A Slut, Madge [Re: new Cohen film]
Sacha
Baron Cohen brands Madonna 'a total slut'
Comic Sacha Baron Cohen has branded Queen of Pop Madonna ‘a total slut’.
Sacha, 37, has left a host of celebrities livid with his stunts to promote his movie, where he plays the character of a gay fashion designer Bruno, reports the Daily Star. The outrageous Brit, who fell onto Eminem at the MTV Movie Awards dressed as a bare-bummed dove, posed as a gay Queen''s guard for the London premiere of his new film.
On Madonna, Bruno said: “She’s a total slut. Her gynaecologist will only inspect her over the phone these days.”
Pedophilia
Sure, it makes total sense to allow someone who flirts with pedophilia on a TV show (and who may have actually engaged in it before) to adopt a kid.
Note that when this SNL (Saturday Night Live) T.V. show skit ran, Chelsea Clinton was about 12 years old - (Madonna could have refused to appear in this skit, or she could have asked the writers to change it):
Franken's Rush Limbaugh / Chelsea
Clinton Lie
[snip part about talk radio show host Rush Limbaugh discussing how SNL used to make fun of Chelsea Clinton a lot]
What, you may ask, was Rush [Limbaugh] talking about?
Well, a Saturday Night Live skit had Madonna making a sexual advance toward Chelsea Clinton (played by a dressed-up Julia Sweeney, the actress who also played the androgynous character “Pat”).
It was outrageous.
The following is from a transcript of the show, which aired on 1/16/1993:
[[Bill] Clinton gives Madonna the "Call Me!" signal again, but she shakes h[e]r fingers "No, no", and acknowledges Chelsea instead, who is pleasantly surprised by the outcome]

Madonna
converts Mercy to Kabbalah
Meanwhile, Mercy's father James Kambewa has revealed he is "heartbroken" his daughter has been taken from him.
The 21-year-old man told Britain's The Daily Mirror newspaper: "My Mercy is gone. Madonna has used her money and power but my blood lives in Mercy for ever and ever. There is nothing I can do now."
I offer this next news item with a caveat; it's another one that attempts to depcit the biological family as being money-grubbing gold diggers, but it does demonstrate that Madonna apparently used her wealth to steam-roll over the wishes of the child's real father, and that the father was genuinely interested in keeping his daughter:
Debate
continues over Madonna’s adoption
June 22, 2009
“Behind the scenes, there was a lot of pressure on Mercy’s father and the judge to allow this (adoption)” a source connected to Raising Malawi said.
Why
Madonna has shown a lack of Mercy
Madonna's latest adopted child, threeyear-old Mercy, arrived in Britain from Malawi yesterday - and what a shock it must have been for her.
After a 12-hour flight away from everything she has known so far, Mercy must have felt disorientated and bewildered.
But rather than settling her in slowly to a new life, what's the first thing Madonna does? Takes her to a Kabbalah meeting.
Chantal
criticizes Madonna, Jolie for adoptions.
June 22, 2009
by Adrian ChamberlainCelebrities such as Madonna and Angelina Jolie are making a mistake by adopting African children, says Canadian pop singer Chantal Kreviazuk.
Kreviazuk - who on Tuesday (June 23) plays a fundraiser in Victoria for War Child Canada - said she believes Madonna and Jolie are well-intentioned, but the celeb adoption trend is merely a Band-Aid solution to a complex problem.
"It's traumatic; the (adopted African children) never truly feel they belong. They always wonder where their siblings are,'' Kreviazuk said in an interview from Los Angeles.
Kreviazuk's performance, along with her husband Raine Maida Our Lady Peace, also features a talk by War Child Canada founder Dr. Samantha Nutt. Unlike typical pop singers who proffer shoot-from-the-hip opinions on politics, Kreviazuk's in a position to know what she's talking about.
For a decade she has worked with War Child Canada, an organization providing humanitarian assistance to war-affected children around the world. As well as helping with fundraising, Kreviazuk has visited War Child projects in Asia, Europe and Ethiopia.
Like Madonna and Jolie, she, too, considered adopting after witnessing the plight of orphaned African children. "But then I changed my mind about international adoption,'' Kreviazuk said.
Instead [of adopting a child from another nation], Kreviazuk prefers to support such War Child Canada initiatives as one now providing clothing, food, medical aid and educational assistance for 55 young Ethiopians.
...."The number 1 thing children want when they lose their parents is not to be separated,'' Kreviazuk said.
....At first glance, such efforts seem 100 per cent noble. After all, Madonna's Mercy will join her adoptive mom in New York at her $47-million townhouse with 13 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms. This is an impressive step up from an African orphanage.
Yet not everyone is jumping for joy. Reportedly, Mercy's grandmother didn't want her granddaughter to live with the American pop star who used to cavort in pointy bras. (Mercy's biological mom died soon after she was born. It's not clear why the child was living in a orphanage rather than with grandma.)
Not surprisingly, the grandmother's protest paled when pitted against one of the most powerful celebrities in the world. If anyone doubts today's pop and movie stars wield the clout once possessed by royalty, Madonna's neo- imperialist baby collection settles the question.
Meanwhile, Kreviazuk said the thousands of bucks Jolie blew at the fanciest hotel in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, while on her adoption mission likely rivalled the $200,000 a year it costs to help the 55 young Ethiopians in the War Child Canada program.
``The entire program could have been run by the flight and the nights staying in Ethiopia,'' she said.
Rather than plucking tots from Third World cultures and dipping them in Western opulence, Kreviazuk said, it's preferable to build better social systems in these countries.
How
much did Mercy cost Madonna?
Monday, 22 June 2009
When Madonna told the Malawian orphanage where little Mercy James was living that she would ‘adopt the child at any cost’, the 50-year-old wasn’t kidding.
Now can reveal she’s splashed out over $7 million to make sure she can take 3-year-old Mercy back home to New York.
.... Due to her heavy donations, Madonna’s been able to sidestep the usual problems foreigners have owning property and land.
....The pressure group Eye Of The Child has campaigned ferociously against the way Madonna’s been able to brush aside the law in Malawi, but even they’ve admitted defeat in the face of her millions and the power she wields.
Celebrities:
Are international adoptions the best way to help children?
Misguided
Madonna's just helping the baby traffickers
Excerpt:
But the real reason I oppose her [Madonna's] illconceived actions [adopting David Banda and Mercy James from Malawi] is simple: children prosper best within their own families and communities, however poor they are. Research and years of experience has taught us this.
....Grinding poverty does not deprive them of the right to raise their children. Madonna seems to be making a simple yet pernicious equation: 'If you are poor, you cannot look after your kids.'
....We are also witnessing the rise of a distressing new phenomenon dubbed the Madonna Effect, in which destitute mothers abandon their babies in the hope that they will be adopted by wealthy foreign mothers.
It is a tragic corollary of Madonna's personal triumph that such abuses are now flourishing.
Madonna’s
Malawi Adopto-Snatch Made Gloriously Official
Excerpts:
When Madonna adopts a child, it’s hard. There’s the spoon-feeding. There’s the bathing. There’s the constant threat of incontinence.
Yup, that Madonna sure does take a lot of looking after. But little Mercy James is bound to cope.
Because, just as we’ve been expecting all week, the Malawi Supreme Court has finally approved Madonna’s request to formally adopt Mercy James and take her home.
Madonna has fought so hard for this - it’s everything she’s always wanted. Until next week when she decides that she also wants a diamond-studded unicorn, and throws another pissy fit when someone tells her no, obviously.
Of all her admirable attributes, Madonna’s tenacity is right up there with her slightly nauseating unwillingness to dress remotely like a woman her own age, her swiftness to attach herself to religions which are plainly rooted in bullsh*t and and her ability to push a Snickers bar through the gap in her teeth sideways.
When Madonna sees something she wants, she just goes ahead and gets it.
....Because don’t forget that Madonna has done a lot for Malawi recently. She’s founded a charity to feed the country’s orphans and provide them with medical supplies - plus she’s built the Raising Malawi Kabbalah School to educate them in the mystic ways of the Kabbalah, ensuring that generations of Malawian orphans can grow up to be at least as clever as Ashton Kutcher. It might not be much, but it’s a start.
It just goes to show that money can’t buy you love. But it can buy you a crapload of bricks to build a school to indirectly guilt a government into giving you a kid who you can then go on to shower with the nearest approximation of love available to you at any given moment of time. Which is a completely different thing. It is.

Steals Malawian Native James Kambewa Baby? Man Claims Long Lost Daughter
Has Madonna just stole someone's baby? According to reports, Madonna once again underwent a court decision if she would be allowed to adopt. Previously, the lower courts said no and it was appealed.
Now the country's highest court ruled she could take the child. Although, a man has come out claiming it's his long lost daughter.
According to CBS News, "A Malawian man claiming to be Mercy's biological father had also objected to the adoption, as CBS News correspondent Priya David reported last month. James Kambewa, a security guard, says he'd been told Mercy had died in childbirth.
The girl's maternal relatives have said they don't believe Kambewa is the father, and his objections weren't addressed in Friday's ruling, which removed all his potential parental rights. He told David on Friday that the court's ruling had left him in tears."
There is no word if the father will undergo DNA testing or not or if he has spoken with Madonna's people. Hopefully Madonna will do her best to get the child back to the rightful parent that has been lost for 3 years from him.
Excerpts:
Rights groups have accused the government of giving Madonna special treatment and said the case would encourage foreign celebrities to think they can adopt Malawian children at will.
Mercy's father said Madonna, who is dating 22-year-old Brazilian model Jesus Luz, should not be allowed to adopt Mercy.
'No one wants to listen to me, I have protested this all along... I want my child back but I don't know what to do now,' James Kambewa said.
'Madonna cannot take her away.'
There is little he can do now - the Supreme Court ruling cannot be challenged.
Kambewa said he quit his job as a security guard to fight the adoption and is being supported by his aunt.
According to tradition in southern Malawi, where Kambewa lives, a grandmother has more say in a child's future than the father.
When Mercy's mother died, Kambewa was powerless to stop his daughter being sent to an orphanage when she was three days old.
....'Of course we are disappointed with the ruling because we know that adoption should only be granted as the last resort,' said Maxwell Matewele, executive director of the Eye on Child non-governmental organisation.
So she gets the go-ahead to adopt the girl, but instead of flying in herself, these news articles say she's sending in nannies and nurses to care for her:
Madonna
to leave Mercy at home during Sticky and Sweet tour
Madonna will jet off on her world tour just three weeks after her newly adopted child arrives in New York.
....Madonna is expected to leave the newest addition to her family with staff in New York...
.... [Said Mercy's biological father, James Kambewa] "I am asking Madonna to make sure that, while the child is growing, she must be informed of me as her biological father ... she really must know that while she is far away the father is still alive."
....Madonna's lawyer, Alan Chinula said the singer was not going personally collect the child, who is expected to leave for New York, via Johannesberg, today.
Madonna has flown in a nanny and a nurse to look after orphan Mercy James — who is set to arrive at the star’s lodge in Malawi today.
Other aides will also care for the four-year-old while adoption papers and visas are arranged.
Madonna loves her career more than she loves her adopted daughter:
Mercy
Gets Just 3 Weeks With Madge
June 15, 2009:
Little Mercy James will have less than three weeks with new mum Madonna before she flies off on tour.
....But Madge, 50, is due to start a seven-week European tour on July 4 in London – taking her 3,500 miles from her family home.
A source said: “Madonna was desperate to adopt Mercy but this is bad timing and she is bound to raise a lot of eyebrows by heading off on tour so soon.”
Maxwell Mateware, from Malawi’s Eye of the Child group, added: “It’s hard to say how much damage may have been done to a girl who’s been moved from pillar to post because of one woman’s determination to have her.”

Madonna
adoption: Mercy's dad plans fight to stop singer taking four-year-old
to America
By Suzannah Hills 14/06/2009
The father of the little girl Madonna is adopting in Malawi last night said she has a fight on her hands.
James Kambewa has vowed to do whatever it takes to stop the singer taking four-year-old Mercy to America.
On Friday Madonna succeeded in getting an order preventing the adoption overturned by Malawi's Supreme Court of Appeal - after pumping £12million into the povertystricken country.
Speaking from his home Mr Kambewa said: "I am devastated. I did not even know that the judges were making a ruling about Madonna adopting my child on that day.
"I feel betrayed by my countrymen who gave me a deaf ear because I am poor and Madonna is rich."
Mr Kambewa is now writing to the US Embassy asking them to refuse Mercy a visa. He is also seeking an injunction on the appeal ruling until the court has heard his side.
Madonna
'donated £12 million to Malawi'
Madonna donated £12 million to help children in the poverty-stricken African state of Malawi before being granted permission to adopt a second child from the country, it has been reported.
Did
Mercy cost Madge a whopping £12 million?
June 24, 2009, LONDON: While Madonna is ecstatic over winning her bid to adopt a second child from Malawi, critics have claimed that the superstar won only
because she pumped a whopping £12 million to the poverty-stricken country.Malawi's supreme court of Appeal overturned a previous ruling that stopped Madonna taking Mercy James, four, to America, and granted her the permission to adopt the African girl.
However, many of her critics have said that she [Madonna] won the legal fight because of the huge sums she has given the African state to fund orphan aid projects.
"It smacks of bribery. How can they refuse her requests when she gives Malawi so much?" a worker at an international welfare agency said.
The Material Girl has reportedly spent £12million funding six orphanages as well as paying for shoes, clothes, books and mosquito nets. Madonna jumped with joy after she came to know that she had won her battle to adopt orphan Mercy. "I am ecstatic. My family and I look forward to sharing our lives with her," she said.
Madonna
Adoption Dad Shocked By Ruling
The man who claims to be the father of Madonna's new adopted child says he did not expect the star to get his daughter.
The singer was given permission by a Malawian court to adopt four-year-old Mercy James on Friday, and is expected to take custody of the girl later today or tomorrow.
It is understood most members of Mercy's family agree with the decision.
But James Kambewa said he wanted to look after his child.
"I did not expect this outcome. I did not think the court would rule in this way," he said.
"Right now I do not know what to do so I'm keeping quiet.
"I will have to sit down with my people and strategise on the way forward but right now I have not decided on my next course of action."
Madonna's
adoption of Malawian sends wrong message: agency
Excerpts:
When news recently surfaced about Madonna's second adoption of a Malawian child, we couldn't help but be concerned about what kind of a message this sends.
This adoption is wonderful news for Madonna and most likely, for the three-year-old child.
However, her situation is representative of a larger problem -- one that cannot be solved by celebrity adoptions, or international adoptions more broadly.
We believe the best place for the world's 145 million orphans is in family-based care, in-country.
Ideally, they could be cared for by their extended family, in their own cultural context. When this is impossible, organizations like ours work around the world to provide them with this loving, culturally appropriate home environment.
SOS Children's Villages aims to prevent children from becoming orphaned or abandoned in the first place. Parents faced with crises or poverty often lack the resources and ability to care for their children. Our family-strengthening programs seek to empower families.

WARSAW, Poland, June 10 (UPI) -- Catholics are urging the Polish government and organizers to cancel U.S. pop star Madonna's concert scheduled for Aug. 15, the Assumption of Mary feast.
Marian Brudzynski, member of the Mazowiecki regional assembly, Wednesday said Madonna "cannot sing" on the religious feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary and announced a protest committee is being organized to stop the concert.
Brudzynski, a former member of the conservative League of Polish Families party, said Catholics will do all in their power to prevent the concert from taking place. The protest committee plans to ask Interior Minister Grzegorz Schetyna to cancel the concert, he said.
Brudzynski said if they fail to stop Madonna's concert they will stage a massive picket outside and added, "We want to stifle Madonna," Poland's thenews.pl Web site reported.
Krzysztof Zagozda, of the Catholic Society organization, said the concert would hurt Poles' religious sentiment as Madonna's performances are anti-Christian.
Stanislaw Malkowski, former Warsaw Solidarity union's chaplain, said the Catholic church and the Polish nation should protest loudly against the Madonna concert.

Diet disaster ... Alan [Alan Carr] jokes about Madonna having flatulence problemFirst we talk about Madonna. Alan [Alan Carr] is disappointed by her [Madonna's] Kabbalah conversion and obsession with working out and dieting.
He says: "She must have awful wind on those macrobiotic diets.
"You see her on stage bending into these funny positions and she must be parping away - no wonder her dancers look so miserable.
"It's such a shame, isn't it? Her face looks pretty but the veins... it's like the M6 all down her arm. When I watched her film In Bed With Madonna [a.k.a. Truth or Dare] she's effing and blinding and is good fun. She seems to have changed so much."

concert employees are 'horrible'
June 5, 2009
Madonna’s concert employees are treating the staff at a posh New York hotel horribly, it has been reported.
A front of the house worker at the Bryant Park Hotel claims that the pop superstar’s backup dancers, technicians and roadies are acting in a demanding fashion, The New York Post reports.
The 'Holiday' singer booked 28 rooms for staff while her 'Sticky & Sweet' tour is on hiatus.
"They are horrible," the source said. "We work with people in the fashion and entertainment industry all the time, a crowd that is notoriously difficult, but these guys are rude."
The source also claimed that the crew has been "cheap" when it comes to tipping hotel workers.
"They are presumptuous and cheap. Nearly every one of them have stiffed their bellman and servers, and what's worse is they have tons of stuff."
A rep for Madonna said that she typically takes care of tips once the stay is over, and a hotel spokesperson called the allegations "fabricated", saying: "They are a polite group. We are happy to have them stay with us."
