  1. As much as I hate to say it I don't think this adoption will ever happen for Madonna.

    I think she should make with the the best she can and just be able to develop a strong relationship with Mercy as a maternal figure rather than her mother.

  2. :manson:

    Angelina has been working with the UN close to a decade now, she's INCREDIBLY involved with her work, everyone knows it, everyone see's it. Naturally she's going to get a free pass when compared to Madonna who's known more for her media whoring ways than her charity work. It's just the way the cookie crumbles.

    Madonna is just as involved with Raising Malawi as anything she's done.

    The point is, no one should be getting a "free pass" - or at least that's what the media and this judge want us to believe. So if Madonna is a middle-aged baby-buying woman, then so is Angelina - end of story. It shouldn't make a difference that she's made some UN work. Madonna has been involved with HIV/AIDS since the '80s when it was still taboo, let's not forget that.

    I'd like to see Angelina try to adopt if she gets divorced from Brad. I'm sure the media won't give two shits about her "incredible involvement" with the UN then. That is how the cookie crumbles.

  3. How can people say she jumped the queue? From what I can see, there aren't really very many if any other U.S. or UK citizens who are going to Malawi and trying to adopt children. Now if there were people who tried to adopt Malawian children and they were denied the opportunity to do so, then the critics would have a point.

    You're absolutely right. I mean, there were stories about her wanting to adopt Mercy ages ago; so now it's public and she's gone people think she filed the papers last week or something. Anyway, I think we've established that the press have it in for her anyway, so it's futile to even argue with it. It will pass in time.

    But even if she did jump the queue (which I don't think she did), I still don't think it's such a big deal in the grand scheme of things. But of course the press (and most of the public at large, it seems) just refuse as a knee-jerk reaction to accept the notion of her doing something good or altruistic. Big deal.

  4. approximately around the realease of her 1st Live Nation studio album :wow:

    It makes perfect sense.

    '98-'01 = OMG we love her; great new original music, she's a mum, she's married, cool Britania etc.

    '01-'02 = start of negative tide post-non-GHish-DWT; Up for Grabs and GHV2

    '03 = American Life - peak of negative tide

    '04 = start of restoration with RIT

    '05-'06 = Confessions: the 3rd coming

    '07-'09 = adoption, plastic surgery, divorce, Hard Candy, adoption part 2 - peak of negative tide

    '09-'10 = start of restoration with GHV3 (fingers crossed) and S&S Part 2

    '10-'11 = first studio album with LiveNation blows everyone away: the 4th coming

    :wow:

  5. OK GANG -

    I just snapped up Block C tickets for London O2 5th July.

    Of course I was there GC for Cardiff opening night, so I'm OK with not getting the best seats ever this time.. but if it is fab (which I'm sure it'll be) then I may do a 2nd Euro date, let's see.

    But for now YAYAYAYAY S&S Part 2 here I come :wow:
