Shameless American star buys an African souvenir (a 1 year old boy)

I think people love to hate celebrities. You don't necessarily need to have actually "done" anything to justify it.

Dont get me started on madoga otherwise VJ's servers will probably run out of room...

This'll be good...

Funny thing about madoga is that she pisses all over other's religion yet no one seems to have a problem with that..

I am not surprised that trash like that would do that. People like her are proof that money can not buy class, period!!

Maybe, maybe not, it's discutable...but in the long run, if 1000 kids are saved from sickeness and death, that's class, and much more that many among us can do!...oh...1001 kids!...

True on her contempt for every other religion than self-worship; false on no one having problem--those who do/did simply stopped buying her junk (or never bought it in the first place--I'm one of the latter; never liked lip-synch-primadonkey!)

When could class ever be purchased?

poor madonkey; she can't win.

Because her mindset never figured out business cycle--to appeal to teen-20 agegroup, you have to be at least close to that age (not pushing half-century and looking past retirement age with makeup--and older-than-coal without).

Unlike Britanny Spears and other teen idols, Madonna proved she was more than just bubblegum music...her music matured along with her audience.

And, unfortunately, the Post (by printing the article) actually gave this ageing tawdry trash what she wanted--publicity!

Yea it's cool if Madonna really wants to adopt a kid and is really committed, but one has to wonder if this is just another attention getting publicity stunt. In the long run she is just passing through on the way to somewhere else. Madonna is no Mother Theresa.

Feeding 1000 kids (for a short while) and bringing 1 kid back to the prosperous developed world is hardly any kind of comprehensive long term solution to the lingering plight of many parts of Africa.

Of course megastars can use their star clout for worthy causes. Unfortunately these media events often are more about the celebs than about the cause. We can only hope the $million documentary won't be a Madonna road tour movie.

Days ago, she lined up 12 African boys - tots hand-selected for her perusal .

she's moved on to boys hand selected instead of men? she's taking cues from michael jackson?

She picked out a 1-year-old, David, to take home in her luggage.

how's he supposed to breath?

Did the kid come with a keychain?

Not familiar with Peyser's writing style? She's just being her usual sarcastic, b1tchy self. Don't take her too literally.

...

Madonna, who at 48 has more undeserved cash than probably sits in the Malawi treasury, agreed to pay big bucks for the transaction.

... she will pour $3 million into a center to help 1,000 Malawi orphans.

Yes, sure...totally agree...a public figure is of course in every parcel of what they are...in the scrutinity of public...and when the child's rights comes with it...it can be very much discussed...I agree..but, but still....Madonna, what i like about her is that she dares...she tries new things...many refused her in her beginings..and she was consistent with her work...which is mainly: she has a huge sens of marketing...if that attracts the attention to the childs rights...why not..I see it more like a step that has to be embetter with time....In the long run, she searches to be more spiritual...some can get trapped in sort of sects philosophies...but, unlike others, did she harm anybody? nope...does she take good care of her own kids? i think so...of what i have heard at least...she is not the Mommy dearest type of cruel dammaging parent...so...what's the problem?...and the courage she had to make her parody of religion in front of the Pope's nose was...so funny...she is a true artist...in marketing, that is...so she can give more good than bad examples...because, again: she does no harm, she dare, is energizing what's around her.....for now, at least...I truly believe that that article, the journalism nowdays has also to be criticized...they should bring solutions...the article is not at all constructive...did that journalist tried personnaly to help those kids? nope...i think that's lack of class...i think that person should digg more in what more can a personnality like Madonna can do to pursue that idea of helping kids...and that takes much more studies..in more deep fields...so, to me, that critique...explains also why the stars do what they do...both sides have egos bigs like more than anything we can imagine...so to me both maybe have to do more thinking...

ok...i think this is maybe too much for here...lol so it's better for me to stop...

Madonna is a ####### lol her music sucks lol.

[keltic 1]

judgement from behind a computer screen is so easy

for each person who has felt free to post something negative to say about what she has done, please feel just as free to post just what each of you have done to help a poor family in africa (or any third world country)

its pretty disheartening to know that no matter what anyone tries to do that is good... its just not good enough ( 'they could/should have done so much more' )... there is no gratitude anymore... maybe, just maybe, she is actually just trying to live her life as she wants to... isnt that what all of us want?

if you dont like her music, dont buy it... if you dont like how she looks, dont look at her... its pretty simple

at least one child will have a better life made available... the childs own father doesnt have a problem with it... why should anyone else?
