WARSAW (Reuters) – Pop diva Madonna may have upset some Catholic Poles by timing her debut Polish concert to coincide with a big religious holiday on Saturday, but she is sure of a warm welcome if she visits the tiny village of Rumin.

In Rumin in central Poland, her fans plan to name a street after her and want to make her an honorary 'citizen'. If she does visit, the young girls of the village also intend to perform dances for her in the freshly harvested fields.

"Rumin is like Madonna, Rumin is top. Rumin is trendy, Rumin is fashion. That's the general idea and we want to underline that Rumin is very similar to Madonna. And we want Madonna to join Rumin by accepting honorary citizenship," said Mariusz Ciszak, the main organiser of the campaign.

He has designed Madonna T-shirts and sweaters which some of the villagers are now wearing.

It was not clear on Friday whether Madonna had any plans to visit the village, about 230 km (143 miles) west of Warsaw, during her stay.

5. Trendy FAIL

Granted, I'm possibly the world's least trendy person, but Madonna? I suspect you're a little behind the curve there, Mariusz. Have you considered Miley Cyrus?
