Just Like Oprah!

Filed under: Madonna > Inspiration > Oprah Winfrey

madgeandkids.jpg

Madonna love for and commitment to Malawi is deep!

Not only did she adopt her son, David, from there and she just finished a documentary about the country, but…

Reuters reports that Madge plans to build a girl's school in Malawi, just like the $40 million girls academy Oprah opened in South Africa.

M's lawyer said that a task force of 4 prominent Malawians have been tapped to spearhead the project and that the real costs of the multi-million dollar project will be known within the next 2 weeks.

Construction is slated to start some time this year.

Good to see her Madgesty giving back generously to little David Banda's home country.

As a side note, the Malawian government is supposed to make its final ruling on Madonna's adoption of David on Thursday.

    That is nice of her and everything to do, really, so dont think im putting it down. But is this her way of getting publicity? She has not done so much PR for Hard Candy as I thought she would've done.

    Wow! Madonna sure looks like she is craving a large, green, ripe, juicy cucumber. Up her asshole. Oh yes, I can just see it in her eyes. Little Miss Pop Princess would love for me to shove my huge cucumber into the gaping, pungent black hole that is her cunt. I would even go so far to say that she may arrive at my house any minute, BEGGING me to stick my vegetable into her vagina. I'd let her fart on my face if she did.

    I just can't take her seriously. I've gotten over saturated on the whole orphan-thing with Brad and Aneline, Oprah, Bono and now her. I think its great work that she's doing but I still see Madonna as the woman who gave a bottle a blowjob on playing Truth or Dare.

    QUIT THINKING IN A FRAGMENTED FASHION YOU DUMN IDIOT. HELPING A CHILD, IS SIMPLY THAT! HELPING A CHILD!!! IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT COUNTRY THEY ARE FROM YOU RETARD! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO HELP ANYONE!!!??? PROBABLY JUST SITTING ON YOUR FAT ASS MOCKING THOSE THAT ARE ACTUALLY TRYING TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. DUMB COW!

    of course people will put her down. even if it WAS about publicity to her, does it matter in the long term when people are benefiting from it? and anyone who has a negative word to say, I'd like to know the last time they did something to help loads of people have a better life.

    I KNOW CUCUMBER'S POSTING IS VERY OFFENSIVE BUT WE MUST KEEP IN MIND THAT HE IS ONLY 11 YEARS OF AGE.

    HOPEFULLY HE WILL GROW OUT OF THIS SILLY PHASE! MEANWHILE I APOLOGISE TO ALL THE GROWNO-UPS WHO HAVE HAD TO PUT UP WITH HIS CONTINUOUS POSTING OF INFANTILE NONSENSE.

    Hopefully this will show once and for all that she isn't just seeking publicity. If she really was the greedy attention whore that all the haters say she is, do you honestly think she'd drop $40 million of her own money just to get some write ups in the papers for a month?

    Hilarious! can you believe that a decent Malawian would want to send a daughter to a school started by a worldwide whore? That is a prize!!!! I mean, is that a joke? Who would send their DAUGHTER to a school Madonna was involved in?????? Malawi has such a huge problems with AIDS (and the resultant orphans) because condoms aren't used. Period. Madonna should open up a condom use school- she'd be pretty good at demonstrating that. And what is WITH calling anyone who disagrees with you a "hater"? Everyone who posts here is calling it as they see it. I don't have to hate madonna just to know a whore when I see one.

    isn't it awesome how madonna when to africa on a big crusade to help save the aids infected orpans and ended up with baby david who doesn't have aids and isn't an orpan? guess she cares about orphans with aids, just as long as they don't actually affect her directly! go to africa and steal a baby, yay!!!!

  40. Love Madonna says – reply to this
    40

    That's a wonderful thing she is trying to help the community there, and not just coming for a PR visit like Angelina does.
    .
    I also like how she is actually giving David a stable, nurturing environment and not parading him all over the world without giving him the opportunity to have his own friends and school.
    .
    Madge has actually given a child a home. Not a hotel room and a nanny, in beween photo ops like Angelina.

  41. Unicef giver says – reply to this

    Can't that cunt come up with an original idea? She's copies others, but she brags about it more so it makes her look like she's the first one doing this. I wish she would just STAY AT HOME and RAISE YOUR OWN CHILDREN, not others.

  42. Dr Two Faced says – reply to this
    42

    What will it be? A place where girls can learn to be a spitting example of an American whore? What better role model than Madonna. When her children grow up and see their mom's past behavior they'll turn out schizophrenic.

  43. meh says – reply to this
    43

    It was a condition of her purchase/adoption of David,
    that she build a school.
    So now that she might seal the deal on the kid,
    she'll follow through on the school.
    .
    SO if she didn't get the kid, she would have bailed on the school?

    … yep, help her poor US record sells. Dude, just stick to those lameass idiots overseas as us here in the United States try to keep Hillary's campaign alive. You can buy Africa for all they care, it won't get people here to buy more records nor care about you anymore.

    Now, let's get Hillary into the White House!

    Re: Rhonda C
    Yes, she said at the time, it WOULD be a kabbalah school.
    Now it's just a girl's school?

    Give me a break, why can't these philanthropists do something in our country??? David is here, the school won't benefit him, and ther eare so many logistics into getting children into the schools…
    Help those around you first and then spread the love…

    you people that think she would spend 40 million for publicty to sell her record are so stupid. she is doing something great and i hope everyone of you do the same in some way. Trust me….put your energy in building someone up instead of ripping them down.

    This is great news! Madonna can easily pay for this with the deal she made with scalpers. She has many retarded fans that will shell out $500 per ticket and justify the price by convincing themselves they are doing good for others and their "Queen of Bullshit." How noble.

    WHY are all these stars building outside of our own problems. THERE ARE NO schools for AUTISTIC Children. When there is an epidemic of 1 out of every 100 boys being diagnosed, why cant they build better schools here in the US that help these poor kids. !!!!

    That's so nice….Did I not predict the only way she'd get attention after Miley was to do something with a nonprofit that she controlled?
    Yep…I was right…
    Nice to go to David's country….because the school system, in her hometown of Detriot, no less, are in such fab shape.

    This proposed school would merely be a front for her pseudo religious Kabbalah sect. She and her ilk want to brainwash the children of Malawi to spew their artificially created brand of Judaism. This should be so apparent to everyone.

    I am Malawian and tired of this Madonna crap. we malawians are not a bunch of unfortunate souls lost in the dark until her highness madonna came and rescued us. Leave us the fuck alone. Or be polite about it. not the usual I am coming to save you from poverty and disease crap. THERE IS POVERTY AND DISEASE IN THE US OR UK. until we see that school. or whatever else she plans to do… shut up. and give the world more crap music and sexy grandma.

  75. So unoriginal--as usual says – reply to this
    75

    As with everything else she does, Grandmadonna is unable to do anything original and has to copy someone elses ideas or actions, even an act as cliche as adopting an African child. At least this one–unlike all of the others–benefits someone other than herself, unless you count the publicity which she is trying to garner in order to "reinvent" herself into the next Mother Theresa because she's getting too old to continue being a pretend musician. Sorry, Grandmad, but the Mother Theresa role has already been given to Angelina (not to mention everyone else who does it because they care rather than because their ego demands it).
