There’s a reason why Madonna skimmed over why she and Michael Jackson fell off years ago during her VMA tribute: She used to trash him in the press.

While neither has spoken of each other in years, Dateline recently interviewed the King of Pop’s longtime friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach about the taped conversations he recorded with Jackson – which included his thoughts on Madonna.

As you can see the from the posted video clip, “nasty witch” doesn’t suggest Mike was all that fond of her.

More details from the Rabbi’s book have come forward and Michael reportedly claimed that Madonna was in love with him.

He said:  ”I think she was sincerely in love with me and I was not in love with her. She did a lot of crazy things. I knew we had nothing in common.”

With respect to the King, that sounds about as nutty as the idea of Madonna bringing Michael into a strip club.

Nevertheless he didn’t think she was his type, adding: “She is not sexy at all. I think sexy comes from the heart in the way you present yourself.”

If this video were shot in the late 1980s a dance off between angry Michael Jackson and Madonna fans might have ensued.

If released in the early to mid 1990s I don’t doubt that fans of both Mike and Madge would be on the chat lines arguing back-and-forth.

But in 2009 where Michael Jackson is dead and Madonna just paid tribute to him, I’m sure most are willing to look at comments made eight or so years ago and let bygones be bygones.

Team Beyonce is facing legal action from a former Project Runway contestant who helped design the singer’s costumes for her I…Am tour.

E Online reports that Chris March, who was the third runner-up in the fourth season of the  reality TV show, is suing Beyonce’s costume designers Thierry Mugler and Tancrede Prinz. March claims he was hired to act as the head of costume’s and was promised $43,500 for stage outfits he helped make for the global tour, but never saw a dime.

We know Bey can pay her bills, but her people need to get it together and straighten this out.

Tough, Crowd

In Romania, Madonna got booed at her own concert when she spoke out about the discrimination towards Romany people in eastern Europe.

According to the AP, the singer paused during the middle of her concert to address the 600,000 crowd that came to see her perform: “It has been brought to my attention, that there is a lot of discrimination against Romanies and Gypsies in general in Eastern Europe – it made me feel very sad,” she said. “We don’t believe in discrimination, we believe in freedom and equal rights for everyone.”

Madonna uses a group of Roma musicians on her Sticky and Sweet tour so good for her for speaking on it! She received even more jeers when she mentioned prejudice against homosexuals and others, but appeared unfazed by the reaction.

Public Affair

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz were spotted having a cozy dinner in St. Tropez this week.  The two have previously kept their relationship under wraps but have recently been hinting about time together on Twitter and went to Jennifer Lopez’s birthday party together last month.

Looks like they’re finally getting comfortable being public. Cute couple, but as you may recall Swizzy and his wife Mashonda filed for divorce last year and word on the streets was that Alicia was the home wrecker (although he denies that’s the case, of course). Hopefully history doesn’t repeat itself!

OK, so we’re just fanning the fires here, but what if Madonna, Kanye and Amber Rose had some sort of Wild Things like fun here?

They certainly look booed up and cozy in this photo, where the three of them were squeezed up and looking very … shall we say, Video Phone-ish? It’s a well documented blog favorite that Ye’s chick likes chicks (and even at 50+, Madge is still up for anything, right?), so maybe this isn’t all that far fetched? She posted this trio-riffic picture on her twitter page.

A-Rod’s marriage just took a curveball and the New York Yankees slugger is caught looking at home.

Rodriguez’s wife, Cynthia, reportedly left the third baseman for musician Lenny Kravitz.

Bummy looking Lenny Kravitz or pretty boy Alex Rodriguez?

Seems like a no brainer, but not to Cynthia.

And Lenny wants no part of the rumors:

“Cynthia is a friend and is here with the godfather of her baby, who is also Alex’s trainer, his wife and their baby girl. She came here to escape from everything happening in New York City,” he said. “I opened my home to her as a friend and I find it extremely hurtful that I am now being referred to as an adulterer.”

Meanwhile, A-Rod has been linked to Madonna, who is old enough to be A-Rod’s mom.

And who says baseball is boring?
