A catfight of epic proportions could have occurred over the weekend —if only Madonna had cared enough to let it happen.

Kate showed up at the  Veuve Clicquot’s Manhattan Polo Classic on Governors Island Saturday afternoon, disguised in a floppy hat and huge sunglasses and told party guests that she didn’t want to be recognized.

“Kate was completely intimidated by Madonna,” said one guest. “She clearly didn’t want trouble and decided to keep a low profile for the rest of the match.”
Said a second guest, “I didn’t even see Kate Hudson again after Madonna arrived. She ran away! But if I were dating Madonna’s ex, I’d be scared, too!”

While Hudson hung out in the back of the tent, Madonna rocked her royal status. After showing up in a black Mercedes-Benz with several NYPD escorts, she held court with boy toy Jesus Luz, her kids Rocco Ritchie and David Banda, as well as pals Marc Jacobs, Lorenzo Martone and photographer Steven Klein.

“Madonna literally didn’t care,” said a third eyewitness.

“She showed up with no makeup, a dowdy outfit and her hair pulled up in a ponytail. She doesn’t need to compete with Kate, because she will always be Queen Bee.”
