‘Fan’ in Madonna hydrangea ‘scandal’ is actually a television prankster

Madonna’s ‘hydrangea’ scandal was the biggest topic of conversation in Chicago this week. Forget terrorism, the fall of public education, and violent murders! The fact that Madonna graciously accepted some hydrangea’s from a fan and then, not realizing her mic was still on, told the person next to her that she “absolutely loathes hydrangeas” is much worse according to some people.
