• Madonna goes to a cricket game and annoys people

  Madonna has lived in London for some years now but it appears that she still has not taken a liking for the sport of cricket.  In May, Madonna wowed a 12,000-strong crowd with tracks from her new album, Hard Candy, at her only UK festival appearance of the summer – at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Maidstone, Kent.  The event was opened by American R'n'B heavyweight Usher, who got off to a bad start when he told the crowd how delighted he was to be playing in Manchester (when he was in Kent!). However, the cricket lovers of the town were not wowed.   Her Madonna-ness flew down on a cricket match and landed the helicopter near Mote Park despite complaints from the cricket teams, according to the Daily Star.   Daily Star noted "But the Material Girl’s arrival infuriated two local teams who refused to cancel their game, despite losing their bails and a few cucumber sarnies as Madge’s flying machine landed."  My man at silly mid-off said: “Organisers tried to get them to postpone the match but they refused so we had no choice but to land the helicopter during the game. There were certainly some grumpy men in whites.” "We had weeks of negotiations getting Madonna on site," added a source. "We were told to imagine our own queen was paying a visit and then some."    Posted Sep 01 2008, 07:18 PM with no comments Filed under: Madonna, Cricket babes
