    Madonna posted a note on her website about the drama that surrounded last week's show in France.

    She blamed the nonsense, which included "fans" pelting the Material Girl with bottles, on thugs, not her real fans.

    Below is the text of her statement:

    "Playing the Olympia was a magical moment for me and it was real treat to do this special show for my fans and be so close to them. Unfortunately at the end of the show - after I left the stage - a few thugs who were not my fans rushed the stage and started throwing plastic bottles pretending to be angry fans. The press reports have focused on this and not the joyous aspect of the evening. But nothing can take away or ruin this very special evening for me and my fans. When I looked out in the audience, everyone I saw had a smile on their face. I look forward to having this wonderful experience again."

    Wow, Madge really knows how to put spin on things! She turned that rotten lemon into a frosty, refreshing glass of lemonade. Maybe she shouldn't have charged so much for a short concert. Just sayin'.
