‘I Went to Malawi and All I Got Was This Stupid T-Shirt’
Madonna’s bid to adopt a second child from the African country of Malawi was turned away today by that nation’s High Court. According to Reuters, the ruling is good news for Malawians who felt that Madonna received special treatment when she was allowed to adopt a 13-month-old boy in 2006.
Reports that the Material Girl’s Plan B included an attempt at adopting the Honorable (and reportedly downright adorable) Judge Chombo were apparently just rumors.
Judge Chombo stopped short of recommending that Madonna settle for a safari hat from the airport gift shop.
