Madonna's Nanny to Write a Tell All Book


A woman claiming to be a former nanny for Madonna is currently shopping a tell-all memoir detailing the inner workings of the Madonna-Guy Ritchie household. EW.com has seen the 80-page proposal, which is being circulated among major publishing houses. The document proposes a book that will reveal intimate information gleaned from Melissa Dumas' service as Madonna's nanny. Sample chapters and chapter summaries provide a laundry list of alleged details pertaining to Madonna's marriage to Ritchie, their children's behavior, the family's participation in Kabbalah, and the motivation behind Madonna's decision to adopt a boy from Malawi. The pitch also contains personal photos of Madonna's family, as well as photos of the alleged nanny playing with Madonna's kids.

The proposal includes a copy of an unsigned nondisclosure agreement that the author claims Madonna issued to her only after she had already resigned as her nanny.

Sharlene Martin, the literary agent listed in the proposal, would not confirm nor deny an affiliation with the proposal or the listed author. She also would not confirm or deny that the proposal has been bought by a publisher. Neither Dumas nor a representative for Madonna responded immediately to efforts to contact them for comment.

Did Madge Pull a Britney?


Superstar Madonna has come under fire for failing to properly restrain her 17-month-old child in her vehicle.

Much like the controversy surrounding pop star Britney Spears last year, Madonna's adopted son David is at the centre of media attention after he was recently photographed not strapped into a car seat.

The 48-year-old and husband Guy Ritchie loaded their three children into their SUV after March 2 services at the Kabbalah Centre in Los Angeles, but baby David was not properly restrained.

A witness tells American publication Us Weekly: "There was no car seat.

“(Madonna) sat in the middle row and they left with David on her lap."

The following day, Madonna allegedly defied the law by once again by sitting in the middle of the vehicle with six-year-old son Rocco not properly secured.

A representative for the singer slams the claims, saying: "Proper security measures are always taken for Madonna's children."

Biological Father Wants A Visit With Madonna's Son

The biological father of Madonna's adopted son David is hoping the superstar brings the child a visit when she returns to Malawi next month. Madonna is scheduled to return to the country with husband Guy Ritchie to open a $2.92 million Kabbalah Centre that the singer has funded.

David's biological father Yohane Banda would like the star to bring David to visit him during the trip.

Banda says, "I can't wait to hold him in my arms again. I want to see if he still recognizes me after all this time. I want to see if he still looks like me with all the British food he is eating."

Madonna and Ritchie filed interim adoption papers to adopt the child in October. Malawi law requires them to wait up to 18 months for adoption to become official.

It's Kabbalah Halloween Time Again for Madge & Guy


It seems as if the long arm of the law has finally caught up with Madonna - possibly for offences including impersonation of a 1920s flapper.

But believe or not, she is actually out celebrating a religious festival.

The distinctly camp cop who has her under arrest is none other than her husband Guy Ritchie, and the couple are in fancy dress while attending an event run by the mystical Jewish sect Kabbalah at its centre in Los Angeles.

Madonna, a leading supporter of Kabbalah, was the star guest at the festival of Purim, which celebrates the foiling of an ancient plot to kill Jews in Persia.

While the 48-year-old singer had her hair bobbed, wore a feather boa and carried a cigarette holder, 38-year-old Ritchie appeared as a 1970s Village People-style police officer complete with sunglasses and big moustache.

Madonna, nicknamed Madge by her husband, recently donated £1.5 million to set up a Kabbalah centre in Malawi, the country from where she adopted baby David Banda last year.

Ritchie is reported to have become increasingly critical of her devotion to the sect, which has been criticised for promising happiness to wealthy donors.

Carlos Leon Annoyed by Daughter Lourdes Brit Accent


Carlos Leon, the father of Madonna’s eldest child Lourdes, is reportedly angered that his daughter is now speaking with a British accent.

10 year old Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon was born in the US but has lived in London since she was three after mum Madonna married Guy Ritchie.

A source told the New York Daily News that Carlos was annoyed to hear that Lourdes had “a full-on British accent” at the recent UK premiere of Arthur and the Invisibles.

Madonna’s spokesperson Liz Rosenberg insists the reports are exaggerated but: “It wouldn’t be surprising if Madonna’s daughter has some sort of English accent, since she lives in London most of the time. To me, she always sounds a little American and a little British. All this seems perfectly normal to me.”

“What I can tell you, she’s a natural beauty - no surprise there. She’s frankly a very unspoiled and lovely child, and for that I give credit to Madonna, Guy and Carlos.”
