Ah well, Ricky Martin is gay and Brad Pitt probably has no choice, being a friend of Goober's and under criticism himself... |

How the hell would Ricky Martin know what type of mother Madonna is? And really, who cares what Ricky thinks about the adoption. He hasn't done anything of relevance in years. Does he even know Madonna or ever met her kids? I still find it strange that Manny's famous friends haven't come to her defense, well besides big ole gay Rosie. Brad's Goober's pal so when put on the spot with a question like, how do you feel about the Madonna adoption, of course he's gonna play diplomat. Alicia is being a twit. I'm most disappointed by her comments just because I like and respect her as an artist and care more about what she thinks than the others. She should read more before she goes on the defensive. I know she's done a lot of charitable work in Africa but no one's judging her actions and probably wouldn't be judging Manny's if she'd taken the proper channels. |

Confusing stuff posted at Drowned site:
and
Is this about the guy wearing the mask? I thought his name was Avid Merrion, or is that an alter ego of his? |

My understanding after skimming some web page: Leigh Francis is the guy's real name. His fictional character is Avid Merrion, a character who is obsessed with celebrities and who sometimes dresses up as them. I posted about this in a separate thread, only I was interested in the part where he says he feels that Madonna got her lawyers to remove his skit from any future rebroadcasts of the 2006 Euro MTV awards show. Regarding the Swedish reader comment: "Bullying people in the media?" As if Madonna hasn't used her fame to rip on others before. Besides, she's a public figure and not all parodies of a celebrity have to be flattering to suit the whims of the fans. |

Well, I don't know why she's sticking up for Manny, but at least it seems she didn't adopt her child based on him/her being the cutest little photogenic infant. |

~~~ EDIT BELOW ~~~ I've never heard of Tony Christie before. CHRISTIE BACKS MADONNA ADOPTION I think these celebrities who have adopted who are defending Madonna are doing so because they're taking the criticisms of Madonna personally. In other words, I'd say to Mr. Christie: I'm quite sure you adopted out of altruistic motives. I'm sure your adoption was totally legal. But with Madonna, neither of those comments are true. So stop defending Madonna, Mr. Christie - and that goes for Bono, Ricky Martin and the others. Excerpt from the Christie article:
Wasn't Oprah suckered by some guy on her show who wrote a book saying he went through its content in real life, then it turned out he was lying? If Oprah can fall for that con and believe his lies, what makes the Madonna adoption scenario any different? From Drowned Madonna
![]() And it's not so much that Madonna adopted a child in and of itself - it is the unethical way in which she did so that caused the upset. That, plus the child has living relatives in Malawi, and she took him from them. Taking everything into account that I've read about Madonna over the years, I know that Madonna never offered to help Yohane (notice that she didn't make this claim until weeks after people brought it up; she didn't mention it in her initial rebuttals) - she's a liar. |

Right, it's Oprah who doesn't get it. Skank paid off the Malawian government, took a baby that WASN'T an orphan, and had him delivered by UPS or something to her door. Couldn't pick out his clothes, and took off an hour after he was brought, to go to the gym. She maybe saved a life, but it's the slimy way she went to do it that has people angry. |

Madonna: Malawian orphans need rescue
David was being fed and clothed by the orphanage, and his dad, grandmother and other relatives were visiting him there. Just because David is now in a family who will buy him a porsche when he turns 16 doesn't mean they "saved his life." |

Did Madonna give any of her own money to this UNICEF/GUCCI deal, or was she just trying to get others to pony up checks? ![]() :puke3: Gwyneth: Madonna is so generous
If Tom Cruise likes and admires Madonna, that means he still has tons more "auditing" to do. Those pesky Thetans are really doing a number on him... Man-donna Tribe cites USA Today as the source for this:

What? More generous than Bill and Melinda Gates who are giving away literally billions of their own dollars, with the goal of ultimately donating nearly all of their fortune? They are not making relatively small donations then urging everyone else to step in and give. Nor do they have a hidden agenda of pushing their spiritual or religious beliefs on those they're helping. Give me a break.

Interesting to note who was NOT there.... Well intentioned is great but New Age Colonialism isn't the answer if these people really want to save lives and not just go back to their conspicuously consumptive lives. |

Normally I like Lauper, but defending Madonna on this matter (or just about most topics) makes her stupid (in this particular instance): Cyndi Lauper defends Madonna’s relationship [with Jesus Luz] Lauper: 'Madonna Just Wants to Have Fun' |

And to think I had a crush on Mr. Jackman at one time.Let's suppose I grant him his point that Madonna is not trying to adopt children from a desire of wanting publicity. That still does not account for her huge ego (see the "Ego" thread and the "Savior Complex" thread). I think it pumps up her ego for her to think of herself as a do-gooder. It's less about helping other people or caring about them, as it is making herself feel good about herself and getting pats of approval on the back from other people. I don't think Madonna really got into this charity adoption stuff so much until she got wrapped up in Berg's Kabbalah Cult. Is helping poor people and orphans her own idea, or did Berg instruct her to do it? Support for Madonna from Hugh Jackman as Mercy's father steps in
