While in Venice promoting her film W.E. at the Venice Film Festival, Madonna was asked by Belgian newspaper Le Soir, what her thoughts are on Lady Gaga's perception (copying) of her.
In W.E., you're shooting the romance of Wallis Simpson through the
eyes of a modern admiring young woman, Wally. We could see the
perception your fans have about you. Even of Lady Gaga?
Madonna: Of my fans? Say what interests me with the perception of Wally, is to arrive to break the truth about Wallis Simpson. And realize that nothing is all white or all black. True or False. Life is gray. And you can not put someone in a box. As for Lady Gaga, I have no comment on her obsessions related to me, because I do not know if it is based on something profound or superficial.

Ouch!! Sounds like Madonna is trying to be diplomatic while simultaneously letting the world know she is aware of Stefani's theft and copying and it hasn't gone unnoticed and it's not welcome, not in the least. How's that Stefani, coming from the woman you say you idolize?
We also heard that after the Born This Way/Express Yourself rip off fiasco, Stefani claimed that she received an email from Madonna's camp giving her full support. We also know the truth, and the truth is Madonna and her publicist confirmed that no such email was sent.

On another note, Madonna made herself look ungrateful after the mic caught her say how she loathes hydrangeas after she was given the flowers at the press conference at the Venice Film Festival.
Before we all throw stones at Madonna for her remarks, let's keep in mind that this happened during the press conference and fans are not allowed in at press conferences. This easily could have been a tabloid reporter who knows that Madonna only likes white Lillie's. I even know that and I'm just a blogger who happens to be a fan. She may have been set up to look bad. Madonna's never been one to hold back and my guess is that she puts her foot in her mouth often. Madonna's fans were waiting for her outside the press conference and she graciously signed autographs for them after the conference. There is footage of this on YouTube
