There was a massive cake, an extravagant buffet, expensive champagne and rap poets performing a special message to a Birthday Girl who was draped in gold jewellery – but a curious absence of showbiz friends.
Madonna failed to hide her dismay as her closest celebrity pals, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Stella McCartney, snubbed her L100,000 50th birthday party at the swanky Volstead nightclub in London’s Mayfair on Saturday night.
It was left to husband Guy Ritchie, 39, daughter Lourdes, 11, sons Rocco, eight, and David, two, around 50 of her dancers and some work colleagues to toast her half century.
In a 40-minute speech to her 90 guests, Madonna thanked Guy, her children and her Kabbalah religion, before admitting: “I’m really disappointed.
“There are a lot of people who are not here tonight, but thanks to everyone who did make it.
“I can’t believe I have reached half a century. It only happens once and this is an event I’m glad to be sharing with you.”
After a rapturous round of Happy Birthday, Lourdes left her mum teary-eyed by playing a song from Fame on the grand piano as a surprise.
Guy, who helped organise the party, had spared no expense. The buffet, on tables adorned with roses and candles, included kosher-prepared Wagyu beef, foie gras and caviar, all washed down with L450 bottles of Krug Rose champagne, martinis, “Crackbaby” cocktails and mojitos. Dominating the display was a three-tiered chocolate, raspberry and vanilla birthday cake covered in silver balls and crystallised rose petals.
Guy also made a speech, telling his missus: “Out of all your years, you look your most beautiful.” But he couldn’t resist pointing out that most of Madge’s guests worked for her. And he refused to join her on the dancefloor, which had a huge ‘M’ in the middle.
Weirdly, he had also spent the entire day working. He had organised a private screening for industry critics of his movie RocknRolla at the National Film Theatre on London’s Southbank.
A source said: “It was as if he was trying to make a point by not being at her beck and call.”

okay maggie…
how about a nice soy bacon / lettuce / tomato sandwich
on artisan bread (hold the marmite please)
for myself, that would satisfy my cravings
good enough
and you can enjoy your regular bacon sandwich…
then we can go catch the Sticky & Sweet tour live in Cardiff,
yes…
deal?
@Shardy – I have eaten donkey cock.
And I bite my nails, so that makes me (technically) a cannibal.
And my hubby is a chef, so he knows how to prepare the most delicious meals. I think you need a juicy, succulent bacon sandwich and calm down. You are obviously lacking in vital vitamins and minerals which makes you tick. Proves to me that all veggies are indeed the mentally unbalanced ones.
(I am now eating toast with marmite – BOILED DOWN BONES YUMMY!)
Shardy, you need to get a grip you evil bitch
WTF?
i am not forcing myself on ANYONE here
again – if you feel ” forced upon ” than that’s your CHOICE
NO ONE HERE is ” forcing ” you to read or react
to my opinion(s)
YOU make that choice
hypocrisy is rampant, no matter who you are
i’ve noticed that NO one here is willing to simply accept it
you feel that i am a ” hypocrite ”
then so be it, i won’t ” force ” you to feel otherwise
feeling disappointment in the fact that M
chose to enjoy those pointless foods are my issue
yet you have chosen to make MY disappointment
with M’s choice in cuisine, YOUR issue
perhaps you should ask yourself why you even bother
with a ” sanctimonious hypocrite ” like me..?
as for maggie…
dog
squirrel
dolphin
bushmeat
pigeon
lamb
cow
parasites
goat
etc….
um….yeeeeah sweetie…
i’m not sure which label is more accurate for you
proud carnivore – or mentally unbalanced
maggie:
here is a suggestion for you and quitcherbichinn
invite quitcherbichinn over for dinner
set the table all posh like, you know, really fancy
prepare a flesh filled feast, perhaps along with
the more ” exotic “meal choices you seem to enjoy…
perhaps you should serve quitcherbichinn
some human flesh..?
after all maggie,
that perhaps, is the ONE meats you haven’t tried…
or have you?
on second thought,
don’t bother answering my query
i think i already know the answer
Dog tastes nice
So does whale meat and dolphins
And I have more or less eaten every available bug on this planet, been to China many times.
Goat is lovely, especially curried;
I have eaten all types of bushmeat;
I’m even planning on eating a squirrel this weekend, as there is one pesky one running around in my garden, and I have my catapault ready.
Pigeon tastes good.
So, Shardy, please explain HOW I am a hypocrite?? I eat MANY species of animal. Plus my breath doesn’t smell (like all veggies does Y-U-K!!)
You’re about as hypocritical as my old friend Heather Mills
@ – quitcherbichinn – Lovin’ your comments
none of my comments have shown even a hint of hypocrisy so you need to get over yourself. throughout history mankind has eaten dead animals. we are carnivores afterall. if you choose to force yourself to be something you are not then so be it. but that doesn’t mean we have to follow YOUR beliefs. if you wanna be a vegetarian then so be it…be one. i just hope you don’t eat or consume ANYTHING that is a product or byproduct of milk, eggs or the like. for if you do then YOU are the true hypocrite.
in the end i couldn’t give a flying fig what YOU eat or what anyone else eats…that’s for you to worry about. this is the point that is escaping you. you are the hollier than thou sanctimonious hypocrite trying to force his/her beliefs on everyone else and condemning anyone who doesn’t conform to them.
the fact YOU don’t get this and your fellow veggies don’t get this is just more proof as to how hypocritical and sanctimonious you truly are.
so…
if ” meat is meat ” and ” food is food ”
to all of the carnivores who found my critique of M’s
birthday cuisine, as well comment(s) and explanation
to be “sanctimonious” and “hypocritical”
why not dine on a nice roasted dog or cat?
cream of horse soup anyone…?
i mean…
if you feel that flesh is flesh / food is food
correct..?
then just fuck it – prove your allegiance to your convictions
regarding the consumption of flesh to satisfy and delight
your carnivorous tendencies
go ahead, enjoy a nice leg of cat or liver of dog…
hell, there are plenty of folks who enjoy rabbit and duck
(some folks even keep rabbits and ducks as family pets)
horses too…
why stop with only a few animals for consumption?
sounds absurd doesn’t it…
just as absurd as it sounds when you claim i am ” forcing ”
my point of view on you by reading a comment i posted
on a computer screen
that is the hypocrisy of the proud carnivore
you have NO problem eating one living species
yet you are repulsed at the thought of eating another
that you find compassion for (or perhaps you don’t)
PATHETIC.
the reason why some of us find the consumption
and enjoyment of animals repugnant is because it
is just THAT – it’s REPUGNANT
but, the human animal has not evolved past the point
of fully realizing that there is more to sustaining human
life by consuming another living entity, or wearing it’s pelts
to maintain comfort
if you all want to find the true hypocrisy and the true
hypocrite – you need only read your own replie(s) to my
post(s) to find it
so…please go ahead, eat your hamburgers, sip your soups,
keep warm in your fur lined coats, savor that precious duck
liver, and rabbit stew
however,
don’t think you are far above your own hypocrisy
i know for a fact you are not
Oh Lordy Shardy! You really need to loosen up. Foie Gras is MOST delicious. So is a big, juicy, home-made beef-burger, made with 100% beef with seasoning. At the moment I am boiling lambs bones to make me a delicious soup for tomorrow. And who gives a fcuk if I burn in hell. I’m an unmarried mother who lives in sin with my long-term lover LOL
Why oh why are vegetarians THE most negative, sanctamonious people in the world who want to force THEIR point of veiws onto people. I know plenty of famous ‘vegetarians’ who, the moment the camera is not on them, dive into a Big Mac.
yeah seriously..get the fuck over it. who gives a flying shit what she ate or what she eats. i’d bet my last breathe that you holier than thou tree hugging hippie liberals are hipocritical somewhere in your life. i guaranfuckingtee it! so it’s joke that you sit here and whine and cry over what she eats and how cruel blah blah blah it is.
get off the effin cross we need the wood. step down off your soapbox and stfu.
Who gives a fcuk what Em ate for her birthday meal. There are MORE important things in life to worry about. Jeez, some people need to loosen up
Glad you had a great time Madonna X
Hypocrite just like a lot of stuff she does, makes me sad, I’m dissapointed, but M is just a person, get this yes-fans: She is not GOD
M you are not GOD
Watch this cruelty on foie gras:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=qxR4oCg35Jg
if you found my comment about the cuisine that was
served at M’s B-Day to be “forcing my views” upon you…
then you are all too easily influenced
it find it ironic at best – and hypocritical at worst,
that a woman like M,
with SO much at her disposal, with SO many wonderful
things at her choosing as well as M’s efforts to better the world,
would herself in fact, make a conscious choice
to dine on a meal that consists of duck liver from waterfowls
that were force fed high concentrations of fatty nutrients via
a feeding tube that is forced down their throats to increase the size of their livers, for the better duration of their cruel lives…
to feast and savor the flesh of a cow that has been inverted
on a large and heavy rope, had their necks slashed open so
that the blood can drain slowly from the wound in which
most cases they suffocate from the blood flowing over their
nostrils in accordance with a pointless religious practice
i recall reading an interview with M,
she asked her what was her favorite “guilty”
pleasure to eat?
M replied, aside from “sweeties”
it was “veal with a raw goose egg on top of it”
DISGUSTING.
M decided to ban shooting on her Wiltshire estate
why did M make the decision to ban shooting?
M said it was because the very last time M went shooting,
M shot a bird and it had not taken the shot completely
M said she saw the bird on the ground, bloodied,
and screaming a sound M had never heard before,
M said it “devastated” her to see that “poor creature
flailing on the ground in such intense and awful pain…”
from that point on, M said she has forbidden
shooting at her Wiltshire estate
so…
M does have a moral compass in regards to animal life,
we all know M has a great moral compass when it deals
with helping to better human life
it’s just genuinely disappointing to hear that she chose to mark
such an important occasion with the flesh of tortured animals
there is a sad irony there, nothing more, nothing less
everytime i see a pic of M in her L14,000 YLS
hand laced italian leather boots, i think to myself,
wow…
M looks really great
then the very next thing that occurs to me is the cost of
those boots in terms of what it took, and the cruelty it took
to produce them
if you all like indulge the carnivore in you,
then that is your choice, if you like to indulge
the vegan in you , then that is your choice as well
if the human animal can’t respect
the other more vulnerable living entities in the world…
how can we respect one another..?
i hope M will come to this realization
one day soon…some day soon, and realize this point
time will tell…
for those of you who feel my point is pointless..
why even bother to validate it with your own opinion?
She is so rich! lol!
everything is luscious and extravagant with crytals and champange and cavier (ewww) O.o
Congrats Madge! Love ya so much!
andrew stick a fork in yourself because you are done.
save me the sanctimonious bullshit, ok? eat what you want and let others eat what they want. and for the record i eat ONE form of meat..chicken. dead cow makes me wretch.
the point is this, however…don’t try and tell others how to live their life and what they can and should do. live your life and worry about YOU. quit trying to tell me, madonna, or anyone else how they should live their life. there is a line, try not crossing it for once with your sanctimonious bullshit. thanks.
Shardy – it was her BD so let her eat meat if she wants to…unless you eat seeds all day stop being hypocritical by slamming others for their food choices
BTW – this “news” from the Daily Mirror = lies.
it sounded lovely,nice & private & personal
im glad she had a nice time.xxx
Yeah !! Exactly I agree with u “me” ***
They weren’t even there !!!
Anyway the Daily Mirror is full of crap and THIS is bullshit *
how can they know all this happened when they wasent at the party??
How about the effect being a vegatarian has on me and my body? I tried it and it didn’t work for me. I felt very weak, sick and unhealthy. I also gained weight because vegetarian food didn’t fill me up so I ate lots of snacks.
I think Madonna tried being a vegetarian, but it didn’t work for her.
If you want to be a vegetarian and it works for you, great. You have to the total right to live that way. But why do you want to force me and Madonna to live the same way you do?
Where is your tolerance? That’s why vegetarians and animal rights activists get a bad name, You are so self righteous and try to impose your way of living on everyone else. I don’t say you must eat meat, why do you want to tell me what I can and cannot eat?
Jesus. Shut up, whiney meat-eaters.
It’s a fact that eating lower on the food chain is better for the environment. Period.
I haven’t eaten meat in 13 years, and no, I don’t own any leather, so I presume that you two whiners up there won’t mind me telling you (and Madonna) to ditch the meat, since I am not a hypocrite, and this is not bullshit.
Try actually looking at the effects your lifestyle has on others for once.
I find it annoying when vegetarians try to force their point of view and lifestyle on other people. If you believe it’s wrong to eat animals, don’t eat them. But don’t make me live the same way you do.
Stella McCartney is very busy doing her fashion line. I”m sure she wishes Madonna a great birthday but was probably working late and didn’t have time to party.
food is food, get over it. if you have leather of any form on ANYTHING you own then i don’t want to hear your hypocritical BS. unless you eat NOTHING but twigs and berries then i don’t want to hear your hypocritical BS!
judging from this report,
it appears M had a truly great B-Day
but SERIOUSLY….
wagyu beef…and foie gras…?
it’s not necessary to dine of the products
of tortured animals to celebrate a milestone
yet, M wonders why Stella McCartney was a no-show
i appreciate M’s efforts to better the world,
and save and African village…
but to not respect all forms of life is bullshit
i don’t expect M to be perfect,
but i do expect M to at least be consistent
ah well…
