* So it’s official. I’m not going to get into my spiel about western paternalism, but celebrities, please note: there are countless children in THIS country who need a family. [Associated Press]
* Can you say “Oh no he didn’t!”, when he doesn’t even know that he did? Note to anonymous Australian professional -- colonial chic is passé. [Opinionistas]
* Mayor Gavin Newsom, ex-husband of ex-San Francisco assistant DA and Court TV hottie Kimberly Guilfoyle-Villency, has some real young arm candy. Yes, she’s legal -- just not of legal drinking age. [San Francisco Chronicle]
* I keep forgetting we need a license to do this job. [New York Magazine]

Re: Madonna's adoption, I agree--there are plenty of children in the U.S. in need of families. There are also a lot of children in Malawi who need families, unlike David, the child Madonna adopted, who HAS a father. Can someone explain why she would adopt a child with a family instead of one of the 1 million orphans in Malawi?
