The ongoing feud between Lady Gaga and the woman she impersonates--er--looks to for inspiration is heating up. Yes, Madonna the original individualistic, envelope-pushing, outré Material Girl has reportedly demanded that her pop star/provocateur carbon copy must be barred from any Oscar after party that Madonna attends. Oh well, you can't blame a woman for knowing what she wants--or doesn't want near her at a party.
Yes, Madonna reportedly issued an ultimatum almost a month before the 84th Academy Awards ceremony. Oscar after party planners must make a choice. They can either have Madonna at their party or they can have her cartoonish imitation, Lady Gaga. They cannot have both. Makes sense.
"It's unusual for Madonna to be so petty," reveals a source. "She doesn't usually act like this, even about bitter enemies such as Sean Penn and J-Lo. But she didn't want to be forced into a photo-op with GaGa."
And who can blame her? Madonna probably doesn't want to get close enough to the Lady to get stung by the live bees in her bonnet or to smell the meat in her dress which must get pretty putrid by the end of the evening. Of course, the always more polite Madonna put it more politely:
"I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm a control freak, but I am a detail freak," she explained.
Actually, Madonna was referring to the control she exerted as a director on her new film, "W.E." But hey, if the shoe fits.

it may seem that I'm bashing Madonna, but I'm not...I do love her, I just wish she could age a little more gracefully... You don't see Cher ragging on the up and coming girls. Speaking of Cher, when Madonna was in early 30's, she made fun of Cher(Pre Believe) for being too old and a joke...Cher was only in her 40's. It's really sad, but Madonna has become the joke...going on 54 and having to do duets with kids to get her name out there. If only she was as spiritual as she tries so desperately to convince us she is.
I think its time for the Queen Mum to step as aside...there's a new Queen of Pop....nothing is forever Madonna...no matter how tight you get your face pulled.
"People these days don't know about good music"...thats what people always say about youth....Its the first sign you're getting old Avery. You Avery are the perfect example of the insecure Madonna fan I was speaking of. You're so frightened that someone is out there who can actually sing and is having number one hits and pushing the envelope. If you ever bother to get over your fears and listen to the Gaga's lyrics...that she actually writes herself, including the music...you will would see her lyrics contain meaning.
"Madonna the original individualistic" this statement proves how young and clueless you truly are. Janis Joplin, Cherie Currie( wore lingerie on state in the 70's when it was truly shocking), Joan Jett, Debbie Harry, Patty Smith and Pat Benatar were true individualistic pioneers long before Madonna showed up with her fake New York accent, which is now a fake British accent.
The only thing I find more insecure than Madonna are her fans. Deep down they know untalented old hag has been replaced by the younger and more talented Lady Gaga. Madonna hasn't had a number one song in the US in 12 years; Lady Gaga comes on to the scene and breaks records...bitch all you want Madonna fans, the writing is in the charts.
Its funny, but not one madonna fan can come up with one decent argument of why she is better than Gaga. They just go on about her being a pioneer and more talented...two total untruths that have been clearly pointed out here by a few people.
It must be nice for Old madge to have such diehard fans, too bad she treats them like crap.
What really cracks me up is that Madonna fans bash Gaga by claiming her songs are ripping off Madge...Gaga has put out three albums in four years and one songs out of dozens bares a resemblance to one Madonna song and all you aging queens jump all over it. Its not like Gaga was trying to hide the insperation...she's posing at the end of the video with a big ugly gap in her teeth, looking a lot like Madonna.
Gaga was paying homage to her idol...its just a shame her idol is an aging diva that can't take a compliment.
