Madonna's Interesting Tour Demands

Madonna is considered to be one of the most powerful women over the past century, and by all accounts she knows it. 

Madonna can be quite demanding when it comes to her MDNA tour.

Her entourage of over 200 includes:

30 body guards,

multiple personal chefs, a yoga instructor, 

an acupuncturist and an on-site dry cleaner.

 According to the insider, "when Madonna's performing, she expects her dressing room to come equipped with 20 international phone lines, be draped in a special fabric and filled with lilies and white and light-pink roses that have stems trimmed to precisely six inches."

After the show, the 53-year-old will retire to her hotel, which absolutely must feel like her home away from home.

“She requires all furniture be removed from the rooms and replaced with her own pieces that she has shipped in,” reveals another insider to In Touch.

Ah, it is good to be the queen.

The ultimate in fan memoriabilia....

This weekend gone, Julien's Auctions held one of their regular 'Icons & Idols' auctions where true (cashed up) fans managed to snap up rare finds such as John Lennon's jacket:

This is a jacket that was given as a donation to the Salvation Army where a fan spotted it and salvaged it. The jacket, worn by Lennon in 1966 for a Life magazine photo shoot ... inspired the cover for the Sergeant Pepper album and a strong aesthetic that fans loved and copied and is still going strong today.

Other items that this company has sold this year include Madonna's stage worn 'Girlie Show Tour' bra, stage worn Loafers of Michael Jackson's, hand painted & signed Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones) guitar, 2 of Elvis' handguns, 1 of Princess Diana's ballgowns and a basketball signed by both Michael Jackson & Michael Jordan! Phew....that's a lot of authentic, un-replaceable serious gear right there AND if that wasn't enough, they have just held an exclusive 'Johnny Cash' auction.

So if you win the lottery this Christmas, click here and live the dream and if not, do what the rest of us do and stare in awe.

Madonna's hard bodies were made to wait...

Only 3 days after the first 'Hard Candy Fitness' workout space opened the business was shut down due to the fact that the building and site haven't been inspected and approved. There had not been enough permits issued stating that safety has been correctly taken care of with emergency exits etc. Apparently the jobs had been done, but not all the paperwork had been filed (why does it always come down to missing paperwork!!!)

The first pics of the interior have now been released and not surprisingly, but kind of strangely, the walls are adorned with giant murals and pictures of Madonna....

 After the grand opening, Madonna herself taught a dance class to a select group of 20 people who were also treated to a live DJ music set from Paul Oakenfold as well....LUCKY!!

Now that the inspection has been done the plans are to open quite a few more (see our previous story on this matter here)

Madonna's hard bodies...

Well I have to say this news doesn't exactly come as a big surprise, but it has come to light that the Queen of Pop has ventured into another business avenue and is opening a chain of 'Hard Candy Fitness' health clubs.

The first site will open in Mexico City at the end of November and apparently Madge will have the final say on all aspects of the gyms, which will include juice bars, saunas and yoga areas. There are plans to open gyms in Argentina, Russia, Brazil & Europe.
