Madonna's kids seem perfectly normal and happy to me. Trust me, we'd know... the paparazzi would be on it like white on rice. Just saw a pic of her and her daughter, and her daughter looked just like little Miss Valley Girl... LOL, and she looked happy as a clam. And also, why is she made out to be a sinner and Angelina a Saint? Compare... Madonna's background was wild... but Angelina's was, um, freaky. (Don't get me wrong, I adore Angelina... and am not Madonna's biggest fan by a long shot, but lets call it like it is.) I'd say that this adoption has turned into a circus, but its not her fault, though. As for the poor kid... On the one hand, it's odd that she would pick a child who was photographed with a living father, even though according to the story, his wife and two sons were deceased. Mind you, she's probably giving this child more than a fighting chance to survive, considering those odds. Also, can you imagine, once the adoption falls through and for the rest of this kids life, he's gonna think, wow, I coulda had a life in the States, living with a rockstar! Or he might just think, who cares who the heck she is, I'm glad dad and I stuck together. What I'm worried about is that the kid is now up for adoption anyways... so he might as well have the life she can offer him. Or not. Maybe a wonderful local family will be found. On the other hand... what if another suitable family isn't found... sigh. Actually the fault is not hers. It's with the adoption agency - they should know their own laws. And they offered her a buffet selection of kids to pick from knowing that. So IMHO they mislead her. And now she's committed to her charitable foundation there, and may lose the child anyways. I'd cut my losses, go to a country where I could legally adopt a child, and give them my charitable time, money, and efforts. Her other option, which we've all talked about is that she could easily fund this child to allow him to stay with his dad. Which would be the best option of all...

I think that is best I've seen her look and it is evidence that sometimes less skin is better.

I'm happy for Madonna if her reason for adoption isn't for publcity. That's my take on it. I agree with you Mame about the agency. Britney looks great!

Wesley Snipes Indicted on Tax Fraud Charges WASHINGTON - Wesley Snipes was indicted Tuesday on tax fraud charges that accuse the actor of trying to cheat the federal government out of nearly $12 million in false refund claims and not filing any returns for six years. Prosecutors said Snipes fraudulently claimed refunds totaling nearly $12 million in 1996 and 1997 on income taxes already paid. The star of the “Blade” trilogy and other hit films such as “Jungle Fever” and “White Men Can’t Jump” was also charged with failure to file returns from 1999 through 2004... <snip>

NORM: Wynn accidentally damages Picasso Pablo Picasso's "dream" painting has turned into a $139 million nightmare for Steve Wynn. In an accident witnessed by a group that included Barbara Walters and screenwriters Nora Ephron and Nicholas Pileggi, Wynn accidentally poked a hole in Picasso's 74-year-old painting, "Le Reve," French for "The Dream."
A day earlier, Wynn had finalized a record $139 million deal for the painting of Picasso's mistress, Wynn told The New Yorker magazine The accident occurred as a gesturing Wynn, who suffers from retinitis pigmentosa, an eye disease that affects peripheral vision, struck the painting with his right elbow, leaving a hole the size of a silver dollar in the left forearm of Marie-Theresa Walter, Picasso's 21-year-old mistress. "Oh shit, look what I've done," Wynn said, according to Ephron, who gave her account in a blog published on Monday. Wynn paid $48.4 million for the Picasso in 1997 and had agreed to sell it to art collector Steven Cohen. The $139 million would have been $4 million higher than the previous high for a work of art, according to The New Yorker. Cosmetics magnate Ronald Lauder paid $135 million in July for Gustav Klimt's 1907 portrait "Adele Bloch-Bauer I." Wynn plans to restore "Le Reve" and keep it. BARRY'S BACK Barry Manilow made a hip-happening entrance over the weekend. During his introduction Saturday, the Las Vegas Hilton headliner came onstage in a wheelchair at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. As Nicholas L. Ribis, president and CEO of Resorts International and co-owner of the Las Vegas Hilton, welcomed Manilow, his backup singers came out in nurses' outfits. Holding up his newly won Emmy, Manilow bounded out of the chair and put on a performance at an event presented by Resorts International and the Atlantic City Hilton, affiliates with the Las Vegas Hilton. Manilow, who recently underwent outpatient arthroscopic surgery on his hips, returns to the Las Vegas Hilton on Nov. 8. CASEY'S KID KXNT-AM, 840 will announce Kerri Kasem, daughter of radio icon Casey Kasem, as the new co-host for the morning talk-show opposite Alan Stock.

for those who remember Llyod Eisler as the one from skating with clebs that left his pregnant wife for his new skating partner, here is another scandal!!! Eisler's emails led to ban 1-year suspension for skating star Remarks called inappropriate Canadian figure skating star Lloyd Eisler was suspended from coaching for one season because of emails he sent to a 15-year-old girl he was coaching that were deemed inappropriate by Skate Canada, the Star has learned. Sources familiar with Skate Canada's investigation into the 43-year-old former world pairs champion's conduct said they took the very rare decision of banning him because of sexually suggestive emails he sent to the young skater in the spring and summer of 2005. <snipped> Eisler's suspension will not prevent him from coaching in the U.S., where he is currently working with skaters in California, because Skate Canada suspensions aren't honoured by U.S. Figure Skating. A grievance would have to be filed there for the U.S. to investigate the matter. <snipped> Toronto Star

What a disappointment.. he and Isabel were big favorites of mine!! Seems like sad and seedy celebrity news these days.. like Heather's accusations about Sir Paul. The timing seems pretty convenient since she's probably trying to get more money in the divorce settlement and Yoko Ono is suing someone.. But the father of the boy Madonna is adopting has spoken out and basically asked the child protective people where they were when his family needed help and told them to back off, that he wants this for his son. (which tells us that the father isn't asking for protection, but of course isn't the point of the investigation, I guess.

They are my favorite pairs figure skaters of all time. Of course, while reports of his recent activity influences my opinion of him as a person, it doesn't affect my opinion of Isabel or my opinion of their skating. All this divorce stuff is getting very ugly. We have the Sara stuff and now the Heather Mills stuff. Some very nasty accusations.

I dont buy Heather Mills accusations. Looks like Stella was right all along when she strongly objected to her father marrying Mills.

Here is an article from The Toronto Star. snip ... Mills vs. McCartney In the court papers, Heather Mills' accusations against Paul McCartney, which he `vigorously' denies, include that he: Stabbed her with a broken wine glass. Jealously discouraged her from breast-feeding the couple's baby daughter. `They are my breasts,' Mills says he told her. Forced her to cancel scheduled surgery on her amputated leg stump to accommodate his vacation plans. Would not allow her to get out of bed before he was ready to get up in the morning. Called her an "ungrateful " when she refused to use an office he found for her in New York. Refused to intervene to have a story in London's Sunday Times killed that said, "The best thing to ever happen to Heather Mills was to lose her leg." Ignored her pleas not to be left alone at an isolated cabin with their daughter Beatrice. Link to Toronto Star Article
