Famous Prague bridge may close for Madonna

Some Prague officials are "outraged" that the city's most celebrated bridge is scheduled for a one-day shutdown next month for a private party featuring pop star Madonna, a newspaper said Friday.

The American diva is scheduled to belt out a few songs for a fashion-company party on the cobblestone deck of the 14th-century Charles Bridge, a gothic monument in the heart of the city, sources told the Pravo newspaper.

The Sep 8 gala for French fashion designer Louis Vuitton would close the pedestrians-only bridge after Madonna's scheduled concerts at a Prague arena on the previous two nights.

The concerts will be the first in the Czech Republic for Madonna, who's carved an entertainment niche by raising eyebrows and stretching the limits of good taste.

This month in Rome, the singer's on-stage "crucifixion" stunt drew widespread criticism.

Pravo said some city council members were "outraged that one of the largest Czech monuments will be rented all day long".

The stone bridge is one of the city's favourite tourist attractions and frequently crossed by visiting dignitaries.
