Madonna used bad language in front of group of kids
By Angela Baldassarre
According to a new book, actress/pop star Madonna burst into a tirade of bad language during rehearsals for her 1991 Oscar appearance. This is despite the fact a group of children were standing just yards away. The singer is alleged to have become angry when told that a technician had fallen asleep. He was supposed to be controlling a microphone which was to appear out of nowhere.
She launched into "an astonishing profane tirade despite the fact that the area below the stage was also occupied by a group of children," writes journalist Steve Pond in his upcoming book "The Big Show: High Times and Dirty Dealings at the Academy Awards." Pond adds: "Furious, she grabbed (the bearer of the bad news) around the neck and lifted him bodily off the ground, not relinquishing her grip until the trapdoor opened and she began to rise."
It is also claimed that Madonna became angry when her performance was delayed because a female camera operator was seriously injured after falling off the stage into the orchestra pit. When told of the reason for the delay, the pop star is said to have asked: "But, she's just lying there. Can't we just do this?"
Madonna was rehearsing her song "Sooner or Later", from her "Dick Tracy" movie.
The book also reveals how Whitney Houston began singing "The Way We Were" during rehearsals for the 2000 awards while pianist Burt Bacharach was playing "Over the Rainbow."
