Madge gets miffed
Madonna appeared on stage 50 minutes late in Manchester, England, the other night. News reports say many fans were getting increasingly anxious about missing the last public transit home, so when she did appear, there was some booing.
Madge lost it: “I don’t like to be late by the way, all right? And all you (female dogs) who keep complaining about it can shut the (bad word) up. I’m not back there eating chocolate, filing my nails and getting my extensions done, all right?
“The video crashed. We had to wait until we could reboot. No selfish diva (female dog) reason. If you diva (same again, plural) want to keep complaining about it, don’t come to my show.”
While you’re waiting for the Star Wars movie, wouldn’t it be nice to chill out with The Light Side and The Dark Side ice cream flavours?
These are licensed Star Wars products, made by Ample Hills, a dairy in Brooklyn, N.Y., and discovered by New York magazine’s foodie website Grub Street.
The company describes the products this way:
“The Light Side is a bright marshmallow ice cream with homemade crispie clusters, as well as a smattering of handmade cocoa crispies (to represent the dark side still lurking within the light).
“The Dark Side, by contrast, is an ultra-dark chocolate ice cream with espresso fudge brownies, cocoa crispies, and white chocolate pearls (to represent the light still hiding in the dark, waiting to burst through).”
Inter-galactically delicious, they sound. But available in Canada, they are not.
Taylor Swift, scolded by selfprofessed “cultural critic” Camille Paglia, just shakes it off. You saw the item, yes? Paglia denounced Swift’s “Nazi Barbie” practice of making a fuss over her friendship with her “squad” of celebrity women friends. Swift often brought these pals — Leona Lewis, Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Jessica Alba, Ellen Pompeo and many others — on stage at gigs during her justconcluded tour. Paglia sniffed that this was “exhibitionist overkill” via “tittering, tongues-out mugging.”
Here’s Taylor’s reply, from an Australian interview quoted in the Telegraph: “It would have been weird to not include my friends. My friends would fly out, we’d all be in one place. It actually became a way for us all to get together when we’re all really busy.”
