Madonna may be incredible on stage, but in the audience, she’s pretty awful.
That’s the word from Broadway star Alan Cumming, who became great pals with the Material Mom after a rocky start at one of his shows. Cumming tells the Talk Art podcast, “Madonna came to see Cabaret the first time I did it on Broadway. I could see her braiding her hair whilst she was watching the show. We thought she might come backstage but she didn’t and I thought, ‘Oh, she hated it, how awful.’ Then this big man came into my room and said he was Madonna’s driver and she wanted me to go to dinner with her.”
The cheeky actor brought that up at one of Madge’s Madame X shows last year. “When she was doing her concerts, I got free tickets. There was a bit when she sits down next to a member of the audience and it’s usually a famous person and she has a little chat. She talked about coming to see me in Cabaret and I said, ‘I remember you were braiding your hair.’ She was like, ‘Was I? That’s incredibly rude.’ And I went, ‘Yes, it was rude.’”

Beyoncé is paying tribute to a late fan. She shared a special a cappella medley of “Brown Skin Girl,” “Love on Top” and “Halo” in honor of Lyric Chanel. The 13-year-old fan died after a two-year battle with brain cancer. Beyoncé’s YouTube video featured a montage of videos and photos from Chanel’s Instagram. Back in 2020, Beyoncé sent her flowers.
