Madonna is more important than you

embers of the posh Upper West Side Reebok Sports Club are pissed the gym is giving member Madonna special treatment. Page Six says:

. . . members were furious after club staff "closed off a row of six treadmills" in anticipation of her arrival. The tipster added that those working out in group exercise rooms are even forced to sweat in "blackened-out rooms," making "two floors of the gym look like a prison with shuttered gates" so that nobody can catch a glimpse of her Madgesty.

Of course the gym closes off areas for Madonna -- she can't be distracted while doing her squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. There's world records to be set dammit! Oh, and the management didn't blackout the exercise room for privacy -- it was more for the protection and wellbeing of the other gym-goers. I for one certainly don't want to see a 65-year-old jumping around to heart-pounding music and getting all hot and sweaty. Of course when I'm home alone and in the comfort of my computer room with the soothing feeling of Jergens by my side, that's a different story . . . anyone know when Golden Girls comes on today?
