    Malawi father drops fight to stop Madonna adoption

    By Eldson Chagara

    June 14, 2009

    BLANTYRE (Reuters) - The father of a Malawian girl being adopted by Madonna says he has dropped his fight to get the child back and has urged the U.S. pop star to take good care of her.

    Malawi's Supreme Court on Friday approved Madonna's application to adopt a second child from the country, overturning a lower court ruling.

    James Kambewa, the father of 4-year-old Mercy James, originally said he opposed the adoption.

    However, he told Reuters on Saturday he had decided not to fight the case, asking only that Mercy be brought up knowing he was her biological father.

    "Let the child go ... My only plea to Madonna is that she should seriously look after the child," he said in an interview.

    "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."

    A Malawian court ruled in April that Madonna could not adopt Mercy because she was not a resident of the southern African country.

    The Supreme Court overturned that decision, saying the child, who has been living in an orphanage, would have a better life with the singer. She never lived with Kambewa.

    "When the child was born I was never told," he said.

    Rights groups have accused the government of giving Madonna special treatment by skirting laws preventing non-residents from adopting children.

    The government came under fire in 2006 after Madonna, who has supported orphans in the country through her Raising Malawi charity, adopted 13-month-old David Banda.

    Officials at the charity said Mercy was expected to be flown out of Malawi this week.

    NKM was fucking fantastic and is one of her top 10 best performances ever. At most of the shows I went to NKM got a bigger reaction from the crowd than the preceding song (Vogue). When the show ended people (flop fans :chuckle:) would ask on the way out "What song was that after Vogue?! It's amazing!"

    Madonna not planning Jesus wedding

    By WENN.COM

    Madonna has dismissed reports she's planning a lavish Kabbalah wedding to toyboy lover Jesus Luz after his father sparked a storm of gossip with marriage talk.

    Luz's proud father Luis Heitor Pinto da Luz told Brazilian magazine Quem that Madonna was planning to wed his son in New York.

    He said, "The ceremony (that) will link up my son Jesus Luz and Madonna only confirms that he is extremely happy."

    But Madonna insists the reports are false, questioning whether Luz's father even spoke to the publication.

    A representative for the pop superstar tells In Touch magazine, "This is completely and totally not true. Jesus' father didn't make any statement on this subject."

    Madonna, 50, started dating the 22-year-old Brazilian shortly after splitting from husband Guy Ritchie late last year.

    “Liz, she is never going to be what some of her fans want – a woman in classic glamour couture, all the time. She is on the edge, fashionwise, and every other way. Look, she was having fun that night. She wasn’t taking herself or her clothes seriously. Given her workload and a personality that never lets her rest, we’re always happy when she just has fun!”

    Madonna’s hot, again

    Caitlin Moran

    Up. Madonna

    The Mail’s campaign against womankind has hit a new peak in its coverage of Madonna’s not-horrible desire to adopt a Malawian child, Mercy. On Monday, Madonna attended a high-profile fashion event in New York, wearing an amusingly silly couture outfit by Louis Vuitton. “Is that really a suitable dress for someone trying to win an adoption case, Madonna?” screeched the Mail. “She wore an outfit that breached the limits of vulgarity, and displayed her typically arrogant thinking.” The Mail seemed to believe that the items of clothing automatically made her unfit for motherhood. Back in Malawi, Mercy’s biological father — who emerged at the exact point that a multimillionairess announced she wanted to adopt the child — commented: “I don’t think Madonna . . . portrays good morals. In Malawi, women respect themselves. Cultured women do not go about half-naked. Spare my Mercy that scandal.” Conventional Wisdom feels discomfited living in a country where the views of one of the biggest-selling newspapers accord with those of an ill-educated Malawian security guard who abandoned his unborn child and its mother the moment he learnt of the pregnancy. Still, the magazine’s nice and glossy, isn’t it?
