Pierce Brosnan among fans at Paris Madonna concert

AFP - Irish actor Pierce Brosnan, star of Roman Polanski's "The Ghost Writer" and a former James Bond incarnation, was among some 2,700 fans cheering US pop icon Madonna at her Paris concert Thursday.
"We know her, my wife wanted to come so we bought tickets," Brosnan told AFP.
Brosnan was in Paris for "Love Punch," a film with Emma Thompson being shot in the French capital.
Madonna wrote and performed the title song for the 2002 Bond film "Die Another Day" in which Brosnan played the title role, with Halle Berry co-starring.
The singer was expected to be streaming her concert on YouTube live from Paris's Olympia hall, which seats 2,700 people.
France's far-right National Front said earlier this month it would sue Madonna over a video at an earlier concert in Paris showing party leader Marine Le Pen with a swastika on her forehead.
The video, which served as a backdrop for Madonna's performance of the song "Nobody Knows Me," flashed a picture of Le Pen's forehead superimposed with a swastika, followed by an image resembling Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
There was an audible gasp from the audience at the Stade de France on July 14 when the image of Le Pen appeared briefly on a giant screen in the video clip that also showed Madonna's face merging with a number of public figures, including Pope Benedict XVI and toppled Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.

Madonna's Paris Show 'Not Billed As Her Full MDNA Concert'
'She has done a handful of club dates in the past and they were never more than 45 minutes,' singer's press rep says.
By John Mitchell

An intimate show at Paris club l'Olympia that was intended to exude Madonna's love for France ended on a sour note Thursday when fans booed the pop star after she left the stage following a 45-minute performance.
The crowd also reportedly chanted "refund!" when the singer appeared to abruptly end the show following a performance of Serge Gainsbourg's "Je t'aime" and without an encore. The club show was a last-minute addition to Madonna's itinerary in Europe, where she is currently on her largely sold-out MDNA Tour.
Responding to the criticism, Madonna's press rep Liz Rosenberg said in a statement on Friday (July 27), "Madonna's Paris club show was planned as her heartfelt thank-you to France, which she expressed at the start of her show. Despite a grueling concert tour, she desperately wanted to perform for her fans in an intimate setting at the historic Olympia as a means to honor her love for French artists, French cinema and a tribute to France's long history of welcoming and inspiring artists, authors, painters, poets and minorities from other countries over the years."
Regarding the brevity of the performance, Rosenberg said that the Paris show was in line, time-wise, with past club shows from the pop icon.
"The show was not billed as her full MDNA concert and tremendous effort was made to keep the ticket prices reasonable ($100 for 2,000 floor seats) and keep them strictly for her fans," Rosenberg continued. "The show cost Madonna close to a million dollars to produce. She has done a handful of club dates in the past and they were never more than 45 minutes. And by the way, she put on a fabulous show, which was streamed for millions of fans around the world."
Madonna is currently facing threats of legal action in France from Marine Le Pen and the country's far-right National Front party over a video interlude shown during her MDNA concerts that features an image of the conservative party leader with a swastika superimposed on her forehead. She addressed the row with Le Pen during her club show, telling the crowd, "I know that I have made a certain Marine Le Pen very angry with me. It's not my intention to make enemies. ... If we don't learn from history, we will just repeat it. So the next time you want to point the finger at somebody and blame them for the problems in your life, take that finger and point it back at you."

Madonna praises France, 'knows made Le Pen angry'
By AFP | AFP – 27/07/2012

US pop queen Madonna praised France for its tolerance and welcoming attitude to minorities and said she knew far-right leader Marine Le Pen was "very angry with me" over a provocative video.
"I know that I have made a certain Marine Le Pen very angry with me. It's not my intention to make enemies," Madonna told 2,700 fans at a sell-out concert at the Olympia hall in Paris on Thursday.
France's far-right National Front said earlier this month it would sue the singer over a video at an earlier Paris concert showing party leader Le Pen with a swastika on her forehead.
The video, which served as a backdrop for Madonna's performance of the song "Nobody Knows Me," flashed a picture of Le Pen's forehead superimposed with a swastika, followed by an image resembling Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
Madonna went on to praise France for its tolerance and the welcome it had extended to black entertainers.
"Before the civil rights in America, African American artists were not allowed to perform in America ... but France opened their arms to them, Josephine Baker, Charlie Parker ... people of colour, people with difference, minorities felt welcome in France," she said.
"If we don't learn from history we will just repeat it. So the next time you want to point the finger at somebody and blame them for the problems in your life take that finger and point it back at you."
Irish actor Pierce Brosnan, star of Roman Polanski's "The Ghost Writer" and a former James Bond incarnation, was among the fans cheering the US pop icon.
"We know her, my wife wanted to come so we bought tickets," Brosnan told AFP.
Brosnan was in Paris for "Love Punch," a film with Emma Thompson being shot in the French capital.
Madonna wrote and performed the title song for the 2002 Bond film "Die Another Day" starring Brosnan and Halle Berry.
The singer performed for just an hour at the Olympia hall, drawing boos when the curtain went down.
