Love muffins, pop diva Madonna has been hospitalized after suffering a fall earlier Saturday while horseback riding in South Hampton, New York.

“The accident occurred when the horse Madonna was riding was startled by paparazzi who jumped out of the bushes to photograph the singer, who was visiting friends on Eastern Long Island over the weekend,” Rosenberg said in a statement to Usmagazine.com.

She suffered minor injuries and bruises. Further tests will be made while she stays under doctors observations. This isn’t the first time she fell while horseback riding. In 2005, she broke several bones. Thoughts?

Madonna’s petition to adopt a second Malawian child, dubbed by the media as “Mercy,” was rejected by a local judge Friday.

“The decision came down to residency requirement and the fact that the judge believes she was being well taken care of in the orphanage,” said Zione Ntaba, a spokeswoman for the Malawi Justice Department. “For the Malawians, the fact that the child is at an orphanage, is being taken care of and is going through the school education system, that does qualify as the best interests of a child,” Ntaba added.

The Queen of pop recently filed a petition to adopt a girl, Chifundo James, 4, whose first name translates to “mercy” in Chichewa, the country’s national language. “Mercy” would have joined Madonna’s three other children, including a son she adopted from Malawi in 2006. [Source]

Madonna arrived at the High Court in Lilongwe Malawi for adoption proceedings Monday morning in Lilongwe, Central Region of Malawi. As I reported earlier, the singer is seeking to adopt a Malawian girl, whose name we now know to be Mercy James – joining adopted son, David Banda and her two biological children, Lourdes Leon and Rocco Ritchie. The previous day, she attended a briefing at Chinkhota Village outside Lilongwe where a new school has been established with her backing on in Lilongwe, Malawi.

Love muffins, the Material Mom looks to have her sights on adopting a second Malawian baby. This, of course, follows the fiasco that surrounded the adoption of her first baby from the small African country, David. With Guy no longer in the picture, perhaps she won’t run into the obstacles she supposedly did when adopting David – apparently Mr. Ex-Madonna was opposed to having any more children. No one stops Madonna, not even loser director husbands!

Madge will apparently be visiting the southeast African nation this weekend – a representative from the government has confirmed that the process has already begun, papers have been filed. It’s rumored that this time around she’s looking to adopt a baby girl.

Madonna will extend her Sticky and Sweet tour this summer to play arenas across Europe.
