Today's Daily Fluff about Madonna reminded me that Madonna's much heralded adoption of a 3-year-old girl from Malawi ended up being denied by the Malawi courts. Apparently, the girl's extended family wants to care for her and has been fighting the adoption despite the pressure put on them to give in and the promises that the girl would go off and become a doctor or lawyer, then return to Malawi to take care of them all.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Why the hell does Madonna keep trying to adopt Malawi children who have living parents/relatives to care for them? It's not as though there aren't plenty of orphans around the world who don't. The whole thing is incredibly weird and creepy, and sinks my opinion of Madonna even farther (if such a thing is possible). I don't have any issue at all with adoption in general. Unlike other people, I don't think Angelina Jolie is weird and crazy--well, at least not for reasons related to her many adopted children. Madonna, however, gives the impression that every time she feels lonely or needs an image boost, she jets off to an impoverished region of Africa to pick out a new baby.
So yes, I'm glad that she got turned down. I'm going to make the assumption that Madonna doesn't get a lot of people saying, "no" to her. (This explains the horrible leotard phase she went through.) Moreover, there probably aren't many things that happen that she can't buy her way out of. This is one situation where I don't even feel bad about my Madonna schadenfreude.
So the celebrity gossip machine has given us a bit of an insight into the crazy control-freakness that is Madonna's custody arrangement with Guy Ritchie. Let's not forget here that she is divorcing him after having an affair with A-Rod.
Anyway, Madonna has apparently demanded that when their sons, Rocco (8) and David (3), visit Guy Ritchie that they can't read newspaper or magazines, meet any of his girlfriends, or have their photograph taken. They also have to drink only kabbalah water (it's like regular water, only more famous and cultish), wear clothes made from natural fibers, and only play with "spiritually and ethically" sound toys. Wow, that sounds like a blast.
What exactly is a spiritually and ethically sound toy? I know that it can't be legos since everyone knows that those longer blocks are spiritually bankrupt little sluts.
When having sex I think of this image to prevent premature ejaculation. It works every time... Better than a cold shower!
My thoughts:
Good Lord, woman! Enough already! You've lost it. It's not going to catch on. The days of igniting the world by wearing pointy bras and lace gloves have passed. Mostly we want to speculate on your breaking up A-Rod's marriage.
It's been about 5 years of this getup now. Thoughts?
