Madonna Ungrateful for Fan Gift, 'I Absolutely Loathe Hydrangeas' [VIDEO] - International Business Times

During a press conference, Madonna appeared ungrateful when a fan gave her a bouquet of hydrangeas, muttering under her breath about how she hates the particular flower.

The male fan walked up to Madge during the Venice Film Festival press conference for her new film "W.E." and presented a bunch of purple-blue flowers.

Madonna accepted the flowers smiling and saying "Thank you." Afterward she rolled her eyes and made a sour face while hiding them underneath her seat. Little did Madonna know, the entire incident was caught on microphone and camera.

"I absolutely loathe hydrangeas," she said to Andrea Riseborough, star of "W.E." who was sitting on her right. "He [the fan] obviously doesn't know that."

According to the Los Angeles Times, the fan who gave her the flowers approached Madonna, asking where the bouquet went.

Madonna reportedly said, "Oh, um, my assistant took them."

Madonna also announced during the festival that she is currently working on a new album. Her 12th studio album will debut in spring 2012 as part of her new deal with Live Nation signed in 2007.

Madonna Will Stand Trial Next Month to Defend ‘Material Girl’

It’s been a little over a year since apparel manufacturer L.A. Triumph slapped Madonna with a lawsuit, claiming that her “Material Girl” line for Macy’s threatens their own “Material Girl” juniors clothing line that they have been selling since 1997. We thought it sounded crazy, considering the fact that Madonna invented “Material Girl,” the song (well, writers did, but you know what we mean), in 1984.

However, we learned last August that L.A. Triumph actually had a leg to stand on, because while Madonna may have the copyright to the name of the song, she doesn’t have the trademark, since she hadn’t yet sold any products bearing the name (several missed opportunities there if you ask us!)

Madonna, understandably, was hoping they didn’t–she requested that the court throw out the lawsuit, which the judge has denied. From WWD:

On Aug. 31, a year after the suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, Judge S. James Otero rejected an argument from MG Icon — a joint venture between Madonna, her manager, Guy Oseary, and Iconix Brand Group Inc. — that Madonna was the senior user of the Material Girl trademark because she performed the popular song “Material Girl” in 1984.

This means that Madonna is going to trial. It’s scheduled to start in mid-October and if L.A. Triumph wins, not only will Madonna have to fork over some cash, but she’ll also have to change the name of the clothing brand she’s been selling at Macy’s since fall 2010. This begs the question: if Madonna loses, what other Madonna song should she change the name to?
