what a silly thread about nothing.

She wasn't rude to the fan and politely accepted it. What she says in what she thought was a private moment is irrelevant. If any of us was handed a gift we didnt like we would say the exact same thing. No question.

If she were a cow she'd have been rude to the fans face.

True Zippy.

She's not THE Madonna.

she did!

Can't wait till Harry sees this thread :laugh:

Yeah, but she hadn't even finished the press conference or whatever it was, she waited till the guy left, then said she hated them.

Can't believe people are getting wound up by this non-story, considering all the stuff going on in the world. Threads like this make me wonder why 'news stories' was ever combined with 'serious debates'. This isn't even a news story, it's celebrity trivia.

hating a flower seems a bit ott..

big deal. But we all know you ain't no Madonna fan so go sit with Pyramid.

Madonna being Madonna,she has stirred up a fair bit of controversy in her time but she marches on and her music is awesome.

no

maybe she was abused by one when she was younger :hmph:

I have to say also though, we have hydrangeas in our garden at home but its something I would never think of giving to someone,or lilies,without knowing or just having an idea they liked them first.

Shows how little you know about other forum members then Zippy.... I am actually is a HUGE Madonna fan.

Difference is: I have the ability to actually accept when someone I like has overstepped the mark as far as disrespecting her fan/s is concerned - I don't stumble along blithely ignoring when they screw up and make a mockery of the people that put her where she is.

dead simple Zippy...... if you think any thread is silly, about nothing - simply don't post in it - as I have been told by others (including the mods).

Press conferences aren't private moments..... :joker:

Good point, they are not.

if I didnt post in it then I wouldn't be able to tell you how silly it was...and why. Calling her a cow just for being honest in a private moment.

99% of the threads on this forum are about frivilous stuff, considering all the stuff going on in the world.......

Who's getting wound up. It's called Freedom of Speech.

I'm entitled to start a thread if I wish Zippy, without you doing nothing but coming onto it to state how silly it is or I am, for calling her cow etc....for giving my opinion.

Seems you are hell bent on taking things to personal level and commenting on forum members personally, than the actual thread subject.

No theyre publicity events. But you can still have a private moment within one. She was away from the mic and it was obviously just meant to be heard by her friend. Again, she was polite and gracious to the fan and that's really what matters.

Precisely...they are not private.

She ws not away from the mic otherwise it would not have been heard.

She was not away from the cameras otherwise it would not have been captured.

She should have kept her mouth shut until she was in private. It's that little known thing called 'respect' (seems she's all into respecting herself and to hell with obliging others with a little of the same)

Good luck with the freedom of speech thing... this time.

Madonna gets a shrub she doesn't like and is overheard making a comment. And there is it, nestling amongst "Ground Zero Mosque" and "Judge gives Squatters the go-ahead". It is out of place.

Good point Livia, I've moved this to celebrity news

She should have known to keep quiet until it was all over, surely the one thing she should have learned over the years when it comes to fans is subtlety.

good point? It was housed in the correct section,given that it originated from a news story in a newspaper. ;)

yeah, but it was a news story about a celebrity, they've got to come from somewhere
