Where's Judge Ito when you need him?

Madonna's adoption of a token baby, David Banda, can be legally physically challenged, a judge in Malawi ruled yesterday. This physical challenge will be over saw by Double Dare's own Marc Summers. A coalition of 67 human rights groups, it was not 69 because that would be too fitting for Madonna, filed a petition after Madonna and washed-up director husband Guy Ritchie were awarded 18-month interim custody and allowed to take one-year-old David out of the country. Activists pointed out intra-country adoptions are not allowed in Malawi, as well as extremely old pop stars, and argued the Malawian government "fast-tracked" the adoption. They want involvement in an assessment of Madonna's fitness as a mother. Madonna stated, "I am completely fit to be David's mother. I can do 143 push-ups, 93 tricep dips, and run until all my STDs run down my leg and under my shoes! I can prove that!" At a court in the capital Lilongwe, Judge Andrew Nyirenda yesterday ruled that the groups can pursue an application for a full review of the custody order. He said, "The applications from both applicants are accordingly granted and they are both joined as amicus curiae." Madonna has petitioned for a new judge to be put on the case. She has submitted Judge Lance Ito's name. The adoption craze has reached new heights and celebs are running out to adopt children that are completely opposite from themselves. We have just learned that Jesse Jackson has adopted a new baby boy, Eli Herschelvitz from Beverly Hills. Keep hope alive?
