Bono: Madonna Adoption was in the Name of Love

Bono: Madonna Adoption was in the Name of Love

We’re not sure how he feels about the Shanna Moakler vs. Paris Hilton feud.
But U2 singer, Bono, has made his feelings well known regarding the flak a certain material girl has recently received in light of her African baby adoption.
The frontman hit back at critics of Madonna and praised the 48-year-old for giving one-year-old David Banda a chance of a better life.
“Madonna should be applauded for helping to take a child out of the worst poverty imaginable and giving him a better chance in life”Bono said. “Baby David is lucky to have been adopted by someone who can give him a chance of survival in this world and I don’t think it’s fair that people are criticising her.”
The singer then told a story about the sort of sad adventure Brangelina can relate to.
“About 20 years ago when my wife Ali and I went to Africa, shortly after Live Aid, a man who quite clearly loved his child came up to us and begged us to take him.
“It is heartbreaking but he asked us to take his child home with us because he couldn’t feed him. This happens all the time in parts of Africa where unthinkable poverty means people simply can’t feed their children.”

Madonna to Meredith Vieria: I Tried to Pay Baby’s Daddy

Madonna is opening up about the problems she had in her recent adoption case.
She talked on the Today show with Meredith Vieria this morning about initially trying to give her recently -adopted baby’s father money, so he could raise the boy himself. But when he turned her down. Madge said she took as a sign that she should adopt him herself.

The Material Girl told the host she “couldn’t really understand” Yohane Banda’s decision not to take her money, especially because he had “moved to another village and was kind of getting on with his life.”
When he declined the money, Madonna said she regarded it as “my sign that … it was my responsibility to look after [David Bana].”
Madonna also defended her decision to introduce David to Kabbalah nice and early.
“I believe in Jesus and I study kabbalah,” she said. “So, I don’t see why he can’t, too.”
A fair point. And it could be worse. The kid could look just like Bjork.

Madonna, David Banda Arrive in N.Y.C.

They’re baaaaack! Or she is, anyway. He’s here for the first time! Madonna brings 13-month-old David Banda on his first transcontinental journey to New York City on Sunday.

The singer, who is planning to adopt the Malawian child, a la Brangelina, is reportedly visiting town to promote her latest children’s book, Too Good to Be True, and her upcoming televised concert special.
At times like this, we can only wonder, what would Borat say?

Borat to Madonna: Raise My Child

It’s unlikely his movie will flop, but just in case, Borat has a back-up plan.
At Wednesday’s London premiere of Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, the bumbling, faux journalist told reporters about his grand plan.
“I have come here with Bilak, my 11 year old son, his wife and their child, and we are hoping maybe to put some chocolate make-up on the child’s face and sell him to Madonna. I am hoping that Madonna will be a very good father for it.”
The Material Mother, meanwhile, was on Oprah Winfrey today, blaming the media for making such an issue out of her recent adoption. ”
“Shame on you for discouraging other people from doing the same thing,” she said.Of course, if Mads doesn’t want another child, Borat has other backup plans: Ice maker, gypsy catcher or animal sperm collector, specializing in camels.
The last of which, naturally, is how Linsday Lohan spends her Wednesday nights.

Madonna’s New Baby’s Daddy Wants Him Back … Eventually

While reports have confirmed that Madonna recently adopted a baby boy, apparently that child’s father isn’t clear on how serious a procedure this is.
Yohame Banda says he didn’t realize that he’d have to give up the baby to the pop queen forever when he consented to the adoption. Maybe he should’ve read more about Angelina Jolie in order to understand the process.

The 32-year-old Banda, a produce farmer from Malawi, told the Associated Press that he is just now understanding what happened to his son.
“If we were told that she wants to take the baby as her own we would not have consented, because I see no reason why I should give away my son,” said Banda.
Hmmm … so what exactly did he think was going to happen? This was some sort of loan, like Kevin Connolly was to Nicky Hilton?
Well, yes.
Banda says he thought that the biggest female pop star in the world was just going to take care of David as an orphanage would for several years, and then return him to his native village of Lipunga.
Madonna’s Malawian lawyer had no comment.

NBC Crosses Off Plans for Madonna Crucifixion

In a battle of Madonna versus Jesus, NBC has taken the side of everyone’s favorite savior.
Under pressure by advertisers, the network finally convinced the controversial star to cut a crucifixion scene from an upcoming concert special.
Mel Gibson celebrated the triumph of Catholic values with a beer.
During the song “Live to Tell,” Madonna is shown on a mirrored cross wearing a crown of thorns, a visual statement meant, she’s maintained, to illustrate a theme of confession. Shockingly, not everyone saw it that way.
Religious leaders across the globe have objected to the demonstration, as several church-related groups had threatened to organize a boycott of one of the advertisers on the show.
Therefore, NBC has little choice but to censor the concert more than a nude Nicky Hilton model shoot.
So tune in November 22 and see what stunts the Material Girl was allowed to broadcast. Also, don’t expect NBC to ever air the Screech sex tape.

Beyonce may sing about a baby boy.
But Madonna actually adopts one.
Even though her publicist has denied it, here’s how we know the Material Girl really did adopt a child in Malawi: the baby’s father has come forward to confirm the news.
Yahome Banda told the Associated Press that the Queen of Pop visited the Hope Orphan Care Center in Mchinji, where his son had been living. On Monday, the little boy - whose mother died after giving birth to him a month ago - was taken to the capital, Lilongwe, where Madonna was staying.
Admit it: this makes her a bit more Jesus-like, doesn’t it?
Banda says he’s been told that the child, who will join Lourdes, 9, and Rocco, 5, in the Ciccone-Ritchie brood, will come back to Malawi frequently.

Will Brangelina respond by adopting another child of its own? Stay tuned and find out!

The Sports Gal Doesn’t Like Angelina Jolie

The Sports Gal Doesn’t Like Angelina Jolie

This week, she’s putting coal in the stocking of a certain celebrity. And it’s not Rosie O’Donnell. To hear her say it …

I used to really like Angelina Jolie. Ever since she starred in Gia, I admired her flawless natural beauty, as well as the many character flaws that made her more likable and less threatening overall.
Maybe she was a recovering drug addict, a cutter, a brother kisser, and a blood vial-wearing skank who looked like she showered once a week, but she didn’t care what others thought and was totally comfortable going out in public without tons of makeup on. So that made her likable, at least to me.
Then everything changed: She adopted Maddox, became a goodwill ambassador, started making normal movies and slowly made everyone forget that she was crazy. Next, she seduced and stole the husband of one of the most likable female celebs, adopted another baby with her stolen man, then had his biological child months before his divorce was even done.
But what really turned me into a full fledged Angelina hater was this month’s Vogue article about her, with Angelina smugly pushing for peace talks between her and Jennifer Aniston, even having the gall to say, “That would be her decision, and I would welcome it.”
If I were Jennifer Aniston, I would welcome it, too. Then I would meet Angelina for lunch and repeatedly smash a chair over her head.

Angelina Jolie: Expect Another Brangelina Adoption

Bring on more babies, said Angelina Jolie on ABC’s Good Morning America yesterday.
However, The Good Sheperd actress stated her and Brad Pitt will likely adopt their next child in an effort to add to their mixed-race family.
For those just waking up from a coma, the beautiful celebrity couple has gone the adoption route a couple times already: first, with 5-year-old Maddox, whom Jolie adopted from Cambodia and has nicknamed “Mad.”
Then, there’s 23-month-old daughter, Zahara, who was adopted from Ethiopia and goes by “Z”; 6-month old daughter, Shiloh, who was born to the couple in May.
“I want Mad to know that as our family grew and we all came together, we didn’t just start having children, biological children,” Jolie said.
She went on to note that while having another biological child with Pitt is a possibility, it is more likely that Brangelina would adopt another child first.
“I even think that I did make it clear that we, we would think about adopting next, which is important for me in the balance of how - in our own family, our kids perceive it,” Jolie said.
“Yes, we have Shiloh and it’s been a wonderful experience, but we want to find another brother or sister in the world for our family.”
The actress said that she and Pitt make special time for each child, and that they enjoy the normal aspects of parenting.
“Really, the big special times are just like this morning, just very, just a lot of nothing together. Just sitting around coloring. We broke the coffee machine. We tried to fix it,” she said. “We were playing with the kids, just trying to find somebody’s bottle, change somebody’s diaper that’s, you know, gone leaky and just all that good stuff.”
Meanwhile, J.R. Rotem is trying to sneak as many women as he can into night clubs. Maybe someone should give him a lesson about what’s important in life.

Angelina Jolie is in Vogue

And she’s talking about her family in next month’s issue.
Below are excerpts from the cover story Angelina Jolie gave to Vogue, in which The Good Sheperd star opens up about everything from marriage to a certain gal named Jen.

On Brad Pitt:“Brad was a huge surprise to me. I, like most people, had a very distant impression of him from … the media. I am just as guilty! We push each other to be better. Even if it’s just a better bike rider or a better pilot. We’re constantly in competition with each other. He’s somebody I admire based on the way he lives his life. And that’s why I’m with him. [He is] the person closest to me.”
On their relationship:“[We] found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened [on the set of their Mr. & Mrs. Smith]. I think a few months in I realized, God, I can’t wait to get to work. Whether it was shooting a scene or arguing about a scene or gun practice or dance class or doing stunts - anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. Life developed in a way where we could be together, and where it felt like something we would do, we should do.
On marriage:“We are legally bound to our children, not to each other, and I think that’s the most important thing.”
On Jennifer Aniston:“We’ve, like, passed each other and said ‘hi’ briefly, shook hands. But not a real sit-down-and-talk kind of meeting.”
On Shiloh:“The day Shiloh came home…we looked around at three sleeping children and each other and thought, My God! Here we are! This is amazing! Couldn’t be happier! But …wow. We can’t even figure out how to get them all in the car.”
We’re not sure, Ang. But here’s one piece of advice: don’t let Nicole Richie drive it.

Brangelina Wax Wedding is Called Off

For the record: Ellen Pompeo really is getting married to Chris Ivery.
We make this point because sometimes marriages are arranged between wax figures, not human beings. Such was the case between the amazing Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
The faux pair were going to be married Wednesday during a wedding at Madame Tussaud’s Museum of Wax in Las Vegas. Seriously. However, reps for Brangelina called the absurd stunt off.
While the actual couple was visiting orphanages in India, Pitt’s rep, Cindy Guagenti, said:
“I personally found it a little odd that they were re-creating a wedding that never really happened.”
Gee, think so? Meanwhile, the wax George Clooney was slated to be the best man, while witnesses and guests would’ve included Liberace, John Wayne, and Ben Affleck - the fake ones, we assume.
Anyway. We’re glad the wedding didn’t happen. It wouldn’t been heart-breaking when the fake Pitt had an affair with the wax Abbie Cornish.

Angelina Jolie, Maddox Visit Refugees


As Brangelina deals with threats from America’s enemy, one half of this gorgeous duo is proving that nothing will stop her from helping those less fortunate.
Indeed, Angelina Jolie took a break from shooting her latest film, A Mighty Heart, and spent Saturday touring an Afghan Sikh refugee camp in New Delhi.
Jolie, a goodwill ambassador of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, took five-year-old son Maddox along as she visited refugees, listened as they played religious music, and chatted with students.
Roughly 9,500 Afghan Sikh fled Afghanistan for India after the Taliban seized power in 1996 and targeted non-Muslims.
The wife of Brad Pitt sat in a one-room home where a refugee from Myanmar lives with her three children. The woman, one of the 1,750 refugees who have fled Myanmar to India since 1982, told Jolie that she and her children left after her husband was arrested by the military government in Myanmar.
“I am grateful to the refugee families who spent time with me and shared their stories. They are remarkable, courageous people,” Jolie said in a statement released by the UNHCR.
On Sunday, Jolie met with Indian Junior External Affairs Minister Anand Sharma and praised India’s efforts to assist the refugees.
“The wonderful thing that I have learned since I have been in India is there are many, many needs for your own people and yet you have all been so gracious and been so open to so many refugees over the years,” the actress told reporters.
Oprah Winfrey and Bono couldn’t be prouder, we’re sure.

al-Qaeda Sends Threats to Brangelina

indsay Lohan, you better get over to Iraq quickly. Maybe the enemy will put you in its sights instead.
Right now, reports state that al-Qaeda is threating a far more beautiful and charitable target: Brangelina.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been shooting the film A Mighty Heart, based on the life of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was killed at the hands of al-Qaeda militants in Pakistan in 2002. Evidently, terrorist losers dont ‘t like that.
British security experts were flown to Pune earlier this week, after being alerted by neigbouring Pakistan that the couple might be targeted due to the political nature of the film.
After assessing the inputs on from various intelligence agencies, India has provided the couple with Y category security while in Pune, Intelligence Bureau sources said in New Delhi on Thursday. That’s a lot tighter security than Laguna Beach sluts place on their special areas.
In the movie, Jolie plays the role of Mariane, the widow of Pearl, who was working on a story on Islamic militancy at the time he was kidnapped. Actor Dan Futtermann will play the role of Daniel. Pitt, 43, makes a cameo in the film.
The Hollywood Gossip obviously wishes safe working conditions for everyone on set. We’d be willing to ship over Whitney Houston if it would distract Osama bin Laden from homicidal rage.

Angelina, Shiloh Out For a (Cute) Stroll

Seriously. How can anyone not love Brad Pitt. The guy is just so good looking, it’s almost like he could turn a straight man… Oh wait. Right. We’re talking about Brad Pitt’s cute daughter here, not the Ocean’s 11/12/13 star. Our bad.
Check out baby Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt (below). She was recently spotted with her mama, Angelina Jolie, in public — and man, is she a little cutie. So is Shiloh! Oh!

Team Brangelina is not only trying to save the world, but looking awesome at the same time. That’s how it ought to be, really. Making this planet a better place, a little bit at a time, and looking a heck of a lot better in doing so than any Sutton Pierce Federline pictures.

Brangelina Pledges 100K to Daniel Pearl Foundation

Go ahead and be deemed influential, Kate Moss.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will settle for being charitable.
The couple has made a $100,000 donation to the Daniel Pearl Foundation in memory of the American journalist who was kidnapped and eventually killed in Pakistan in February of 2002.

The gift, made through the recently formed Jolie-Pitt Foundation, was presented on Tuesday, which would have been the late Wall Street Journal reporter’s 43rd birthday.
“On this day our thoughts go out to Danny’s family,” Pitt and Jolie said in an exclusive statement released by their rep, Trevor Neilson, to People magazine. “The Daniel Pearl Foundation is celebrating this day, his birthday, with music festivals around the world. The festivals are a great reminder of not just Danny’s work as a journalist but of his life and his love of music.”
Pitt and Jolie arrived last week in Pune, India, to film the Pearl biopic, A Mighty Heart, based on the book written by the journalist’s widow, Mariane Pearl, whom Jolie portrays in the film.
At the time of his death, Pearl was investigating links between the terrorist group Al Qaeda and Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence.
We hope other celebrities follow the lead of Brangelina and donate funds to the cause; they would be far better used than your waste of talent, Lindsay Lohan.
