Tiny Montenegro town gears up for Madonna's big gig

More than 65,000
Madonna fans are expected to visit Montenegro's small coastal town of
Budva for the pop diva's concert on Thursday, the biggest-ever event to
be held in the small Adriatic republic.

Media reports have revealed the singer's various requests, such as
kosher food to be prepared by a Belgrade rabbi and her stay at a
luxurious hotel's penthouse with a swimming poll on a balcony under
banana and palm trees.

Organizers have unveiled that Madonna requested two rooms and a big bathroom in the 50-room backstage area.

"The rooms should be without air conditioning and fluorescent lights
and colors," said public relations officer Aleksandar Rados. "Smoking
is forbidden..."

The event on the Jaz beach, famous for its turquoise water and
golden sands, will cost some $7 million, according to the Russian Mirax
Group, which is the concert's general sponsor.

The beach was picked as the concert site after the last year's
Rolling Stones concert and other musical events including a Lenny
Kravitz concert this summer.
