MADONNA SUES CO-OP BOARD

She won’t exactly be stuck in a manger, but nor will Madonna have the roof she wants over her head this Christmas.

The pop icon has filed suit against her Central Park West building’s co-op board, charging that it wrongfully blocked her from buying a neighbor’s apartment.

In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, the singer says the board recently stopped her from closing on a deal to buy Julie Clark Thayer’s home. Madonna is seeking a court order allowing the sale to go through, as well as legal fees and expenses. Board president Phyllis Harrison-Ross did not return a call for comment.
