The boy’s father, Yohane Banda, told the Associated Press: "I know he will be very happy in America." Speculation the singer was planning to adopt began when she flew into Malawi and visited several orphanages. Madonna’s publicist initially denied the adoption reports but a spokeswoman has now said an official statement is expected within 48 hours. Mr Banda said: "I am the father of David, who has been adopted. I am very very happy because as you can see there is poverty in this village and I know he will be very well looked after in America." He told reporters that his wife Marita died a month after the baby’s birth from childbirth complications. Since then the child had been cared for at the Home of Hope Orphan Care Centre in Mchinji, a village near the border with Zambia. Madonna said she had travelled to the region with her husband, film-maker Guy Ritchie, to help fight poverty and the problem of HIV and AIDS. A government official in Malawi had claimed Madonna was due to file for adoption papers on arriving in the country last week. The 48-year-old already has two children, five-year-old son Rocco and nine-year-old daughter Lourdes. If the singer has gone ahead with the adoption she follows in the footsteps of Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie.

Is Madonna about to adopt a baby? |

Madonna plans to adopt a child during her humanitarian mission in Malawi to help orphans and the underprivileged, a government official has said. The pop star and an entourage of 10 people landed on a private plane in the capital Lilongwe with no fanfare. Andrina Mchiela, secretary to the Minister for Gender and Child Welfare, said Madonna planned to adopt a Malawian child during her visit to the southern Africa nation. She is also meant to fund six projects to benefit underprivileged children, including setting up an orphanage. The pop star earlier this year announced plans to raise at least three million dollars (£1.6m) for programmes to support the nearly one million children in Malawi who have lost parents to Aids. Malawi is among the poorest countries in the world, hit by years of drought as well as an Aids epidemic.

I hope this not a Hollywood trend and these kids will later be ignored. Although I think Madonna really loves her children and will be a great mom to the child she adopts if she really is adopting a child.

Hollywood Gossip Whores
Trick answer, they all look horrible with their new dos. I think Maddona aged herself at least ten years with the new do and actually same thing goes for Jessica Simpson and Kate Bosworth!

NBC will air Madonna on a cross |

NBC has given the green light to include Madonna-on-the-Cross footage in an upcoming November Sweeps concert special! In the show, Madonna, wearing a gittered crown of thorns, descends on a suspended mirrored, disco ball-type cross singing her hit ‘Live To Tell.’ NBC suit Kevin Reilly said Madonna considered the crucifixion a highlight of her show. "We viewed it and didn’t see it as being inappropriate," NBC explained.

I saw the concert and did not have any issue with the crucifixion number. BTW I highly suggest watching this because it was one of the best concerts I ever saw in my life!

63 year old Priest called in bomb threat to Madonna’s concert |

Amsterdam prosecutors said Friday a 63-year-old priest has confessed to phoning in a fake bomb threat to a Madonna concert in the Dutch capital city last week "He was hoping to stop her from performing her famous ‘crucifixion’ act," prosecution spokesman Robert Meulenbroek said, referring to a scene in the 48-year-old pop star’s latest show.The scene, a mock re-enactment of the crucifixion of Christ, offended some Christians during earlier concerts in Italy and Germany. Two Amsterdam concerts went ahead as planned on Sunday and Monday, despite a handful of protesters.Meulenbroek said it was likely prosecutors would seek a community service punishment for the priest, since it was very likely this was his first such offense.The priest was arrested almost immediately after making the threat Sunday, since he used his home phone to make it, and he called an emergency services number where the call was automatically traced.The priest was brought before a judge Friday and has been released pending judgment, Meulenbroek said. "We take bomb threats seriously, but in this case it was clear very quickly that it was not real," he said."Maybe he should have to learn all her lyrics by heart" as punishment, he quipped.
