Madonna
The revenue curves of the pop singer Madonna for the year 2008 looks quite lucrative; with about $100 millions from the tours she made, topped with the various endorsements that she has and not to forget the one million albums that she sold in the US. But then she was in the public eye not because any of the above. She was in the lime light because of “Mercy James”
The 3 year old girl that she wanted to adopt from an orphanage at Malawi attracted attention, there are numerous objections being raised around it.
In fact, James Kambewa, the child’s father also asked the Malawi Law Society to cease the proceeding of the adoption basis that he was the biological father of the child that Madonna was intending to adopt. This case is noting but a clear indication of how people are obsessed with the private life of celebrities like Madonna.
There is a lot of media intervention in the lives of such celebrities, who are at the top in what they do professionally. Intrusion of such sort should not be encouraged. People are also interested to see what the celebrities do in their private lives. This could pose problem especially one for Madonna who is facing issues while adopting a kid, which in itself is a great gesture. Madonna mothers Lourdes, Rocco and David Banda. The power these kids would have being the child of such a celebrity wields enormously to them anyway. Their photos, being infants though, could double the sale of a magazine. What these kids wear become trends and the shots of their candid daily routine are sold for a fortune.
