A warm round of applause, please

Dear readers, I'd like for you to help me welcome Madonna and Guy Ritchie to the ever-growing constellation of stars who are bat-shit crazy:

“Together with husband Guy Ritchie, she approached Downing Street, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL) with the idea, The Sunday Times reported. It is understood she was promoting a water-based solution that had allegedly proved successful in neutralising dangerous nuclear waste in Russia. Film director Ritchie was said to have called BNFL and written a series of letters accompanied by scientific papers. BNFL looked into the theory but could find no scientific basis for the claims, the newspaper said. Mr Ritchie was told by one senior executive that the scheme defied the laws of physics, but he persisted and was referred to a team led by Sue Ion, BNFL’s executive director of technology, said to have ‘a brain the size of a planet'."

This ranks right up there with Tom Cruise's deep insights into childbirth, Britney and K-Fed's Dwarf-Fest, and Mel Gibson's inside voice getting out of hand.
