		TV cameras staked out Moscow's airports for her arrival Monday afternoon, which was a bit short on her trademark glamor: Madonna was covered in a long fl coat with a fur collar, apparently a concession to the city's coolish weather.
		The temperature is expected to be around 52 degrees for the show at Luzhniki Stadium, but the performance is expected to contain plenty for hot dispute — particularly the planned ending when Madonna sings while suspended from a cross.
		The prospect of the scene being repeated at the concert in Rome's Olympic stadium, some 2 miles from the Vatican, prompted Catholic officials to denounce the act as a publicity stunt in bad taste.
