Central Park Neighbor Sues Madonna Over Noise

NEW YORK (AP) -- One of Madonna's New York neighbors says the superstar's loud music and frequent dance sessions are causing a commotion.

Karen George, of Manhattan, lives above Madonna in a building on Central Park.

She said in a lawsuit filed Friday against the building's co-op board that the Material Girl is using her apartment as a rehearsal studio, forcing neighbors to endure "blaring music, stomping and shaking walls,'' for up to three hours each day.

George complained about "unreasonably high-decibel, amplified music'' and vibrations pouring through walls, ceilings and radiators.

The building's board says it has already threatened to evict Madonna.

Madonna's representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Anyways, this just goes to show that even famous people can be a NFH .

As she's known for being pretty egocentric, this doesn't come as any surprise. Huh, nouveau riche and trash simultaneously...who knew?

But if your current neighbors did that you'd call the cops, right?

Interesting point. We tend to tolerate more the noise from people we like.

However, I like Tom Waits because he's very different and unique. Do I want to live beside him? I don't know. It would be interesting to have been there as he figured out "The Piano Has Been Drinking," but creative processes can take a very long time. And not everyone wants to indulge them.
