Do Good, Do Bad, Get Slammed Either Way

Madonna and ChildrenTurns out going on a bender in Vegas isn’t the only way to get slammed by the press.

First, Oprah took heat for opening a multi-billion dollar school for girls in South Africa. Now, the celeb Mother Theresa known as Angelina Jolie is under fire for slamming Madonna.

(Is this a slow week for celebrity news or what?)

Angelina Jolie and SonJolie, the celeb who seems to be hooked on adoption (a good thing!), told a French periodical that she questioned Madge’s choice to adopt baby David in the first place from a nation where “there is no legal framework for adoption.”

“Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where he was born,” Jolie reportedly said in an interview published by Gala. “Personally I prefer to stay on the right side of the law. I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is legal.”

But Jolie says she didn’t intend to criticize Madonna, and that the article put her statements out of context.

Meanwhile, little David’s reportedly doing very well — now that he’s away from the spotlight and in the care of his new parents.

Is it just me, or does this situation evoke memories of little Elian Gonzalez?

If anything, all this press over the adoptions by Angie and Madge will make celebs better informed of the potential consequences of shopping for babies in any old country.
