Madonna is not having a good week. Her movie, ‘W.E.’ premiered at the film festival – where it’s being panned by several critics. During various press conferences, Madonna’s gone off on everyone from Lady Gaga to a peasant fan who had the NERVE to give her hydrangeas.

Here’s a bit of what Madonna had to say about Gaga:

Lady Gaga has spoken openly about her love for the Material Girl and has paid homage to the pioneering pop star both in song and performance style. But it appears that her admiration society isn’t a mutual one.

When a French newspaper recently asked about her superfamous adoring fan, Madonna didn’t have much to say in the way of encouragement-or appreciation.

“As for Lady Gaga, I have no comment to make about her obsessions having to do with me because I don’t know whether her behavior is rooted in something deep and meaningful, or superficial,” Madonna reportedly told Le Soir.

Madonna’s rep, Liz Rosenberg didn’t immediately have a comment regarding the interview, but she told E! News, “I do know that [Madonna] has said many supportive things about Gaga over the years.”

The other diva’s rep hasn’t yet returned a request for comment, but…any perceived Madonna diss has got to kind of suck for Gaga, who, when “Born This Way” came out, was accused by the hoi polloi of ripping off Madonna’s “Express Yourself.”

After performing the hit tune at the Grammys, Gaga said on The Tonight Show that she had received an email from Madonna’s camp in support of the song.

“You know, there is really no one that is a more adoring and loving Madonna fan than me,” Gaga said. “I am the hugest fan personally and professionally.”

Madonna’s rep later told E! News, however, that she did not know of any such email coming from their corner.

And here – Madge goes completely bitchy on a fan who dares to give the Material Girl hydrangeas. “I absolutely loathe hydrangeas. He obviously doesn’t know that.”

So naturally, her rep Liz Rosenberg is trying to do damage control.

On Madonna’s Gaga comments: “She didn’t diss Gaga.”

On the hydrangeas: “The hydrangea incident is so ridiculous… It’s not like she said she hated warm chocolate chip cookies and milk and little puppies! She’s entitled to like any flower she wants and she didn’t want to hurt the feeling of the hydrangeas of the world. No disrespect to the hydrangeas lovers of the world but she prefers different types of flowers.”

I think Madonna just had a bad week….but I guess that’s no excuse. Bitchy is as bitchy does.

During a news conference in Italy, a fan walked up to Madonna and handed her a boquet of beautiful purple hydrangeas. But apparently he didn’t know the singer “LOATHES” them. She is heard on the mic saying “I absolutely loathe hydrangeas. How does he not know that?” Poor guy, how in the hell would anyone know that!?

Madonna is at the Venice Film Festival promoting her new film, ‘W.E.’.

Madonna hit the red carpet last night in a custom baby blue Vionnet gown. Her red butterfly embellished dress was complemented by red glitter Miu Miu sunglasses.

The movie’s star, Abbie Cornish looks absolutely stunning in a Atelier Versace Spring 2011 gown. Marisa Tomei looks gorgeous in a dress by Erdem.

I’m kind of impressed with Madonna’s look! She looks really pretty! Usually she opts for such dark clothing. It’s nice to see her lighten it up a bit!

Unfortunately, her movie, ‘W.E.’ is already being panned by critics.

Madonna may be the “queen of pop,” but her crown as movie director slipped this week after most early reviews of her second feature film “W.E.” ranged from middling to poor.

The picture, which had its world premiere at the Venice film festival on Thursday, is loosely based on the life of American divorcee Wallis Simpson, whose affair with Kind Edward VIII led to his abdication.

Madonna said she had been fascinated by the story for some time, pondering why a man would make such a huge sacrifice for love.

Andrea Riseborough stars as Simpson and Abbie Cornish as a modern-day woman who becomes obsessed with the person who prompted a constitutional crisis in 1936.

Britain’s Guardian newspaper did not spare Madonna’s feelings with a one-out-of-five star review.

“Could it be that Madonna is in deadly earnest here?” wrote Xan Brooks.

“If so, her film is more risible than we had any right to expect; a primped and simpering folly, the turkey that dreamed it was a peacock.”

Others were less damning, although the general tone was negative and one website quipped that it may be time for the 53-year-old singer to abdicate as a film maker.

Todd McCarthy of the Hollywood Reporter opined: “Madonna’s second foray into directing is pleasing to the eyes and ears, but lacking anything for the soul.”

The budget of W.E. is estimated to be around $15 million, and it hits movie theatres in North America in December.

I’m not a huge fan of Madonna on film. Either behind the camera – or in front. I’m not sure who’s giving her money to direct movies. Maybe she’s fronting it herself?

Madonna arrived at the Venice Film Festival wearing a simple black dress and a big smile. No doubt she is excited (and anxious) for people to see her film W.E. which is premiering at the festival. The plot is centered around the tale of Wallis Simpson and King Edward but it’s a modern take on the story and of course, there’s a twist.

This movie marks Madonna’s second stab at directing. Her first attempt, 2008′s Filth and Wisdom didn’t go down so well so all eyes are on Madge. Can she pull it off?

Madonna arrives to celebrate her 53rd Birthday in London with boyfriend Brahim Zaibat and her children, Rocco Ritchie, David Banda, Mercy James and Lourdes Leon.

They just get younger and younger!

The singer was spotted packing on the PDA with her 24-year-old boyfriend, Brahim Zaibat, while celebrating her birthday in The Hamptons over the weekend.

While her two youngest children, David and Mercy, both 5, played in the sand, the dressed-down Material Girl shared a passionate kiss with the French break-dancer.

The singer, who turns 53 Tuesday, began dating Zaibat in late 2010 after he performed at the launch of her Macy’s clothing line with daughter Lourdes, 14.

Madonna’s previous loves include first husband Sean Penn, Warren Beatty, Dennis Rodman, Carlos Leon, second husband Guy Ritchie (they share son Rocco, 10), Alex Rodriguez and Jesus Luz.

The singer’s manager, Guy Oseary, recently announced that Madonna is hard at work on her twelfth studio album!

I can’t believe how big Rocco is getting!

It’s no secret that celebrities will go to great lengths to turn back the hands of time and reverse the aging process, so it should come to no surprise that it was discovered that pop sensation Madonna reportedly purchased a $75,000 acoustic eave therapy machine to battle cellulite. The soon-to-be 53-year-old iconic singer allegedly uses the machine twice a week and records her thigh measurements, and according to a source Madonna flips out if her measurements are off by even one inch.

Madonna is so fixated on her cellulite that it has destroyed her relationship with her longtime exercise guru, Tracy Anderson.

“Tracy grew to dread the early-morning phone calls from Madonna ranting about what a useless trained she was,” according to one of Tracy’s pals.”Madonna would threaten to fire her, and Tracy had to talk her down each time.”

“The measuring and ranting used to drive her ex-husband Guy [Ritchie] crazy,” reports the insider. “He would mock her and joke that he noticed a few dimples, which he thought was tremendously funny, but she obviously didn’t.”

I’ll stick with squats and lunges, thanks.

Madonna and her 24-year-old boyfriend Brahim Zaibat stepped out of their hotel in Paris over the weekend.

Friday night Madonna and Zaibat headed straight to a lavish dinner at Paris’ top-rated Ritz restaurant, L’Espadon…but People.com reports that the French getaway wasn’t all pleasure, as Saturday evening Madonna brought Zaibat to dinner with colleagues such as Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci and model Mariacarla Boscono, who played roles in helping the Material Girl develop her wardrobe for her last tour.

And while Madonna and Zaibat are said to have partied into the oui hours of the night at Paris’ super-club, the VIP Room, middle-aged Madge was up bright and early the following day hitting a flea market tout seul.

Reports suggest that breakup between Madonna and Zaibat back in May was fabricated because, really what cute French dancer would mind being wooed by a multi-millionaire, power-player woman who just happens to be Madonna?

Do you think it’s creepy that Maddona is dating someone half her age? At 52 – Maddona and Brahim are 28 years apart!
