text: JENNIFER WESTFELDT doesn't have to worry about getting kicked out of summer camp anymore. On Wednesday, the "Friends With Kids" star and writer, along with Greg Kinnear, will start performances of the new play "The Power of Duff" at Vassar's Powerhouse Theater in upstate Poughkeepsie. It's a place with a summer-camp vibe, thanks to the fact that the campus is crawling with actors and creative types. The effect isn't lost on Westfeldt: She recounted a story about being kicked out of camp when she was 13 because her then-boyfriend took her out for pizza. But these days, it's a whole new capture-the-flag-game. Asked if longtime boyfriend and "Mad Men" hunk Jon Hamm has visited her on the campus, Westfeldt told Daily News theater critic Joe Dziemianowicz that, "Yes, he's been here." But without incident. "I'm of age now," she joked. ||||| Protesters from a Catholic youth group are calling on local officials in Warsaw, Poland to cancel an upcoming gig by Madonna as it falls on the city’s annual World War Two remembrance day. 
   
   The pop superstar is due to take her MDNA tour to Poland on 1 August, when residents traditionally observe a minute’s silence to commemorate the 1944 Warsaw Uprising against the Nazi occupation, which cost an estimated 200,000 people their lives. 
   
   Religious activists from a group called the Youth Crusade are demanding Madonna’s show be axed out of respect and they have launched an online petition to rally support for their mission. 
   
   The internet post reads: “August 1 is a day of remembrance in Poland. We pay our respects to those who survived and those who perished in the uprising. We won’t allow the desecration of our hallowed symbols.” 
   
   Youth Crusade demonstrators have also blasted Madonna for “attacking the Catholic faith” and “offending Jesus Christ by burning crosses and wearing a crown of thorns” during her controversial stage shows, which they claim also promote homosexuality and pornography. 
   
   Madonna’s latest tour antics have done little to improve her reputation in the eyes of her more conservative critics – she flashed her breast while onstage in Turkey and France, exposed her bottom onstage in Rome, Italy and incensed French politician Marine Le Pen by screening a video which juxtaposed a swastika over her head. ||||| Madonna has been acting like Madonna performing a striptease during each of the shows on her MDNA Tour, so it's unsurprising that she got down to the bare essentials at a concert in Hyde Park. 
   
   The cold weather, however, might have given less determined artists some pause. She went on to strip down to her usual sheer bra as part of her "Like a Virgin" routine, going so far as to pull down her pants to flash a black thong at her adoring fans. 
   
   A-listers including Kylie Minogue and Stella McCartney were seen taking in the show. The tour, which is in support of the album by the same drug-pun name, may end up being the highest-grossing concert run of all time. 
   
   Just days earlier, Bruce Springsteen's Hyde Park concert was cut off after he -- and Paul McCartney, who The Boss had invited on stage -- exceeded the curfew of the strict venue. Despite telling the crowd that she "like[s] to live dangerously," Madonna was careful to err on the side of caution and thus did not have the plug pulled on her traveling circus. 
   
   At his next concert, Springsteen mocked Hyde Park officials by launching into the final minute of "Twist and Shout," by The Beatles, explaining that he was picking up where he was "rudely interrupted."

   MADONNA has scrapped plans for her first Australian tour in 20 years. 
   
   Her manager, Guy Oseary, reportedly told promoter Live Nation about Madonna's change of heart overnight. 
   
   Live Nation Australia confirmed the cancellation today, but had no further comment. 
   
   Madonna was set to announce summer dates for Melbourne and Sydney on July 12, but postponed the announcement until after the London Olympics. 
   
   Stadiums in Sydney and Melbourne had been booked for her new show, MDNA, in January and February. 
   
   Earlier this year, Oseary said: ''Madonna really needs to go to Australia. We are long overdue for a trip Down Under and apologise for that. It will happen.'' 
   
   Live Nation boss Arthur Fogel added: ''We'll get to these markets where she's never been, some exciting new places, and get back to Australia after too long a time.'' 
   
   But rival promoters claim the show was not viable in a crowded summer tour market. 
   
   Coldplay and Red Hot Chili Peppers will tour in summer. 
   
   Nicki Minaj and Nickelback are also set to announce last-quarter dates. 
   
   Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg is being sought for comment. 
   
   The MDNA tour has had a controversial start in Europe. Madonna flashed her breast in Istanbul and displayed a Nazi swastika in Paris. 
   
   Punters had also complained about ticket prices, which ranged from $45 to $600. 
   
   But Madonna urged: ''Start saving your pennies now. People spend $300 on crazy things all the time, things like handbags. So work all year, scrape the money together and come to my show. I'm worth it.''

   Even a strip tease failed to impress many fans at the Hyde Park MDNA concert 
   
   Fans blamed a 10.30pm curfew, poor sound quality, rain and a failure to perform hits from back catalogue for dismal concert 
   
   
   
   Madonna's first gig in London for four years but £77 tickets failed to sell out

   Her career has spanned decades, survived fashions and struggled through a variety of public relations disasters. 
   
   But last night hundreds of die-hard Madonna fans abandoned their Queen of Pop by marching out of London's Hyde Park during her MDNA concert - some branding it the worst they had ever seen. 
   
   Even a sexy striptease on stage left fans cold- one simply stated: 'When Madonna has concerts in her 50s where she strips herself on stage, you know her career is as dead as myspace.'

   Shot herself in the foot? Fans branded Madonna's Hyde Park gig the worst concert ever and hundreds walked out 
   
   Many fans decided they did not want to stick around to watch the finale as of the poor sound quality, terrible weather and Madonna's failure to perform more of her classic hits. 
   
   One reviewer even said at one point Madonna screamed: 'We love you Poland', which if it was a joke fell flat on an already less than enthusiastic audience. 
   
   Others said a 10.30pm curfew imposed by Westminster Council meant Madonna was forced to start her performance early, in broad daylight, which meant the elaborate staging was lost to some of the audience.

   'Worst gig ever': Even Madonna's energetic performances with a variety of props didn't win round many 
   
   Earlier her management admitted it had failed to sell all the tickets for the concert - Madonna's first in England for four years. 
   
   It is believed some fans were put off by the £77 for the open air show. 
   
   
   
   A number of fans later complained on Twitter about the show. One user, Courtney, tweeted: 'Worst gig I have ever seen.' 
   
   Dawn Gracie wrote: 'Madonna left early,' adding later: 'I mourn those vintage Madonna days ... where potty mouth and violent imagery wasn't necessary. Just good vibes and great music!' 
   
   
   
   Not impressed: users took to Twitter to vent their frustrations over the MDNA performance 
   
   
   
   Claire Whitaker said : 'When Madonna has concerts in her 50s where she strips herself on stage, you know her career is as dead as myspace.' 
   
   Kylie Minogue, George Michael, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and U2 star Adam Clayton were among celebrities seen watching the show - which finished just moments before the 10.30pm curfew imposed by Westminster Council. 
   
   Her sexy strip took place while she sang Like A Virgin in front of the 50,000-strong crowd. 
   
   Madonna, 53, peeled off her clothing to reveal a sheer bra and black lacy thong, which she wore under fishnet tights. 
   
   
   
   Jumping through hoops: Some fans resisted the urge to slate Madonna though and tweeted that she was excellent 
   
   Poor sound quality: Madonna's show started in daylight and many complained they couldn't hear properly 
   
   Her toyboy boyfriend Brahim Zaibat, who was on stage as a backing dancer, then helped to fasten a corset around her. 
   
   She told the audience: 'I like to live dangerously.' 
   
   Madonna also introduced her 11-year-old son Rocco, who joined her as a dancer during the gig. 
   
   As well as performing hits like Papa Don't Preach, Hung Up and Vogue, she also showcased tracks from her latest album MDNA.

   High expectations: Fans arrive for concert yesterday in Hyde Park, many dressed like the star 
   
   She made a dig at pop rival Lady Gaga by incorporating her track Born This Way during a rendition of Express Yourself. 
   
   Not all fans were disappointed. TV and radio presenter Toby Anstis tweeted : 'I can definitely say, that was THE best live show I have ever seen! Mesmerising from start to finish! Amaaaazin!' 
   
   Madonna's press spokeswoman Barbara Charone, was unavailable for comment about the mass walk-out. 
   
  
target: – Madonna's week hasn't gotten much better since news broke that she's being sued for using a swastika image during her concerts: The Daily Mail reports that hundreds of fans walked out of her gig last night in London, with some deeming it the worst concert ever. The Hyde Park show—which did not sell out, despite it being Madge's first London gig in four years—suffered from bad sound quality, rain, a curfew, and the Material Girl's refusal to perform many of her classics. (Although she did perform "Like a Virgin," and stripped while doing so, prompting one concertgoer to tweet, "When Madonna has concerts in her 50s where she strips herself on stage, you know her career is as dead as MySpace.") Bizarrely, at one point Madonna yelled, "We love you, Poland." Maybe it was a joke, the Daily Mail hypothesizes. But Poland is exactly where Madge is seeing yet more trouble: Her planned show there faces a protest because it's scheduled on Aug. 1, Warsaw's World War II Remembrance Day. A Catholic youth group wants the show canceled, WENN reports. Meanwhile, Australia is feeling snubbed by Madonna, who recently ditched plans to do shows in the country for the first time since 1993, Australia's News Network reports. And, on a more personal front, Madge was possibly betrayed by good pal Demi Moore, who had dinner with Madonna's ex Alex Rodriguez Sunday night, according to the New York Daily News. Feeling brave?
