Madonna has reportedly added another member to her brood and adopted a one-year-old boy from the impoverished African country of Malawi.
The mother of two chose the boy from a group of 12 children that were specially chosen from four orphanages prior to her arrival. And you thought getting into Hyde was difficult!
A Malawian government official said Madonna had wanted a girl but changed her mind two weeks ago. Princess Lourdes can rest easy.
Her Madgesty has pledged $3 million to fund the Raising Malawi center which will support programs for 1000 orphans, many who have lost their parents to AIDS. Madonna will also fund another $1 million for a documentary about the plight of the nation's children.
As of yet, there is no word on the baby's name.
But now Madge's camp is saying the adoption has not taken place.
Her publicist, Liz Rosenberg, told Us Weekly "I can confirm Madonna is in Malawi on a private visit. She is building an orphanage and child care center and is involved in other initiatives geared toward helping children orphaned by AIDS thru the Raising Malawi organization. She has not adopted a baby despite reports that she has."

What is the alternative? Not respond and miss the chance to call attention to your ongoing brilliance? Not a chance. I will, however, take this as an opportunity to educate you on the definition of a rhetorical question. A rhetorical question is one for which no answer is expected. Example: Do you have anything to say about the actual issue at hand?
ha! I thought I was reality check! I guess capitalization makes all the difference. But do go on, I'm in total agreement and too tired to volley with ignorant people.
except-
Charity starts at home. Can we please start helping our own people???? PLEASE?

Madonna lives in England. There, I feel better now!
#60 ROFLMAO... Oh dear God I need to pee now. That was really funny! Thanks, still laughing! Whew!
OK, Madonna lives in England. There are no children of poverty in England - please give me a break. She can surely adopt a white child.
What are you a racist? Why do white people have to adopt white children? How ignorant of you. Not only that but you post your ingnorance so every one knows your a racist. You must be a really small minded person. Too bad you can't see the bigger picture. I have a huge family and we have almost all the human "colors" covered. And it's a wonderful mix of human beings. Stop being a hate monger.

I am proud to be white. Umm, wait we don't have the united white college fund and we don't have miss white america because if we did we'd be racist. So who's the racist? What can Madonna possibly teach a black child about their culture?
I think Sick & Tired IS both sick and tired. did I time travel and wake up a century ago??? no my computer's right in front of me, so that means that the KKK must be taking computer courses at the library. one good thing about inbreds, they breed themselves right out of existence.
Sick & Tired,
Thanks for the love note. Unfortunately, "your" is a possessive pronoun. You meant "you're".
Still, always a fan.
Did she adopt a poor needy child? Did she donate money for a program that will support over 1000 orphans? COME ON PEOPLE! Who cares where the kid comes from? She's making the world a better place. She could be out there inspiring hate and ridicule. Instead she's baring it! UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is such a great country.
Only time in my life I find myself questioning the 1st amendment is when I read trash like the trash being posted by "Sickening and Tiring". What dank hole did you emerge out of? You should shake off the white self righteous arrogance and get down on your knees and pray for forgiveness. God is watching you.
Did the old hag change her mind from a girl to a boy because her publicist advised her not to because she doesn't want to look to much like a copy cat, she should have been advised not to make an ass out of herself and fake an english accent as soon as she moved to England.
well you can rest easy, I am no actress or millionaire in fact I am only like 80% of this country in the middle income class and I adopted four USA kids. So if everyone out there thought and followed through with taking one child who needs a home, than things will get better here and around the world.
whether one two or three, every child saved is worth something
