Steve Madden’s favorite prison reading

Steve Madden showed appreciation for celebrity gossip the other night at an event at his Ludlow Street store hosted by his shoe line, Star magazine and “Twilight” actor Chaske Spencer. When Madden approached Star’s advertising sales team, he said, “I love your magazine. You were my favorite thing to read in prison. I used to pass you around to all my friends.” Madden in 2002 served 30 months in jail for securities fraud and money laundering.
