In a move not seen since the mid-1970s when Jimmy Page and Keith Richards were flying high–in more ways than one–on their bands’ private planes, “Madonna Shocks Aeroplane Passengers With Mid-Air Vitamin Jab” screams this Evening Standard headline:

Madonna is reported to have started injecting herself with vitamins to boost her energy levels.

The singer, who turns 49 on Thursday, is said to have surprised passengers on a recent flight from New York to London by injecting herself with a vitamin shot in her arm.

Nutritionists said that such a drastic practice could have potentially harmful long-term effects on her health.

The singer is said to have refused food on the seven-hour flight and only drank bottled water.

And she calls herself an environmentalist.

(Incidentally, even by Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2 standards, those are some scary arms that Madonna’s shooting into!)

Update: And speaking of injections…
