Madonna Books Foul-Mouthed Comedian For Party


MADONNA is throwing a private party for hubby GUY RITCHIE - and has booked foul-mouthed comedian Bernard Manning to perform at the bash. The Queen of Pop was left dumb-struck by the British stand-up comic, famous for his racist and insulting routine, when he recently entertained an audience including Madonna and her spouse at London's posh Mirabelle restaurant.

The singer confessed afterwards, "I couldn't understand anything he was saying and just sat there trying to work out what everyone else was laughing at. " But she now wants a repeat performance at the party she's planning for her director husband. A delighted Manning says, "It was a fabulous night at the Mirabelle. Madonna and Guy are really nice people. " (KMW/WNSEX/KW)
