Madonna Flies Commercial, Injects Herself With Bizarre Vitamin Cocktail
Filed under: transport — michael @ 6:04 pm
Perhaps all the critique of Madonna’s footprint after her Live Earth performance is making an impression. The singer was recently spotted eschewing private jets in favor of a commercial flight from London to New York. We applaud that action — but as most health professionals will agree, it’s what she did on that flight that has us worried.
Apparently, the material girl drank nothing but water on the 7-hour flight and near the end proceeded to inject herself with a cocktail of vitamins. WTF? From the article,
“It is understood that Madonna was injecting herself with B6 and B12 vitamins to boost her energy. Such a drastic health measure is apparently all the rage among celebrities. Geri Halliwell has in the past admitted to giving herself ‘regular injections of a cocktail of vitamins’, and Lindsay Lohan and Britney spears are also said to be fans of the health fad - in Britney’s case to boost her energy before she goes on stage.”
We’re all know airline food is suspect, but is this what it has come to? This seems bizarrely unnecessary. According to nutritionists, it can also be deadly.
“Claire Williamson, a nutrition scientist at the British Nutrition Foundation called the practice in healthy individuals completely unnecessary and also said it could be dangerous. She said: ‘There is a risk of direct toxicity from excessive intakes of some nutrients. Furthermore, high intakes of some nutrients can inhibit the absorption or metabolism of others.’”
At least we know why private jets suited her so well. Next time, just use the bathroom. Hit the jump for more.
Thanks to Bernardo for the tip!
Stuff global warming in your stocking! Dedicate trees this holiday season through 
If Madonna is really sincere in cutting her contributions to global warming, then all of us should follow whether we like her or not.
The 7-hour flight might have taken place during the night or during Madonna’s night sleep period. Noone drinks water while asleep right?
Deep in Vogue…
A good full year (or two) before the rancid cultural appropriator known as Madonna gooched Willi Ninja’s style, Malcolm McLaren offered this lovely homage to the Paris that will, forever, be burning. Ninja died last year, sadly, at the age……
Of course Madonna has taken into account the LIVE EARTH messages. In my opinion, the rest (vitamins etc.) is false (pure gossip).
By the way, happy Birthday my lovely Queen!
I always order vegetarian meals on flights and they’re usually pretty decent.
