Madonna premieres her new movie
It seemed like a perfectly glitzy night out when Madonna, clad in a jaw-droppingly beautiful Gucci frock, debuted her new movie, I Am Because We Are, at the Tribeca Film Festival last night.
No, it wasn’t another starring role in one of her husband Guy Ritchie’s movies, à la Swept Away, but a serious documentary on orphans in Malawi — including footage of her very own adopted son, David Banda, before he became part of her brood.
Madonna produced and narrated the film. Explaining her connection to the work she’s done on behalf of the orphans in Malawi, including spearheading the aid group Raising Malawi, Madonna told New York magazine, “I myself feel like a motherless child. I grew up that way.” Perhaps it’s finally time to retire the “Material Mom” catchphrase.

Wow, has Madonna ever met a topic that she won’t exploit or market? “Footage of her son before he was adopted.” Of course. The girl truly believes that she’s going to save the world in “4 Minutes” if we’ll simply believe what she extols. Interesting. “Beautiful Gucci frock?” Really, looks like a table cloth gone bad.

I think it’s such a shame that when celebs try to do something good to make a difference in the world, people like these other commentors say things like “zombie hands”. What a shameful world we live it.

Can’t stand Madonna or Mariah. No more, please.
