They just mentioned on the local news "Madonna's new Whore of Babylon" tour and the news anchor was like "OOPs was I not supposed to say that? Will we be able to say this word on TV as we're covering the tour?"

Did I miss something? I didn't know it went from rumor to official status.

"Whore" is, but Madonna's place of residence has yet to be determined .
