The Newest Feud - Madonna VS. Mariah
Posted On: June 21, 2006
Stories like this is why I frickin love the world of Hollywood gossip.Forget all that ‘holier than thou’ yogi/Kabbalah crap Madonna professes to believe. The NY Daily News reports that she is indulging in that mortal sin of “ha ha I’m selling more concert tickets than you are” against fellow female diva, Mariah Carey.
From The NY Daily News:
Years ago, Mariah Carey paid Her Madgesty a backhanded compliment by telling an interviewer how she grew up listening to the songs of the 11-years-older star. So, sources claim, it’s no wonder the 47-year-old diva is taking delight in measuring her ticket sales against those of the 36-year-old songbird.
Last week, a spy tells us, Madonna was getting ready to go onstage in Chicago when someone told her Carey had been forced to cancel three tour dates. (Billboard reports that Madge’s “Confessions” tour is on track to gross a record-breaking $200 million.)
“Madonna laughed hysterically,” according to a source. “She has been asking her tour promoters to E-mail her Mariah’s numbers!”
Madonna is also said to have been tickled to hear that Carey didn’t appreciate her musical director, “American Idol” judge Randy Jackson, revealing on TV that he’d been inspired by Madonna’s show in L.A.
Madonna’s rep, Liz Rosenberg, argues that Madonna doesn’t give a fig about Carey’s ticket sales — and “she has no negative feelings toward Mariah.”
A Carey rep argues, “Her tour is selling really well. She’s canceled a few cities so she can add shows in larger cities. Toronto and Vancouver are sold out. So is her Madison Square Garden show. She’s adding a Jones Beach show Sept. 3″
If we are lucky this could turn into a colossal cat fight for the ages.
