Angelina Jolie Slams Madonna Adoption


Angelina Jolie has slammed pop superstar Madonna for adopting Malawian child David Banda in an "illegal" manner. Jolie, who has two adopted children of her own, thinks Madonna went about finding a child to adopt in the wrong way.

If you haven't heard, Madonna brought 1-year-old David to the UK from his home country of Malawi in October of last year. He will stay with Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie for 18 months before Malawian officials decide whether or not they are legally able to adopt the child.

In an interview with French magazine Gala, Jolie says, "Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where he was born. It's a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption.

"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 illegal."

However, Jolie believes Madonna's intentions were good and is amazed at the media reaction to her adoption.

She adds, "I have been horrified by the attacks she's been subjected to. All that should count is the happiness of her little David."

Brangelina Roughs Up Mumbai

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have incurred the wrath of the locals in Mumbai, India for their bodyguards' boorish behavior. In the midst of a location shoot for her upcoming film A Mighty Heart Thursday.


It was claimed that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's bodyguards "roughed up" parents and students at the Anjuman-e-Islaam Islamic seminary.

According to US Weekly:


The problems began when students were released from their classes at 12:30 to find the gates to the school closed and locked. One parent complained that the children remained locked in for four hours by the film crew.

Parents of children at the Anjuman-e-Islaam school filed a complaint, which states that one bodyguard shouted "get out, you bloody Indians," at the parents. He also reportedly "pushed a small child" and "a lady who was trying to spot her children."

The producers of A Mighty Heart released a statement blaming the paparazzi for the incident. "When the gates were opened to allow the parents in to collect their children, the paparrazi rushed into the school, causing confusion," the producers said.

Jolie's bodyguards have repeatedly been the focus of criticism since their arrival in India last month. In one instance, a bodyguard was caught on tape grasping a photographer firmly by the throat. Last week another photographer complained that the guards threatened to throw him off a moving train.

Publicity stunt or not, Brangelina are not to be messed with...
