According to blogger Perez Hilton, the singer was almost rammed off the road by the two vehicles after her driver turned on to Fifth Avenue in a bid to elude them, forcing the star to call the police for assistance.

The NYPD could not confirm that the emergency call took place and while Madonna’s spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg, said she was unaware of the high-speed chase, she did confirm what she described as "a danger situation" outside the Ed Sullivan theatre, where the Late Show is filmed.

The crushing crowd of 500 fans that surged toward Her Madgesty as she emerged on Broadway "was pretty scary," Liz told the New York Daily News.

Father wants news of adopted David - Jan 3 2007
The father of the Malawian baby adopted by Madonna has said he’s desperate to find out how his son is, but can’t because he doesn’t have the star’s phone number or address.

Yohane Banda said he didn’t want David, one, to return to Malawi, but wanted to hear how he was doing in Britain.

He hadn’t spoken to the singer since his son left with her last year, he told Malawi’s Daily Times newspaper.

"I don’t have her phone numbers and mailing addresses," he said.

"I want to find out how my son is but I don’t know how I can do it. If there are people who can help me to get these details, please come forward. I would appreciate very much."

Mr Banda, 32, added: "All I want is to find out how he is faring and not that he should come back."

He made the comments last week as the newspaper gave him a cheque for £400 from Scottish nanny Christine Webster.

She’d sent the donation to editor James Mphande, writing: "I don’t have a lot of money but would you please assist in getting this money to Mr Banda to help him keep in contact with his son."

She said she wanted him to be able to stay in touch with David because she believed the youngster would’ve been better off growing up in his home country than in a foreign environment.

Madge and her husband Guy Ritchie were granted an interim order in October, giving them temporary custody of David.

Madonna designs Roses clothes range - Dec 27 2006
Girls’ clothes created by pop star Madonna are set to launch in the UK.

They are inspired by a book the Material Girl wrote for children, called The English Roses.

Madonna and manufacturer Lipstik Clothing used illustrations from the book as inspiration for the clothing designs.

The range is already on sale in the US and will launch in the UK at the Premier Kids trade show in Birmingham at the end of January.

Publicity material for the range says: "The vivid colours and trend-setting design have made Madonna’s The English Roses the hippest line of girl’s clothing on the market."

Rachel Barnes, news editor of fashion trade magazine Drapers, said it was notoriously difficult to break into the UK children’s clothing market.

Commenting on Madonna’s new range, she said: "To create a lucrative brand, she’ll have to pick one look and stick with it.

"The difficulty is that the kids’ market is all about price in the UK. We don’t spend much on kidswear, particularly with the rise of supermarket fashion. So it may do better in Europe than here."
