Madonna has for a while now proclaimed herself the be-all, end-all of working moms, juggling a massive music empire with three kids and a rigorous exercise schedule. In a People magazine cover story a while back, the interviewer struggled to compare Her Madgesty to your everyday working mom:
Like many working mothers — even those who have an assistant and at least one nanny on hand, as she does — her life is “exhausting.”
“There isn’t a second in my day that isn’t taken up looking after my family or thinking [about work].”
It’s kind of a shame then that she’s prioritizing her new album over the adoption of her youngest son, David Banda, a Malawi AIDS orphan (or not, since he actually has a dad). Madonna has been granted her request to postpone the adoption hearing until May 15, after she has returned to London from promoting Hard Candy overseas.
The adoption has been controversial from the start, when she was rumored to have skirted the proper channels to bring the boy back to England immediately.
Does David Banda have a passport? Is he going to be with his mom on the road, or stuck back in England with the nanny army for the next few weeks? It’s odd enough that the adoption has taken nearly 18 months to finalize, why push it back even further?
[Like many working mothers — even those who have an assistant and at least one nanny on hand, as she does — her life is “exhausting.”]
Pardon? this woman has a TEAM of assistants — everything from business, to personal trainers, to personal chefs, maybe she even has one to whipe her a** too.
Just sayin’
