Kristin VanHoose passed along a story about a thoughtful fan in Venice who gifted aging dance-pop queen Madonna with a small bouquet of hydrangeas. Madonna was in Italy promoting one of her new movies, which, not to editorialize, generally need all the promotion they can get. Unfortunately, the Material Girl was less than thoughtful in her response, setting the flowers on the ground and whispering audibly to an associate, “I absolutely loathe hydrangeas.” Someone hook this woman up with a gift certificate to Hydrangeas Plus, stat, so she can be shown the error of her ways!
