Update:Madonna’s rep has denied the rumor, saying,
Madonna is indeed going to Africa to continue her work with the RaisingMalawi organization. She is overseeingthe building of a children’s health care center.
She is absolutely not adopting another baby. I know that has been a rumor ever since she started the adoption process with her son David but it just isn’t true.
Originally posted 8:09 am: Life & Style is reporting that Madonna is planning to adopt again, with husband Guy Ritchie. The celebrity parents who already raise, Lourdes, 9, Rocco, 6 and David, 18 months, are said to be looking at adopting again. Madonna has apparently travelled to Malawai so that David can get to know his father;
She wants David to have a relationship with his biological father.
And this visit isn’t just a vacation, but rather apparently a mission to repair her image before she goes through with the proceedings for another adoption.
She is going under the guise of a vacation, but she’s not on a vacation – she’s on a mission. She intends to adopt another baby soon, but first she wants to repair her image from all the bad press she got over David’s adoption. She plans of having David’s father being part of their extended family. She wants to show that her adoption was an unselfish act of love and not what it was portrayed as in the media.
Madonna’s rep confirmed that she is travelling to Malawai but denied any plans for an adoption.

What do you think – will Madonna adopt again?

David Banda Ritchie could be the next Tony Hawk. The Daily Mail has photos of David, nearly 18 months, enjoying a ride on his skateboard with his nanny while his mom Madonna watches on. Says a family friend:
Skateboard rides are David’s latest trick. He is also already allowed to sit on a pony – obviously being steadied and not on his own. Madonna is keen to get him riding and even playing polo when he is old enough. She is very much into getting the kids out into the open air and getting them involved with animals. A good day out would be for them all to have a picnic out in the grounds of Ashcombe (their country house). David is a happy little boy and gets on famously with the other two.
David’s older sister and brother, Lourdes, 10, and Rocco, 6, were also reportedly skateboarding around in the street near the family’s London home.
Madonna and Guy Ritchie have been married for six years.
Looks like Britney Spears isn’t the only celebrity mom making car safety errors in judgement. As soon of our readers noticed last week, Madonna and family loaded up into a Cadillac Escalade SUV after Kabbalah services in Los Angeles.
A witness told Us Weekly, "There was no car seat. (Madonna) sat in the middle row, and they left with David on her lap." X17online has photos of the family in the car but some of our readers have pointed out that they can see a car seat.
Then the next day, Madonna sat in the middle of the car with Rocco not buckled up.
Madonna’s representative denied any wrongdoing, saying, "Proper security measures are always taken for Madonna’s children."

UK MSN has a new article on celebrity mothers and their children. The first soon-to-be-mother they mention is Charlotte Church, who announced her pregnancy last week. Paparazzi is the main issue they mention in regard to Charlotte; the price for the first pictures, and how any new ‘mum mishaps’ will be "amplified ten-fold if they occur within view of the parazzi."
Next if Britney Spears. The star recently entered rehab, with one of the main speculated reasons being how she is constantly hounded by the paparazzi and how every mistake is captured.
Carlos Leon is reportedly upset that his daughter, Lourdes, 10, has lost her New York accent. In Madonna‘s concert film that was out last year, Lourdes "sounded like a New York kid," yet at the premiere of Arthur and the Invisibles last week, she had a "full-on British accent."
Madonna’s rep replies,
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 can I 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 Ritchie, and Carlos.
