Madonna demands eye contact
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.
“She did not want to do any interviews, which I told the Live Earth folks from the start,” Madonna’s rep told The Scoop, adding that she didn’t know about any backstage demands.

Whatever Madonna! Instead of being so demanding, you should be happy someone wants to interview you. You look old and I think you are sooooo boring. Look at this pix of you ……….. your hair is look awful, maybe you should try some extensions and maybe some lotion for your wrinkly arms might be a good idea too!

WTF!! MATE.. If it wasn’t for the PUBLIC you would be a nobody! I can’t believe some celebrities could demand such ridiculous rules. Who are they anyways? GOD? give me a frikin break, all the furtune she got is from US the public and if she wants her privacy then she shouldn’t be in the Media/Celebrity at all!! I would love to tell her to stop being bitter, egotistical, over exagerrated old looking bitch and just appreciate that people still wants to talk about you and interview you.
