If you want to adopt a baby you should do your homework! & it seems according to Angelina Jolie, Madonna didn't do her homework properly!
And by speaking out on that issue, Angelina Jolie has officially entered the hot debate on Madonna's controversial adoption of Malawian baby David.
Jolie doesn't attack Madonna, but says that she would only take a child from a country where the rules on adoption are clearly defined.
Jolie told Gala magazine: "Madonna knew the situation in Malawi ... In this country, there is not really a legal framework for adopting ...

With $475 million, Madonna is now the richest singer in the world.
And if the money finished, she would still have her private yacht and palaces in both Britain and the USA (worth an additional $48 million) not to mention her collection of fancy cars.

Madonna reached her fortune in 20 years after she was living in rock-bottom circumstances.

The Queen of Pop recently arrived in New York along with her newly adopted son David from Africa and her daughter Lordess (10) and son, Rocko (6).

Madonna decided to sit in for a second interview about the adoption controversy. She talks to the Today Show 's Meredith Vieira about little David & the whole uproar that happened after his adoption!
She talks about what exactly happened with the baby's dad, about the backlash & the reason she suspects is behind people having a problem with this particular adoption.
She also is asked about David wearing the red Kabbalah string bracelet, Madonna says:
Studying Kabbalah doesn’t mean you can’t be a Christian or a Buddhist or a Muslim or a Jew or agnostic. It’s not a dogmatic religion. It’s kind of philosophy. I believe in Jesus and I study Kabbalah. So, I don’t see why he can’t too."

Madonna agreed to to talk to Oprah about the story of her adoption of little 13-month-old David from Malawi.
Things have become complicated & it has made headlines all over the world as The Adoption Controversy! Things need to be clarified, so Madonna appeared on The Oprah Show two days ago & tried to clear it all up by telling her side of the story.
She made it clear that what Yohane Banda is claiming lately is totally not true. He said that he was unaware that he was giving his son up for good by claiming that he was being attacked, prodded & hounded by the story-hungry media.
Madonna also incourages every capable person to go to Africa & see what she has seen & to go ahead & adopt a tiny child that might not have a chance to live a life & try their best to give him/her a better life.

Madonna on Oprah Video - Part 1

Madonna’s ‘Confessions’ concert will air on NBC on November 22nd, on Thanksgiving eve. But … it will kinda’ get censored!
The scene of the crucifixion, where Madonna is shown on a mirrored cross wearing a crown of thorns, will not be shown during the NBC Special.
After getting threats of boycotts & a possible viewer backlash, Madonna & NBC have decided to trim shots of the controversial mock crucifixion from the upcoming Special.
That specific scene has been condemned as an act of hostility against the church. Some religious leaders even slammed Madonna for using such a holy religious symbol as a concert prop.

The one-year-old boy from Malawi that Madonna decided to adopt, has arrived yesterday in London's Heathrow airport.
Madonna’s son, David Banda, flew via Johannesburg from Malawi overnight with a bodyguard & Madonna’s nanny & personal assistant.
Earlier this week, there was news that the boys dad had second thoughts about giving his son to Madonna, but it seems things went as planned.

As you know, Madonna is adopting a baby boy, David Banda, from the African country of Malawi. But human rights groups in Malawi have challenged the courts legal right to allow her to do so.
"We have taken the position that we must challenge and appeal against the decision made by the court to give Madonna an interim order to adopt a child from Malawi," said Justin Dzodzi, chairman of the Human Rights Consultative Committee.

So the woman wants to adopt a boy, what's the problem?

It has been confirmed that Madonna has gone through with all the adoption procedures & has adopted a little African boy from Malawi.
A 13-month old baby boy was chosen from a group of orphaned kids. The little boy is called David & he was placed in an orphanage after his mother passed away shortly after his birth & his father couldn’t take care of him by himself.
The father of the boy 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.

48-year-old American superstar Madonna, one of the world's wealthiest women, has officially adopted Africa as a cause and has sealed the deal by adopting an African baby boy from the poor nation of Malawi which lies in Central Africa. Malawi is considered to be in the top ten list of the poorest countries in the world.
The nation’s 13 million people are struggling with Aids and poverty. And Madonna, who is worth about $450 million, has decided to join a list of rich stars and donate $3 million on programs to erase poverty in Malawi.

Isn’t she sweet?

According to Contact Music, Madonna & husband Guy Richie have made up their minds about adoption; they will adopt twins from an African orphanage.
The couple are planning to fly to poverty-stricken Malawi, south east Africa, to meet the president Bingu Wa Mutharika & finalise legal details with adoption lawyers.
It has been reported a while back, that the couple are thinking of having more kids & that adoption was a very strong option.

Madonna doesn't even take her birthday off! She performed a concert just hours before celebrating her birthday the same night.

Pop singer Madonna's husband, film director Guy Ritchie, will be going on Madonna's upcoming tour with her.

Madaonna has always been keen on documenting her path to fame, and now that she's been successful staying in the public eye for decades, the Ritchie documentary will combine more than one passion!
