Madonna linked to polluters

Material Girl Madonna has been accused of being a hypocrite. Madonna headlined Live Earth London last weekend, which was held to raise awareness of global warming.

However, Madonna’s Ray of Light Foundation reportedly has £2.1 million ($4.2 million)  of shares in a string of companies, of which includes Alcoa, the American aluminium giant, the Ford Motor Company and Weyerhaeuser, an international forest products company, which have all been criticised by environmentalists.

The singers spokesman came to her defence and said:

“Madonna’s agreement to sing at the Live Earth event is merely one of the first steps in her commitment to being environmentally responsible.

“She is educating herself and her family and has begun to make changes around her that reflect her awareness and concern for the future of the planet.”

Well, you have to admit it looks pretty bad and slightly two-faced.
