Is this the latest fad? From Angelina Jolie to Madonna – their new hobby – offspring import accessories. Is there an underlining reasons? For fame perhaps?
I guess we will never know the true intentions of these celebrities, but just hope they’re doing it out of love, because if it is some form of gimmick to get media attention, then these attention whores are nothing but child kidnappers.
What are your thoughts on celebrity adoptions?

Yeah, I really hope it is out of pure love. These kids need so much more.

I think Jolie feels she need to save every kid on the street. For whatever reason I’m not sure.
For Madonna….hah no comment.

JOlie – i think has the childrens cause on her mind – she has been involved with children agencies right from the begining.
see if you have the money n u think you can emotionally support a child – i would encourage adoption –
madonna im not so sure – though after having her own kid she seems to have matured but you never know

Jolie is like mother mary for some reasons but she’s just not virgin. Dude, this is the 3rd post of the week with St.Angie Jolie. Jebus, slightly overdosed.

I do believe it has become very fashionable in the celebrity universe these days. There is a whole insights article on it I could share with you.
The ones who really cared about real-world causes (poverty eradication, hunger, etc…) were 3 fellas whoc put their money, time and effort into it long before it became fashionable:
1. Bob Geldof and Live Aid 1988
2. Bono, and 3. Quincy Jones – with their high-level campaign for the eradication of 3rd World debt, which has seen them lobbying intensely at the White House, United Nations, NATO, the Vatican and the World Bank, amongst others.

Genuine or not? I don’t think I want to be their adopted child.. the paparazzi’s attention is enough to dive me bonkers.
June 1st, 2007 at 2:18pm
i want to adopt them instead… the stars.. ha ha
June 1st, 2007 at 3:23pm
I guess there are some celebrities that adopt kids for the right reasons but when celebrities like Jessica Simpson (read is somewhere once) wants to do the same, you know something is not right! LOL
June 1st, 2007 at 4:49pm
Giddy Tiger Yeah, though I find it hard to believe.
Che-Cheh Hmmm…kinda dodgy isn’t it?
visithra Let’s hope they don’t change their tunes some 5 years down the road…
Lex She’s not a virgin?
No way, one can never get overdosed by Angelina Jolie.
Keropok Thanks man, I find it difficult to accept the intentions of Jolie and Madonna…hmm…
Jemima LOL. From another angle, why not la? Can brush shoulders with the rich and famous…
clement Can afford ka?
Jewelle Jessica Simpson??? Oh no! Looks like it’s a FAD! I hope that it doesn’t catch fire!
June 1st, 2007 at 5:17pm
well what ever the reason… hopefully its a better life for the children now…
June 1st, 2007 at 6:27pm
Angelina’s making it a good life out of the elsewise poor living of the kids. Well tat’s beside the point. She’s way too hot and attention wise, she deserves it..
June 1st, 2007 at 6:51pm
helping the youngest..poorest..is doing a good deed
but put it as a hobby then no good.
children aint toys for collection, they need lotsa tender loving care. if one can afford to bear with all cost why not?
just tat i can’t do such a great job now!
coz i not even can take good care of myself
kudos to both of them..:)

Hmmm.. it could be fad like u said. But for Jolie, it looks pretty innocent though, she always been involved in this charity kind of thing esp with children.
Madonna, hmmm. Not quite sure. Might not be for the attention, she doesn’t attention, she is THE attention. Remember that infamous bra?
I was asking ppl the other day about adoptions. In Malaysia, it’s so frigging hard if you’re single. The chances it’ll be approved is next to none. And those in Cambodia, Vietnam (the places the celebrities go)… the fees are skyhigh. Come to think of it, maybe only the celebrities could afford this?
Whatever it is, good for the kids that got adopted lah.
June 2nd, 2007 at 12:03am
Hahhaa! Nice write up! But i think that Angelina Jolie is sincere in adopting those kids. While for madonna, i think she’s just imitating Angelina Jolie for publicity sake! Hehehe!
Thanks for dropping by! Wanna x-change linkx?? We’ll keep in touch! *Wink*
June 2nd, 2007 at 12:53am
For people like Madonna and Jolie, I think it’s genuine. Stars…you know lah, want children but dont want to lose their figures. (I promise you, it crushes your confidence level like blardie hell! To have a deflated baloon on your tummy and spend months or years trying to straighten out the flattened balloon) But Jessica Simpson????? Erm….her agent ask her to do it, izzit????
June 2nd, 2007 at 4:11am
havin alot of son and daughter yet body still in shape! thts the onli reason i can think of! seriously
June 2nd, 2007 at 6:03am
Loads of people adopt children to make the world a better place. Sure some people do it for the wrong reasons or mess up. Celebrities are just people who get more attention.
Peter.
June 2nd, 2007 at 11:13am
Yunno putting all aspects of “true love” aside, I think these kids would probably have a much better life than they ever would in their home country. Well more opportunities that is.
June 2nd, 2007 at 11:24am
Mo I still have my doubts though…
Jian Errr…okay…
jo Yeah, let’s hope this is NOT a hobby.
Faiez Well, adopting kids when you’re single is difficult apparently, even in Korea, as my best friend told me the other day. I think they’re just safeguarding the children’s wellbeing.
Nastasshea@Nesh Let’s see if the kids are still with them in 5 years’ time.
marsha But I thought Jolie and Madonna already have children of their own? Looks like they worked hard to keep themselves in good shape. I hope Jessica Simpson’s attempt won’t attract the likes of Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan from jumping on the bandwagon…
belle Hmmm…yes, staying in shape is possible after having children…me thinks…
peter It looks like that doesn’t it? Well, we do tend to be skeptical when celebrities do it, questioning their intentions. Only time will tell I suppose…
firehorse That is true.
June 3rd, 2007 at 2:29pm
but angelina jolie looks so sincere and really love kids it seems.
June 3rd, 2007 at 4:04pm
xin Hmmm…the jury’s out on her…
June 3rd, 2007 at 9:55pm
well i think that they don’t wanna give birth so that their body won’t get outta shape… lol.
or maybe they wanted to have the image of being a “charity” person.
or maybe they’re pedophile.
like MJ. ahem.
June 3rd, 2007 at 10:42pm
It’s going to be overrated anytime soon. Other celebs will do it for press coverage and exposure. Poor babies
June 4th, 2007 at 9:14am
conan_cat Pedophile? LOL. Err, I don’t think MJ’s a pedophile – he’s just way too naive…
Sha I think so too, and that’s what I’m afraid of!
June 4th, 2007 at 12:24pm
not forgetting, adopting them and renaming them with real funny names
June 4th, 2007 at 1:16pm
lexhooi Yeah, like Fifi Trixibelle or Tiger Lily Heavenly Hirani…hahahaha!
June 6th, 2007 at 11:20am
I want to put myself up for adoption!!
I swear I’m a good kid!
June 6th, 2007 at 12:32pm
it’s tiny dogs before…now it’s children. Wonder what would it be next.
June 6th, 2007 at 1:39pm
pelf Sure, I’ll give Madonna a call…
ennie Hmmm…this is as bad as it gets really…
