Her fans, including Daniel from London, were speedy to voice their irritation by posting critical comments online. He wrote: 'I thought the concert was amazing, but actually she should apologies for starting late. 'I almost had a heart attack trying to get the last Tube. I love Madonna, but it doesn't seem the feeling is mutual.' Andrew, also from London, wrote: "If the audience can make the effort, so should she. I never thought I would hear a crowd booing at a Madonna concert."

Madonna paid tribute to Michael Jackson in her concert. A picture of a young Jackson was raised on stage while Madonna performed Holiday. She said: 'I am so terribly sad about Michael Jackson's death. I don't know what artist wasn't inspired by him. 'To work with him and become friends and hang out with him was exciting for me.'

Malawi Supreme court ruled in favor of Madonna on Friday. Now U.S. pop star Madonna can adopt a second child from Malawi, although the father of the 4-year-old girl said he wants her back. (So why did he say yes in the first place? $$$$$$)  Previously lower court denied the request of Madonna, which said Madonna could not adopt Mercy James because she was not a resident of the southern African country.

Mercy's father said Madonna, one of the music industry's most successful singers, should not be allowed to adopt Mercy. "No one wants to listen to me, I have protested this all along ... I want my child back but I don't know what to do now," James Kabewa told Reuters by telephone from his poor township. "Madonna cannot take her away." However now no one can stop Madonna to adopt as The Supreme Court ruling cannot be challenged. Kabewa said he quit his job as a security guard to fight the adoption and was being supported by his aunt.

Madonna has really done a great job! Chief Justice Lovemore Munlo said "Madonna has shown that she is bold, and compassionate enough to come forward to adopt Chifundo (Mercy) James," In a statement Madonna said: "I am ecstatic...My family and I look forward to sharing our lives with her." Hope this child will fulfill the lonely life of the pop star.

Guy Richie and Madonna will finally get divorced at the High Court in London on Friday.  The couple is ending up their eight years of marriage. The divorce got finalized as Madonna, 50, and Ritchie, 40, reached a settlement over money and their kids Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, and David, 3. London's Evening Standard reports that Madonna will keep the bulk of her estimated $500 million fortune intact, though Ritchie was entitled by law to a share of it. It was decided that Rocco and David will split time between the U.S. and London, while Lourdes, whose father is Carlos Leon, will live with her mother.

"[Madonna] walked away without any of his money, much to her credit," a friend told the U.K.'s Times. "He has done the same." "He could have hugely boosted his bank balance and set himself up for life, but he already feels he has enough money," another pal told the paper. "He also didn't want the whole thing dragging on in the public gaze for months and months and, in any case, his priority was the children's future." However a source close to the couple insists that's not true. "He's going to get a huge windfall, contrary to what's being reported," the source tells PEOPLE. After splitting last month, Madonna has been linked with baseball star Alex Rodriguez (but now he is also linked with Jessica Simpson) and Guy Richie was enjoying the freedom with his friends. Good luck to the both of them!

"Both acknowledge their tempestuous romance is over. But they insist there is no bitterness or blame and say there is no one else involved.

A close friend also said "They're obviously sad but they're dealing with it like grown ups. While they'll be the first to admit they have a somewhat fiery relationship, above all there's a deep respect for each other.
