Madonna 'phones Mercy every evening'

http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/08/21...ex_765528c.jpg

Madonna phones her newly-adopted daughter Mercy James every evening, reports say.

The pop superstar won her appeal to adopt the four-year-old Malawian last Friday and now speaks with her child each night, Contact Music reports.

She reportedly said during a call on Sunday evening: "Mommy is waiting for you across the seas."

The 'Miles Away' singer has moved the youngster to a luxury lodge in the country’s capital Lilongwe, where she is looked after by a nanny and a nurse. They will care for her until the legal documents and travel papers which Madonna’s aides are overseeing have gone through the proper channels.

The 50-year-old will resume her 'Sticky & Sweet' Tour on July 4 in the UK and it is expected to wrap up at the end of August.

During that time, Mercy James will be attended to by a team of nannies in New York.

Madonna 'banned Winslet from soundtrack'

http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/09/20...s_madonna2.jpg

Madonna intervened to prevent a song written by Kate Winslet's father appearing on the Snatch soundtrack, it has been claimed.

According to the Daily Mail, the track by Roger Winslet and fellow musician Pete Brooks was poised to appear on the film by Madonna's then-husband Guy Ritchie.

Roger said: "Me and Pete heard that Guy Ritchie was making a follow-up to Lock Stock, so a mutual friend sent him a tape of track that I had only just written.

"Apparently he absolutely loved it and asked us to go down to his place at Chelsea Harbour. When we got there he played it and played it again saying that it was perfect for the soundtrack. I thought, 'Lovely, we've cracked it'."

He added: "However, unbeknown to me, Madonna, Ritchie's wife at the time, was in on the music selection. I heard that as soon as she knew who my daughter was, she scuppered it.

"Just imagine it, I was that close to being on Snatch. Bloody hell, if you can get on a movie soundtrack you've really made it."

Madonna to be dismissed from film investor's suit

A Louisiana movie investor has agreed to dismiss pop singer Madonna from a lawsuit that accuses a film production company she founded of failing to repay the investor's loans.

Madonna's dismissal from the suit is part of a settlement outlined in court papers filed Thursday. Financial terms of the settlement aren't disclosed in the filing.

Madonna's lawyers have said she wasn't involved in any of the contracts that Baton Rouge investor Jay Dykes Jr. allegedly signed with Maverick Films.

Dykes' suit claims Maverick Films failed to repay hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans or give him producer credits for movies he says he helped finance.

Madonna and her manager, Guy Oseary, founded Maverick Films in 2001, but she later divested her stake in the company.

Madonna's man Jesus on catwalk during Sao Paulo Fashion Week

http://www.hellomagazine.com/pics/lo.../jesus-luz.jpg

He's been pictured keeping Madonna company of late, but it was back to work this week for Jesus Luz. The 22-year-old Brazilian hunk was on the runway for Brazilian brand Colcci at Sao Paulo Fashion Week.

There was no sign of his pop star girlfriend, however, who is apparently so taken with the runway hunk she wants to meet his parents. She's currently in New York preparing for the arrival of her newly-adopted Malawian daughter Mercy.

Since he's been linked to Madonna Jesus' career has received a major shot in the arm. His appearance fees have reportedly soared from $200 into the thousands, and Dolce & Gabanna have signed him up to appear in their next autumn/winter ad campaign.

I hope she wins the court case btw

Most of it is news and not tripe from the Britney Thread

Yeah but mate, 98% of the thread is you. You're like, her only fan on here.

Callum was a big fan. 001steven was a regular on here too. If you look for example the McFly thread Nicky is the member who posts most of the comments in there

Guy Oseary promises Australia for next tour

Guy Oseary, Madonna's manager posted a hopeful message for Australian fans on his Twitter: "I have received many messages about Madonna coming to Australia.. I promise you on our next tour we will definitely come down under!"

Maybe so, yet Nicky doesn't slag off a thread when it's more popular than hers, you're clearly just bitter and jealous.

Me jealous! The only thing I should be jealous about if Madonna's greatest hits is not released over in the UK first.

Well then may I ask why you're bitterly slagging off the Britney thread?

You can obviously see that the members in the thread want it to have the most posts and hits [currently at no.3] on the website. That is whan I don't get.

It has NOTHING to do with this thread and that is why I said about the crappy comments in the Britney Thread just to make the hits and posts go up.

I know this thread won't acchive much so dont go on about this thread.

MichaelSpears, Fom and Mrluvaluva were also regular posters too

Sticky n Sweet poster for the Trab-Arena cancelled show

Posting images from the Sticky & Sweet Tour posters from around the world is usually something we do with a big smile on our faces. It's cool to have fans who want to share their love for M and we are happy to work as a medium to let them spread their passion to fellow fans.
This time it is a little bit different, because the image below marks a story that no Madonna fan deserves to experience - the cancellation of a show.

As you all know Madonna was due to perform in Hamburg on July 28, marking her first concert in the German city. The show was cancelled together with the second Manchester gig weeks after tickets went on sale, with no real announcement and the "revised tour schedule" hidden as a sad surprise in a Live Nation press release celebrating the unprecedented success of the Sticky & Sweet Tour.

The image below was shot in Hannover a few weeks ago and was shared by MadonnaTribe Twitter follower LoToast.

Why was it cancelled?

And in case you think it, I'm not a Madonna hater.
