If Madonna's publicist says jump, don't even bother asking how high. At a Material Girl launch party last week, reporters were allowed to ask three questions to Madonna and daughter Lourdes, and all had to be fashion related. One reporter broke the rules by inquiring about the status of a celebrity marriage and promptly had the microphone knocked out of her hand by the Queen of Pop's long-time publicist Liz Rosenberg. Yeesh! If we could borrow a Rosenberg of our own for getting past all the surly people on the subway, we'd probably end up with an entire train car to ourselves. [NY Post]
