I’ll Have That Grandmother In The Window

It’s official. Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie are the proud parents of an adopted one-year-old Malawian boy. Several children protection groups have raised concerns about the adoption’s expedited timing and Madonna’s planned $3 million donation to help Malawian children. Eye of the Child, a Malawi child protection group, has been very vocal in its condemnation of the adoption, likening it to a purchase of property by the pop star (see CNN story here).

Madonna’s publicists have not made any comment about the Malawian adoption, but they confirm that Madonna is not planning to make any changes to her current Christmas shopping list, which includes his-and-hers pairs of Iraqi twin babies, a younger and more hip grandmother, and a new brother-in-law as replacement for Ritchie’s annoying brother Kevin.
