Has-Been Pop Star With Faux British Accent Behaves Like a Snake at TIFF

From the Globe and Mail:
Sounds like Madonna was all smiles and compliments for Canada in general and TIFF in particular, when she visited the festival Monday to promote her new film, W.E., about famous divorcé, the Duchess of Windsor, Wallis Simpson. One observer even heard her thank the festival's orange-shirted volunteers.
It was a bit of a different story backstage, however, when eight of those volunteers were asked to turn their faces to a wall so that they would not look at the pop-star-turned-movie-director as she made her way to her press conference about the film. One volunteer told the Globe they all dutifully stood with their backs to her as she passed.
What a beeyotch! How tempted they must have been to look her straight in the eye--and give her the finger.

Then again, maybe she was trying to protect them from catching a glimpse--and turning to stone.

... you'd really be surprised how many *stars* treat their "hires" the same way.

Dianna Ross, Claude van Damme, Paul McCarthy, Hall and Oates, McGiver (or what ever his name is), come to mind from people who in the past told me about being treated in a similar way in their employ.

[oh well.]

They should be ashamed of themselves.
