I can't say that I know Madonna personally, but I'm fairly confident I know what a few of her favorite things are: brutal self-punishing yoga workouts, pretending she has an ounce of talent when it comes to creating or starring in movies, and exotic-looking men who are at least half her age.
One thing's DEFINITELY off the list, though: hydrangeas. Just like you should never feed a dog chocolate or deliberately expose yourself to radioactive isotopes, you should never, ever, ever, ever, EVER give Madonna a hydrangea.
It's unclear what the hydrangea has ever done to offend Madonna, but according to a hilarious video taken during a press conference for her upcoming movie W.E., she "absolutely loathes" them.
Take a look:
So a fan hands her a pretty flower, Madge flashes an insincere smile and immediately hurls it on the floor, then rolls her eyes and grumps to someone off-camera about how the fan OBVIOUSLY didn't KNOW that she LOATHES hydrangeas.
I think my favorite part is how she's talking in a British accent. Oh, the painfully contrived accent is just the deliciously obnoxious cherry on the whole douchebag sundae.
Her rep has actually issued a statement about the offense, saying:
She’s entitled to like any flower she wants and she didn’t want to hurt the feeling of the hydrangeas of the world ... No disrespect to the hydrangeas lovers of the world but she prefers different types of flowers.
I'm not even sure where to get started with that, except I'm pretty sure Madonna's rep just called me a smelly bag of plebeian shit for liking hydrangeas. What? I'm reading between the lines.
Here's a thought, Madonna. Pretty much everyone in the movie industry is convinced your new movie is going to be so bad that watching it will be like jamming the serrated edge of a grapefruit spoon against their eyeballs while simultaneously enduring a lemon-and-pepper-spray colonic, so you might want to try being halfway decent to your fans, since they're the only ones who will be interested in shelling out 20 bucks for the privilege of seeing what you bring to the table as a filmmaker. Which is to say: JUST PRETEND YOU LIKE THE GODDAMNED FLOWERS OH MY GOD.
What's your take on Madonna's floral freakout? Is she justified in being disgusted by the fan's offering?

SO, SO LAME. no, i don't think that all celebrities need to pretend like they actually like their fans when they give them something ... but seriously? a flower? you know, if she's going to cop a fake accent to sound like she's from across the pond, she could at least aim for a little of their grace and tact, too. take the flower, a short "thank you" and a smile and put it down. one of your many handlers can find a more appropriate way to get rid of it later.
i miss 80's madonna. :/
she is a talentless twat....just my opinion...and yes the fake british accents bug me as well, didn't britney spears try to be british at one point??
Grrr. I miss 80's Madonna too....sigh...
Who loathes a type of flower? Really? They're just flowers, I've never known anyone to have such a strong negative feeling towards any type of flower. I definately like some more than others, and I'm not wild over some because of my allergies, but I certainly don't loathe them. And if anyone was nice enough to give me flowers, I would love them, even if it caused itchy eyes and a runny nose.
I think she is an ungrateful bitch who doesn't appreciate her fans. She is so worried about those flowers when she should be worried about treating her fans (the people that fund her lavish lifestyle) with some respect. That fan did not have to go out of their way to buy her a flower and she could show a little but of gratitude. If her fans are so beneath her then I say she doesn't deserve her fans. There are so many women in Hollywood that I can spend my money to see on the Silver Screen....I wouldn't waste a penny on this bitch.
oh and as for the fake British accent....we all know your not British so you can stop now. You are just making yourself look stupid.
How is that a meltdown?
I didn't think she overreacted. Although the smile was faked, she did try and she accepted the flowers even if they were immediately tossed to the side. You would think she would be more aware of her surroundings though and act a little more classy.
