Hypocrites!

Do you think these so called "stars" realize that they look like hypocrites when the do stuff like this?

Watching the veteran star lap up the adoration, her entourage could, however, be forgiven for exchanging slightly jaded glances - having witnessed her jet in for the concert from New York.
For her 2006 World Tour, she flew by private jet, transporting a team of up to 100 technicians and dancers around the globe. Waiting in the garage at home, she has a Mercedes Maybach, two Range Rovers, an Audi A8 and a Mini Cooper S.


Indeed, Madonna's carbon footprint is dwarfed only by her ego - she has vowed that she will 'speak to the planet' at Wembley. In fact, an apology might be in order - for the superstar's energy consumption is only the tip of the iceberg in this epic vanity-fest.

The Live Earth event is, in the words of one commentator: "a massive, hypocritical fraud".

For while the organisers' commitment to save the planet is genuine, the very process of putting on such a vast event, with more than 150 performers jetting around the world to appear in concerts from Tokyo to Hamburg, is surely an exercise in hypocrisy on a grand scale.

I mean come on, do they not realize that they are burning billions and billions of gallons of fuel when carting back and forth to their "green" concerts?

Yes- Bon Jovi, Madonna, Sheryl Crow and others- I am talking about you!

Perhaps Sheryl Crow is planning on cutting back on her toilet paper usage in order to cover for her jetting around the world to do a "green" concert.
