Pop's ultimate legendary bad girl is still stirring controversy after all these years. Madonna has landed herself in hot water after showing a controversial video during a recent concert in Paris, which featured a picture of French political leader Marine Le Pen with a swastika on her forehead.
Madge, who is currently on her MDNA tour, isn't the only spit-fire; Le Pen has just as much blonde ambition. The two gutsy powerhouses may soon battle it out in court.
It was during the singer's Bastille Day concert on Saturday night at Paris' Stade de France when the video montage of subliminal messages and cut-out images of world leaders and figures including a swastika branded Marine Le Pen played. The scandalous video was projected on a jumbo screen and was accompanied by the song "Nobody Knows Me".

A spokesman for Le Pen's party, the National Front, confirmed that the party would file a legal complaint in a French court this week. "We are obliged to react because Marine Le Pen has been accused in a very serious manner," National Front spokesman Florian Philippot said in an interview with a national newspaper on Sunday. "But what seems to me even more serious is the trivialization of Nazism, of something that is horrible. They are, after all, diffusing images of Hitler during a show to be provocative."
Philippot also went on to say that the incident is a "declaration of war" on Madonna's part against some of her own audience members which "obviously includes some of Marine Le Pen's voters." However there are reports that there were more cheers than jeers during the video montage. Philippot still continued to defend his opinion, arguing that Madonna's live crowd is getting smaller over time anyway. He believes the only people who attended are hard-core fans who will still idolize her "no matter what she does." He could be right; the Saturday night concert included only 70,000, not a sellout.
Marine Le Pen didn't hold back any punches when asked about her reaction. "Old singers who need attention-you can understand that they go to such extremes," the 43-year-old said about 53-year-old Madonna.
