A spokesperson for Madonna has denied she "laughed hysterically" after hearing news of poor ticket sales for Mariah Carey's upcoming US tour. Reports in the American press suggest the music icon took great pleasure in the apparent news of her pop rival struggling to fill the venues for her upcoming live dates. The New York Daily News claims Madonna holds a grudge against Carey, following a disagreement between the pair earlier on in their careers. "Madonna laughed hysterically. She has been asking her tour promoters to email her Mariah's sales" a "source" told the paper. However, Madonna's spokeswoman denied the reports, insisting: "She has no negative feelings toward Mariah." Meanwhile, Mariah's spokesperson said the live dates were set to be a great success, commenting: "Her tour is selling well. She's cancelled a few dates so she can add shows in larger cities."
Madonna doesn't forget. Years ago, Mariah Carey paid Her Madgesty a backhanded compliment by telling an interviewer how she grew up listening to the songs of the 11-years-older star. So, sources claim, it's no wonder the 47-year-old diva is taking delight in measuring her ticket sales against those of the 36-year-old songbird. Last week, a spy tells us, Madonna was getting ready to go onstage in Chicago when someone told her Carey had been forced to cancel three tour dates. (Billboard reports that Madge's "Confessions" tour is on track to gross a record-breaking $200 million.) "Madonna laughed hysterically," according to a source. "She has been asking her tour promoters to E-mail her Mariah's numbers!" Madonna is also said to have been tickled to hear that Carey didn't appreciate her musical director, "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson, revealing on TV that he'd been inspired by Madonna's show in L.A. Madonna's rep, Liz Rosenberg, argues that Madonna doesn't give a fig about Carey's ticket sales - and "she has no negative feelings toward Mariah". A Carey rep argues, "Her tour is selling really well. She's canceled a few cities so she can add shows in larger cities. Toronto and Vancouver are sold out. So is her Madison Square Garden show. She's adding a Jones Beach show Sept. 3."
