well it IS Madison Square and Madonna… so i mean… lethal combo dontcha think? after all these years i think she's more than earned the right to command such high prices. it's a prestige thing..not many people can say the same. although I personally wouldn't pay that kind of money it goes to show that clearly there are people who will because she's only becoming more popular and iconic as time goes on

Why refer to madonna as "bitch" so low class of you. I'm sure you didn't mean it in a bad way but come on, you love her right?? Maybe she should of called you Perez my bitch, in her video to you. Just a thought!

It's clearly a slap in the face to average fans who could NEVER afford that. ya know, the fans who've been there buying her CDs since day one. I can understand that artists should be paid for their work but I think this is over the top and so greedy!

For those of you who say to wait and see it free on youtube etc. or buy the dvd later, um, obviously you've never seen her Madgesty in concert. It's worth every penny just to get any seat inside the arena. Go Madonna! I can't wait ’til October!

Re: nyom – no. she's not charging so much because she's retiring soon. Her last three tours have been just as expensive. It's because her live show is so phenomenal that people will pay that much to attend. She's worth it. I know I'm going!

If this woman, who is really fit, and could look pretty and wholesome if she wanted to, if she would just act her freaking age, or 10-15 years younger and quit pushing her ass or boobs in our faces I might be able to stomach looking at her. But as it is, shes becoming a joke. Why doesnt anyone close to her have the balls to tell her that instead of letting her embarrass herself?? Oh well, she must be paying em. Thats sad. Her time for T and A has passed, now go out classy M. Think Grace Kelly, Lucille Ball…ya know classy.

People are such hype lemmings. Unless its that they want to see her before she dies. Not a big fan of her vocals, but that's just me. It will be SOME kind of event, anyway. Too much $ for the tickets for her fellow countrymen who are hurting, IMHO.

they were probably all bought by her team of scalpers. people should really boycott artists who implement such exploitative policies on their own fans.

Everybody knows me as Madonna's biggest fan. I even wrote Encyclopedia Madonnica a few years back. However, I have to say that is it over between me and her. I am no longer a fan. I finally realized that she has suckered so many people into believing that she has talent. She doesn't. Now, she rips off her fans. I'm through with her. Bring on the new Queen of Pop, Mariah Carey!

Madonna does it BETTER!!! says – reply to this

75

As if there was anydoubt she would sell out. Madonna belongs on a stage.. she really shines unlike PIG NOSED BITCH MARIAH CAREY.. who stand their waving her arms like SHE IS DROWING. EVERYBODY knows Madonna doesn;t sing liek Celine Dion and NOBODY that goes to her concert expect her to. She is an extremely good performer and you get what you pay for when you see her. It is easy to talk shit about Madonna's age and her not so steallar singing ability.. but even if Mariah sells 700 million records.. she will never be a true ICON like Madonna. suck it lambs

Criss Angel Responds To Recording Of Altercation! Says Producer Provoked Him!

There are two sides to every story! Here's his!

In light of the audio recording released yesterday that featured Criss Angel threatening to knock out one of his producers, the illusionist's attorney, Ken Woloson, has released the following statement:

"Criss Angel was in the process of firing Joe Safuto on Wednesday when Safuto became abusive and Criss asked him to leave. Criss decided to fire Safuto in response to repeated complaints from co-workers and other magicians about Safuto's abusive and violent behavior and general ineptitude. Witnesses have attested that there was no physical contact and that Safuto very clearly was the antagonist. The audio released to the media is a snippet of a much longer conversation. We are exploring legal action against Mr. Safuto, including for his defamatory and illegal conduct."

Ouch! Sounds like he means business!

Give the clip a listen again (above)!

It DOES certainly sound like Angel was provoked! But enough to respond like he does?

What do U think?? Who's really at fault here??
