Madonna think Kanye West should kindly take a seat. Speaking to Rolling Stone, the singer said that she felt Kanye West’s awards show outbursts have been misguided, likening the search for justice at the Grammys to “trying to find a needle in a haystack.” She advised West to “Just go and have fun,” adding that she believes the rapper and producer takes things “too seriously.” West, who co-produced several tracks on Madonna’s next album, Rebel Heart, was recently in the news for his faux-interruption of Beck’s acceptance speech at the Grammys, where he was the recipient of the Best New Album trophy for his Morning Phase. Kanye feigned a repeat of the incident at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, when he interrupted Taylor Swift’s Best Female Video acceptance speech, taking the microphone out of the singer’s hand in the process. In both cases, he was urging the awards committees to give the title to work of Beyonce’s.

Madonna was horse collared and yanked off a riser onto a stage feet below … all at the hands of a backup dancer.
The singer was performing Wednesday night at the Brit Awards in London, wearing an Armani cape with her back to the audience. The plan was for the backup dancer to dramatically pull the cape off of her as she revealed a sparkly outfit.
But before the pull Madonna was supposed to untie the cape strap around her neck. It was tied too tight and before it could be undone the backup dancer did his thing, pulling Madonna backwards neck first onto the stage.
