Celebration For Madonna's New Book "Lotsa De Casha"
Bergdorf Goodman
We haven't had this much fun since the days of Diana and JFK Jr.! This one got ugly...
The set-up: 3/4 of
A string of B-List celebs show up- Matt Lauer, Molly Shannon, Rosie O'Donnell....then....mayhem!
Madonna arrives and is greeted by Rosie. Photogs towards the end of the line rush the beginning of the line. Photogs set up 2 spots for double-dippin' which lead to chaos. Madonna poses with a big rat (no not Rosie...a character from her book), no solo fashions. She walks the entire line with this rat. By the time she reaches the end of the b-list shooters, everyone from the beginning has now compressed towards the end. There was a gate separating video from b-list which prevented us from spilling over. So where there were initially 8 photogs, there were now about 20. Since we couldn't spill over to video, the only other place to go was on the carpet.
Security has to now contain the shooters as well a control the rug. This large security guy is sprawled out in front of three shooters, just as Madonna is posing. Some idiot then pushes from the back and almost topples over the swarm of photogs. The back row of photogs gain (some) control of the line, but, there were three people in front pushing forward on the rug. Security then involved the police in the matter because it started to get a little dangerous.
This is when people jumped over the gate into the video section and things just progressed from bad to worse...

why is leaning out and being halfway on the carpet so popular with some shooters? sure, madonna pics sell, but shooting up her nostrils? come on people, stop leaning SO much and messing things up for those down the line.
he (or she) who is without red carpet sin, cast the first stone (or camera battery)
however, one photog was unfairly singled out and chastized(sp?) and possibly blackballed by the PR firm for the photo sins of others.
it was a crazy crazy evening...'bout what I expected.
You know what, if you are in the back row or out of position for the shot than you are simply OUT OF POSITION for the photo op. Pushing, pulling, shoving, slamming,trampling your way into the front row or grasping & crawling on the backs of others is unjust,inconsiderate, selfish & desperate. There are actually people already in the front row who didnh't double dip, waitng for their fair shake at the photo op who were disrupted, & barely able to stand up, let alone take a picture. Either find a position you can work from or go without but don't steal from others to feed your hungry greedy face!
was Kevin Mazur sitting on her lap?
time to feed the animals
would you like some raw steak thrown at you, or something else?
maybe if some people learned the definition of a ZOOM lens!!! you think??
leaning is a result of the massive natural gravitation pull celebrites tend to have on anyone within a 12 mile radius with a recording device....its all physics really, wheres that dude in the wheelchair to explain it all....
