Eyeing Marathon, Madonna Carts Gym in Jet

No wonder Madonna needed 11 suites and 25 rooms at the Tel Aviv hotel where she stayed for the Israeli finale of her Sticky & Sweet Tour—the material girl's entourage included chef, four children, boy toy Jesus Luz, and a private jet's worth of exercise equipment, the New York Post reports. The exercise gear is for Madge to step up her already grueling exercise regimen to train for an ultra-marathon.

Madonna is clearing her schedule for next April to complete a six-day, 151-mile run in Morocco, the Boston Globe reports. In the meantime, her kids are hard at work: Lourdes, 12, and Rocco, 9, have joined mom onstage as dancers, and a photo floating around the Internet has Lourdes dolled up as Like a Virgin-era Madonna—presumably for a remake of the Celebration video.
