Madonna's jury duty was short and sweet, but the Material Girl singer said she was proud to do her job.

However, comments from fellow jurors and the media hint her celebrity status could've interfered with the wheels of justice.

Madonna responded to a draft for jury duty Monday at a Manhattan court, only to be dismissed within two hours. Officials confirmed the court already had the potential jurors needed for the pick, and the material girl's services were already served.

Celebrities serving civic duties often pose a challenge; the press and paparazzi interfere with the process merely by their presence. Madonna's appearance Monday caused quite a scene, as photographers crowded around her to take pictures.

The singer's celebrity status was also a contrast to the usual draft of jurors, arriving with an entourage of two bodyguards and two female personal assistants. She was a half hour late for her 10 AM call time, already scheduled an hour later than other potential jurors.

Court spokesperson commented on Madonna's jury duty:

"The greater good here is that her appearance really goes to show that everyone gets called. The intent here was not to create a distraction to other jurors or the business of the court ... She got credit for her service and we're delighted she came."

Fellow jurors felt the singer enjoyed preferential treatment, accommodated at a clerk's office instead of at the waiting room. A fellow prospective juror in a comment to the New York Post: "[It] doesn't seem quite right. Everyone should have to wait in the same line."

Court officials admitted the singer wasn't even interviewed about her participation in the case. Madonna was satisfied with the service rendered, though. "I'm proud to do my job," she said to press as she left the courthouse.

This is the second time for Madonna's jury duty. She appeared for a 2008 summons by a Beverly Hills courthouse, excused after four hours. She's exempted from further jury duties until 2020 (theguardian.com).
