Madonna's Unusual Opener: Amy Schumer

Madonna might well get upstaged by her opening act in three upcoming shows in New York City, though not musically. Comedian Amy Schumer will do the honors for the mid-September shows, reports Billboard. The news comes with two unusual tweets: The first, from Schumer, is a video clip of her as a girl singing along to Madonna's "Like a Prayer." The second, from her famous cousin, Sen. Chuck Schumer, is him clarifying that the newspaper headline "Schumer Will Open for Madonna in New York" is not referring to him, notes the Washington Post. (More Madonna stories.)
