David LaChappelle Calls Madonna "Nasty"

Congratulations are in order for Pamela Anderson now that she has her BFF, David LaChapelle, all to herself. LaChapelle recently announced he will no longer spend his time as Madonna�s best gay because she�s �nasty.�

During an interview with French magazine Match, the renowned photographer said his working relationship with Madonna is over; she proved far too difficult to work with. He even quit his post directing her latest video.

"When I started to look at what made me happy, I understood that she was not the person I wanted to collaborate with," he said of the video for her single "Hung Up."

LaChapelle says he was booked to shoot the video, but pulled out because "If the situation is negative, it's better to avoid it if you can."

"She is nice when you are alone with her, but when you work for her, she can be very nasty," he said. "She is with people she employs. I didn't want to be tortured.

LaChapelle added there are no hard feelings, she�s just a bit too Cruella DeVille for his taste.

"I don't have anything against problems, but that would have been unpleasant. I wouldn't have had fun. There is some cruelty in her."

After LaChapelle pulled out last minute, Johan Renck stepped in to direct �Hung Up.� You might remember Renck as the singer for the Swedish band Stakka Bo. Luckily, his directing skills seem to be a bit a better than his musical skills.

He said she could "be nasty" not that she "is nasty." There's a difference.

I still like the title though. It's much more entertaining.

It's my way of being insidious. Sometimes I get bored and shit.

I hadn't seen that video before ... her ass was impressive ... all things considered.

... and the radio humping was entertaining ...

I agree with LaChapelle. Madonna can be nasty....especially now that she looks like she could be an extra for Suzanne Summers' Thighmaster video from the 90s.
