Catty Cat Calls the Pot Black
.
Angelina Jolie has slammed Madonna's recent adoption of a Malawian boy, insisting that the pop star should have adopted a child from a country in which there was a precedent.
According to New magazine, a British publication, Angelina was not impressed by Madonna's decision to adopt a child from Malawi. She said, "Madonna knows very well that she adopted from a country without legal adoption, so it was an unusual situation."
Jolie and her boyfriend, Brad Pitt, are also the parents of an adopted African child, daughter Zahara Marley. Jolie and Pitt however, chose a country - Ethiopia - where adoption of children from outside the country was not uncommon. When asked if she expected to deal with the type of media backlash that Madonna experienced should she adopt again, Angelina said, "I don't anticipate that being a problem for me because I don't intend to adopt a child from a country where there is no legal adoption."
Seems Angelina has a short memory. She seems to have forgotten the furor over her adoption of Maddox when it was reported he might not be an orphan whose mother had died, but rather may have been sold by his birth mother in a desperate attempt to escape a poverty-stricken life. The actress allegedly said: “I will never give my little boy back. I’ve given him a home, I’ve given him love and he’s mine.”
The FBI closed down Seattle International Adoptions Inc., used by Jolie to adopt Maddox, after its former owner Lynn Devin pleaded guilty to false claims that some children the agency handled were orphans.
She who lives in a glass fishbowl, might think twice about throwing stones...
Meanwhile, MADONNA and GUY RITCHIE's marriage will fail if they adopt another child, according to the film director's father.
The MATERIAL GIRL is reportedly looking to adopt a baby girl to add to her three-strong brood, but Ritchie's father JOHN believes the extra pressure could seriously threaten the couple's relationship.
John insists son Guy is a perfect father to LOURDES, ten, ROCCO, six, and Malawian DAVID BANDA, one - but admits the couple are going through a difficult patch.
He says, "They've had a difficult time. (David) is beautiful and Guy is very good with him. But I don't think he'd want to adopt again."
Ritchie and Madonna reportedly were fighting in public recently, with Ritchie calling Madonna too controlling! Imagine that!
