Malawi court rejects Madonna's adoption request

Madonna visits Salaza village near Lilongwe, Malawi. In a surprise move, a judge yesterday rejected her bid to adopt a second child from the country.

LILONGWE, Malawi – Wealthy, famous, fabulous at 50 – but not a mother of four.

A judge has rejected pop star Madonna’s a bid to adopt a second child from Malawi.

The judge said she will not bend the country’s residency rules, even though Malawi’s child welfare minister had publicly supported the application and ordinary Malawians have said Madonna offered 3-year-old Chifundo “Mercy” James a chance at a better life.

Madonna’s lawyer, Alan Chinula, said that he had filed notice for appeal in the Supreme Court of Appeal. No date for a hearing was immediately set, he said.

There was no immediate comment from Madonna or her spokeswoman in New York.

In a lengthy ruling yesterday, Judge Esme Chombo sided with critics who have said exceptions should not be made for the star who has set up a major development project for this impoverished, AIDS-stricken southern African country.

Chombo said other foreigners have adopted children from Malawi, but the only case in which some residency requirement was waived was to allow Madonna to take her son David Banda out of the country in 2006 before that adoption was finalised in 2008.

TOP 9 GONE FROM IDOL

Megan Joy, Allison Iraheta and Anoop(dawg) Desai had the unfortunate distinction of rounding out this week’s bottom three on Wednesday night’s “Idol.” 

Before the big announcement was made, Ryan Seacrest asked Simon Cowell if any of three contestants were worth saving. “One,” Simon replied.

Ultimately, Megan was revealed to be the contestant with the lowest number of viewer votes, perhaps due to her Tuesday night performance of Bob Marley/Lauryn Hill’s “Turn Your Lights Down Low,” which Simon called “boring” and “indulgent.” On Wednesday night, Megan said of his criticism, “I love you Simon, but I didn’t really care.”

Would Simon be there for Megan in her greatest hour of need on the show? “Megan, with the greatest respect, when you said that you didn’t care, nor do we,” Simon said, speaking for the rest of the judges. And with that, Megan was ousted.

Also on the show, “Idol” champ David Cook sang “Come Back to Me” and received a special surprise afterwards: a plaque in honor of his debut album going platinum and selling over a million copies. Lady Gaga also belted out her hit “Poker Face.”

CANADA ROCKS AT THE JUNOS

In a world full of Hip Hop & violence we have found our redeemer and that is undisputably Canada’s music industry. Last nights Junos’s was a glimpse at what is happening in music around the country. Bands like Nickleback & Simple Plan rock the house.

And the reining Bryan Adams performed his new hit Walk On By in an acoustic version with violin which left us speechless. Sam Roberts took the artist of the year award and was humbled by the attention and thanking his family for allowing him the time and space to follow his dream. Of course as previously predicted Nickleback walked away with a majority of the awards. Even Russell Peters put on a show at the onset with Indian dance and then street dancing.

Overall it was an impressive evening with Canada’s best talent on display.
