Despite the hotel's over-the-top efforts to please her with a total remodel of her top-floor suite including new furniture, curtains, rugs, TV, and on and on, she still managed to throw a fit about some chips.According to the <a href="http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/2008/08/24/her-madgesty-had-her-chips-in-hotel-91466-21593816/">Wales Online site</a>, the oil they were cooked in was "too old."

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/madonnacannes.jpg" class="imgborder">We've avoided covering the hotel scene at the <a href="http://www.jaunted.com/city/Cannes">Cannes Film Festival</a> this year largely because the same shizz happens every year, practically on auto-pilot. Expensive hotels get more expensive, movies get booed and applauded, Sharon Stone walks the red carpet over and over and nothing really truly of interest happens.Except when it happens to Madonna. Apparently, Madge was holed up in the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/InterContinental+Carlton+Cannes/local/776">Intercontinental Carlton Hotel</a> in Cannes last week while there to promote her documentary, "I Am Because We Are", about orphans in Malawi. But she got pissed when she saw that a French TV crew had managed to sneak into her suite and film the place, including the special water and gym equipment she had

New York: Rockin' the Waldorf-Astoria

[Ed. Note: We had a secret operative at the Waldorf-Astoria on Monday night when Madonna was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Said spy, AllBeachy, gives us the full report of what went down. Madonna fans listen up. Enjoy.

The normally somewhat-staid Waldorf-Astoria was rockin’ on Monday night as the annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction dinner crowd took over the ballroom. Beautiful People abounded, as a mix of luminaries from the worlds of entertainment, publishing, and business table-hopped and schmoozed it up.

<![CDATA[<img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/images/hotel-deals/hotel-deals-logo.jpg">Calling all Material Girls (and Boys). Madonna is going to be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during a ceremony at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Waldorf+Astoria/local/188">Waldorf-Astoria Hotel</a> in New York on March 10. Thus we have begun scoping out some prices for the hotel.The best deal we can see right now is directly through the <a href="http://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/content/NYCWAWA/index.jhtml;jsessionid=PSETG4PEE4LAOCSGBI12VCQ">hotel's website</a>. We found a double-bedded room at $319 a night (March 9-11). However it's a handicap accessible room. Usually this means more space but could also mean funky shower heads.Other sites like Hotels.com are offering rooms starting at $369 a night, not including tax. But this way you have more flexibility as far as bed choices.

The gossip newsletter says that the basement bar at London's <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hilton+London+Park+Lane/ian/113142">Park Lane Hilton</a>, Zeta, is to be relaunched as a private members club by Mahiki owner Piers Adam and his cohorts, with none other than Madonna rounding out the partnership (Adam was Guy Ritchie's best man at Madge's wedding).The Zeta bar is actually just one of the many <a href="http://www.hilton.co.uk/property/1200_EatAndDrink.jsp?hid=11000749">nightlife and dining options</a> offered in the hotel, which also has a Trader Vic's restaurant, a POP champagne bar, and the Galvin at Windows french restaurant on the 28th floor which offers 360 degree views of the city.
