Security is so tight that even her husband Guy Ritchie had trouble getting in

Monday, 12 May 2008

Madonna caused a stir at Radio 1’s Big Weekend with her diva demands, according to insiders at the gig in Maidstone, Kent.

The star, who retained her No1 spot in the singles chart with 4 Minutes, asked organisers to fly her from her London home to the event in Kent by helicopter. She’s also believed to have requested that they pay for her designer pals Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana to be flown in from Italy.

‘Madonna caused her share of backstage ructions when she jetted in for her 20-minute set,’ a source tells the Daily Mirror. ‘As well as her own VIP area, she had a 70-strong entourage and 3 dressing rooms.

‘Her security was so tight, even hubby Guy Ritchie had trouble getting in.’

Madonna, 49 – who almost popped out of her top during one song – also caused controversy by swearing. The concert was being aired live on BBC3 and Radio 1.

‘You guys are going to have to start f***ing it up out there ’cos I need to feel some love,’ she said. ‘I’m going to do an old song. But not too old. F**k the present. Let’s live in the past.’
