Madonna Facing Lawsuit Over Swastika Use in France

  •  Madonna took her shock antics to Paris over the weekend, flashing a nipple and a crack for her French fans and seriously offending one far-right politician. Despite threats of legal action, the singer performed her song "Nobody Knows Me" before a video-montage that included a shot of Front National party leader Marine Le Pen with a swastika emblazoned on her forehead. Also featured in the visual slambook were Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, Pope Benedict, and Sarah Palin.

  •  Madonna's ample bosom is the star of the show in her new music video for "Turn Up the Radio." There's really nothing memorable about the latest video, which features breakdance challenges and convertible parties with hot men.

  •  The chestiest couple in the entertainment business is officially kaput. Katy Perry and Russell Brand's 14-month marriage was officially dissolved on Monday, six months after the pair reached an agreement as per California law. Katy has since been spotted with male model Baptiste Giabiconi and guitarist Robert Ackroyd, while Russell has been macking on ladies in his yoga classes and maybe throwing phones at photographers.

  •  What would have been a legendary night in rock 'n' roll was cut short by the organizers of the Hard Rock Calling Festival. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band were joined by Paul McCartney for a few tunes during their headlining gig on Saturday night, but organizers cut the power to the stars' microphones just as they launched into a rendition of the Beatles classic "Twist and Shout."

  •  Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have been spending a lot of time together for two superstars who are supposedly on the rocks. Hollywood Life reports that the two shared a PDA-heavy dinner date at Melbourne, Australia hotspot Stokehouse. Perhaps more interesting: The squeaky-clean teens enjoyed some alcohol! But before you clutch your pearls, remember the drinking age in Australia is 18.

  •  Marilyn Manson is thinking about becoming someone's dad. The rocker told the UK's Observer, "I've started to think that maybe I wouldn't mind passing my demented genius on to some small thing who can set fire and breathe profanity.

  •  The most beautiful song you'll hear today is The xx's new single "Angels," the first off their upcoming album Coexist.

A lawyer for the Front National party told the Associated Press that they will file a complaint in the French court over the "insults."

Marine Le Pen has been accused of anti-Semitism and racism, particularly over comments she made in 2010 likening the blocking of public streets and squares for Muslim prayer to an occupation of French territory.

In May, when Madonna debuted the controversial video montage in Tel Aviv, Marine Le Pen sniped, "We understand how old singers who need to get people talking about them go to such extremes."

Madonna's still working overtime to shock everyone's socks off, but she might have to pay for it soon. She's going to get hit with a lawsuit, or so says a controversial French politician. Also in music news, Katy Perry is officially a single lady, Bruce Springsteen is not the boss of Live Nation, and you can go on believing in love since Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are still going strong.

Paid Attention to Celebs' Most Ridiculous Backstage Demands(Party Two)

Celebs' Most Ridiculous Backstage Demands
When you're rich and famous, you can not only get away with everything, you can GET everything.

Mary J. Blige
Nobody likes a dirty toilet, but Mary J. Blige isn't taking any chances when she's on tour. Blige requires that each venue install a brand new toilet seat in the dressing room before she arrives. And while Mary's doing her business on the new seat, she expects privacy, which is why she has a "Do Not Disturb" sign punctuated with 26 exclamation points.

Rihanna
Rihanna has quite the checklist for her dressing room furnishings. Her couch has to be "wide enough for her to stretch out on and sometimes take a nap." She needs "6-8 throw pillows for couches – animal print (cheetah, leopard) (NO sequins). And her large throw rug "must be CLEAN, as she will walk on it barefoot."

Van Halen
Van Halen is arguably the group responsible for the public's interest in outlandish backstage riders after they famously demanded a bowl of M&Ms with all the brown ones removed. For years, people assumed this was just another example of rock excess and arrogance, but the band maintains they included the stipulation to see if promoters actually read the rider. If brown M&Ms were in the bowl, then how could they trust the gear or sound levels met their specifications?

Foo Fighters
In homage to the rock gods who preceded them, the Foo Fighters decided to have some fun with their 2008 rider, which is peppered with jokes about "fat roadies," farts, and Johnny Depp's butt. The band continued the hilarious trend in 2011, this time providing an illustration of appropriate meals. (Note: Sandwich with a side of rocks = lame, steak and baked potato = awesome.)

Lady Gaga
For having such an over-the-top image, Lady Gaga keeps her rider requests pretty tame. She does insist on having a whole roasted chicken backstage, and if there's going to be cheese, it's gotta be "non-smelly, non-sweaty, [and] ON ICE."

Adele
Adele balances her demands with philanthropy. According to her rider, any fan or journalist receiving free tickets to her show is required to donate $20 to a charity of her choosing. As for what the British powerhouse wants on her tour bus, only the "very best quality red wine" and "best quality European lager beer." Better not confuse the "European" part. Adele adds "North American beer is NOT acceptable." Come on, Adele, it's not all Budweiser and Coors. This is the land of microbrews!

Sarah Palin
When Sarah Palin is raking in six figures on her public speaking rounds, her travel requirements set the bar pretty high. If Palin isn't booked in first class, then a private jet is the only other option, and not just any old jet either. The "private aircraft MUST BE a Lear 60 or larger.

Pauly D
It's safe to say without Jersey Shore, Paul "DJ Pauly D" DelVecchio would not be pulling in tens of thousands of dollars to spin at various nightclubs. Yet Pauly's rider states, "ABSOLUTELY NO use of MTV name/logo and Jersey Shore logo in any and all promotional materials" under the penalty of "immediate cancellation... and forfeiture of deposit."

Cher
Cher's hair needs its own room. According to the singer's rider, there is to be an entire room devoted solely to her wig collection. And you won't see Cher wearing one of those laminated backstage passes around her neck. She simply refuses. Also, the diva has something against Kendall Jackson — it's the only wine she does not allow in her dressing room.
