Call me cynical, but this whole "oh, I don't really know what's going on with my character after all this writer DRAMA" just smacks of a publicity stunt. And I so don't care anymore.

Mariah drinks wine with a straw because it makes you drunk a lot faster - she's obvsly smarting from the recession like all of us.

I think Save the Children makes a good point - unless Madonna is investing the $ in an NGO that already does work on the ground there, has built relationships with the local folks and supports grassroots programs, then simply dropping in and "building and orphanage" (that clearly doesn't have local support) won't do any good. It's the celeb equivalent of doing 2 weeks of HIV/AIDS education development-tourism in Africa when you finish your degree - makes you feel better, but does nothing for people there and probably actually just draws resources away from programs that need them.

@gonewilde: Having read Paul Theroux' "Dark Star Safari" I have a very low opinion of NGOs in Africa. It would be refreshing to find a model to deal with African problems in an Afro-centric way rather than imposing Western values.

But on the other hand, adopting one child at a time and raising him or her in unimaginable luxury hardly seems like the solution to mass starvation, tribal warfare, genocide, AIDS epidemics, overpopulation and so forth.

And it might be noted that Malawi is becoming one of the most prosperous countries in Africa due to their change of agricultural policies and governmental intervention in same.

Oh Miley. That quote would make me sad, but I saw you on the cover of Glamour, so I have used up all my sadness. Really, Glamour? Really? Is it too much to ask that you at least pretend to cater to readers over 14?

I can't wait for Joel McHale to make fun of this.

How does it feel to be the last person on earth to realize "Livin La Vida Loca" was all a great, big beard of a lie? Ok, maybe I should mince words even less: he's gay. Sorry, toots.

@tscheese: I kind of like her. I feel like she's shoveling the world's bullshit right back at us. I think she woke up one morning, realized she was pretty, blonde, had mediocre talent, a weird sense of humor and no shame and decided to see how far she could take it. It's kind of funny. I don't like her music, but I'm definitely a fan of her.

@crazylazy: She's only been blonde for a year or so. I saw her at Lollapalooza in 2007 and she looked quite different with her natural long black hair. Well... she was still pantsless then, so I guess she didn't look that different.

David did not recognize him. "He asked me who I was."

Madonna has a map with arrows pointing to Malawi to show, so David knows where he is from, but there are no photos of his biological father???

@hello.kitty: pictures and actual people can look very different. Especially when you're only 4 or 5 years old, you might not totally piece together that someone in photographs actually exists in real life. I think we're all being a little hard on her.

@hello.kitty: I don't have any pictures of my children's birth parents for them to see. Why??? BECAUSE THEY ARE MY KIDS. Shouldn't be that hard to understand. She didn't just borrow David for awhile, he is her son. If David's birth Dad didn't want him adopted he didn't have to sign the papers.

@SweetSerengeti: Sadly, he wanted the money more.

But maybe he also meant it would be wonderful for his son to grow up in a different world.

I find this all tragic.

Not your adoption, though. I suspect the playing field between you and the biological mom was much more level.

Some are saying the crying was staged because Miley already knew she would be winning the award. She Tweets: "For all the haters saying I knew about my KCA before hand have nooo idea what they are talking about! I was so suprised! :) thank u again xo"

What is this "nooo" of which you tweet, Miley? Also, who is this mysterious "u"?

in other news, yet off my lawn, and is this what you kids call music these days?
