Madonna's Oscars rant

A new book reveals Madonna's bad behaviour during rehearsals for the 1991 Oscars. She performed "Sooner Or Later" from the film "Dick Tracy" at the ceremony. The song, written by Stephen Sondheim, won the Best Music, Original Song award. In his new book "The Big Show: High Times and Dirty Dealings at the Academy Awards" writer Steve Pond details the singer's attack on a technician. The man was supposed to supply her with a microphone before she appeared on stage through a trap door but had fallen asleep.
Pond claims she launched into "an astonishing profane tirade despite the fact that the area below the stage was also occupied by a group of children."
"Furious, she grabbed him around the neck and lifted him bodily off the ground, not relinquishing her grip until the trapdoor opened and she began to rise." Pond adds that when her performance was delayed due to a camera operator being injured falling from the stage into the orchestra pit, Madonna was unsympathetic. He quotes her as saying: "But, she's just lying there. Can't we just do this?" "The Big Show" is published in the UK on January 1.
