Queen of Pop Madonna has given an offer to troubled popstar Britney Spears to come along on her tour, as she wants to be helpful in putting back Britney’s career on track.

The Material Girl is going to meet Spears in NY to record a video, that is going to broadcasted during her Sticky and Sweet tour which kicks of on 23rd August.

The 49-year-old singer has invited the Toxic hitmaker to accompany her onstage at some selected concerts.

A source reveals, “They are recording a video together on Sunday that will provide the backdrop for part of Madonna’s show.”

“And they are talking about Britney taking the stage on a few of the dates too.”

“It’s hoped that Madonna can help Britney get back to her old self.”

Publicity or I wonder if Madge’s concern is genuine.

Madonna and Kabbalah a home breaker?

04

July

Popstar Madonna and her Kabbalah faith are being held responsible for baseball player Alex Rodriguez’s troubled marriage.

The Material Girl was recently rumored to be dating the NY Yankees star, but the duo were just friends sharing the same manger.

Apparently, Rodriguez’s wife Cynthia is blaming Madonna for breaking their marriage as she introduced him to Kabbalah.

Cynthia’s father also confirmed that Alex is into Kabbalah teaching.

John Scurtis revealed, “He’s gotten involved in Kabbalah, which isn’t something we understand. We don’t really get that. My family is Greek Orthodox.”

“He’s (Rodriguez) been very good to my daughter, and he’s been very good to us. I hope they work it out.”

A friend of the baseball sensation and his wife insists that the sports star has completely changed after getting into Kabbalah.

He adds, “I don’t recognize the man he’s become. He was a sweet, beautiful, loving husband and father. Today, he’s very cold and calculating.”

Now I can understand what has Madonna become. ;)

Guy Ritchie desperate to save marriage

28

June

Guy Ritchie is desperate to save his 7-year marriage with Madonna and as a last bid his flying to New York this weekend.

A source reveals, “It is make or break time for Guy and Madonna.

“She is completely focused on rehearsals for her tour in America and can’t come back to London. They want to make the marriage work, but they are at a stalemate.”

“Divorce is something they have thought about.”

Madonna aka Em has taken famous divorce lawyer Fiona Shackleton’s advice whose list of clients includes Paul McCartney.

The source adds, “Em went to Fiona so that if they do split up, it will be easier to handle all the publicity if everything is in place legally.

“But at the moment they are both trying to rescue the situation. Em has shown a willingness to patch things up. But because almost all rehearsals for the tour are in New York rather than in London Guy thinks she’s not sacrificing much.”

“He has now decided to fly out there this weekend to try to sort things out.”

So will they make it or break it? What’s your comment on this folks?

Madonna ready for African Baby No.2

19

February

It seems that pop diva Madonna is not deterred by the flak she drew when she adopted baby David Banda from Malawi last year, for the singer is nowmadonna-stylish-profile.jpg all set to adopt another baby from the same region.

The superstar, who has just donated £1.5million to set up a Kabbalah centre in the African republic, has told friends she thinks she owes it to David to find him a brother or sister.

The singer has revealed that she and husband Guy Ritchie are planning another trip to Africa.

According to friends, Guy, who is currently in LA working on a new movie, is planning to fly to Malawi before the end of the month.

“Guy went out there to do quite a bit of the legwork before they adopted David. He has said he’s going to Malawi imminently to start doing some research.

He and Madonna have invested a lot of money into building a Kabbalah centre in Malawi and Guy wants to go out to see how the project is developing,” a source was quoted by the Daily Mail, as saying.

“The idea is also that they will start looking for another child. They adore David and from the start they said they wanted to adopt a little girl as well.

Madonna feels she has two biological children of her own and that she owes it to David to bring him up with another Malawian,” he added.

Tough Madonna in awe of Gay men!

17

February

Feminist Madonna says she would rather spend time with gay madonna-in-pink.jpgmen than anyone else, for they are the only people who don’t find strong women intimidating, in criticism of men who tend to put down strong women.

In an interview with Sirius Satellite Radio’s OutQ channel, Madonna insisted that gay men made the best companions for tough women. ( did I hear that right hahaha tough men or tough women :P )

“Gay men are perfect men for girls who are tough,” a source quoted her, as saying.

As for why Madge seems to think so, well it seems that that’s because they happen to be in touch with their feelings.

Another thing that tips the scales in the favour of gay men, is that always pay attention to the details.

“They’re not threatened by strong women, and they’re usually very in touch with their feelings and pay attention to details. I’ve always had an affinity with gay men!” Madonna added.

I wont be surprised if she is elected as a female spokesperson for Gay activists.

Madonna’s English Roses for sale on HSN

23

November

Madonna is really looking forward to the Chrismas Vacations. She is all set to collaborate madonna-in-live.jpgwith Home Shopping Network (HSN) to promote her set of books from “The English Roses”, her children’s book series.

Madonna revealed, “Launching The English Roses book series and my new title, The English Roses: Too Good to Be True, through this broadcast is a great chance to reach millions of homes.”

Apparently all the proceeds from the book sales will benefit Madonna’s Raising Malawi foundation, while Home Shopping Network will donate a portion of the network’s proceeds from the broadcast to the organisation.

Looks like Madonna has really developed a great affinity towards baby David’s homeland.

Madonna defends herself!

01

November

madonna-l.jpgMadonna might have been making it to the headlines everyday ever since she had adopted the Malawian boy David Banda. But she says,
“With all the chaos, pain and suffering in the world, the fact that my adoption of a child…who was living in an orphanage, you know, was the number one story for a week in the world…But to me, that says more about our inability to focus on the real problems. And our desires to have distractions and to be consumed with people’s personal lives and gossip.”
She accused media of clouding Yohane Banda’s view of what went down earlier this month in Malawi.
“When I met him, I said ‘I would be happy to facilitate to bring him back to your village and help you financially,’” Madonna recalled. “And he said ‘no.’ “I couldn’t really understand that decision…I don’t want to judge him. And I don’t know his life. And, you know, I believe he remarried and had moved to another village and was kind of getting on with his life…So, when he said no, that was my sign that—that, you know, it was my responsibility to look after him,”she said.
She says “I think he truly felt in his heart of hearts … that he(David Banda) would have a better life with me.
On wondering why everything was blown up so badly out of proportions was may be because she being a white woman adopted an African boy.
“I think it’s still considered taboo,” she said. “I have people say to me when I’m walking down the street, ‘Why did you adopt a black child?’ I don’t dignify their question with a reply. But there is a lot of racism in the world… A lot of people have a problem with the fact that I’ve adopted an African child, a child who has a different color skin than I do…I don’t live in a … in a white world,” she said. “I live in the world. And my children are exposed to all cultures and all races and many belief systems,” she concluded.
Seems quite strange to me though…Even Angelina Jolie adopted a child from Africa…but sans any controversies…may be its Madonna’s plain bad luck!

Madonna not a Christian irks Yohane Banda

30

October

Madonna’s adopted son David’s biological father Yohane Banda was under themadonna-000111.jpg impression that Madonna – ‘the nice Christian lady’ would be taking care of his son David.

Little did he know that Madonna is no Christian, instead she follows Kabbalah faith and has introduced her adopted son David to her faith too.

Madonna took the toddler to the Friday night Shabat ceremony at the Central London Kabbalah Centre, and invited other children to “come and play with baby David”.

The boy even wore the Kabbalah red string bracelet, believed by followers to ward off evil spirits.

This move would definitely irk Christian Yohane Banda. Watch out this space for more stuff on Madonna’s adoption controversies.

Madonna had lied about David’s family

29

October

madonna-000112.jpgThere are more strings attached to Madonna’s hi-profile adoption case. Recently Yohane Banda, David’s father revealed on a TV show that Madonna had lied to the world that David’s biological mother had AIDS. He said now that Madonna had lied to the world, he will have to live with the stigma forever.

Speaking on the Oprah Winfrey Show last week, Madonna said when she met David at the orphanage in Malawi she was told his mother and three siblings had died of AIDS, while his father’s whereabouts were unknown.

But Yohane Banda, who lives in the village of Lipunga, close to the border with Zambia, said:

“She [David’s biological mother] never went for an HIV test and she died in Zambia at her parents’ house, so how could anyone know if that is what she died of?”

Madonna also told the media in an interview that David had been abandoned by his family. “No one from his extended family had visited him since he arrived,” she told Oprah. But Banda insisted this was also “a lie”, adding: “I visited David many times, too many to count.”

The baby was also visited by his grandmother, while Banda’s brother, Profera, “saw him almost every day, sometimes twice a day”.

Surprisingly, Banda has not blamed Madonna for all this. Instead he blames the orphanage for giving out false information.
