Pop star Madonna reportedly didn’t have a happy birthday.

Reports claim that she was left disenchanted when some of the people she invited to her posh 50th birthday partaaaay at an exclusive Volstead watering hole in London’s West End were no-shows.

While many of her family and friends were in attendance, she was particularly ticked off with the absentees and allegedly told guests, "I'm really disappointed. There are a lot of people who are not here tonight, but thanks to everyone who did make it."

Lourdes, Mad-donna’s spawn, had some good use for a grand piano and played a song from hit musical Fame.

Hubby Guy Ritchie presented her with jewelry worth $500,000 (probably with the tag still on the lot just to make sure). Still, Madge felt distressed.

Ooh-weee… The second "presentation" should’ve roused her from the doldrums. Partaaay must have been a yawn fest.

Maybe her friends were busy watching the women’s shotput finals in Beijing, or they were out lining up for a book-signing session with brother Christopher.
