Madonna Wants Less Hipster, More Chickens

'80s Madonna in the EV
What's an aging pop star to do when banished from her Wiltshire estate? Madonna has purchased a new place on the Upper East Side, as we know, and has now ordered the architects to replicate her Ashcombe country home feel room by room. Since she thinks it's bad karma to snag any of the possessions from her House of Divorce, she is having her people find replicas around New York instead, because that's what people with money choose to do with it. She's come a long way from her 234 East Fourth Street digs—originally “the architects were under the impression she wanted the place modernised. But Madonna said if she wanted some hipster apartment she never would have bought this place on the staid Upper East Side." The Mirror also notes that her Madgesty has been talking to friends about bringing some chickens in to the new abode, to make her kids feel more at home, of course. [via Curbed]

Chickens? I feel like punching her botox face now.

Marie Antoinette dabbled in rearing fowl on a "farm" as a way to look down-to-earth, while her chagrined subjects were sharpening the guillotine.

fucking waste of space. she should have died in the 80s... she might still have had a trace of humanity left. fucking evil wasteful zombie bitch.

Her new neighbors are going to love old McVadgestys stinky indoor chicken farm.

Who can blame her? She lost all her eggs years ago.

my neighbor keeps three chickens in the backyard of his brownstone and i think they're pretty great. they're not loud (they're hens) and probably provide him fresh eggs throughout the week. i'd do it if i had yard space.

Why stop at chickens? How about water buffalo, geese, a few horses,...

What's with all the hate? At least a few chickens will have a good home. Better than being tortured on a factory farm.

Ain't nothin' in here but us chickens!

Too bad Michael Jackson died today and not Madonna.
