The mole is real.

Not according to makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin, it wasn't. As many times as he did her makeup, he'd know. And take a look at every makeup job he performed on her: the mole is nowhere in sight because he refused to, in his words, "create a blemish that wasn't real."

Madonna has talent, but it's not in singing, acting (anyone remember "Shanghai Surprise" and "Body of Evidence"?), or writing children's books. She promotes herself very well. What bothers me is that she says in interviews, "I don't want to be thought of in a sexual way." Um . . . excuse me? Aren't you the one who hired a photographer to take naked pictures of you flashing your bare vagina all over New York and have those photos published in a book called "Sex"? Aren't you the one who pushed the envelope in concert to the point of being charged with public indecency? Aren't you the one who said that if you weren't a singer you'd be a nun because nuns are sexy, wearing a cross with a naked man as jewelry.? Yeah, I thought that was you. In what way do you want to be regarded? You did not cease to be a huge media whore just because you spawned progeny; motherhood doesn't erase your public past. I have no problem with your promoting yourself as a mega-slut as you did; it worked for you. But don't work so hard at creating a particular image if you're going to be upset that you succeeded at making that image stick.

You see how good Madonna is at creating a stir? Even her mole was getting its own publicy in the 1980's. It was said that she considered having it surgically removed then. I'll make sure that I take a good look at it if I ever see her. Madonna facts at the link below:

I understand what you're saying dreamer, but I can't help thinking baby Davie is a bit of a celeb status symbol. Big house, flash car, designer clobber, African baby saved from poverty.

Maybe I'm just way too cynical, and I don't doubt that he will have a wonderful life (ignoring the fact that the poor mite was lifted from Malawi and this morning thrust into a scrum of rampaging paparazzi). But if she really wanted to help couldn't she have provided his father, who still regularly visited the child in the orphanage but couldn't afford to look after him properly, with a regular income, enabling the child to remain with his family?

I feel awful, because I'm sure her motives are pure, but I just think there would've been better ways to help.
 
:biggrin1: Canada's national newspaper The Globe and Mail had a cheeky heading, almost worthy of The Onion, on the front page of the past weekend's edition:
