The Material Girl has nearly finalized her adoption of an African infant. Madonna, the woman who adopted the name of the mother of Jesus, an English accent, bisexuality, and Kabbalah, wants in on another trend. It does seem to be a sign of her aging ... read more |

Since this column has been hibernating longer than Rip Van Winkle (5), I’ll give ya’ll a brief rundown of how things work.
