Whatchoo Lookin At

Now that the father of Madonna’s adoptee-in-progress David Banda has changed his tune, Madonna is set to go on Oprah, according to People.com.

On Sunday, the child’s father, Yohane Banda, 32, told the AP he didn’t realize Madonna had intended to take the toddler “for good” when he agreed to the adoption.

“Our understanding was that they would educate and take care of our son just as they were doing at the orphanage,” Banda said. “I am just realizing now the meaning of adoption.” David’s mother died a week after he was born, and Banda gave him to the orphanage because he was unable to care for him.

Still, a week earlier Banda had spoken out against human rights groups trying to halt the adoption, telling PEOPLE, “As David’s father I have no problem (with the adoption), so what is their concern?”

Apparently, people’s concern was that Madge’s need to jump on the Brangelina adoption bandwagon was taking precedence over the child’s best interests, that’s all. In response, she issued the following statement to People magazine:

“I expect to be given a hard time about many of the things I do. I know they are provocative and I prepare myself, but I did not expect the media, the government or any human rights organizations to take a stand against me trying to save a child’s life.”

She knows everyone thinks she’s a self-centered, publicity-loving, cold and calculating, manipulative shrew!

But really, why is is that everytime a celebrity gets criticized or caught doing something wrong or stupid, they have to go whine to Oprah about it? And people just eat that shit up? I mean, Oprah’s questions are about as hard-hitting as a basket of puppies. Then again, Oprah does have about 99.8% of middle-America hypnotized into agreeing with whatever she says. The episode will tape on Tuesday and run on Wednesday, so if I start with any Madonna-loving posts on Thursday, you’ll know what’s up.
