Material Girl’ singer Madonna landed herself a ticket during a night out after she parked her car on a double yellow line in Mayfair. Madonna, 51, had organised a thank you party for her tour dancers, which started with dinner at the exclusive Supperclub in Notting Hill and moved on to Aura nightclub, reports the Sun. She is said to have racked up a 10,000-pound bar bill by ordering Cristal champagne, with lit sparklers attached, and shots while her entourage held dance offs. And when she left the nightclub, she was shocked to find a ticket for 120 pounds on the black car.
She blasted a Malawi judge for sentencing a couple to 14 years of hard labour in prison for homosexuality. Madonna, 51, who was shaken by the conviction and harsh sentencing of Tiwonge Chimbalanga, 20, and Steven Monjeza, 26, expressed her shock and disappointment. ”I am shocked and saddened by the decision made by the Malawian court, which sent two innocent men to prison,” the New York Daily News quoted her as saying in a statement posted on her website on May 21. ”Malawi took a giant step backward. The world is filled with pain and suffering; therefore, we must support out basic human right to love and be loved. ”I call upon the progressive men and women of Malawi — and around the world — to challenge this decision in the name of human dignity and equal rights for all,” she said. The two men were arrested under Malawi law after throwing an engagement party at the hotel where Chimbalanga worked. The duo was taken into custody on December 27, convicted on May 18, and sentenced on May 20 to the maximum term. Their lawyer said the two men will appeal against the conviction.
