IT’S NOT easy being "misunderstood on a global level", as Madonna remarked to a reporter over the weekend at the London premiere of her movie "W.E.".
The pop icon-turned-director was actually speaking about identifying with the heroine of her film, Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor.
But she was having her own local misunderstandings just as she was talking:
Fans who had waited for hours to see Madonna were apparently angry that she didn’t spend more time on the red carpet.
They booed her.
Well, I’ve seen the crowd boo stars who stood twenty minutes outside — because they always want more, more, more. (Apparently, five fans out of several thousand were annoyed. As our London source tells us: "They were totally hysterical for her, in a good way!")
The atmosphere was friendlier in the theater.
"W.E." received a standing ovation, and the audience — perhaps because they were Brits — seemed to pay keener, appreciative attention to the film, rather than dismiss it out of hand because of Madonna’s involvement.
Madonna looked glamorous and appropriate in black velvet.
