I guess bean sprouts and 2% body fat don’t cut it when you’re 51 — Madonna collapsed twice onstage during her Sticky & Sweet show in Bulgaria over the weekend. The Sun says
Madge lost consciousness singing Holiday and had to be held up by a dancer. Then, as she left the stage during Spanish Lesson, she passed out and fell over.
A source said: “Madge was really worried backstage. She had to sit down for a longer than usual between songs. She refused to end the show or take a break after the [first] dizzy spell. She’s suffering from exhaustion… she is anaemic.”
Has anyone considered the idea that maybe she just got tired and fell asleep? Old people like taking naps, you know. And Ovaltine and orthopedic shoes, but that’s neither here nor there.
A “Jodeci (remember 1991?) Reunion Tour” went all kinds of wrong this past Sunday in Sydney, Australia. For starters, Devante didn’t even show, making it more like a “K-ci and JoJo Reunion Show,” and even then it was still more of a “K-ci Solo Performance” because JoJo forgot the words to most of the songs. And it seems all that forgetting made him really tired, because a half an hour into the show, he decided to sit down on the floor for a while. He got back up for a stirring rendition of “All My Life,” but then blacked out mid-song (1:50 mark), spending the next forty seconds face down in the floor.
Now, my question to you is: people are getting paid to do this? Seriously? When you bump into a few candelabras and go down face first during the Ave Maria solo at your sister’s wedding, suddenly you’re the big villain. It’s all “you took down two Peruvian orchid arrangements” this and “caught the flower girl’s dress on fire” that. Well, in some countries, they pay $29.95 for that kind of entertainment! Maybe I should just send my sister a bill.
