Madonna by the numbers - NOT green
Well, since Madonna is already the Queen of Pop, I guess she doesn't care much about being the Queen of Green. In addition to her upcoming Sticky and Sweet tour, her publicist has released a list of what this world tour consists of.You'll be amazed at the sheer amount of makeup sponges and Q-tips -- and if you're anything like me, you'll wonder why that information was made public. Keep reading to see the whole list.
Sure, there are a few positives we can take out of this -- like the fact that all her fishnet tights were bought second hand. But, still -- the sheer amount of energy that it will take to power a tour like this is overwhelming. Let's hope Madge bought carbon offsets!
