Just plain rude?

Musician James Morrison spoke out recently about the rudest popstar he'd ever met, going so far as to say, "She's just rude. There's no excuse for it." Can you guess who he was talking about?

That's right, James is referring to the Queen of Pop Madonna. This is how he tells the story, "I was recording in a studio in LA and she came in to speak to a producer and someone asked if I wanted to meet her. I'm not her biggest fan but thought I'd say hello so I went over and said: 'Hello, I'm James, nice to meet you," and put my hand out to shake hands. She just looked at it and said: 'And what do you do?' I told her I was a singer and she just stared at me and didn't say anything. It was really uncomfortable. Then she just ignored me. F**k her, though, it's just a matter of common courtesy. It doesn't matter what someone does for a living. She's just rude. There's no excuse for it."

Are you surprised that Madge was so rude or do you think as the reigning Queen of Pop she has the right to forfeit manners?
