I noticed Madonna’s recent (couple years ago) attempts at adopting foreign children like Angelina, didn’t work well for her. But Angelina gets praise and works with the united nations, etc. In an interview Madonna seemed very upset and just couldn’t seem to understand tha here she was adopting a child yet people and the media were seeing her actions with disapproval.

She gives all her money to that Kaballah cult.

“She does nothing for other people.”

Art is not nothing. Neither is entertainment. And to give ALL your money away, while it may seem grand, is in reality careless and a bad example. Counting on the fact that she’ll probably “make another million next week” is another bad example.
I’m glad she didn’t give her money away.

Madonna is a Libra North Node who isn’t using it. *shrug*

I’m an 80′s child (’81), and I looooved Madonna. She did a lot for me as far as being an outgoing/showy kid. I loved to dance and sing her songs in front of ANYONE that would watch me. I still sing a couple of her songs at the top of my lungs in my car (“Into the Groove” mostly), it takes me back to the confidence and care-freeness you have as a child. Nostalgic, I know.

Her phony British accent annoys the hell out of me though.

I liked her in the beginning of her career. She strikes me as a person who would step on anyone’s head to get ahead,be in the spotlight and make a buck. She tries to be shoking and ya know nothing shocks me anymore so it is old news,lol. Guy prob divorced her so he could have his balls back.

She did see above, re: balls,LOL.

That 20-year old Brazilian model she’s been cougaring around is pretty hot I must say.

The woman is just plain chilly. Her virgo moon makes my Cappy moon look positively squishy.

As for Madonnna and giving, the Kaballah thing is new. She is not a giving person as all because I saw her on Oprah some years ago (perhaps 5?) she started pontificating to Oprah about giving… she stated she had just found out about it and Oprah almost fell out of her chair having had that Angel Network for YEARS at that point.

You know how you can tell when Oprah thinks someone should shut up? You just don’t be as rich as Madonna is and reveal you have never given anyone anything PLUS when you do discover at 40 years old that you might MIGHT donate something, you don’t preach about it to people like me… or Oprah or any of the other hundreds of millions who give as a matter of course.

So this is where I get my info. I heard her say it.

Where does the un-givingness come from? Leo’s are supposed to be generous, ya? Or is she an extreme case of EGO, that she doesn’t think of anyone else, period? I couldn’t imagine being as wealthy and blessed with fans as her and not giving back.

But I still love the 80′s entertainer in her.

XenoVega – you don’t know a good publicity stunt when you see one. Besides, we had her chart so we were not working blind.

In whatever case she took a distinctly different path and to be honest I was never interested in her anyway, my sister was.

I think it may not really matter if we are rich or not. I must honestly admit I have learned to give only in my 40s. And while I am not proud of this fact, this is the truth. Before, every time I was asked to give something I used to resist it, not realizing it made me suffer even more. But I guess I used to equate money with my self-worth. Which is not, and once you realize you just give and that’s all that matters, it’s a big “duh”. Now I give my time and energy by doing what I can and as I am not a rich person, give money when I can afford.

I am not justifying Madonna in any way, but I seem to remember she grew up in a lacking environment and maybe for her, first knowing that what she earned was ALL for herself was important.

Now that I think about it, my parents did not give freely at all when I was a child, which further made me a non-believer of spontaneous giving.

Maybe, especially for people who have been giving all their life, it is hard to understand, but we all grow up at a different pace, and people can change once they realize that this can make your life much richer.

Well, Loon, I just figure she;ll be born poor next time and probably desperately so. I let the universe mess with stuff like that. But that is what she said… and what Oprah said.

And then I said, ‘I have to turn off this tv of delusion.

I don’t know who donates to what, I think a lot of big names like to have people know so it gets out if they donate to this or that, but I have an idea there may be many that donate anon or don’t make it public who they do donate to.

I really feel if they are working their asses off in whatever field, they can do whatever they want or don’t with the proceeds.

It would make me sad to think that some donate to things that hurt people or animals but that is that person’s choice and Karma one way or another, and I sure as hell can’t stop it.

If I had like lets say Oprah’s money or Madge’s I would donate to SPCA’s and Animal shelters and starving Children… which of course would piss off people that say Children first.

I think when you have that kind of coin, you just plain piss people off LOL That is why I would definitely go the anon route and let people hate me for not being a donater.

too bad cyndi lauper never made it so big. dad says madonna ran right over her career, but without the heart.
(i adore cyndi lauper. she’s the woman the little me wanted to be

and “material girl” has long creeped me out, once i got over the catchy beat and effects….

To be honest I can’t stand Madonna because she’s a bit too egocentric for my taste. Plus, I heard she treated her siblings like shit, especially once she became famous. I can’t stand a bad Leo. Sorry.
