"Madonna&amp;apos;s concert in Chile nearly went up in smoke this week.\r\nDuring a sound check for her show at an open-air theater in Santiago on Wednesday, Dec. 19, the 54-year-old pop icon noticed some fans lighting up in her vicinity. Annoyed, she interrupted her own performance of &amp;quot;Human Nature&amp;quot; to call out the offending audience members.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;There are people smoking right now,&amp;quot; the singer said angrily. &amp;quot;If you&amp;apos;re gonna smoke cigarettes, I&amp;apos;m not doing a show. You don&amp;apos;t care about me, I don&amp;apos;t care about you. All right?&amp;quot;\r\nWhen the fans continued to puff away, she added: &amp;quot;Are we going to play that game? I&amp;apos;m not kidding. I can&amp;apos;t sing if you smoke, entiendes?&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nResponding to a &amp;quot;We love you&amp;quot; from someone in the crowd, Madonna shot back, &amp;quot;If you love me, then don&amp;apos;t smoke. No smoking! You&amp;apos;re looking right at me while you&amp;apos;re smoking cigarettes, like I&amp;apos;m a stupid f---ing idiot.&amp;quot;\r\nThe superstar -- who actually smokes a cigarette for effect in her &amp;quot;Girl Gone Wild&amp;quot; video, released earlier this year --  then turned and stormed offstage, leaving the half-packed venue waiting in the rain. However, the concert ultimately went on as planned.\r\n\r\nThis isn&amp;apos;t the first time Madonna has had trouble with fans on her MDNA Tour. In Miami earlier this year, she was booed by angry concert-goers who had been kept waiting for over three hours.\r\nNot that ticket sales have suffered. The sold-out tour -- the singer&amp;apos;s ninth -- recently topped Billboard&amp;apos;s list of the highest-grossing live tours in 2012, earning an estimated $228.4 million."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
