Will adorable little David Banda have to make room in his super-swanky new
nursery for a fellow Malawian? Last week, Madonna was quoted as saying that she was soon
planning to adopt a baby girl from Malawi "in order to redress the balance."
But the proselytizing pop icon's rep, who's probably still recovering from
the PR fiasco that was the first -- and still to be formalized -- adoption, insists she's not bringing
home a sister for David, 1, Lourdes 10, and Rocco, 6.
"Madonna has stated that she wishes she could adopt all the children of
Malawi, and in a way I guess she is by building her orphan care center through
the Raising Malawi Organization," her spokeswoman tells Life & Style
magazine. "But there are no plans to actually adopt another child."
Also not ready to join the stork's delivery route is Janet Jackson, who is once again pooh-poohing rumors that she
and longtime love Jermaine Dupri are soon to be elbow-deep in poopie diapers.
Reports began circulating recently that the most well-adjusted member of the
Jackson family (a dubious honor, to be sure) was bailing out of her tour in
support of the underperforming "20 Y.O" because of her allegedly great
expectations.
But her rep insists to Us Weekly, "No, she is not pregnant and she is not
canceling her tour."
Heather Mills, meanwhile, is attempting to refurbish her image as a
Beatle-destroying harpy by pouring her heart out to "Extra." In a sit-down set
to air this week, the soon-to-be ex-Mrs. Paul McCartney denies she's looking for a massive
divorce pay-out.
"Eighty-five percent of my income goes to my charity," she maintains. "The
word gold digger doesn't go with that. If I was a gold-digger, I would have a
lot of money in my bank account. I'd be worth millions and millions."
Heather also dismisses allegations that she hooked up with Paul, with whom
she has a 3-year-old daughter, Beatrice, because of the impressive size of his
bank account, insisting, "I'm a good mother. I'm a good person. I fell in love
for the right reason. I fell in love unconditionally."
Also not true, she asserts, is talk that she's been getting physical with her
personal trainer, Ben Amigoni.
"I haven't got a lover," says Mills, who also declares she'll "never" again
tie the knot. "At the moment, I'm focusing on my daughter. It's totally made
up!"
And finally, Kimberly Stewart wants her famous father to plug his piehole
when it comes to discussing her health issues. Turns out she's a might miffed
that Rod told Rolling Stone that she's suffering from a "very
serious liver illness from drinking too much."
"I love my dad but sometimes he has a big mouth and not just when he's
singing," Kimberly, 27, explains to People. "I don't have a liver disease."
According to Rod's underemployed offspring, "I was exhausted and feeling sick
from burning the candle at both ends, and my doctor told me to cut back on
drinking and smoking, which I have, and I feel so much better."
As for Rod, who told the mag, "She said to me, 'Dad, I'm half Scottish -- I
thought I was allowed to drink a lot.' I said, 'No, darling, it doesn't work
like that,'" he insists his comments were taken out of context, and says his
little girl is "perfectly fine now." |
