Madonna at work & at play

Meanwhile, it seems Madonna used her downtime at the London Live 8 show to slip in some networking.
“She was spending quality time backstage with Paul McCartney, and they had a 15-minute chat about her new CD and him possibly doing something with her for the record,” says a witness.
The Material Mom leaves this week for a 12-day family vacation in Greece and Italy that’s costing a reputed $300,000. Says the insider: “She even had pal Donatella Versace whip her up duds just for the vacation, including some hot bikinis.”
