A renown shade dispenser, Madonna re-affirmed her uncanny ability to dish out that dark stuff on the opening night of her ‘MDNA World Tour’.

Backed by a troop of dancers, the Pop royal put on a live showing that saw her claws sink deeper into megastar Lady Gaga. For, confirming the snowballing speculation, the 53 year old did indeed perform a medley mash-up of ‘Born This Way’ and her song that she claims the former was modeled on ‘Express Yourself’.

And so as to ensure there was no confusion about her dig being a “dig”, the clearly exhausted star followed with ‘She’s Not Me’ from her 2008 effort ‘Hard Candy’.

Rocco, the 53 year old’s 11 year old son, also joined in the fun, performing on a number of cuts with his mom in front of the 35,000 fans crammed into the Ramat Gan Stadium.

Fans of hit show Basketball Wives were in for a shock this season when the ‘spat between long time friends, Evelyn Lozada and Jennifer Williams, turned into a horrific feud.So horrific, Evelyn’s treatment of Williams’ is one of the reasons used to defend efforts to boycott the series.

However, it what spells good news for Lozada’s publicists but bad news for her producers, she has apologized to Williams by way of Vibe Magazine.

Her heartfelt message below:

On whether she felt she could have handled her beef with Jennifer a lot differently
I think so. A lot was happening during that time. I’m one of those people, I said some things and I was just like, that was not cool. I live by loyalty and I feel like, at that point, I broke the friend code.

I should have never broken that code and I should have never stooped down to that level. Like, if she wants to do interviews and slick comments, it is what it is. I don’t hate her. People just get caught up in this industry; you do interviews and say certain things.

I truly don’t wish her anything negative, we’ve gone through a lot together as friends from moving out, men drama, all types of stuff. It’s just tough having to relive it then talk about it. You never have that time for healing. But now that the show is done and things are calming down, I’m not angry anymore about it and I don’t hate her at all. I don’t really hate anybody, I was just upset how things were handled.

On whether she misses Jennifer :
I miss her. We were friends for 10 years. I was in her wedding, so you know yeah, and your thinking you guys are going to do this show together, your BFF, and then your kind of like what happened?

And we are mutual friends with a lot of people, so everything else became weird energy. It was tough.
