Madonna has been branded a "neighbour from hell" and been accused of using her New York home as a rehearsal studio.

The '4 Minutes' singer has infuriated Karen George - who lives above Madonna in the apartment block overlooking Central Park - with her alleged "blaring music and stomping".

George has filed a lawsuit against the 51-year-old pop star in Manhattan Supreme Court, complaining of "unreasonably high-decibel, amplified music and vibrations pouring through walls, ceilings and radiators".

The lawsuit states: "Madonna and one or more of her invited guests repeatedly dance and train... to unreasonably high-decibel, amplified music, causing noise and vibration to pour through the walls, ceilings and radiators.

unreasonably high-decibel, amplified music and vibrations pouring through walls, ceilings and radiators.The lawsuit states:

"Ms. George has been forced to endure blaring music, stomping and shaking walls for approximately one and a half to three hours each day."

The managers of the apartment block - in which Madonna owns a £4 million property - say they have already threatened Madonna with eviction if she doesn't curb the noise.

Complaints about the noise were first made over a year ago as Madonna prepared for her 'Sticky and Sweet' world tour.

The 'Material Girl' singer bought a penthouse apartment in the block in the early 90s for more than £2 million, and purchased the £4 million property on the seventh floor last year.

The new home was originally intended to be an office for ex-husband Guy Ritchie.
