Niki Haris on Madonna
…why the fallout? Diva drama?
“Maybe there was some drama, but I didn’t buy into it. We were sisters for years,” says Haris. “At the end of the day, really she [Madonna] is a gem and I’m so grateful.”
“She threw my baby shower for me!” adds Haris, who gave birth to her daughter in 2003. It was shortly thereafter that Madonna launched her Re-Invention Tour, the first time she staged a show without Haris in over 15 years.
“People can talk all the crap they want, but we both knew by that last tour [Drowned World, 2001],” says Haris. “I had broken my legs, learned how to walk again, how to dance again, and did that tour with really bad injuries. It was okay, but painful. Now, I was 41 and pregnant. … Of course, my ego was involved: ’Oh, she don’t want me no more!’ But at the end of the day, she gave me the greatest gift. Because of her, I got to spend every freaking day with my kid, doing the music I love to do. I’m close to ’the family’ still. She knows I love her and she loves me.”
Coincidentally, Madonna’s last two tours have featured similarly named singer Nicki Richards as a backing vocalist. Haris doesn’t mind.
“She can get Niki Two, if she wants to,” she chuckles.

Madonna took a nasty spill while horseback riding in the Hamptons this afternoon.
The 50-year-old pop icon, decked out in full riding gear and helmet, was doing jumps at famed photographer Steven Klein’s horse farm in Bridgehampton when she fell around 4:20 p.m.
After the fall, about 10 people, including 22-year-old boy toy Jesus Luz, nervously gathered around her before emergency workers arrived.
She was carried into an ambulance on a backboard and rushed to Southampton Hospital with Klein by her side.
A police source said the injuries did not appear serious and she was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons.
The Material Mom’s day began when she and her sons Rocco, 8, and David, 3, took a helicopter from Manhattan and landed at East Hampton airport around 2p.m.
She then went straight to Klein’s compound for what should have been a relaxing day in the sun.
Some of her luggage was taken to actress and good friend’s Gwyneth Paltrow nearby home.
OH SHIT!…I HOPE IT DIDNT KNOCK ONE OF HER CHEEK IMPLANTS LOOSE!
don’t worry the cheeks are really fixed there…..i can’t say the same about your brain.
I love every note M sings….every breath she takes…shes the queen of the universe…….
id follow her into the fiery pits of hell…happy happy sunshine to everyone…gum drops and rainbows to all…
does anyone still think M hasnt had any plastic surgery?

What the f#!k? When was that photo taken?…
in 1992, at liz taylor’s bday bash…let’s consider the make up style….
Madonna is over. She’s a huge disappointment now. I used to be a fan, not anymore, not for a long time now. yeah, yeah, I’ll be listening to her old tunes aka 80’s-03′ for me and that’s it.
She’s an object of a joke nowadays, go on hoe shag that Jesus kid, inject that shit into your face, buy yourself some ugly Malawi child and what so on.
different make up, lighting is horrid, yea even i can say bad shot ( circa 1992 )-ish
circa 1992,with that said, horrid lighting, bad make up, yea even i can say this shot isn’t great…still plastic surgery these days…NO WAY :) ive seen too many 3200 hundred pixel shots , and you can just tell nothing has been done..she’s just a woman who is getting older , using the best make up , the best photographers and staying fit..she will always be beautiful, nate :)
come on Nate….I can see the work she has had done through the bottom of a dirty glass!
So what?
she has frato…..she has …..and….
let´s face it, all of m´s background singers have better voices than madonna.
I mean M didn´t get famous for singing. Madonna is famous for controversity, videos……
farto i think you need a pussy… get a life, how long you’ll spent time on a madonna fansite? you don’t have a job? whats going on motherfucker??
YOUR ASS IS ON HERE JUST AS MUCH!…….SUCK IT SUPERSTAR!..DONT BE A HATER JUST BECUASE NO ONE WANTS YOUR PUSSY!
What’s your problem Farto ?
You are such a fucking jerk
estamos FARTO de voce… hehehe
Johns dead Yoko….move on.
its so pathetic how no one on this site has any wit, or sense of humor and sarcasm….if it reads angry, I suggest you look at your own anger issues……stop reflecting your shit on me.
In the paper today….Madonna and Jesus are in upstate New York this weekend for a romantic getaway…fartin it up!
Now that I think about it..I hope this isnt the weekend when M will suck out all Jesus life force leaving him another empty shell of a zombie…..she’ll do anything to keep her body young.
Farto – you always sound so angry and bitter – I think you need to get fucked and not just once.
lol……ok Mike…..lol……you know a real man?
SUCK IT MIKE!….big pussy.
@ NATE: nate has fucked yesterday with the damn beautiful german chancellor angela merkel…
niki & madonna – a graet team, i wish she’ll come back @ the next tours…
:) :) nothing but love for madonna, and im so glad madonna’s back up girl nikki is doing better !!!!!
Do you have nothing in your OWN life which could bring you such joy you claim to feel at Niki’s kind words about Grannydonna. You must be terrified to look in the mirror and see yourself looking back. I’m truly sorry for you.
who are you talking too ????
Niki has an AWESOME voice. Ever hear her sing at Agape in L.A.? She’s incredible and seems so sweet. She obviously made a good living working with Madonna but Niki’s work is so different and so much deeper than Madonna’s. Not a big star but her talent far outshines Madonna’s. I’d love to know what she was thinking all those years, hearing Madonna squeak out those songs on stage.
remember after the Blonde Ambition tour how all her backup dancers try to sue M?……they wanted more money etc..thats why you never hear a word from anyone involved anymore. Iron clad confidentiality agreement.
They wanted more money for appearing in Truth or Dare.
Really?? They wanted to sue her? For what (for appearing in ToD? Hmm it seems interesting…where can i get info about that?? :)
I just bought a ticket for 3 grand to see Madonna in Russia this summer!
wow, that’s alot of money..i’ve seen the show, it’s totally worth it …have fun !!!!!
Does anyone know what Niki and Madonnas falling out was over? I have read that Niki had said some negative things about M to the press…anyone know details?
@ Francisco Mariano April 17, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Funny because why is that show listed a SOLD OUT then??? If she only sold 2000 tickets they would sure cancel it and not list it as sold out. So the person who gave you that info is full of shit.
ARE YOU REALLY SO NAIVE THAT YOU BELIEVE EVERY LITTLE THING THAT IS REPORTED IS TRUE? IF THAT WERE THE CASE MADONNA’S LAST ALBUM WOULD HAVE BEEN A GEM INSTEAD OF THE BUCKET OF PIG SWILL IT WAS.YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY DISTURBED AND SEEM TO THINK THAT EVERYONE IS PLOTTING AGAINST MADONNA. WHY ON EARTH WOULD THE FUCKING EMPLOYEE LIE? I CAN TELL YOU WHY IT WAS LISTED AS SOLD OUT.HER MANAGEMENT WANT TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION TO GULLIBLE TWITS (LIKE YOU)THAT SHE IS STILL POPULAR AND SUCCESSFUL BUT FACE IT SHE IS LAST CENTURY’S NEWS.PS. WHAT DID FATHER CHRISTMAS GIVE YOU LAST YEAR?
Is it me or does anyone else feel that G. Paltrow is a real big fake snob douchebag?
MADONNA LET NIKI HARIS GO BECUASE SHE GOT FAT….TOTALLY TRUE.
It would have been cool to have a big fat “weather girl” singing back up for madonna.
niki’s probably thinking, “girl, you is one freaky white chick. look at chu! you’se look like a piece of beef jerky done gone bad. all white and veiny. you done look like my aunt thelma’s lame ass attempt at cookin’ chicken. eat suttin’ for christ’s sakes. who the hell in their freakin’ right mind would wanna fuck you looking like dat? might as well tie some coat hangers together and lay top o’ dem to get yo’ rocks off. someone stick their dick in you, dat thing would just come out your asshole. ain’t nuttin’ in between. shit girl, you’se gonna come wit me to my cousin nonnie’s house for a plate of fried chicken and waffles. and you ain’t leavin with out a second helpin. damn.”
(no doubt)
AHHHHHHH EDDIES BACK!…BRAVO MY FRIEND!!…….LOLLLLLLLLL…..U from down south babe?…..cuz yuz gotz da lingo!
You’re wrong. Niki has always been a little thick and so is her new backup singer. Where do you get ur info?
Niki has always been quite a bit bigger
around than Madonna and it’s not fat.
If it were because niki was too big,
Madonna would have let her go before
now. A lot of people actually think Niki
is better built than Madonna. Niki is
definitely curvier, though Madonna has
never been anything shabby.
be nice .. :)
I WAS TOLD TODAY BY ONE OF THE BOX OFFICE EMPLOYEES AT THE MEN ARENA THAT TICKET SALES FOR MADONNAS 8TH JULY CONCERT WERE DISASTROUS.LESS THAN 2000 TICKETS WERE SOLD FOR A 2O,000 CAPACITY ARENA.EVEN MEGA-PENSIONER TINA TURNER MANAGED TO SELL OUT FOUR NIGHTS AND THE RAVISHING EVER-YOUTHFUL KYLIE MINOGUE ALWAYS PLAYS THREE OR FOUR NIGHTS THERE TO CAPACITY CROWDS.HEADS WILL ROLL AT LIVE NATION BECAUSE OF THE
CALAMITOUS DECISION TO SIGN MADONNA JUST AS HER CAREER WAS ENDING.DIDN’T ANYONE THERE LISTEN TO THE
ATROCIOUS”HARD CANDY”? ANYWAY MADONNA COULD ALWAYS TRY AND RESURRECT HER”ACTING” CAREER,I HEAR THEY’RE REMAKING”DRIVING MISS DAISY”.
another mariah psyco or a Shitney fan,,,ok maybe u could try and do something with ur life F++++g looser : )
are you hot Francisco?
wow that’s nice that your trying to get a date !!!!!!!!! good luck !!!!
Im a horny bastard!
You are such a crap!
And all you’ve got is a grimy keypad to — all over. I’d call you grotesque and deranged but I guess you’re sick of hearing that…
ewwwwwwwwww its ANITA!…run!
EAT IT ANITA!
LOL Farto = Gladys
you really need a life Farto the low life pig…
mind your business twat.
It must really suck when you are a back up singer and you know that you can sing 1000 better than the star….!
“STAR QUALITY” IS NOT FOR EVERYONE…
MADONNA RULES…..
Nikki could always out-sing Madonna.I thought I had read something about Madonna trying to tone down Niki’s voice during concerts. I think there’s something about that in Chris Ciccone’s book about his sister.
madonna had a dinner yesterday with marc jacob and his husband.www.madonnaonline.com.br
You really should get out more. It’s so pathetic and sad that you seem to obsess about the minutiae of someone else’s life.Does anyone on this earth truly care if Madonna had dinner with those people(no,I’ve never heard of them either).
u certainly care cause if u would not u would not be leaving ur post !!! don´t be a hypocrit!!!
let’s inform the poor guy (paul)
Madonna is the ultimate uber-entertainer
Mark jacobs is ‘the man’ at L. Vuitton
AND YOU ARE NOTHING AND SHOULD GO BACK TO YOUR SHELL..
You really should get out more. It’s so pathetic and sad that you seem to obsess about the minutiae of someone else’s life.Does anyone on this earth truly care if Jonas made a post? (no,I’ve never heard of him either).
(okay, i hope i get this straight:
1. jonas makes a comment
2. paul makes a comment about jonas’ comment inferring that jonas is in a pathetic and sad state for follwing the minutiae (paul’s word, not mine) of madonna’s life.
3. eddie comes along and makes a comment about paul’s comment inferring that paul is in a sad and pathetic state for following the minutiae of jonas’ life.
4. who will come and comment on my comment that i commented on while i was commenting…
That just gave me a brain fart!
Exactly, I agree with Leslave. If you are so less pathetic than us, then you shouldn’t be wasting your timing commenting or being on this site. What brings you to this site, esp the news section? What check out what Madonna is up to! Such a hypocrite!
to think that she trashed madonna a lot years ago…how humble she is now to admit she was wrong TOO.
M should hire her back for this summer…
I love NiKKI Harris!!; she have an amazing voice!!!.
The truth that we never read before.
FIRST!!!!!!!!
Get a life!
LOL….whats wrong Anita?..hair still getting thinner?
