MADONNA SET TO TAKE HER ADOPTED CHILDREN TO MEET THEIR BIOLOGICAL FAMILIES

The Evening Standard reports that Madonna is to take her adopted Malawian children David and Mercy, to meet their biological families. A source said the children “can proudly show off their dance skills and meet their relatives”. ………………………………………… I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at the source’s alleged quote. I bet their families can’t wait to see those Vogue moves. Anyway I would love to be a fly on the wall during those meetings.

JILL SCOTT TALKS INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIPS

In the latest edition of  Essence singer Jill Scott addresses the subject matter of interracial marriage. My new friend is handsome, African-American, intelligent and seemingly wealthy. He is an athlete, loves his momma, and is happily married to a White woman. I admit when I saw his wedding ring, I privately hoped. But something in me just knew he didn’t marry a sister. Although my guess hit the mark, when my friend told me his wife was indeed Caucasian, I felt my []

UK FILM: 4.3.2.1 POSTER – A LESSON LEARNED!

Last week the official poster for the up and coming Noel Clarke film 4.3.2.1 debuted online, which I later featured on Mad News. I also asked Noel a question regarding the poster which surprisingly didn’t seem to go down too well. He didn’t take to kindly to being questioned about the decision to feature one actress on the poster, clad only in underwear. Click here to read the post/subsequent heated debate if you missed it. Since then I have received emails from his supporters criticizing me for “calling Noel out like that” (erm all I []

PRIME MINISTER GORDON BROWN LOOKALIKE WANTED!

With just two months to go before the General Election, photographer Alison Jackson hits the road in a desperate bid to find a stable of political lookalikes. As the clock ticks towards May 6th she hunts for a Gordon Brown, a Peter Mandelson,  an Alistair Darling. Her whistle-stop tour of the country takes her to locations significant in each politician’s political journey.

SHOCK JOCK HOWARD STERN BLASTS PRECIOUS STAR GABOUREY SIDIBE

US shock jock Howard Stern and his co-host Robin Quivers are cruel beasts. I’m not  even surprised. I expect this from Howard.  Listen to what they had to say about Precious star Gabourey Sidibe. But Gabourey is having the last laugh because the actress has signed on to play a recurring role on Showtime’s upcoming series The Big C and will also star in the forthcoming movie Yelling To The Sky. Congratulations Gabourey.
