Digg thisIn November, The Atlantic will ask whether the “outing” of Madonna as an eco-hypocrite bodes ill for celebrities with future public sins to hide. Was Madonna’s act at Live Earth just a bit of “drive-by do-gooderism?” Memo to Madge Kabbalah Ciccone Ritchie: If you can’t walk the walk, don’t talk the talk. We’re all watching you.
And Madonna’s carbon footprint was hardly the most embarrassing anecdote to emerge from Live Earth. R-n-B pop tart Joss Stone, reports The Scotsman, “asked staff to keep her car engine running while she did interviews at Live Earth Johannesburg.”
All in all, adds Canadian columnist John Martin, Live Earth was a flop because “the notion of jet-flying, limousine-riding, 20-room-mansion-owning rock ‘n’ rollers spreading the message we need to simplify and consume less was just a touch over the top.”
