Mercy’s Dad Finally Shows Up
Monday, May 4th, 2009
The bio-dad of the little girl Madonna is struggling to adopt had finally surfaced—just in time to get his 15 minutes in the spotlight.
According to AFP, James Kambewo, a Malawian man claiming to be the father of three-year-old Chifundo “Mercy” James, has spoken out on the eve of a court hearing on Madonna’s appeal to legally adopt the child.
In a phone interview, Kambewo stated, “I want Mercy back. I am the biological father of Mercy,” adding that he wanted to “take care of her myself. I don’t have the money to pay a lawyer, but I am looking for one so that I can issue an injunction stopping Madonna from continuing to seek to adopt my daughter.”
So he doesn’t have the money to pay for a lawyer, but he wants to “take care” of a small child? A child he admits he’s never even met? The more I hear about little Mercy’s “family,” the more I think she’d be better off with Madonna.

Madonna’s Ready To Work Out
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
Madonna took a nasty spill from a horse over the weekend, but that can’t keep the fabulously fit 50-year-old away from the gym!
Madonna’s personal trainer Tracy Anderson told Usmagazine.com that the singer’s OK. “She’s going to be fine. She fell on her butt, We’re going to train tomorrow.”
Well, that’s certainly getting back into the saddle. Anderson elaborated on her client’s regime. “We have our set training. She’s like a professional athlete. She can’t mess around with her training. I mean, she has to be able to perform in front of 70,000 people who are sucking the life out of her, and she’s singing and dancing. There are no shortcuts when you’re training in that way.”
Looks like Madonna won’t be retiring to her new NYC mansion anytime soon.

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009
After months of looking, Madonna’s finally found the perfect NYC crib for her family—on the Upper East Side.
The NY Post says the pop superstar has purchased a four-story, Georgian-style townhouse on East 81st Street for about $40 million. The home boasts 13 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, a two-car garage, a 3,000-square- foot garden, nine fireplaces, an elevator and a wine cellar with a grotto.
Sounds like Madonna will have lots of room for more kids—if she can find a country that will let her adopt them.

Madonna Plans Home In Malawi
Friday, April 10th, 2009
She may have left Malawi empty-handed, but Madonna’s not giving up on adopting little Mercy James.
The UK Sun reports the superstar has plans to build a home in the African country in hopes of satisfying the 18-month residency requirement for adoption. A source told the Sun, “Madonna has a big, beautiful plot of land over there already. She’s planning to build a girl’s school in the Chinkhota village and those designs are well under way. But she’s gone back to the designers and asked if they could accommodate a family home on the plot or on adjacent land.”
Will this convince Malawi’s officials to allow her to adopt Mercy? When will she have time to spend 18 months in Africa?
