MADONNA and husband GUY RITCHIE are facing a challenge to their adoption of Malawian tot DAVID BANDA - the baby’s biological father wants to fight for visitation rights to the child.
The superstar couple’s adoption of the two-year-old was finalised at Malawi?s High Court in May (08) - 20 months after being granted an ‘interim’ order allowing them to take the baby from a Malawian orphanage back to their London home.
David was left at the care home after his mother died in childbirth and his peasant farmer dad Yohane Banda was unable to provide for the then-seven-month-old baby.
But now Yohane claims government officials had promised him access his son ?every three to four years? as part of the adoption arrangement and he is looking into his legal rights to see the child.
He says, “I love the boy and it was in his best interests to put him in the orphanage.
“Because I support the adoption I would not want to put up a challenge that would reverse it, but I might challenge some aspects of the order.
“I am discussing with my family about following up on having access to the child. We will not leave things the way they are - we will do something about it.”
Madonna and director Ritchie’s adoption of little David has been marred by controversy ever since they brought him back to the U.K., with critics claiming the couple had been given special treatment to side-step the official adoption process.

Amy Winehouse has performed at her first concert since leaving rehab to a sold-out crowd - although the singer appeared almost an hour late to the Lisbon show.

Winehouse was at the Rock in Rio Lisboa festival in Lisbon, Portugal on Friday for the concert, the first of a series over the summer.

On her arrival, the 90,000-strong crowd that had been booing started cheering. But the singer warned her throat was hoarse and some of the songs were croaky, according to reports.

Although the song list was shortened, Winehouse had the crowd singing along to her hits, including Rehab and Valerie.

Fans also cheered loudly when she said she had recently celebrated her first anniversary with husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who is currently in prison awaiting trial, according to the BBC.

The set lasted for around 55 minutes before Winehouse left to make way for Lenny Kravitz.

A report from Associated Press said the crowd was “subdued” following the set, as the singer failed to perform an encore.

The singer is due to appear at several concerts in Europe over the summer, including one for Nelson Mandela’s birthday in London.

Although her singing career has gone from strength to strength, the star has been in and out of rehab in recent months. Winehouse was recently questioned by the police over footage of her apparently inhaling fumes from a crack pipe, but no charges have been brought.

LOS ANGELES — You would assume that as Hugh Hefner ’s girlfriend, a former body-painted Playboy party promoter and a frequently featured model in the men’s magazine, Kendra Wilkinson would be pretty comfortable with baring her body. But it turns out that the “Girl Next Door” is terrified of taking it all off.

“I’m really, really self-conscious, believe or not,” she told Pop Tarts. “I get so nervous and shy. Even though I’m this crazy party girl, taking my clothes off really scares me.”

But being “uncomfortable” flashing the flesh isn’t the only surprise coming from the bubbly blonde. She also said that Hef is the one with all the “energy,” bouncing from place to place for the filming of their E! reality show.

“He [Hef] is always pushing us along when we’re tired,” she said with a laugh.

So while Wilkinson is busy hiding her itty bitty bod, fellow Hef girlfriend Bridget Marquardt has been whipping hers into shape quite, er, unconventionally.

“I flip off the trapeze bar and swing up and catch it again. It’s really fun and a really intense workout,” she said. “Trapeze gets the heart rate right up.”

Maybe it’s just the socks and hat that she has trouble taking off.

Lindsay Lohan made people move seats on an aeroplane so she could sit next to her alleged girlfriend.

The ‘Mean Girls’ actress reportedly asked staff to move people to different seats so she could be with DJ Samantha Ronson in business class on a New York to Los Angeles flight yesterday (29.05.08), according to gossip website TMZ.com.

Hours before the flight, Lindsay and Samantha enjoyed dinner with a group of people that included the actress’ 14-year-old sister Ali and Samantha’s mother Ann Dexter-Jones.

Despite publicly insisting they are “just friends”, Lindsay and Samantha were allegedly “canoodling and kissing passionately” at a party thrown by P. Diddy in Cannes, France, last week.

They are believed to be planning to move in together, and Lindsay has been telling people she wants to marry the DJ in a civil partnership ceremony in July.

She has also been referring to herself as Lindsay Ronson.

Previously leaked emails from Lindsay to Samantha said: “Babe, if I don’t have you in my life then I should just go die… I want to marry you.”
