Before the craziness of the Academy Awards took hold here in Hollywood last night, Madonna gathered up her children Lourdes Maria and David Banda for a family visit to the Los Angeles Kabbalah Centre to get her church on … here are a couple photos of the 3 of them making their way out of the temple Saturday afternoon:

And while Madge did NOT attend the actual Oscars ceremony, she did make an appearance at the 18th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party after the show … and it is being reported that she was acting quite unruly, even by Madonna standards:

Within minutes of walking in, I’m told Madge was out-flouncing even her notoriously stroppy host, demanding organisers fill her glass with her personal favourite Belvedere vodka, instead of the party-sponsoring Grey Goose brand. My man with the cocktail shaker reveals: “Madonna walked in with her manager Guy Oseary and her entourage and ordered a Belvedere vodka. “It was left to one rather nervous waiter to tell her only Grey Goose was available and when he did all hell broke loose. Madonna was dropping F-bombs like they were going out of fashion. Fortunately Guy was able to calm her down. But she sulked about the vodka and ordered a non-alcoholic virgin mojito instead. She was clearly up for a drink, but wasn’t prepared to compromise on her vodka choice.” The singer’s mood failed to lift as the night wore on, especially when she ran into screen legend and former fitness queen Jane Fonda. My source tells me: “Jane spotted Madonna and yelled, ‘Hey Madonna! It’s me… Jane’. “But Madonna didn’t even turn to look at her and just said, ‘Hey Jane’ as she marched past.” And Jane wasn’t the only one who dodged a bullet. Guy Ritchie narrowly avoided crossing paths with his ex-missus … The Lock Stock director arrived at Soho House for a sesh with Brit actor Jason Statham, but called ahead to check his ex wasn’t around. Smart cookie.

Oh Madge, you’re such a diva. To be honest, I doubt the scene was quite as dramatic as this report makes it seem … she prolly threw a hissy fit but in a joking manner. Whatever the case may be, the fact remains that she IS Madonna and she can say and do whatever the hells she likes … period. As you might expect, Maddy refused to be photographed last night but, again, I guess she’s just being Madonna.

Here’s a cute father and son combo that we don’t usually get to see here on the blog very often (especially without their famous wife and mother) … Jordan Bratman, hubby to popstar Christina Aguilera, and son Max Liron were spotted enjoying the precious sunshine at a park here in LA on Saturday afternoon … here are a few pics:

It’s a very rare occasion when we see the Bratman boys out and about sans Xtina but she was prolly bizzy with work or something like that. Max is a really cute kid … could prolly use a haircut … but a cute kid nonetheless. Xtina is about to blow up again this year with a new album and movie on the horizon so we’ll prolly be seeing more of the Bratmans in the coming months … tho, this peek at the guys hangin’ together all by themselves is really very cute — don’tcha think?

Earlier this week we saw photos of Brangelina taking the baby twins out for ice cream just a day before they took their eldest sons for a trip to a museum in Venice, Italy (where the Brangelina bunch will be living for the foreseeable future while Angelina Jolie films her new film The Tourist). Today we get to see photos of Angelina and daddy Brad Pitt (not pictured) taking their son Pax Thien and daughter Shiloh Nouvel to a kiddie birthday party in Venice this weekend:

As I mentioned before, with a gaggle of kids as large as Brangelina has it makes sense that they would break them up into smaller configurations for various outings. This is the third configuration of kids we’ve seen from them this week. I think it’s safe to say that Brangelina will NOT be attending the Academy Awards here in Hollywood, CA tonight. After they attended all of the awards shows last year to lose all the awards they were nominated for (Ange for Changeling, Brad for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) I’m guessing they’ve had their fill of awards show loss for a while. Ah well. It looks like they and the kids are enjoying Venice, tho! Good for them!!

Yesterday we saw photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie taking the twins and tomboy Shiloh Nouvel out for some ice cream in Venice, Italy and today we see that it is the older boys’ turn for an outing. Brangelina took their eldest sons, Maddox Chivan and Pax Thien, for a day of art appreciation at the Venice Palace … behold:

I suppose when you have as many kids as Brangelina does, you can really take them out for meaningful outings in shifts. Yesterday it was the twins, today it’s the boys … tomorrow the girls? Whatever the case may be, the entire Brangelina brood have totally taken over Venice — and they just got to town! I’m thinkin’ we’ll be seeing a lot more of them (in various configurations) in the weeks to come. How fun!

Whitney Houston, who is currently on tour in Australia where she has been WOWing the crowd (well, not all of the crowds) on her Nothing But Love World Tour, took some time during her concert stop in Adelaide, Australia to wish her daughter a Happy Birthday on the concert stage. Bobbi Kristina was brought on stage where she was surprised with a birthday cake and a serenade from her fabulous mother:

Whitney Houston added two new songs to her set during her concert Wednesday in Adelaide, Australia. Halfway through the show, during the “unplugged” portion when Houston, 46, performs old hits, she announced it was her daughter Bobbi Kristina’s 17th birthday, a source close to the singer tells PEOPLE. Houston then sang “Who Would Imagine a King” from The Preacher’s Wife. “[It's] one of Krissy’s favorites,” the source says, “and is not in the show.” Then a birthday cake was rolled out on stage, and Houston invited her daughter to come up, joined by her dancers and another tune – “Happy Birthday,” which was sung by the entire audience. Mother and daughter also celebrated the occasion in Sydney earlier in the week during a stop on the singer’s Nothing But Love world tour. “They rented a beautiful boat and took a four-hour cruise all around Sydney Harbor with Krissy’s friends, the dancers and family members,” adds the source. “That was the pre-birthday celebration. The cake at the concert was a complete surprise to Krissy. She had no idea!”

How sweet! Now this is one of the perks of having a DIVA as a mother … she can wish you a Happy Birthday unlike anyone else can. It looks like Bobbi Kris had herself a very special, really wonderful 17th birthday … thanks to her loving mother Whitney Houston. Love it!!

UPDATE: Pink reader Marcus sends along video of Whitney Houston singing to her babygirl Bobbi Kris for her birthday, check it out after the jump …

Mama Britney Spears and Grandmammy Lynne Spears took the young’ns, Sean Preston and Jayden James, to the movies to see Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief at a theater in Calabasas, CA last night. As you can see, the Spears boys took a page from the Beckham boys’ playbook and dressed up for the occasion in superhero costumes:

You may recall that little Cruz Beckham got all dolled up as Transformers Autobot leader Optimus Prime at his birthday party a couple of weeks ago … and today we see that both Spears boys dressed up as Spider-Man. So cute. It’s nice to see Lynne Spears hanging out with her grandkids again … it’s been some time since we’ve seen them all together. It’s a shame that Britney doesn’t look as happy as she did over the weekend … mebbe she saves her sunny smile for daytime? In any event, I sure hope the Spears‘ enjoyed themselves a nice time at the movieshow last night.
