MadonnaIt looks like Guy Ritchie isn’t the only one annoyed by Madonna’s pending permanent move to New York - the singer has reportedly annoyed her neighbours after turning her apartment into a music and dance studio.

Last year Madonna sued the board of the Harperley Hall apartments when they tried to block her from buying a second apartment in the building. She intended to buy the seventh floor $7million property to turn it into offices for husband Guy Ritchie to complement their 12th floor home but after their marriage began to crumble, is said to have turned it into a music and dance studio which she used for rehearsals for her current tour.

An inside source told the New York Daily News: “They asked her for a schedule of when she would practice, but she hasn’t adhered to it.

“The music is playing at all hours of the night, and the noise from the drums and the bass blares through the walls.”

A spokesperson for the star denied the “all hours of the night” claim, saying: “She needs her rest. She’s a working girl, you know.”

In related news, Madonna’s much-rumoured fling Alex Rodriguez is said to be planning to join the star as she takes the Sticky & Sweet Tour through South America next month.

A source claims the baseball star will join her in Brazil, Chile and Argentina: “Maybe she’ll teach Alex some songs from Evita…”

The source added that she has also asked him to join her on her next charity visit to Malawi.

The couple were first linked in July but have denied rumours of an affair.
