Madonna 'Living With Jesus'


http://www.showbizspy.com/files/imagecache/small/files/madonna150x150_120.jpg

Madonna has taken her relationship with Jesus Luz to the next level - she has reportedly asked him to move in with her.

The Holiday hitmaker, 50, has been linked to the 22-year-old Brazilian model since they posed together for a raunchy magazine shoot earlier in the year.

And the couple are now living together at Madonna's Upper West Side apartment in New York.

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Jesus has left his old life and his old friends behind. His whole world has turned on its head since he met Madonna.

"A few months ago he was living at his mom's place in one of the poorest cities in the world. Now he's got his feet under the table in a massive mansion block overlooking Central Park. And he's on the books of the biggest modeling agency in the world.

"Madonna has changed too. She's mellowed into a completely different person from the one who was married to Guy Ritchie. She never used to like cooking but now she has really got into it. They laugh a lot and enjoy staying in."

Jesus Luz follows Madonna's diet

http://www.ndtvmovies.com/images/showbiz/madonnanew.jpg

Pop superstar Madonna's new man Jesus Luz has converted to Kabbalah and she now is making him follow her diet.

According to sources, the 50-year-old Madonna is making the 22-year-old Brazilian model Luz follow her macrobiotic diet. He is not allowed to eat anything sugary, any dairy products or processed foods.

According to a source,"It's very important to Madonna that anyone close to her does two things - follow her religion and her diet. Occasionally she indulges with a slice of wheat-free wholegrain toast with sugar-free strawberry jam."

Guy Ritchie "Irritated" by Madonna's Beau

http://www.showbizspy.com/files/imagecache/small/files/madonnaguyprem_24.jpg

Guy Ritchie is "irritated" by the "close" relationship his children have with Madonna's new beau.

The Material Girl singer, 50, been linked to 22-year-old Brazilian model Jesus Luz since they posed together for a raunchy magazine shoot earlier in the year.

And according to Britain's Star magazine, Ritchie, 40, is annoyed that Jesus has been introduced in to the family.

A source tells the publication, "Jesus is only 22 and he's become like an older brother to eight-year-old Roco.

"They have a lot of fun together and Rocco is always telling him how much fun he is in their daily phone calls.

"It has been irritating to Guy, who has not really introduced another woman to his children yet, and he is furious at Madonna for bringing a virtual stranger so deep into his family."

Madonna 'considers' new adoption

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7946794.stm

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45572000/jpg/_45572308_003215086-1.jpg

Pop star Madonna may adopt another child from Malawi, she has told the country's newspaper, Nation.

The singer took baby David Banda from an orphanage in the region in 2006. His adoption was confirmed in 2008, despite some criticism from within the country.

Madonna told the paper that Malawian friends had suggested she adopt again.

"It's something I have been considering, but would only do if I had the support of the Malawian people and the Government," she said.

Writing in response to emailed questions from the paper's readers she said: "Many people — especially our Malawian friends — say that David should have a Malawian brother or sister."

'Role model'

Critics accused the Malawian government of sidestepping laws banning foreign adoptions in order to allow the celebrity to take 13-month-old David home with her.

After the adoption was legalised, Madonna said the difficulties had arisen because "this adoption essentially was the beginning of the creation of adoption laws in Malawi".

She hoped it would make it easier for others to adopt from the country and explained : "I am the template or the role model, so to speak, for future adoptions."

David's father, Yohane, placed him in an orphanage after the death of the boy's mother.

After the adoption was finalised, he told reporters: "I am glad it's all over, I am glad David has a new, good home."

The singer told Nation she was keeping her son in touch with his roots.

"It is a big priority for me to educate my son about the world, but always to stay connected to his Malawian culture," she said.

"He has a big map of Africa in his room with lots of arrows pointing to Malawi."

'Birthing pains'

In the newspaper, Madonna was also questioned about her divorce from David's adoptive father, Guy Ritchie, which became final in November 2008.

She replied: "Everything between us is very amicable... We both agree that our children should always feel a deep connection with both their parents.

"It is our responsibility to give them that foundation."

Madonna made a documentary film I Am Because We Are about orphans in Malawi, a country where the Aids epidemic has left more than a million children without parents.

She described the impact of the media criticism she had received for removing David Banda from his home country as "painful" and "a big struggle".

"I sort of went through my own kind of birthing pains with dealing with the press on my front doorstep, accusing me of kidnapping, or whatever you want to call it," she continued.

The star also has two biological children - Rocco, her son with Guy Ritchie, and Lourdes, whose father is Carlos Leon.

So she's going to have 3 then? That's absolutely ridiculous in my opinion.

I think it's a good idea to release a greatest hits collection. The other one's weren't monster hits and if this is marketed properly - it will be charting and selling well.

Madonna and Jesus 'row over her hang-up with his mobile phone'

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1163359/Madonna-Jesus-row-hang-mobile-phone.html

IT had always seemed an unlikely pairing.

So perhaps it is no surprise that cracks appear to have already formed in the fledgling relationship between Brazilian model Jesus Luz, 22, and Madonna, who is 28 years his senior.

The couple, who have been dating since December, are believed to have had their first fight - over Madonna’s insistence that Jesus not use his mobile phone.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/03/20/article-0-03FE4EBE000005DC-215_468x523.jpg

Tensions came to a head a few days ago, after the singer walked in on Jesus chatting on the phone to his family.

'And she just turned on him,’ a source said. ‘She told him it was rude for him to take a phone call in front of her.’
But Luz stood his ground and told Madonna she was being unreasonable.
‘He stood up for himself and they had quite a heated argument,’ the source added. ‘Madonna agreed to let him answer the mobile when she’s around, but only in emergencies.’

However, the source claimed Jesus is now furious Madonna continues to use her own mobile.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/03/20/article-0-03D052F7000005DC-130_468x384.jpg

‘If her phone rings and she wants to take the call, she’ll do it,’ the source said. ‘This is not a relationship of equals.’
Madonna’s controlling nature is also thought to have caused Luz to fall out with his family.
‘His family claims they always know when he’s with her because they can’t get him on the phone,’ the source said. ‘And it’s true. He’ll see his phone ringing and he just has to let it go.’

MADONNA AND CHILD

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/03/21/madonna-and-child-115875-21215087/

You know that you are getting old when the mums of Madonna's boyfriends start looking hot.

Cristiane Regina da Silva, the 37-year-old mother of Jesus Luz, 22, has been remarkably generous about seeing her son turned into a Hispanic Ken Doll by a dirty old lady of 50.

Madonna has got off lightly for this act of grotesque cradle snatching. David Walliams was mercilessly ribbed when he started dating Lauren Budd, 18, and the pair have now broken up.

Walliams and Budd were a lovely looking couple but a cruel and mocking media drove them apart.

Madonna and Jesus Luz make a grotesque sight - when they get up close and personal, it looks like Jesus is helping her across the road.

It is often said that men can get away with taking lovers of an inappropriate age and women can't.

These days, it is exactly the other way round.

Madonna tells Australian nanny to leave

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,25224954-5005961,00.html

AN AUSTRALIAN nanny who cares for pop superstar Madonna's adopted son David Banda has quit her job.

Britain's Mail on Sunday newspaper reported the nanny, identified only as Angela, handed in her notice earlier this month in New York and was told by the 50-year-old singer to leave before her notice period was up.

"Angela is distraught,'' one source told the newspaper.

"Madonna told her the news two hours before she was due to go on her annual month-long leave.

"Angela was incredibly upset and very surprised because she had been told that Madonna is due to adopt a second baby from Malawi very soon.''

The source said Madonna had been "furious'' with Angela for leaving.

"All Madonna's employees work incredibly long hours, so it's no surprise that Angela had had enough,'' the source said.

"If you work for Madonna you are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There's no such thing as a weekend.''

Madonna has two biological children, 12-year-old daughter Lourdes and eight-year-old son Rocco, and is believed to be planning to adopt another child from David's homeland of Malawi.

A spokesman for Madonna, who recently split from her second husband Guy Ritchie, told the newspaper: "I do not comment on household issues but I can assure you that David and Madonna's other two children are very well taken care of at all times.''

Madonna: 'I will do requests'

Her business skill have earned her the title Material Girl, but it seems Madonna, the world's biggest selling female artist, may be having a crisis of confidence when it comes to picking tracks for her eagerly-awaited Greatest Hits album.

Mandrake hears that Guy Oseray, the 50-year-old star's manager, has taken the unsual step of using Twitter to ask fans which tracks should be included. In a posting last week, he wrote: "Working on Madonna's Greatest Hits album. Any tracks that you think MUST be on?"

Some American fans have been sceptical about the release of the star's third major compilation album, claiming that she hasn't had enough US top ten hits in recent years to justify another compilation.

Madonna adopts with Jesus?

http://entertainment.stv.tv/home/83817-madonna-adopts-with-jesus/

Madonna's Brazilian model boyfriend claims he is ready to adopt a child with her, even though the pair have only been dating for three months.

Madonna's boyfriend wants to adopt a child with her.

Brazilian model Jesus Luz, 22, has only been dating the 50-year-old singer for three months, but is adamant he is ready to start a family with her.

Jesus' ex-girlfriend Catharina Franca said: "He adores kids but he accepts they could not have children of their own, and is talking about the possibility of adopting with Madonna."

Madonna already has three children - biological daughter Lourdes, 12, son Rocco, eight, and adopted three-year-old son David from Malawi - and recently admitted she is considering adopting another child from Africa.

Jesus and Madonna met on a steamy shoot for W magazine in Brazil last year and have since become inseparable, with Jesus moving into Madonna's New York apartment and attending Kabbalah - a mystical off-shoot of Judaism - classes with her.

Catharina claims Jesus told her: "Madonna has an amazing body, is a sexy, kind person and a great mother. The difference in our ages means nothing. She looks like a 30-year-old and has a youthful personality to go with it. I love her and nothing else matters."

Catharina - who dated Jesus for 18 months - insists the model is serious about Madonna, and refuted claims he is dating her to try and up his profile.

She told Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper: "He's not with Madonna for her money or fame. He's with her because he loves her.

"They have a lot in common. They are both very into the way they look. Jesus can be very vain. If Madonna looked like a normal 50-year-old he wouldn't look twice at her."

Meanwhile, days after enjoying an intimate dinner date with supermodel Elle Macpherson, Madonna's estranged husband Guy Ritchie has been seen kissing a mystery woman in a private members' bar at London restaurant Quo Vadis.

A source said: "They were sitting on a couch near the fireplace and looked very intimate and were kissing at one point.

"They were acting very much like a couple. He had his hand on her leg most of the night. She was the prettiest woman in the bar."

New man says Madonna has mind of a 30-year-old

The 50-year-old pop star Madonna's much younger new man Jesus Luz said he fell for her because "she has the body and mind of a 30-year-old".

According to mirror.co.uk, Luz is not affected by the 28-year age gap. He has also shocked his family by revealing that he wants to settle down with Madonna and even have a family of adopted children.

He told his 22-year-old ex-girlfriend Catharina Franca that "Madonna has an amazing body, is a sexy, kind person and a great mother. The difference in our ages means nothing. She looks like a 30-year-old and has a youthful personality to go with it."

"I love her and nothing else matters."

Madonna's toy boy Jesus Luz insists he didn't cheat on her

http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/feb2009/0/4/6EEC1F8F-F804-9A34-86F8C58FB77C7471.jpg

Madonna’s toy boy lover Jesus Luz has denied cheating on the Queen Of Pop with a young lingerie model – because his mum was in the room.

Jesus, who met Madge on a photoshoot in December, admits that he was talking to Luciana Costa during a party in Brazilian city Rio De Janeiro earlier this month.

The 22-year-old said: “ My mum was at my side and never would I become intimate with a woman if my mum was nearby.”

Jesus’ mum Cristiane Regins da Silva, 37, gave birth to her son aged just 14.

She’s previous told us here at the Mirror: "My son came home so happy after his first photo session with Madonna. He opened a bottle of champagne."

Madge of approval

Good Lord! Baby Jesus's romance with Madonna has got the thumbs up from his father - even though he is four years younger than the woman his son is dating.

Luiz Heitor, 46, said: "When Cupid strikes, age doesn't matter. My son told me his relationship with Madonna is serious. People speak about their difference in ages, this is nonsense.

"I believe she was first attracted to him by his handsomeness but his name helped." Yeah!

Madge to adopt another child

http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/my/yplus/csp_pcm_bt_dsl/cms1.my.sp1.yahoo.com/uploads/mar2009/madonnaitn200.jpg

Madonna has filed papers in advance of adopting a second child from Malawi, officials have confirmed.

Reports suggest that the 50-year-old singer will travel to the region over the weekend with a possible court hearing coming as soon as Monday.

Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg declined to comment on the issue, but officials in both the US and Malawi have said that an adoption bid is under way.

An official at the Malawian welfare department said that adoption documents had been filed by the singer.

Madonna has established ties with the country over the past few years, setting up the Raising Malawi charity to raise the profile of the plight its people.

According to local reports, the singer said she would consider adopting another child after adopting David Banda in 2006, but only with the support of the Malawian people.

His adoption was shrouded in controversy after critics claimed it was illegal. The Malawi government was accused of skirting laws that ban non-residents from adopting children in the country.

Madonna is expected to bring David on the trip and visit a site where her charity will start building a multi-million dollar school for girls, the officials said.

David's father, Yohane Banda, said that he may see his son next week.

Mr Banda said: "Someone from Raising Malawi visited me last week and told me that my son may be visiting me sometime next week. I am delighted, I want to see my son."

Madonna, who began adoption proceedings in 2006, took David when he was 13-months-old after his father had placed him in an orphanage following the death of his wife.

She has said he was happy to be involved in a case that might pave the way for more adoptions in Malawi. An estimated one million children in the country have been orphaned by Aids.

Child rights activist John Soo Phiri said Madonna may find it more difficult to adopt another child as a single parent after her divorce from film director Guy Ritchie.

"She will have to prove that as a single parent she still has the abilities to raise another child alone," he said.

Madonna loses faith in Jesus and dumps her toyboy lover

http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/mar2009/4/6/madonna-jesus-all-pics-rex-379051658.jpg

Madonna is single again... after an unholy bust-up with Jesus.

The queen of pop has sensationally ditched her toyboy lover and announced that she's "glad" to be single again.

It comes after a row over 50-year-old Madonna's commitment to the 22-year-old Brazilian model Jesus Luz.

We are told that she declined his invite to meet his family - including his mum who is 13 years Madonna's junior - on May 10, which is Mother's Day in Brazil.

Madge's cold response, we are told, was enough for him to throw his toys out of his manger. An insider said: "It was a huge wakeup call for Madonna that Jesus really isn't the man for her. Things were moving too fast and they were practically living in each other's pockets.

"Jesus felt so rejected when Madge was dragging her heels over the family meeting in Brazil.

"Mother's Day is a big deal for him as it's tradition for all of the Luz matriarchs to be celebrated, including his 37-year-old mother. But for Madonna the reality of the situation has come crashing down - it just seemed inappropriate to be spending Mother's Day with him."

Feisty Madonna broke the news to the world during a 10-minute chat with fans and her manager Guy Oseary on the social networking site Twitter.

One fan wrote: "Hello Madonna honey am glad you are single again - you made your best music as a single woman."

To which Madonna apparently replied: "Not as glad as I am." Ouch. We bet it's a blessed relief now that Jesus has gone - for it paves the way for Madonna to adopt another child.

She is set to be granted a "temporary custody order" for the new baby she is adopting from Malawi next week - four-year-old Mercy.

A senior official in the High Court in the capital Lilongwe told us that "her appearance in court is just symbolic - all her papers are in order".

The notice does not indicate the name of the baby but says "Madonna will appear without a partner or spouse".

Madonna is expected to bring three-year-old David Banda - who she adopted in Malawi in 2006 - with her to meet his new sister.

Mercy is being cared for by a nanny at Kumbali Lodge, where Madonna has stayed on her previous visits to the country and a source told us: "Mercy has been handed over to Madonna's people, who are already at the lodge, and is being cared for by a nanny."

However, we have no news on who is caring for poor Jesus...

That is true actually, it would have done much better with promotion and a music video. I was gutted when I read that there wasn't going to be a video for it.

Madonna’s former nanny tells of her strain on Facebook

The nanny in charge of Madonna’s adopted three-year-old son David Banda has hinted at how the strain of working long hours drove her to quit.

Although Miss Jacobsen spent last week trying to scotch talk of serious differences, entries on her Facebook page suggested otherwise.

‘Not putting up [with] this s*** any more,’ wrote the 29-year-old Australian, probably referring to her working conditions.
‘Never have, never will. Standing up for my rights regardless of consequence. Sick of always being the one who compromises.’

A month earlier, before a weekend off, she said she intended to ‘make the most of my 48 *******ing hours of freedom’.

She has returned home to Melbourne.

Madonna : Madge ‘bans toyboy lover from answering his phone calls’

http://www.entertainmentandshowbiz.com/madonna-madge-bans-toyboy-lover-from-answering-his-phone-calls-2009032913577

Queen of Pop Madonna has reportedly banned her alleged toyboy lover Jesus Luz from attending his phone in front of her.

According to a source, the 50-year-old singer had a heated argument with the 22-year-old Brazilian model after he answered a call while she was in the same room, and has now restricted him to accepting emergency calls only.

“She just turned on him. She told him it was rude for him to take a phone call in front of her. He stood up for himself and they had quite a heated argument,” Herald Sun quoted the source, as saying.

“Madonna agreed to let him answer the mobile when she’s around, but only in emergencies.

“His family claims they always know when he’s with her because they can’t get him on the phone. And it’s true. He’ll see his phone ringing and he just has to let it go,” the source added.

However, the ‘Material Girl’ hitmaker herself chats away on her phone whenever she wants

The source told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper: “If her phone rings and she wants to take the call, she’ll do it. This is not a relationship of equals.”

Madonna in Malawi for adoption

http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/my/yplus/csp_pcm_bt_dsl/cms1.my.sp1.yahoo.com/uploads/mar2009/madonna200.jpg

U.S. pop singer Madonna arrived in Malawi on Sunday ahead of a court examination this week of her bid to adopt a second Malawian child, a girl called Mercy James, officials said.

"She disembarked from the cargo area and jumped into her convoy," an airport official said.

An employee said Madonna had checked into an exclusive lodge, accompanied by her son David Banda, whom she adopted in 2006 from the same Mchinji Home of Hope orphanage where 4-year-old Mercy lives.

The employee said David's biological father Yohane Banda was at the lodge to see his son.

Some Malawians opposed David's adoption, accusing the government of skirting laws that ban non-residents from adopting children. Critics say Mercy's adoption would also violate Malawi's laws.

Court clerks confirmed the name of the child last week and said Madonna or her associates were expected to appear in court on Monday for the adoption proceedings.

The local Nation newspaper this month quoted Madonna, 50, as saying Malawian friends had told her David needed a brother or sister and that she would consider adopting another child, but only with the support of the Malawian people.

Madonna took David when he was 13-months-old after his father had placed him in an orphanage following the death of his wife.

The singer has said despite the controversy around David's adoption, she was happy to be involved in a case that might pave the way for more adoptions in Malawi, where an estimated one million children have been orphaned by AIDS.

David's life with Madonna is far removed from his village of Lipunga, where the staple food is maize and residents cook their meals on open fires.

Madonna was divorced last year from British film director Guy Ritchie, but says this will not deprive their three children of either parent.

Star begins an appeal

http://www.watoday.com.au/world/star-begins-an-appeal-20090404-9sgk.html

MADONNA has filed a notice to appeal against a failed bid to adopt a second child from Malawi, after the country's High Court warned that the case could open the door to trafficking in children.

Hearings on the appeal are expected to start this week after the court on Friday turned down the US singer's request to adopt a three-year-old girl who would have become a sibling to another adopted Malawian toddler.

The appeal notice was filed after Madonna, 50, was briefed about the outcome of the adoption application.

Madonna did not attend the earlier closed court hearing, where Judge Esmie Chondo addressed concerns among rights groups that Malawi's courts could inadvertently expose the nation's children to the threat of human traffickers.

"I must confess that there's a gripping temptation to throw caution to the wind and grant an adoption in the hope that there will be a difference in the life of just one child," Judge Chondo said.

"By removing the very safeguard that is supposed to protect our children, the courts by their pronouncements could actually facilitate trafficking of children by some unscrupulous individuals."

The recently divorced singer and actress arrived in the southern African state last week, with daughter Lourdes, 12, and Banda, 3, whom she adopted in 2006 after seeing him in a Malawian orphanage.

Madonna parties in Malawi

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20090404/ten-madonna-parties-in-malawi-5f8abb3.html

Madonna is apparently throwing a party in Malawi in a bid to swallow her disappointment that a judge rejected her application to adopt a young orphan.

Traditional dancers have arrived at the luxury lodge where the pop diva is staying, as well as government officials and members of staff of her Raising Malawi charity.

Amid strict security, there was no immediate confirmation on whether it was a farewell party.

Air traffic control authorities have granted clearance for Madonna's jet to depart but the star stayed in the lodge all day.

Her lawyer has said she will appeal against Friday's judgment that she could not adopt a three-year-old girl because she had not been resident in Malawi.

Star Madonna flies out of Malawi

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45630000/jpg/_45630391_madonna1_bodyap.jpg

US pop star Madonna has left Malawi on a private jet after failing to adopt a second child from the country.

Last week a Malawian court rejected the adoption over residency rules but the singer's lawyer has said that she will appeal against the ruling.

The 50-year-old singer applied to adopt Chifundo James, whose name translates into English as Mercy, on Monday.

Chifundo is in the same orphanage that previously housed David Banda, Madonna's first adopted child.

Had her application been successful, Chifundo would have been a sister to David and her biological children Lourdes and Rocco.

Madonna's application was rejected because of a requirement that prospective parents be resident in the southern African state for 18 to 24 months.

No date has been set for a court hearing to appeal against the judge's ruling.

Kid that Madonna couldn't adopt cries for her

London (IANS): The baby who pop star Madonna had hoped to adopt cried all night as she was sent back to the orphanage. "Where's my mummy?" she asked.

The baby Mercy James was surprised as Madonna had to leave Malawi after her adoption bid was turned down, the sun.co.uk reports.

The boss of the orphanage Annie Chikhwaza said: "It's devastating for Mercy. She had bonded with her new family and was calling for Madonna, saying, 'Where is my Mummy?' She couldn't understand where Lola, David and Rocco had gone - she thought they were playing hide and seek. It broke my heart to see her crying out for David as they'd become inseparable. Madonna said she will do whatever it takes to get her back."

A source from the luxury lodge where Madonna stayed said: "Madonna was up at dawn cradling Mercy, gently soothing her and making her laugh. You could see how upset she was when she had to say goodbye. She could barely wrench herself away."

Madonna donates 'substantial sum' to earthquake victims

http://www.nme.com/news/madonna/43940

Her grandparents lived in the city hit by tremor.

Madonna has reportedly made a “substantial donation” to victims of Monday’s earthquake in Italy.

The Material Girl, who is of Italian heritage, apparently donated around half a million dollars to the appeal, as her grandparents lived in the hamlet of Pacentro until 1919.

Pacentro’s mayor appealed to Madonna personally for help after more than 200 people died in the devastating quake in the Abruzzo region of Italy.

"I am happy to lend a helping hand to the town that my ancestors are from," she told People.com. "My heart goes out to the families that have lost loved ones or their homes."

The singer was last week denied permission to adopt a four-year-old girl from Malawi.

Madonna, Ritchie in 'tearful conversation'

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a152286/madonna-ritchie-in-tearful-conversation.html

Madonna and ex-husband Guy Ritchie shared a tearful telephone conversation after the singer's bid to adopt a second child from Malawi was denied last week, it has been claimed.

The couple's child Rocco was speaking to Madonna on the phone before he passed the handset to Ritchie when the singer - known to pals as Em - burst into tears, The Sun reports.

An insider said: "Rocco was speaking to her and suddenly turned to Guy and said, 'Daddy, Daddy. Mummy is crying.' He then handed Guy the phone.

"It's unusual for Em to turn on the waterworks but this has really upset her. Explaining to Rocco why Mercy wasn't coming home has been difficult."

They added: "Guy was incredibly sympathetic, calmed her down and told her to be happy with the family she had."

Ritchie and Madonna are said to have had further conversations regarding the possibility of appealing the decision made by the court in Malawi.

Madonna wants a home in Malawi

http://sify.com/movies/fullstory.php?id=14880102

Pop superstar Madonna wants to build a home in the African country of Malawi though her application to adopt three-year-old Mercy from the country has been turned down.

Madonna's attempt to adopt was denied last week as she had not lived in the country for 18 months. So now she is having architects come up with plans for a house there and believes it will be good for her other adopted son David Banda to reconnect with his birthplace, reports thesun.co.uk.

A source said: "Madonna has a big, beautiful plot of land over there already. She's planning to build a girl's school in the Chinkhota village and those designs are well under way. But she's gone back to the designers and asked if they could accommodate a family home on the plot or on adjacent land."

Madonna's Mercy mission - What went wrong?

http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celebrity-news/315667/madonna-s-mercy-mission-what-went-wrong/1/

The star's left distraught as her two-year plan to adopt her beloved Malawian girl fails

Madonna’s been left ‘shocked and heartbroken’ after being refused permission to adopt little Chifundo ‘Mercy’ James from Malawi, Now can reveal.

The singer, who was confident that the Malawian court would rule in her favour, was so stunned when she learnt last Friday that judge Esme Chombo had ruled against the adoption that she was at a complete loss for words.

‘Madonna had every confidence that she’d be flying home with Mercy, so when the Malawian court ruled against her she felt shocked and powerless,’ says a source.

‘People think she’s just tried to get her overnight, but it’s actually been over a two-year period.'

The 50-year-old star had her heart set on adopting Mercy as a sister to David Banda, who she adopted three years ago.

But Madonna was branded ‘a bully’ by Undule Mwakasungula, national co-ordinator of the Malawi Human Rights Consultative Committee. Child advocacy groups also accused her of abusing her wealth and power to get special treatment from Malawian authorities and bypass a standard assessment period of between 18 and 24 months.

Despite that, Madonna believed she’d showed her commitment when she set up child welfare foundation Raising Malawi after her first visit to the country in 2006 – and she appeared to have the support of government ministers and most ordinary Malawians.

Mercy’s 18-year-old mother was unmarried and died soon after she gave birth, while her father is believed to be alive, but has little contact with his daughter.

‘It’s widely believed in Malawi that Madonna would provide a better life for Mercy and most people are disappointed by the ruling,’ says our source. ‘Madonna is a determined woman, though, so no one expects that she will take this verdict lying down.’

See the full story about Madonna in Now magazine dated 13 April 2009 - out now!

Madonna 'still keen on adoption'

Madonna has told a Malawian newspaper that she wants to ensure the young girl she failed to adopt grows up in "a loving family environment".

A judge rejected the adoption of the girl, four, over residency rules but Madonna's lawyer has lodged an appeal.

The singer wants the chance to provide Chifundo James - whose name translates as Mercy - with a home, education and healthcare, the Nation on Sunday says.

The paper said Madonna had responded to questions it submitted in an e-mail.

Chifundo is in the same orphanage that previously housed David Banda, Madonna's first adopted child.

If the 50-year-old singer's application had been successful, Chifundo would have been a sister to David and her biological children Lourdes and Rocco.

"I want to provide Mercy with a home, a loving family environment and the best education and healthcare possible," the newspaper quotes Madonna as saying.

"And it's my hope that she, like David, will one day return to Malawi and help the people of their country."

Madonna's application was rejected because of a requirement that prospective parents be resident in the southern African state for 18 to 24 months.

No date has been set for a court hearing to appeal against the judge's ruling.

"Though I have been advised that I cannot publicly discuss the pending appeal regarding my desire to adopt Mercy, I do want to say how much I appreciate the level of support that I have received from the people of Malawi and my friends around the world," Madonna reportedly said.

Madonna buys $40 million New York home

http://www.nme.com/news/madonna/44034

Madonna has reportedly bought a new home in New York City, spending $40 million on the property.

The home is a four-storey Georgian mansion on East 81st Street with over 20 rooms, and was originally on the market for $5 million more.

According to a report in the New York Post, Madonna may regret the purchase as the house is located above the Lexington Avenue subway, and noise from the trains frequently irks residents.

The house has a large garden, nine fireplaces and a wine cellar as well as 13 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms, and Madonna reportedly plans major renovations.

Recent tabloid reports say that she may build a home in Malawi after a judge ruled she could not adopt a second child from the country because she does not live there.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg this morning said that he would not be sending Madonna a thank you card for her purchase, but does “plan to send her a bill."

Madonna 'depressed' over failed adoption

Madonna is reportedly depressed after her application to adopt a Malawian girl was rejected.

The 'Miles Away' singer has allegedly stopped eating and exercising after a court ruled against the adoption of four-year-old Mercy James.

"She has abandoned her strict macrobiotic diet and is virtually eating nothing. She has even stopped training since she returned from Malawi and seems to be in a trance a lot of the time," a source told The Express.

The star is said to have lost 5lbs since returning to London and is struggling to control her emotions in public.

"Madonna attended a Passover dinner in London held by members of her Kabbalah faith and broke down in tears about Mercy," the source added.

"She looked wiped out, telling guests she felt weak from lack of sleep and exercise. She said she felt too low to train which, for her, is unheard of."

The 50-year-old star reportedly shared a tearful phone call with ex-husband Guy Ritchie and has vowed to appeal the court's decision.

Madonna hospitalised after horse-riding accident

http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00510/madonna__02_510416a.jpg

Madonna does not have much luck when it comes to riding horses.

The 50-year-old pop icon has been hospitalised after falling from a horse while riding in New York on Saturday – her second horse-riding accident in four years.

Madonna received “minor injuries and bruises” during the accident which occurred while she was riding at the Hamptons estate of celebrity photographer Steven Klein on Saturday.

Her publicist Liz Rosenberg blamed the paparazzi for the accident, saying she was thrown off the horse after it had become startled by photographers who jumped out of some bushes.

"Madonna who was thrown off a horse earlier today has just been released from Southampton Hospital with minor injuries and bruises," Ms Rosenberg said in a statement released on Saturday. "The accident occurred when the horse Madonna was riding was startled by paparazzi who jumped out of the bushes to photograph the singer who was visiting friends on Eastern Long Island over the weekend. Madonna will be having further tests and continues to remain under observation by doctors."

It is the second horse-riding accident involving the American singer in recent years. In 2005 Madonna cracked three ribs and broke her collarbone and hand when she was thrown from a horse while riding at her estate at Wiltshire, south-west England, on her birthday.

She later described that accident as “the most painful event of my life”. It was also blamed in media reports as the catalyst for the breakdown of her marriage to British film director Guy Ritchie, who she divorced in November.

Madonna was visiting Klein at his Bridgehampton estate in the Hamptons, a popular holiday destination for the rich and famous on the east end of Long Island.

According to the New York Post, Madonna was dressed in a full riding outfit, including a helmet, and was performing jumps in front of a group of about ten people when the accident occurred. Her rumoured boyfriend Jesus Luz, 22, and her two sons Rocco, eight, and three-year-old David Banda were with her at the time.

Klein has photographed Madonna many times over the years, and in 2006 shot the pop icon in a series of images with horses for a spread in W Magazine titled “Madonna Rides Again”, just seven months after her first riding accident.

Saturday’s accident caps off a turbulent few months for Madonna, who announced she was separating from Ritchie in October.

Earlier this month she became embroiled in another controversy while trying to adopt her second child from Malawi. A judge unexpectedly refused Madonna’s application to adopt a girl named Mercy, on the grounds that the singer is not a resident of the African country. Madonna is appealing the decision.

Madonna Dating Man Called Moses

http://cdn.showbizspy.com/static/2009/04/madonnamercy3.jpg

Despite reports earlier this week that Madonna had rekindled her romance with Brazilian model Jesus Luz, it has been claimed that the Material Girl is now dating Jewish millionaire businessman Abraham Moses Schimmel.

And at 44, Moses — who is also known as Marc in business circles – is double Jesus’ age.

“It’s bizarre, you couldn’t find two men more different,” a source tells the News of The World. “Jesus isn’t happy about her relationship with Marc, but she enjoys his company.

“They are both divorced with kids and there’s a deep spiritual connection that neither of them have ever experienced.

“Everyone thinks they would be great together. Marc’s ready to take things to the next level. He knows Madonna needs time, but he doesn’t think Jesus is right for her.

“Madonna doesn’t want to rush into anything serious but Marc has been brilliant for her. He’s been her rock over the breakdown of her adoption in Malawi.”

Photographer denies Madonna horse claims

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a153228/photographer-denies-madonna-horse-claims.html

A freelance photographer has denied claims from Madonna's spokesperson that the star fell off her horse on Saturday because she was startled by the paparazzi.

Madonna was reportedly hospitalised after the incident and sustained minor injuries and bruises in the fall.

Thomas Hinton told Newsday: "As far as I'm concerned, the only photographer present when the accident happened was [her host] Steven Klein.

"If a photographer startled a horse, I'm thinking we would have seen the pictures by now."

He added: "That would be such an egregious thing to do, to trespass and startle a horse. The police would have been looking for a photographer."

Hinton said that he was at the scene before the fall but left because his view was obscured by bushes.

When he returned after the accident, he said that Klein and his staff stood in his line of vision to block photographs, but Hinton added that Klein did not confront him and that both parties were "polite with each other".

Madonna gets appeal date in adoption battle for Malawian toddler Mercy James

http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/apr2009/8/7/sunday-mirror-image-7-698437882.jpg

Madonna is preparing to fight the next stage in her battle to adopt Malawian toddler Mercy James.

Her appeal to take the four-year-old girl into her family will be heard by three Supreme Court judges in the African republic on May 4.

The pop queen was initially refused permission because she did not meet residency requirements.

The new hearing will be held in private and Madonna, 50, who already has an adopted Malawian son, David Banda, three, does not need to attend in person.

Malawi requires prospective parents to live in the country for 18 to 24 months while child welfare authorities assess their suitability - a rule that was waived when Madonna was allowed to take David to London in 2006.

Madonna's lawyer Alan Chinula said he was hopeful the appeal would succeed because the ruling was based on an "archaic" law.

At the initial hearing, the court said it feared setting a bad precedent.

But the judge did not question Madonna's good intentions, and praised the singer's charity work to feed, educate and provide medical care for Malawi's orphans.

Madonna says she just wants to give Mercy a loving home and the best education and health care money can buy. She added: "It's my hope that she, like David, will one day return to Malawi and help the people of her country."

Madonna records new track with Oakenfold

http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/08/37/160x120_ss_madonna.jpg


Madonna has recorded two new tracks with dance producer Paul Oakenfold.

The singer has scheduled two weeks of studio time to record new material for her upcoming greatest hits collection, according to her publicist Guy Oseary.

"Had a good day with Madonna in the studio yesterday," Oseary wrote on her website.

"She worked on an amazing dance track with Paul Oakenfold producing - no title yet but will keep you posted. She also started a second one, so we are hoping to have two tracks done this week.

"Next week she is working with another producer on one more track. Two of the tracks from these sessions will be on the Greatest Hits album."

Madonna's upcoming collection will mark her final album with Warner Records after she reportedly signed a $120 million (£86.6m) deal with concert promoter Live Nation.

Madonna in bad state, stops eating!

Madonna is so depressed after the rejection of her plea to adopt four-year-old Mercy James from Malawi that she has stopped eating and exercising.

According to reports, the singer’s friends are worried over her condition following the adoption-rejection by a Malawi court, reports The China Daily.

“She has abandoned her strict macrobiotic diet and is virtually eating nothing. She has even stopped training since she returned from Malawi and seems to be in a trance a lot of the time,” a source told Britain’s Daily Express newspaper.

Madonna, who is a follower of Kabbalah, has allegedly lost 5 lbs after the court ruling, and has struggled to keep her emotions in check while in public.

The source added: “Madonna attended a Passover dinner in London held by members of her Kabbalah faith and broke down in tears about Mercy. She looked wiped out, telling guests she felt weak from lack of sleep and exercise. She said she felt too low to train which, for her, is unheard of.”

The Material Girl, who recently got divorced from film director Guy Ritchie, travelled to the African country in the hope of giving a home to Mercy at the end of March.

However, her application was rejected because she had not lived in Malawi for 18 months, which is a pre-requisite by law.

Now, the 50-year-old pop star is filing an appeal against the court’s decision, so that Mercy could join her other children - Lourdes, 12, Rocco, eight, and David Banda, three - who she also adopted from Malawi. (ANI)

Madonna tops hardworking mothers list

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a153959/madonna-tops-hardworking-mothers-list.html

Madonna has topped a list of Hollywood's most hardworking mothers after reportedly earning $110 million (£74.8 million pounds) in 2008.

Actresses Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow came second and third respectively on the Forbes list, which was released on Friday.

Lauren Streib, who helped compile the data, told Reuters that the 50-year-old singer "had an incredible year".

"She had the top tour of any musician...The tour sold out around the world. So it wasn't surprising as much as it is a commentary on how successful her year was," she said.

Witherspoon earned an estimated $24 million (£16.3 million), while Paltrow had earnings of around $20 million (£13.6 million). The list is based on estimated earnings of Hollywood mothers with at least one child.

Madonna praises Oakenfold collaboration

Madonna is reportedly delighted with the material that she and DJ Paul Oakenfold have produced.

The 50-year-old singer returned to the studio this week after sustaining minor injuries in a horse riding accident last week in The Hamptons, New York.

Manager Guy Oseary confirmed that Oakenfold was among producers that the star would be working with for her greatest hits collection.

According to WENN, Madonna wrote on Oseary's Twitter page: "Paul Oakenfold is running around the studio naked...because I won't put the air on...it's hot in here...but the music is hotter – M."

Data collected during 2008 named Madonna as Hollywood's most hardworking mother after she earned an estimated $110 million (£74.8 million) last year.

Guy Ritchie has reportedly purchased a four-storey house in London that is 200 yards from his ex-wife Madonna's mansion.

The RocknRolla director bought the home to be near his sons when the singer brings them to Britain, The Sun reports.

A friend said: "Madonna and Guy are getting on better than they have in years."

They added that Ritchie had been "a rock" in his support for his former partner after her failed bid to adopt a second child from Malawi.

Nude Madonna pics go on show


Pictures of a nude Madonna taken as an unknown 20-year-old have gone on display.

The snaps were taken in 1979 by photographer Martin Schreiber before she maDe her name as a singer.

He described the struggling, fledgling star as having "a fantastic body. Perfect."

Madonna, who was doing some part-time modelling to pay her way through dance school, was paid $30 for the shoot.

Schreiber added: "She was pliant but I would say very quiet, maybe shy I'm not sure.

"I use the word taciturn, kind of moody, I felt. Not really into it but she was doing it. She was making a living doing it."

Schreiber claims the pair became lovers after Madonna, with little money and few friends, moved into his flat for two weeks.

The photographs of the young Madonna are part of the Brighton Festival Fringe and are on sale for £3,400.

The Naked Madonna Playboy Photos 30th Anniversary Exhibition ends on June 28.

Madonna 'house-hunting in Hamptons'

Madonna is hunting for a house in the Hamptons, reports say.

The singer recently signed a contract for a townhouse in the area and stayed at the posh Wolffer Estate Vineyards in Sagaponack, according to the New York Post.

However, the popstar was not interested in purchasing the 12,000 square foot Tuscan-style villa, preferring to utilise its winery to board her horses.

Madonna reportedly presented the estate with a ten-page list of demands, including a provision that "no-one could be in the riding ring at the same time as her", a source told the publication.

"It was laughable," the source said. "They turned her down flat."

She then boarded her horses at photographer Steven Klein’s residence, where paparazzi snapped her when she fell off a mare three weeks ago.

Undeterred, she has apparently been on the lookout for homes in the East as well as in the Westchester Bedford area.

Madonna’s representative Liz Rosenberg denied the existence of the list of demands and would not give specifics on where the star was living.

"I get calls all the time about different places saying she's looking to buy there in ten different states," Rosenberg said.

Ritchie 'annoyed over Madonna jibe'

http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/08/41/160x120_starsnaps_madonna.jpg

Madonna's recent internet outburst has angered her ex-husband Guy Ritchie, according to a report.

The Queen of Pop yesterday hit back at claims that she was planning to leave sons Rocco, eight, and David, three, with Ritchie when she reprises her 'Sticky & Sweet' tour in July.

Writing on Twitter, she asked: "What is this rubbish about me dumping my children off for the summer while I'm on tour? They go where I go."

However, it is believed that Madonna's rebuttal has only served to create further tension with her former partner.

A source close to Ritchie told The Mirror: "He adores spending time with the boys, so if Madonna did want him to look after the children he'd have done it without a second thought."

The insider added: "Guy has been trying to show his support to Madonna, especially over her recent adoption upset in Malawi.

"But it sounds like she's having a dig at him in her internet rant, referring to dumping them on him. They share their time with their children - it isn't a case of them being dumped on anyone."

Madonna and Ritchie were granted a "quickie" divorce in November. They had announced their separation a month earlier.

Madonna's adoption drama continues

http://news-briefs.ew.com/2009/05/madonnas-adopti.html

Obsessed with Madonna's adoption drama? Well it seems CBS' The Early Show is, too. For three days, beginning Monday, the morning talk show will air a series about Madonna's adoption quest. Day one is set to feature an exclusive with the Malawian man claiming to be the biological father of the four-year-old girl Madonna hopes to adopt. James Kambewa claims, "I want to take care of her and I'm capable to take care of my baby... Mercy. She is Malawian -- so [I] need her to grow as a Malawian, as well with our culture." Kambewa has never met Mercy (whose mother reportedly died just after child birth).

A Malawian judge rejected the pop star's initial request to adopt Chifundo "Mercy" James, citing the country's residency requirement for would-be parents. Madonna's appeal is scheduled to be heard Monday.

Madonna adopted son David Banda from Malawi in 2006.

Madonna Loves Lady GaGa

Lady GaGa has another superstar fan — Madonna.

The reigning queen of pop and her daughter, Lourdes, saw the Poker Face singer’s gig at N.Y.C.’s Terminal 5 on Saturday night.

“Madonna loved Gaga’s show,” a source told the New York Daily News. “Especially when Gaga played Future Love on the piano. Lourdes was singing along to every word.”

The source adds that Madonna and Lourdes left halfway through the show, “probably because Gaga went on late, around 1 a.m., and Madge is a good mom!”

GaGa, real name Stefani Germanotta, has previously compared herself to the Material Girl, saying, “We’re both Italian-American women, we both started out in the New York underground scene — and we both became famous when we dyed our hair blonde.

“I think what Madonna and I share is that we’re both fearless, we both have a lot of nerve.”

Madonna begins her Malawi adoption appeal today

Lawyers for pop star Madonna have returned to a Malawian court to appeal against a ruling denying her request to adopt a child.
Last month, the court ruled that the singer could not adopt three-year-old Chifundo 'Mercy' James as she did not have permanent residence in Malawi.
Madonna was not at the closed-door hearing and a ruling may not be announced for several days.
The singer has already adopted a boy, David, from the southern African state.
Mercy lives in the same orphanage from which Madonna adopted David in 2006 and has been living there since her 18-year-old mother died shortly after giving birth.
Madonna's Malawian lawyer Alan Chinula said he was 'hopeful' the appeal would succeed, and argued the lower court had relied on outdated law to block the girl's adoption.
Meanwhile, a dispute has erupted over a man claiming to be the little girl's father.
James Kambewa, a 24-year-old security guard, told US TV he opposed the star's appeal and had sought help from the Malawi Law Society to stop the adoption.
Although Mr Kambewa acknowledged he had never met the child, he said he now wanted to claim custody.
However Mercy's uncle, Peter Baneti - who is representing the family in the adoption case - said that the family did not know Mr Kambewa.
Mr Baneti said he had agreed to the adoption on behalf of the family, and that Mr Kambewa was 'just an opportunist'.

MADONNA Controversial Russian concert planned

Madonna is set to perform a controversial concert in Russia. The ‘Material Girl’ singer wants to stage a show in the main square of St. Petersburg, home of the State Hermitage Museum, in August but local authorities are furious about the plans. They have branded the proposed event a “natural disaster” and the museum’s director, Dr. Mikhail Piotrovski will demand the pop superstar signs an agreement to set out decency and volume levels. He fumed: "We want guarantees that there will be no blasphemy."

Madge hires English language tutor for lover Jesus Luz

http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/images/Madonna-113745.jpg

Pop queen Madonna is reportedly spending a whopping 1000 dollars a week on a personalized English tutor for her alleged lover, Brazilian model Jesus Luz.

Sources have revealed that the ‘4 Minute’ hitmaker is keen that her Brazilian beau should be able to converse in her native language, and thus she has hired a tutor for him.

“She’s paying more than $1,000 a week for him to learn English,” Contactmusic quoted a source as telling America’s Star magazine.

Madonna is alleged to have been dating Jesus Luz, who is 30 years her junior, since earlier this year.

Meanwhile, fashion mogul Marc Jacobs has pronounced Madonna and Jesus Luz the perfect couple. (ANI)

MADONNA & LIL’ WAYNE NEW SONG?

http://images.nymag.com/images/2/daily/entertainment/08/07/01_lilmadonna_lg.jpg

For the last three days there has been all kinds of gossip/innuendo about a possible collaboration between the two stars all over the internet. A snippet was found. It was supposed to be Lil’ Wayne and Madonna. It had people tweeting about it and chattering every where. Then it became a new Madonna song, written w/Lil’ Wayne in its demo form with no Madonna vocals. All kinds of endless possibilities.

Could it be for her new GH collection?

Is it what she’s been working on with Frank E?

So far just what can we verify?

Nothing.

Where’s a tweet from Guy O when you need one?

We’ll have to stay tuned to see what proves to be fact or what proves to be fiction.

Madonna's 'Sticky and Sweet' coming to Israel

Queen of pop confirms extended world tour to include one-night show in Israel this October; organizers still in talks for sponsors

NEW YORK- After long and agonizing negotiations, pop queen Madonna has finally confirmed she will be stopping in Israel this October as part of her successful Sticky and Sweet Tour.



The singer will put on a one-night performance, but her trip to Israel will last a few days during which she will visit various sites.



According to speculations, Madonna will be landing in Tel Aviv a week before her show and stay in Israel during Yom Kippur.

The 51-year-old artist's visit to Israel was not part of the original plan. The Sticky and Sweet Tour was launched last year and saw jam-packed halls around the world.



After the tour Madonna announced that she planned to start working on a new record, but rising demand from her fans around the world led the singer to extend her tour to European locations this summer.



It should be noted that Madonna has wanted to perform in Israel a number of times in recent years, but due to funding problems, was unable to do so.



Even now, there is a chance that the show may not go through, since Israeli promoter Shuki Weiss and German producer Marek Lieberberg are still looking for commercial sponsors to fund the costly performance.

The two have been holding intensive talks with telecommunications provider Orange, but an agreement is yet to be signed.



The Sticky and Sweet concert includes over two hours of Madonna singing her greatest hits from throughout her career, and a gypsy section with symbols from Judaism displayed on a large screen in the background.

Revolver, the new Madonna single? *RUMOUR*

In the past few days, a lot of fuss has been made in the Madonna fan community about a supposed Lil Wayne collaboration. According to reliable member of the Madonna Fanzine board, anna_henstridge, the first single of Madonna's upcoming greatest hits album is going to be 'Revolver', a track originally meant for Lil Wayne. Madonna got a hold of the track and recorded it as a solo song, produced by the officially confirmed DJ Frank E. You can listen to a snippet of the song here, which does not feature Madonna's vocals. Recently, DJ Frank E described the new Madonna sound as "electro pop" on his Twitter.
Another evidence for the Revolver rumour: a rejected concept for the compilation album appeared online by Adam&Co. They say the project evolved in a different direction, but interestingly it has the rumoured title 'Hits' along with holes made by bullets on the package. Coincidence? Supposedly, we're gonna find out soon...

Committed to Jesus

MADONNA & LOVER TO SWAP VOWS IN KABBALAH SERVICE

Madonna and her toyboy lover Jesus are planning a "commitment ceremony" in New York.

The queen of pop and Brazilian model Jesus Luz will take part in a service in front of a rabbi at the Kabbalah Centre in Manhattan.

Friends said Madonna, 50, and the 22- year-old model decided they wanted to take a new step in their relationship after her bid to adopt a Malawi orphan failed.

Jesus has already converted from Catholicism to the Kabbalah religion as a mark of his commitment to the singer.

Earlier this year he was spotted joining Madonna at the Kabbalah centre with her daughter Lourdes and David Banda, her adopted son from Malawi.

The Brazilian model has been to a series of classes since the beginning of the year to teach him about the faith, which is based on Judaism There had been rumours the couple had split before Madonna flew out to Malawi in a bid to adopt three-yearold Mercy James.

But friends said Madonna, who adopted David Banda from the same country three years ago, returned to New York last month and has been seen at restaurants across the city with Jesus.

He was also Madonna's escort at a major fashion show in New York last week. A source said: "They are totally besotted with each other and he's really helped Madonna through this tough time.

"It wasn't that the relationship went off the boil, it was more a matter of Madonna wanting to concentrate on her adoption bid of Mercy and they wanted to keep a low profile while that became the main focus.

"Madonna was devastated when the adoption was rejected the first time but now she wants to lavish some attention on Jesus and she's keen to make sure they have a solid relationship for all the children's sakes."

Madonna first met Jesus on the set of an X-rated photo shoot for W magazine. Jesus was semi-naked and the pair were snapped kissing on a bed in a hotel room.

Though they kept their relationship on a lower profile during the adoption bid, the pair have been regularly photographed out together in New York since.

Jesus has already been accepted by the star's children Lourdes, 12, eightyear-old Rocco and David, three.

The source said: "Lourdes teases him by calling him The Babysitter, because he is so young. She likes him, but loves to wind him up."

You too can look like Madonna!

Madonna's personal trainer Tracy Anderson spoke to Wales On Sunday about her regime for her famous client.
Madonna’s personal trainer has some harsh words for Welsh women who want to look as fit as the Queen of Pop.
Five-foot, size six Tracy Anderson gave Wales on Sunday her exclusive steps to honing a killer body - and be warned - she thinks running gives you a man’s backside, junk food’s a form of personal abuse, and anyone who thinks walking to work will keep them slim and beautiful is kidding themselves.
This tough-talking self-confessed control freak has been putting Madge and her best mate Gwyneth Paltrow through demanding workouts for years - and now she wants to do the same for British slimmers without their A-list salaries or lifestyle.
'Every woman absolutely can look like Madonna,' said Tracy, 33, a super-healthy gym guru who isn’t afraid to sound messiah-like as she spells out her mission to 'connect with the masses'.
The glamorous former ballerina splits her time between New York and London to meet the demands of Madonna and Hollywood actress Gwyneth, both busy mums, and knows the famous women from top to toe.
'Madonna’s a performer,' she said. 'I need to make sure she can get up in front of 75,000 people on a tour that’s going to suck the life out of her - that’s why she needs to work so hard.'
And while that iconic figure needs two hours a day, six days a week to maintain – the woman behind it claims it’s more than attainable by lesser mortals without Madonna’s childcare entourage or bank balance.
'Gwyneth does an hour and a half a day,' she said.
'Madonna’s a gym nerd - but not everyone needs that insane commitment.'

RaVaughn clears rumours about Revolver net demo

The big buzz that has been going on in the "Queendom" since a few days is all about the snippets, that have been leaked onto the internet, of the original demo (not sung by Madonna), of the new song that the Queen Of Pop has recently recorded in the studio and that is titled "Revolver".
Our long time friend and forum member Tastyboy had the chance to speak to RaVaughn, the vocalist that has worked as a backing singer for many R&b artists and that has confirmed that it's actually her singing in the demo and not "Shawnna featuring Jackie Boyz", as the leaked snipped has been mislabeled.

"I did record the original female demo 'Revolver'", RaVaughn confirmed to our friend Francesco, adding that "The Jackie Boyz" wrote it and asked me to come demo it for them. Los of the Jackie Boys recorded it originally and they wanted a female vocal on it so I went in and did it."

Deducing that "Revolver" reached Madonna when DJ Frank E submitted it to her while recently working together in the studio for her Greatest Hits package, the song had been already submitted (and probably turned down) by a few artists: "It was said to be pitched to Katy Perry and Flo-Rida, he was supposed to rap on it", RaVaughn told our friend. Commenting about her demo that leaked onto the internet RaVaughn said: "I didn't even know a lot of people heard the demo. I knew it got leaked, but wasn't aware that so many people were in to it!"

Gossip: Jesus’ dad confirms Madonna’s Kabbalah ‘wedding’

http://allaboutmadonna.com/2009/05/gossip-jesus-dad-confirms-madonnas-kabbalah-wedding.php

The father of Madonna’s Brazilian toy boy has confirmed the singer will wed his son Jesus in a secret Kabbalah ceremony.

Luis Heitor Pinto da Luz says he’s not sure if the symbolic nuptials will entitle the 22-year-old model to any of the star’s mega-millions but says he is happy to welcome in Madge to the family.

Luz told a Brazilian magazine: ‘The kabbalah ceremony [in New York that] will link up my son Jesus Luz and Madonna only confirms that he is extremely happy.’

‘I don’t know if there will, in fact, be a real marriage between Madonna and my son. It will be a type of ritual, but I do not know kabbalah [or if the ceremony] will have legal validity,’ he said.

But he says he’s been won over by his future daughter-in-law.

‘I’ve spoken by phone with Madonna - in French, because my English is not fluent - and she appears to me to be a normal and polite person,’ he says.

‘She is feminine. I don’t feel she is a harsh person.’

Dad claims the pair are already as good as married revealing his son permanently lives with Madge in her plush Central Park West apartment and helps with the baby sitting.

‘She has small children, and Jesus helps her out with various tasks involving all of them. He plays ball with the kids. Jesus has charisma and loves children’, said Luz.

But dad angrily rejects claims his son is sponging off his 50-year-old girlfriend, following claims she is shelling out thousands for his for private English tuition.

Young Jesus could already speak the lingo before meeting Magde, insists his father.

‘[Jesus] already spoke English very well before he knew Madonna!’

‘He has an aunt residing in the United States’.

Oakenfold: 'Madonna songs cutting edge'

http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/09/11/160x120_paul_oakenfold.jpg

Paul Oakenfold has described the new material he has recorded with Madonna as "cutting edge sounds combined with classic Madonna".

The pair spent a week together in the studio last month producing songs for the 'Miles Away' singer's upcoming greatest hits package.

Oakenfold confirmed that the new material will be previewed when he opens for Madonna on the second leg of her 'Sticky And Sweet' world tour, which kicks off in London on July 4.

The DJ will also play at the Wireless Festival before supporting Madonna on European dates in Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Russia and Eastern Europe.

His new album Pop Killer is expected to be released in 2010 and features collaborations with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ryan Tedder and Ce-Lo.

Madonna and Jesus not getting hitched, singer's rep says

http://media.kansascity.com/smedia/2009/05/15/13/686-madonna.embedded.prod_affiliate.81.jpg

Madonna and her boy toy Jesus have no plans to get married, a spokesperson for the singer tells In Touch magazine.

“This is completely and totally not true,” her spokesperson says.

(No word from Jesus' rep.)

Rumors started flying on Thursday that the 22-year-old Brazilian hunk’s father, Luis Heitor Pinto da Luz, announced that his model son and Madonna were getting married in a Kabbalah service in New York.

The proud papa allegedly told a Brazilian magazine that "the ceremony [that] will link up my son Jesus Luz and Madonna only confirms that he is extremely happy."

That didn't make much sense anyway in light of how Madonna seemed to confirm recently on her Twitter site that she was single again. "Hello Madonna honey I'm glad you are single again - you made your best music as a single woman," a fan wrote.

Madonna replied: "'Not as glad as I am."

Madonna's rep flat out denies that Jesus' father (we thought his name would be Joseph) spoke at all about the alleged nuptials to the mag.

Darn. Imagine the headlines we could have written.

Jesus to Madonna: "I Love You."

Madonna to Jesus: It's your baby!

(I am so going to burn for this.)

~ It's pure speculation, but keep in mind if Oakenfold previews the new songs as the opening act, it's not exactly likely that Madonna would perform them live in the actual show.

William Orbit still friends with Madonna

To promote his brand new album 'My Oracle Lives Uptown', William Orbit gave a long interview to UK radio station BBC which turns out quite a career retrospective, so naturally Madonna is mentioned several times. Orbit talks about the recording sessions of Ray Of Light, how they became friends with Madonna during the process, and more importantly, he reveals that he sent in a few new tracks for Madonna's latest project (the new greatest hits album, but he did not name it), but Madonna did not use them. He admits that Madonna is into a different kind of dancy sound now, in the vein of Britney's Blackout album (especially 'Piece Of Me') and her own Music by Mirwais (which fits DJ Frank E's electro pop hint), but Orbit himself cannot create sounds like that. He says they are still friends though and "never say never" regarding if he'd ever work with her again, and calls Madonna a very talented musician. He also talks about his work with other artists, like U2 or Blur.

Two Classics are back!

The extension of the Madonna tour is about to start in less than two months and here at MadonnaTribe we've heard a few things buzzing around.
Rehearsals are planned to take place in New York and starting at the beginning of June. They will approximatively go on for a month before flying to London for the premiere on July 4th.
As for the changes in the Sticky & Sweet set list a couple of beloved old classics will be replacing two songs of the 2008 lineup. The songs considered at the moment are the 1983 First Album classic hit Holiday, making its comeback in a Madonna tour and Dress You Up, the old fan favourite from Like A Virgin!

The inclusion of such classic songs will surely convince the people who were unsure about this tour extension that Madonna is once again trying something new, by strengthening her already successful show of 2008, reinventing it by adding more fan favourite oldies but goodies!

New Madonna on the way!

New Madonna music is on the way...

According to DJ FrankE, who spent some quality time with her in the studio earlier this month working on an electro-pop track that everyone is now identifying as the Madonna rendition of "Revolver".

Frank E certainly has a unique approach to the internet and a tongue in cheeck consideration of how the show biz marketing works, but chances are that he's not wrong at all... Here's what he says:

"New Madonna on the way! Madonna fans - make sure to keep asking her for it. Maybe she'll put it out sooner".

Something to remember: Re-Invent Yourself!

Constantly referred to as the Queen of Reinvention in the media, Madonna decided to take a spoof on that title when she launched her Re-Invention Tour 5 years ago, on May 24th, 2004. For her sixth full tour, Madonna decided to pay tribute to various eras of her career, as the main motive of the show was giving winks and nods to her past live extravaganzas and costumes. While the tour had a very limited itineary, only hitting North America and selected Western European cities, the show was well-received by fans and critics alike for redressing the balance after the so-called self-indulgent setlist of the Drowned World Tour, being her first ever live retrospective, revisiting many of her hits.
The show was divided into five different segments and featured at least one song from each of her studio albums. Unlike on her other tours, the five costumes practically remained the same during each of their respective acts. The designers of the ensembles were Christian Lacroix, Stella McCartney and Arianne Phillips. The concert included such highlights as the yoga-infused opener Vogue, the military march of Express Yourself, a gorgeously sung jazzy rendition of Deeper And Deeper, the high-energy tango of Die Another Day and the electric chair drama of the dark Evita finale Lament, the sincere acoustic folk of Mother And Father, and the back-to-back lighthearted fun of Into The Groove & Papa Don't Preach. All of Madonna's tours include samples, interpolations or live snippets of non-Madonna songs, but this is the only Madonna show that features a fully performed cover song, John Lennon's Imagine, "the ultimate peace song", as Madonna referred to it.
Unfortunately it also meant that her then-current American Life album did not have much share in the spotlight, it was especially surprising that Hollywood was relegated to an interlude and her then-most recent single Love Profusion was snubbed from the setlist.
Re-Invention became the most lucrative tour of 2004 with grossing nearly $125 million and selling 900,000 tickets. Madonna decided to immortalize her life on the road and enlisted longtime collaborator Jonas Akerlund to capture her touring days on film, which resulted in the much-delayed I'm Going To Tell You A Secret, that eventually got released on DVD in mid-2006.
While the tour documentary features several perfectly shot, but edited performances from Paris (accompanied by a live CD that ironically puts the emphasis on American Life), unfortunately for fans it's the only way to see professional footage of the 2004 tour. Even after 5 years, there's still no DVD release in sight, and even though the final two shows in Lisbon were filmed, recently Madonna's manager Guy Oseary revealed that there are no immediate plans for the release but it would come out "someday"...

DJ Enferno on working with Madonna

DJ Enferno - known to his friends and family as Eric Jao - is from Fairfax and grew up in Northern Virginia. He’ll be spinning at Ultra Bar on Saturday night. He spent eight months touring with Madonna last year, but he’s stopped home for a bit of a break before going on her European summer tour.

So what’s it like being on the road with Madonna?

“She has so much knowledge– she’s been in the business for so long, she’s got so many good ideas, and she’s really witty,” he said during an interview with FOX 5. “That was one surprising thing that I found out about her. She’s really sharp and she’ll kind of bust your chops a little bit.”

DJ Enferno says he landed his gig with Madonna after the music director for the tour saw him perform in Orlando.

Jesus Luz: 'Madonna is just a friend'

Brazilian model Jesus Luz has spoken publicly for the first time about his relationship with Madonna - blasting reports of an impending wedding and branding the singer 'nothing but a friend'.
The Material Girl met Luz in December at a photoshoot for W magazine, which saw the pair pose for a series of provocative photos, weeks before Madonna's divorce from filmmaker Guy Ritchie was finalised in January.
The couple has since been snapped jet-setting around the globe, sparking speculation Madonna had taken Luz on as her lover and plans to marry him in a Kabbalah commitment ceremony.
But in a candid new interview on Brazilian TV show Fantastico, the 22 year old has downplayed his relationship with the superstar.
He says, 'She is someone I truly admire, a friend who is in my life, who I have worked with, and who I keep in touch with. I can't say anything else besides that. She is a friend, and nothing but a friend.'
And Luz insists he isn't bothered by the international press labelling him Madonna's toyboy.
He adds: 'Actually I have never cared about what other people say about me because if I let people's negativity enter my life then I will not be able to stay focused and follow my path.'

WORLD EXCLUSIVE MADONNA NEWS - NEW TRACK NAMES

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: NEW MADONNA NEWS!

Nobody else knows about this (well aside from Paul Oakenfold, Madonna, some studio people, her manager, friends, Lourdes, Rocco, David and several hundread nannies) but we can exclusively reveal the name of the new songs that Paul Oakenfold has recorded with her royal highness, all time queen of the pop fiefdom and snout rubberer of the puffed up and self righteous in the poop (ie Madonna).

We just got off the blower with legendary superstar DJ Paul Oakenfold for a little interview we will be running in our July issue out at the end of June in our nightlife section. Paul is doing his amazing thing all over the world and has been Djing for the Madonna tour of last year which returns to London on Pride day July 4th before going to Manchester and then heading out into the wider world. So taken with the Oakenfold was she that she invited him into the studio to work on some new tracks for possible inclusion on Madonna’s highly anticipated new Greatest Hits album due for release sometime this year.

Paul said Madonna was highly professional, he learned a lot and that the new tracks are ‘lyrically classic Madonna with an edgy modern sound’.

‘Oooh’ we gasped, as we help the phone on a cord under our chin, and whipped up an omelette with the other hand, in a Thelma and Louise serving omelettes in a Texas Diner kind of way.

He told us the tracks were sitting right there next to him and he told us what they are called. He didn’t know which ones would be the Greatest Hits CD and didn’t know when it would be out, though he imagined the run up to Christmas ‘when most greatest hits come out’. Our other pixie sources have told us that it may well be before that (ie Madonna wrote in a fan newsletter that it would be spring).

So, the song titles are… (in no order)

‘Broken’

‘I’m sorry’

and

‘Celebrate’.

So there we are. We don’t know what this says about our glorious leader’s emotional state – the first two we decided were about her sadness at splitting from Guy but then we thought maybe she is saying ‘celebrate my freedom, I’m sorry I waited so long and I’ve broken the bed with Jesus’.

But who knows.

We are hovering our hands over our crystal balls in a mystical manner and predict that the album may well just be called
MADONNA CELEBRATE. But that is just a guess, because we’re slightly OCD.

YEY!

I hope the tracks are good, Celebrate sounds like a good song!

Naked Madonna painting up for auction


A naked oil painting of Madonna and ex-husband Guy Ritchie by Scottish artist Peter Howson is being auctioned this week, it has emerged.

The 2005 work titled Madonna And Guy, one of several nudes of the star by Howson, is expected to fetch up to £22,00 when it goes on sale at McTear's in Glasgow this Saturday, PA reports.

Brian Clements from the auctioneers said: "There is no doubt that the recent split of Madonna and Guy has generated increased interest in the painting.

"The painting created a huge amount of controversy when it was unveiled a few years ago and I think it's safe to say it is one of a kind."

Earlier this year, a naked photograph of Madonna was sold for $37,500 (£26,100) at a New York auction.

28 May - Israel & other tidbits

According to fansite MadonnaTribe, the Sticky & Sweet Tour is indeed reaching Israel, as Madonna is set to end the 2009 tour on September 1st, in Tel Aviv's Hayarkon Park. An official announcement should be coming very soon.

Moreover, it seems Attitude magazine got the song titles wrong, because "I'm sorry" is just a repeated phrase in the song Broken, which means there are only 2 Oakenfold tracks (the correct title is possibly 'Broken (I'm Sorry)').


28 May - More details on setlist changes

Fansite MadonnaTribe now reports that Heartbeat is going to be replaced by a medley consisting of: Holiday, the brand new Oakenfold-produced party anthem Celebrate, and Madonna's very first single Everybody!

As expected, Dress You Up is being rehearsed as a rock version to replace Borderline. Previously, Madonna rehearsed the 1985 single on the guitar for the Re-Invention Tour.

Oakenfold struggling with Madonna set for tour

DJ Paul Oakenfold is struggling to put together a playlist for his upcoming shows supporting Madonna - because the crowd will be so diverse.
The superstar DJ will be the Material Girl's warm-up act on the latest leg of her Sticky & Sweet world tour this summer, and he wants to get everyone in the crowd fired up and dancing.
But he's finding it difficult to plan what music to play as he doesn't think his usual style will go down well with the wide range of fans Madonna attracts.
Oakenfold says, 'Planning my set for a Madonna show is tough because she covers the spectrum. It's a white, black, gay, straight crowd, aged between 15 to 60. It's no good making it too underground.'
'Despite the big venues, it'll still be clubby and I'll get the crowd going. And it doesn't take much to get Madonna in the mood.'
Oakenfold is also teaming up with the singer to produce three new tracks on her upcoming Greatest Hits album.

REVOLVER WITH LIL’ WAYNE

According to a reliable insider, there will be two versions of Revolver: one featuring Lil’ Wayne and the other solo with just Madonna. Their plan is most likely to put the solo version on the album, and release the Lil’ Wayne version to radio. Hopefully, this will help Madonna get another #1 hit in the US.

Madonna is Happy for A-Rod and Kate Hudson

Madonna is not only happy that her ex Alex Rodriguez has moved on, she's "relieved!"

A-Rod has reportedly been secretly dating Kate Hudson for a few months now. The couple met at the grand re-opening of Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami last November and instantly hit it off.

So what does Madonna think about her ex moving on? "Madonna is actually relieved that A-Rod seems so happy with Kate," a source told the New York Daily News.

"He's always treated women like he treats home runs anyway. He's getting a great batting average here. In fact, Madonna is actually proud that she's raised the bar for him, so he can date a better caliber of women."

Seems like Madonna is too busy with her 23 year-old boy toy Jesus Luz to care about who A-Rod is dating. What do you think about A-Rod and Kate together? Do you think A-Rod downgraded or upgraded after Madonna?
