The Las Vegas Review Journal’s Norm Clarke reports Madonna has been so moody and difficult to deal with on her Drowned World tour that her crew members have resorted to referring to her in code name as the Texas woman who drowned her children.
A spy tells Clarke, “They’re calling her Andrea, as in Andrea Yates, the Texas woman who drowned her children. Even when she’s around, they use the name because she doesn’t have any idea.”
The Las Vegas Review Journal’s Norm Clarke reports Madonna’s daughter Lourdes has become a terror backstage scribbling with crayons all over backstage at her Drowned World tour.
Madonna’s backstage rider calls for two bottles of Absolut vodka, not to be drank as Madonna isn’t a drinker, but to remove stains from her Jean-Paul Gaultier costumes.
Madonna’s wardrobe mixes the vodka with a small amount of water to remove the stains from her outfits.
Peoplenews reports Britney and Madonna are set to go head to head in a battle of the titans with both singers releasing their albums early November.
A source told the site, “We expect to see Britney’s next album and Madonna’s next greatest hits going onto the shelves in early November. Nothing boosts sales like a decent diva feud.” Madonna’s rep laughed off the talk saying, “We haven’t even confirmed that the album is going to be released this year,” adding, “There would be no deliberate confrontation.”
The Las Vegas Review Journal’s Norme Clark reports Madonna has told her inner circle that the Bush twins are not to be allowed any VIP treatment or backstage access to her concert in Las Vegas Sunday.

The Drowned World Tour hits the MGM Grand Garden on Sunday.
Jim Degrogatis of the Chicago Sun Times reviewed Madonna’s show at the United Center in Chicago last night saying, “At 43, the dance diva and pop princess is as magnetic as ever, aging gracefully, and clearly retaining her provocative crown.”
Degrogatis says the sound was great as well as the lights, videos, and stage sets but he says the show “has been the same every night, with zero spontaneity.”
