Madonna was apparently so disgusted at missing out on a Grammy Award - losing out three times to Macy Gray, Steely Dan and U2 - that she stormed out of LA's Staples Centre during the ceremony.
Madonna, up for album of the year, record of the year and female pop vocal performance, became more and more agitated, witnesses said, as she watched from her seat as her hopes for an award went down the drain.
"When they announced that Steely Dan won album of the year, she just had this look on her face - like she couldn't believe it," one source told the New York Post.
"When it was announced that U2 got the record of the year, she'd had it and got up and left just as U2 took the stage for their acceptance speech."
Madonna rep Liz Rosenberg said: "She was always planning on leaving after the third award she was nominated for, as she was having a romantic dinner with her husband."
