Madonna Furious With Hubby

Madonna is said to be furious with husband Guy Ritchie after she found out about his recent night of partying.

According to the Sunday Mirror, Madonna was already annoyed with Guy because he refused to go with her to their adopted son's home country of Malawi due to work commitments.

Guy angered the 'Jump' singer further, as Madonna found out that "too busy" Ritchie spent a night partying at a London club last week.

A source revealed, "They call or text regularly, but ended up having a massive argument. Guy just wanted to meet some mates for a few beers while his wife was away. But Madonna was hurt he didn't join her in Malawi."

The Grace Madonna Wants

This is the three-year-old girl Madonna wants to bring home from Malawi. Orphan Grace was picked from a DVD of 11 orphans before the singer flew out to meet her, reports DailySnack.

The first selection of female orphans was filmed for Madonna and then she asked for another 15-minute film of Grace.

Madonna, 48, brought adopted son David Banda and daughter Lourdes to meet Grace earlier this week.

A source close to the orphanage said, "Grace has no relatives."

"At first all 11 from the original DVD were there. Then all the other children went out and there was just Grace."

"Madonna was chatting with her...They were together for about 15 minutes. Madonna looked very happy with Grace."

Madonna To Adopt Or Not?

The Sun reports that Madonna is to adopt a three year-old girl from Malawi, called Grace.

A source close to the singer said, “It was always Madonna’s intention to adopt two orphans from Malawi — a boy and a girl.

If Madonna does go through with the adoption, then Malawi adoption officials could be very strict after the uproar surrounding Madonna's adoption of David Banda from the same country.

However according to the BBC her spokeswoman said, "She is overseeing the building of a children's healthcare centre. She is absolutely not adopting another baby."

In November Madonna told Newsnight that she would consider adopting another child from abroad.

Justin Writing For Madonna

Jutin Timberlake is writing songs for Madonna's new album, reports The Sun.

Justin confirmed, “I’m working on some stuff for Madonna.”

The album is set to have a hip-hop feel, with Timbaland and Pharrell Williams also working with Madonna.

Madonna Wants To Help Out

Madonna wants to help her friend Stella McCartney record her own album, reports The Sun.

Fashion designer Stella is the daughter of Beatles star Paul McCartney.

Madonna said: “I asked her for fashion advice and I told her, if she ever wanted to do a record, I’d gladly help out.”

Now she is passing fashion advice on to her daughter Lourdes.

Madonna said, “Often I have to tell her, ‘Please put on some more clothes’.”

Madonna Moving To New York

Madonna is moving her family from London to New York to be closer to her dad as he fights cancer, reports The Sun.

Madonna, who now lives almost permanently in the UK, has already been to the US to see Tony Ciccone twice this year.

Her fears for his deteriorating health have forced her to uproot the family from London and plan for them to spend much more time in the US.

A source said: “Madonna, Guy and the kids are definitely moving to New York this year. The deal is to spend as much time there as in London — if not more. Guy hasn’t been as keen on the idea but Madonna is insisting they are moving.”

Madonna’s dad has been receiving treatment for colon cancer in Leelanau County Hospital, Michigan, which is relatively close to New York. Recent reports suggested he was making good progress — but Madonna fears he is putting on a brave face to benefit family and friends.

“The move will be a big upheaval but Madonna needs to be near her dad and the support network of her closest friends,” added a source.

Madonna has narrowed the search for a new house down to two properties.

One is a flat and the other an impressive townhouse — what they do have in common is an asking price of more than £20m [$40m].

And she has made it clear that the new place is HER purchase and will be in HER name — without any mention of Guy.

Madonna is also working on a new album, with the work split between Los Angeles and London.

Madonna has taken her son David for a drive, with him on her lap.

The singer was pictured in her Escalade ESV holding 17-month-old David on her lap.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: "There was no car seat. She sat in the middle row, and they left with David on her lap."

Madonna adopted David Banda from Malawi.

Madonna's Former Nanny Plans Book
