OPPSS...she did it? ...Just when you thought she would finally concentrate on her music, she turns around and follows in the latest craze in town....YES YOU GUESSED IT TOO- MRS KEVIN FEDERLINE IS set to follow in her idol Madonna's footsteps and adopt an African child, it has been reported.( OHHH NO, SOMEBODY HELP THIS POOR CHILD WHO WILL BE JOINING THE FEDERLINE'S FAMILY...............)

The 'Toxic' singer - who has two sons, Sean Preston and Sutton Pierce, with husband Kevin Federline - has been inspired by Madonna's recent trip to Malawi to adopt a 13-month-old African boy, called David Banda.

Britney is now looking into the possibility of welcoming a disadvantaged child into her own family.

A source said: "Britney has always been inspired by Madonna - both musically and by the way she lives her life and conducts herself.
"She really admires what Madonna is doing at the moment and adopting is something which she could see herself doing one day. She wants to have a large family."

NOW SERIOUSLY, are these celebrities genuine? Are celebrities doing it for the right reasons and not to make a statement? ......

..Just a thought- So now we ask: what's this latest clamour for darkies? One answer can be found in the life and works of three men who share more than just the 'B'- Bono, Bill Gates and Bill Clinton. The three (and to a less extent, Bob Geldof and Prof Jeffery Sachs of Columbia University), are kings-of-the mill in the aid business.

Bono (real name David Hewson), is the lead singer of the superstar Irish rock band U2. But he is now as famous for his relentless campaign to force rich nations into providing debt relief and Aids treatment for Africans. He attends special UN summits, the prestigious World Economic Forum, and even G8 meetings, as a matter of course. The two Bills are of course the richest American on one hand, and arguably the most famous on the other. All three have done good by us.

So there we have it: some observers think this rush to Africa is the latest manifestation of "envy". While, Tony Blair or George W. Bush can pledge billions of dollars (or Pound Sterling) to Africa, and actually make it happen, Angelina Jolie can't. And while Gordon Brown, Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer, or Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi, appear to get some real work done at the end of each day, George Clooney appears to accomplish nothing when he's on a film set. And so on and so forth. Moreover, with a few exceptions - feel free to insert John F. Kennedy and Clinton - politicians and top business people lead fairly bland private lives and eschew the over-the-top lifestyles of Hollywood celebrities (I mean what's up with Elizabeth Taylor getting married eight times; including twice to one guy?)

It's therefore a cocktail of pressures that has turned our continent into a stomping ground for adoption-crazy celebrities - a desire to appear normal; a chance to escape the harsh northern winters on UN-sponsored junkets; and perhaps some mild interest in black people. But I've got to say this, it's getting gooey....( syomoegerere Kyanze)
