After going without Madonna for a whopping 19 years, since she last delighted the Ottoman lands, the film star set and VIP-ers of Turkey were out in in full force to up the glitz for the Turkish stop of her MDNA tour.
Among concert-goers spotted at the Turk Telekom Arena, were Turkish stars, Beren Saat, known in the Arab world as Fatima, (previously Samar), alongside her boyfriend pop singer Kenan Dogulu.
Actor Kivanc Tatlitug, famous for his role as Mohannad, was also there with girlfirend Azra Akin on his arm. Kenan Imirzalioglu, known for his part in the thrilling epic Turkish series "Ezel" was also spied among many other Turkish soap stars, familiar to Arab satellite TV viewers, who filled out the front rows. Which guaranteed them a load of Madonna's breasts and more.
Madonna was said to have veiled up for parts of her conservative off-stage tour of the Turkish sites, though she notoriously popped a nip out during performance.
