Madonna Plays at l'Olympia in Paris

PARIS (Reuters) - Pop star Madonna treated fans to an intimate show at Paris' famed Olympia theatre on Thursday, voicing her love for a France that is open to minorities and artists and reinterpreting "Je t'aime moi non plus," a song laced with sexual innuendo.

The concert was short, and many fans were not pleased that the surprise performance was so brief. * Fans were disappointed that the intimate performance was so brief ; Madonna was 45 minutes late to take the stage, and then she only played for 45 minutes.

Madonna, who has always had a forceful personality, could have done better at being softer to her intimate audience last night. And her fans could have also diffused the tension by being a little more compassionate and grateful : the were after all serving witness to a historic concert performance by Madonna at l'Olympia.

''National Front spokesman Alain Vizier told the AP that the party is planning to file a complaint in the French court next week for these 'insults,' '' reported The Daily News.

Madonna's Concert Stade de France : Marine Le Pen's Swastika Scandal

Madonna was all the talk of Paris, even before the city's huge Bastille Day festival. The Queen of Pop was giving a concert in the grand Stade de France just north of Paris, and the paparazzi were in full force, describing Madonna as exhausted and tired. But tonight, she put on a fabulous show, our sources tell us, as demonstrated this insider's photo (above). Madonna is still the epitome of glamour and style.

Madonna created a scandal (as usual) by projecting an image of the right-wing politician, Marine Le Pen, bearing a swastika on her forehead. Madonna had first aired the controversial image of Ms. Le Pen in Tel Aviv on May 31. After the image's debut, Ms. Le Pen shot back by describing Madonna as being one of the "old singers," who go to extremes for publicity. But last month, Ms. Le Pen escalated her rhetoric and threatened to sue the Material Girl if the controversial image was not removed from the montage of images and video as part of Madonna's concert. No word, yet, on Ms. Le Pen's reaction to the use of the image at le Stade de France.
