Madonna: Not My Goodies!

If you were hoping to get your hands on some intimate Madonna memorabilia, think again.  Her lawyers are working overtime to stop an impending auction.

Madge’s love letters and sexy photographs from her early-90s relationship with James Allbright were recently sold to Marquee Capital.  The company specializes in the Material Girl’s odds and ends.

Madonna: Malawi Checking In On David Banda

Madonna and Guy Ritchie are getting a live-in guest for the next few days. Penston Kilembe, head of the child welfare services in Malawi, is visiting Madonna’s London abode to conduct a “home study” assessment in regards to the potential adoption of David Banda. 

The purpose of the assessment is for Mr. Kilembe to gather information that will help the Malawi child services decide whether or not to allow Madonna to adopt David. The two primary concerns the welfare services has are if David is comfortable with his new family, and whether or not the excessive media coverage is negatively affecting David’s development.

Celebrity Mothers Set The Bar High

It can be intimidating for new mothers these days.  In addition to the whole new world of taking care of a newborn and maintaining a family, there is this emerging phenomenon of “have it all” mothers in Hollywood.  Every time you turn on the television or hop on the Internet there are constant images of celebrity children (both biological and adopted) alongside their enormously successful movie star moms.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, Angelina Jolie, Katie Holmes and Gwen Stefani top the list of celeb mommies that appear to have paired career success with motherhood. On the other side of that coin are experts that say that such a perception is unrealistic.

Let the PR Games Begin…

I can’t help but do this, come on and sing with me. 

Remember George Michael’s “Let’s Talk About Sex,” song? Well sing the following to the tune…

Let’s talk about my baby,
Let’s talk about me me me,
Let’s talk about all the good things that I do,
and forget the rest.

Let’s talk about me…

Yea, I know it’s kind of lame. I’m a better songwriter than Kevin Federline though, yo.

Anyway, this post was supposed to be about Madonna and her clan arriving at New York’s JFK airport from London. She brought LLL & RR along for good PR. That’s Lourdes “Lola” Leon and Rocco Ritchie along for good public relations.  She’s got a whirlwind of a schedule and you’ll be seeing her on all the major outlets this week. Lucky us! At least the adorable little David is with her, so it will be must see tv. Anyone know of the status of all of the Malawi controversy?

Shouldn’t Lola and Rocco be in school?

BTW, I’m now officially calling David… David Banda Ritchie.
