After Deadly Stage Crash "shocked" Madonna

L. Angeles – Madonna's close and cute tour just bowed deadly.

Misfortune strike in Marseille this morning, when the top of a massive stage being crafted for the stuff Mama's future concert warped on several workers, leaving one dead and seven injured.

Madonna was prepareing her show in Udine, Italy, when the event arised, but wasted no time in sending her genuine comforts to everyone engaged in the end at France's Velodrome Stadium.

She thought "My prayers go out to those who were injured and their families, along with my cordial sympathy to all those affected by this heartbreaking news."

The sold-out Marseille concert stop, scheduled for Sunday, has since been canceled.

There has been no certified word yet on what caused the stadium's roof to collapse, though firefighters told the Agence France-Presse that the roof became unbalanced as it was being lifted by four cranes.

One of the cranes reportedly fell over, crashing onto the stage below.

Marseille city councilor Maurice Di Nocera, meanwhile, told France-Info radio that the roof was roughly two-thirds complete when it began "shaking and collapsing," before gradually falling on the workers just after 5 p.m. local time. He credited the gradualness of the event with allowing several people to flee before its collapse.

"Fortunately, it didn't collapse too quickly, as there would have been quite a few victims," he said.

According to the AFP, up to a dozen people were initially trapped when the structure, which has since been barricaded by emergency workers, first collapsed.

All of the wounded workers were instantly taken to local hospitals. Two were listed in very serious condition, while the others endured broken bones. None of their identities has yet been out.

Lada Gaga discarded by Her Gentleman

Speed’s disco fix is no longer Lady Gaga's for the riding.

The mono-monikered industrialist broke up with his hit maker girlfriend of three months Wednesday after a photo of her snogging another fella made it into the U.K.'s Sun tabloid, a source close to the ex-couple entirely tells E! News.

The ill-advised make out meeting occurred at the restaurant Balans in London's Soho district, where Gaga trotted her 20-person entourage following her man-straddling gig at Brixton Academy.

"He was so frustrated, but he's not into cheaters," our source said of Speedy. "It was hard enough for them to be in a long-distance affiliation, but then this came out and it was over for him."

The 31-year-old Los Angeleno had put business on hold to accompany Gaga on tour. The before happy duo, who met on the set of her "Love Game" video, also vacationed last month in Hawaii, where they were photographed smooching on the beach.

Maybe Lady Gaga thinks you're just supposed to start kissing anyone when there's a camera around.

A rep for the singer didn't directly respond to a demand for comment.

So You Think You Can Dance: a new Sad Thursday

Aw, ominous Thursdays are being paid worse every week. Luckily, the sad So You Think You Can Dance removal always comes with a heaping helping of entertainment, as proofed by tonight's wonderful top 10 group number, and the live Black Eyed Peas performance. Let's talk about what went down and who went home!

The underline of the night was clearly the Asia-influenced group dance choreographer by Wade and Amanda Robson. We'll go as far as to say it was an instant classic, thanks to the grouping of moves, makeup, set decoration, lighting and music. Exceptional work by each one over at team SYTYCD.

The extra big number was the Black Eyed Peas the stage "I get Feeling." It was incredible to see Stacy Ferguson from Kids Incorporated at SYTYCD but did their performance leave anyone else wishing for the radio edit?

As for the poor dear dancers, Melissa, Ade, Randi and Kupono were in the bottom four, and Randi and Kupono ultimately went home.

Stepping out of the authorial "we" for a moment, Melissa and Ade are my personal favorites, and I held my breath for Melissa from the minute she was in the hot seat. I'm greatly relieved that she was safe because I was working my way up to throw a fit in all-caps, and the copy department hates it when I do that.

Were you OK with Randi and Kupono's departure or do you think they had more to offer? Share your opinion in the remarks!
