MADONNA - MADONNA MEETS COMEDY HERO GERVAIS

MADONNA's most memorable moment from yesterday's (02JUL05) Live 8 concert in London was meeting her hero - British comedian RICKY GERVAIS.

The veteran superstar pleaded with THE OFFICE actor to give her a job, however menial, when she met him at Hyde Park, because she is so desperate to spend time with him.

Madonna, who wowed the crowd with her performance at the show watched by five billion people worldwide, says, "My highlight of the day was that I got to meet my favourite, favourite, favourite comedian in the whole world, Ricky Gervais.

"I worship him and I told him that I would sweep his floor for him if he would employ me in such a fashion and he agreed with it, so that was cool."
