    One of Madonna’s New York neighbors says the superstar’s loud music and frequent dance sessions are causing a commotion.
    Karen George, of Manhattan, lives above Madonna in a building on Central Park.
    She said in a lawsuit filed Friday against the building’s co-op board that the Material Girl is using her apartment as a rehearsal studio, forcing neighbors to endure “blaring music, stomping and shaking walls,” for up to three hours each day.
    George complained about “unreasonably high-decibel, amplified music” and vibrations pouring through walls, ceilings and radiators.
    The building’s board says it has already threatened to evict Madonna.
    Madonna’s representatives didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Madonna, U2 and AC/DC are among the finalists for the 2009 Billboard Touring Awards, which are based on global box-office numbers reported to Billboard Boxscore from October 1, 2008, through September 30, 2009.
    The awards will be presented at a November 5 reception in New York.

    The finalists for the Top Tour and Top Draw awards, which acknowledge the top-grossing and top-ticket-selling tours, respectively, are the same three global treks: U2's 360 tour, Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour, and AC/DC's Black Ice tour.
    The Top Package award goes to the top-grossing tour with three or more artists on the bill. Finalists include five-time winner Kenny Chesney for his Sun City Carnival tour with Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum, Sugarland and Montgomery Gentry on the bill; the Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009 with Jordin Sparks, Honor Society and Wonder Girls; and Nickelback for their Dark Horse tour, with Hinder, Papa Roach, and Saving Abel on board.

    The Breakthrough Award goes to the top-grossing artist in their first decade as a national headlining act. Four artists enjoyed touring breakthroughs this year: Lil Wayne, Taylor Swift, Kings of Leon, and Il Divo. Dane Cook, Robin Williams, and French & Saunders are finalists for the Top Comedy Tour.

    Finalists for the Top Boxscore award, which goes to the top-grossing single engagement for the time period, are U2 at Croke Park in Dublin, U2 at Stade de France in Paris, and the Oxegen fest at Punchestown Racecourse in Naas, Ireland. (source: Reuters)

    www.celebzweb.com has published some of the highlights from Madonna's new interview with Rolling Stone magazine that is out in US stores now: On her biggest hits: '
    I've never been a good judge of what things are going to be huge or not. The songs that I think are the most retarded songs I've written, like 'Cherish' and 'Sorry', a pretty big hit off my last album, end up being the biggest hits. 'Into the Groove' is another song I feel retarded singing, but everybody seems to like it.'
    On Lady GaGa:
    'I see myself in Lady Gaga. When I saw her, she didnt have a lot of money for her production. She's got holes in her fishnets, and there's mistakes everywhere. It was kind of a mess, but I can see that she has that IT Factor. It's nice to see that at a raw stage.'
    On Justin Timberlake:
    'Justin is a brilliant songwriter. I mean, 'What Goes Around....Comes Around?' Brilliant. I thought it would be a challenge to work with him. He's sort of a Cary Grant. I love him. I love working with him.'
    On who's turned her down:
    'I wanted to work with Eminem. I don't think he wanted to work with me. Maybe he's shy.'
    On her 80's hairstyles & looks: 'It's ok. It was the 80's. It was a bad haristyle era. Let's face it.'
    On growing up:
    'I was a geek in high school. I didn't really have a drink until my first divorce.'
    The biggest challenge of her career?:
    'Working on Evita. It's a whole different singing sensibility. I had to seriously work with a vocal coach.'
    On the first 3 concerts she saw:
    'My first show was David Bowie. My second show was Elton John. And my third was Bob Marley! Not bad, right?'
