Madonna Settles Lawsuit Over Noisy Apartment
by Associated Press | ??? 01, 2011 10:45 EST
Madonna has made peace with a neighbor who said the superstar made noise by
using her New York City apartment as a rehearsal studio, lawyers involved in
the matter said Wednesday.
Court records showed Karen George's lawsuit against the singer and their
building was settled as of Wednesday. Lawyers for Madonna and the building's
co-op board would say only the matter was resolved. George's attorney didn't
immediately return a call.
George, whose apartment is upstairs from Madonna's in a building overlooking
Central Park, had said the dance and exercise routines subjected neighbors to
"blaring music, stomping and shaking walls" for up to three hours a day.
George was driven from her apartment at times by the "unbearable" noise and
vibrations, according to her lawsuit, filed in 2009. It sought unspecified
damages.
Madonna took steps to dampen the sound in 2009, but George said they didn't
work, according to an August court ruling that turned down the singer's
effort to dismiss the lawsuit. George had said the building board
acknowledged her complaints but ultimately didn't crack down because it
didn't want trouble with Madonna.
Madonna and the board had said the noise never topped legal levels. The
singer also said this March she'd built a studio elsewhere and wasn't using
the apartment for musical moves anymore.
Madonna moved into the building after she was rejected in 1985 by the board
at another ritzy Manhattan co-op, the San Remo, where U2 frontman Bono has an
apartment.

Madonna to Take a Seat on 'Graham Norton Show'
by Phil Gallo, L.A. | ??? 01, 2011 3:30 EST
Madonna will make a rare talk show appearance, discussing her upcoming film
"W.E." on the "Graham Norton Show" on Jan. 14. The program airs in the U.K.
on the BBC and in the U.S. on BBC America.
Madonna and her two lead actors, Andrea Riseborough and James D'Arcy, will
discuss "W.E.," the drama she directed about the love affair between King
Edward VIII and American divorcée Wallis Simpson.
The film will open for a one-week awards-qualifying run on Dec. 9 and then
open nationally on Feb. 3. The new release date is intended to capitalize on
her rumored Super Bowl halftime performance and new album. The Weinstein Co.
is releasing the film.
Starting Dec. 10, BBC America will air "Graham Norton" less than 24 hours
after the U.K. broadcast. Norton is also the star of BBC America's first
original comedy, "Would You Rather?" that premieres Dec. 3. Based on British
panel-style shows, Norton will ask comedians and celebrities to discuss
ridiculous predicaments and moral quandaries.
