Madonna turned caterer while recording album

Madonna was so determined to ensure the recording sessions for her new album Confessions On A Dancefloor were productive she ordered food to be delivered to her producer's house.

The singer recorded the disc at music producer Stuart Price's house and was appalled to discover how messy and unstocked it was.

So caring Madonna decided to transcend her superstar status and also took to bringing coffee with her each day.

She says: "I'd come by in the morning and Stuart would answer the door in his stocking feet - as he'd been up all night.

"I'd bring him a cup of coffee and say, 'Stuart, your house is a mess, there's no food in the cupboard.'

"Then I'd call someone from my house to bring food over for him. And then we'd work all day.

"We're very much the odd couple."
