Madonna may have been singing for charity at the Live Earth show last weekend, but backstage, pop’s reigning queen took herself far too seriously.
Madonna had an unusual backstage demand at the Live Earth concert: make eye contact.
While some stars issue edicts demanding that minions not look them in the eye, the Material Girl startled organizers of the global warming awareness concert by reportedly insisting that anyone who interviewed her backstage at Wembley Stadium was not allowed to look away.
“Eye contact must be maintained at all times,” interviewers were told, according to the London Mirror. “Never look down to check notes — all questions must be memorized or the interview will be terminated.”
“We thought her people were just joking,” a source told the paper. “But it soon became apparent that they were deadly serious.”
Interviewers were also given a list of questions they were not allowed to ask: no inquiries about the state of her marriage to director Guy Ritchie, about their adoption of a Malawian child, or about her religion, Kabbalah.
And don’t blink! Did…did you just sneeze? And INHALE? You’ll never work in this town again!
Madonna needs to get a grip in a big way.
