Madonna visits the Raising Malawi Kabbalah School in the Namitete District Lilongwe, Malawi, on March 29, 2009, accompanied by her daughter Lourdes Leon, and son, David Banda. Madonna touched down over the weekend in her bid for 4-year-old Chifundo James, whose name translates in English to Mercy. The girl’s 18-year-old mother died shortly after giving birth and it’s unclear if the child has any surviving relatives. This morning, Madonna attended an hour-long closed-door hearing in Malawi’s Lilongwe High Court as Judge Esme Chombo heard her application to adopt a second child from the African country. No official ruling was made, and Madonna’s case has been adjourned until Friday, when a second hearing will take place in the nation’s capital.

Ashton Kutcher strips down to his boxer briefs as he films an action scene for an upcoming film on a yacht in the South of France. At one point Ashton gets “thrown” overboard.

Call me crazy, but this would rub me the wrong way if I were Bridget Moynahan (his biological mother)!

Gisele Bundchen has never met Bridget Moynahan, the mother of her husband Tom Brady‘s son, she tells the May issue of Vanity Fair.

“I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it’s not like because somebody else delivered him, that’s not my child,” she says of John Edward Thomas Moynahan, who was born in 2007. “I feel it is, 100 percent. I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that’s important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine.”

Bundchen – who wed Brady in February, as Usmagazine.com exclusively reported — says it was “definitely a surprise” when she learned that Moynahan was pregnant shortly after she began dating the New England Patriot quarterback.

“In the beginning you’re living this romantic fantasy; you’re thinking, ‘This can’t be true, it’s so good! And then, Whoops—wake-up call!’” she says.

But standing by Brady as they figured things out “was a blessing, because otherwise I don’t think I would have known what he was made of, and he wouldn’t have known what I was made of.”

“I was like, You have the heart in a good place!” she says. “It made me feel more in love with him; it made me realize who he was.”

Brady, she says,”is very close to his family. He’s Catholic. His parents have been married 40 years. He’s got a pure heart. That’s all that matters – he’s got the purest heart.” (More pictures after the jump!) (more…)
