Madonna To Dine With President Putin
Wednesday, August 23, 2006
Madonna has been invited to a private dinner with Russian President
Vladimir Putin when her Confessions tours hits Moscow next month.
The Material Girl has been eyeing a date with the political heavyweight for months, but it was Putin's daughters Maria and Katya, both huge Madonna fans, who eventually convinced him to make it happen.
A source tells The Sun newspaper, "This has been on the cards for a while. She really wanted to meet him but he wasn't sure initially."
Madonna's invitation distances Putin from the Russian Orthodox Church's stance on her impending show - the singer has already been lambasted by religious leaders in the country for her controversial 'crucifixion' stunt, with one churchman insisting she "needs spiritual assistance".
