Comments on Crazy Days and Nights: Madonna's Former Chef Spills Secrets

Well, years ago I could see her being selfish and not giving her children enough attention, but I think she is doing what is necessary to maintain her career.

It is mind-blowing to think she would adopt another child while divorcing, but its all for career PR. If I had small children at her age and had the means to spend a lot of time with them, I would. These are the years when you want to be most involved with their schooling and development, not to mention just being there for love and support.

I haven't really seen a lot of pictures of Madonna with or without her kids, maybe a few with Lourdes when she is traveling. I also wouldn't go necessarily on what a former chef has to say, because there are a lot of kids out there that are abused every day by parents with way too much time on their hands. Even just a half hour of true devotion would be way better than that because they are well cared for.

Whether this story is true or not is a moot point for me. Why would she adopt another child while she's divorcing? Both are emotionally charged situations. Personally, I think she'd be better off taking care of the emotional needs of her other children through such a difficult time than add on top of that.

Lourdes spends time with her daddy, Carlos Leon, and his family. I've seen them together a few times in Manhattan. She seems like a well adjusted girl - no airs -, so Madonna must be doing something right.

Lisa, I agree. Just because we don't see things doesn't mean they don't happen. Celebrities aren't obligated to share anything with the public.
We want to believe this is true because no one really 'likes' Madonna. It's coming from the Enquirer so there's already a credibility issue. The chef would have signed a confidentiality agreement, no? Yoga and pilates ARE exercise. People don't do four hours a day of each; they alternate on different days. And certainly not on just a cup of coffee. I'd believe two hours a day of one or the other after breakfast. Too many issues for me to believe this. Again we're being taken for idiots by a rag.

Madonna has never truly spent time with her children, except those that were in her womb. Even then, she was distant. Btangelina is 10 times worse though.

I'm not about to judge her based on the fact that she doesn't trot her kids out in front of photogs so that it would appear she's spending time with them. I'm assuming the Madonna brand doesn't run itself, so she does have a job and part of that job is staying in shape.

Madonna was never the mother type to me. I was shocked when she had Lourdes. She is not the stay home mother type, more business type.

and Brad and AJ look tired enough for me to believe they spend time with all those kids.

Madonna herself has admitted that she doesn't spend much time at home, that she thinks about being domestic but when she is home all she can think about is working and working out.

I know that Lourdes and everybody else will have a fine education and have access to great stuff. David will have a good life with all of his material needs taken care of. As a mother though, I can't imagine leaving my kids so often when Madonna has enough money not to have to work all the time.

"...how do we know that branjelina are not doing photo ops with the kids for publicity?"

Body language. You can tell how much the kids adore them, and vice versa. And how comfortable they all are around each other. Compare any picture of them to the one with Madonna and Mercy. And I'm not even a Branjeloony fan, but I do think they both really love and dote on all the kids.

2009-04-17T11:30:23.866-07:00

Is it commentary on me or Madonna that I read that sentence as "Eric Ienco used to be a cock for Madonna?"

"When she adopted little David, he arrived at her home from Africa, and three hours later, she left to do pilates."

That's utterly disgusting.

It's all about the image. I think we all saw through Madge's 'public exterior' a long time ago.

And speaking of image - could someone PLEASE tweeze that poor little girl's eyebrows?

no she doesn't need to adopt another kid. it's sad...

2009-04-17T11:20:44.289-07:00

no she doesn't need to adopt another kid. it's sad that madonna spends that much time per day exercising and still looks no better. smh. an extreme health nut.

umm...how do we know that branjelina are not doing photo ops with the kids for publicity? although, i 'suspect' they care affectionately for them.

i have no problems with nannies. as long as they are assisting the parents and not taking over for the parents. with the latter being the norm unfortunately.

2009-04-17T11:19:48.964-07:00

as much as i love pilates, i can't imagine putting that above a child i'd just brought home 3 hours before.

btw, what kind of contract must the cook have had if he can talk about these things...assuming the story is true, which i think we will all tend to believe it is.
