Madge's Stage Fine
Singer punished for breaking curfew
Pop superstar MADONNA has been fined US$249,750 by Wembley Stadium officials for breaking the venue's curfew during the London stop of her Sticky & Sweet world tour earlier this month.
The Material Girl's show overran the 10.30pm curfew by 40 minutes when she played there on 11 September - her only date in the UK.
And she has now been charged US$92,500 for every 15 minutes she overstayed her welcome.
A Wembley Stadium source says, "The concert was meant to start at 8.30pm but Madonna didn't come on stage until 9.10pm. The gig ended at 11.10pm so she was quite a bit over.
"Her people knew about the possible implications for going over the curfew but this is a pretty hefty fine, even for Madonna."

With a back drop of a 50ft Britney Spears, the re-invention queen and mother-of-three commanded the stage for more than two hours as part of her Sticky And Sweet world tour, which is hitting 37 venues in just under four months.
