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.

[Madonna] took her five-year-old daughter and her adopted son David, four, to a New York toy shop to celebrate Mercy’s birthday on Thursday. David had been decorated in facepaint, while Mercy was dressed up in a pink tutu, white hat and a Stella McCartney jacket. The design, created for GapKids, is said to be so popular that it sold out of shops in New York just weeks after it was released. But when you are the daughter of one of the world’s biggest superstar, such issues do not seem to be a problem. In contrast, her mother looked a lot more conservative, opting for a black trouser suit and overcoat. However, little Mercy doesn’t seem to have had too much trouble adapting to the jet-set lifestyle she is currently living since moving from her native Malawi seven months ago. She has often been seen dressed head to foot in designer clothes and has dined in the world’s most exclusive restaurants. Reports this week have suggested that the 51-year-old is keen to try for another child with her toyboy lover, Jesus Luz, 22. The singer already has four children, Lourdes, 14, with her former personal trainer Carlos Leon and son Rocco, nine, with ex-husband Guy Ritchie as well as her two adopted African orphans. The US singer has been with Luz for almost 18 months, meeting him during a photo shoot in Brazil shortly after she divorced Ritchie. Madonna performed yesterday at George Clooney’s Hope For Haiti Now benefit concert, which raised more than $30million. The star-studded fundraiser which took place in New York and London also included Bruce Springsteen, Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder.

What a little doll!! She truly is the prettiest princess of all. I bet Mercy had herself a fabulous birthday this year, no doubt a much more festive one than the little girl is prolly used to from her orphanage days. Mercy is coming up on her 1 year anniversary as Madonna’s daughter so she’s still got a lot of celebratin’ to look forward to in 2010. Let’s send all our love and birthday wishes to Mercy James today. Happy Birthday, Mercy!

I understand that Maddy did spend at least some of Xmas day with ex-hubby Guy and the kids, which I think is really lovely. Madonna took the kids to the Kabbalah Centre for a Boxing Day celebration yesterday and, I’m sure, a great time was had by all. It’s really great that Madonna and Guy can keep things relatively happy and civil for their children. If the rumors are to be believed, Madonna and Guy have been in “friend” mode for many months leading up to their divorce. Whatever their deal may be, I’m pleased to know that they are keepin’ things cool for the kiddies :)

As you may recall, Guy was in NYC this week for the premiere of his new film Sherlock Holmes but it appears that he was also in town to pick up his sons from their mother Madonna. It’s possible that Maddy will also make her way to the UK with her daughters but methinks that won’t be happening. It’s such a shame that the kids have to divide up their time with their parents in this way now that the couple are divorced but … c’est la vie. Here’s hoping the Ritchie men have themselves a merry little Xmas.

Sure, the mere fact that she was hangin’ with Guy and his sons doesn’t necessarily mean that anything of a romantic nature is going on but … I dunno. He’s a very attractive man, she’s an attractive woman. From what I understand about their relationship work-wise, he refers to her as his “rock”, especially in the wake of his divorce from Madonna. This may very well be what Guy’s new family looks like these days … and everyone looks very happy. Not too shabby, not too shabby at all.

Fresh from her concert in Poland, Madonna jetted to Italy for a romantic reunion with toyboy boyfriend Jesus Luz for her 51st birthday yesterday. After performing in Warsaw on Saturday night, Madonna flew to the luxury resort of Portofino where the Brazilian model was waiting for her with her four children. Enjoying a two-day break before her concert in Munich on Tuesday, Madonna chose to celebrate her big day with an intimate family party. The Material Girl is reported to have booked an entire floor at the five-star, 1,000 Euros-a-night Hotel Splendido, which has stunning views of the Mediterranean. The 51-year-old singer was spotted having a romantic birthday breakfast for two with Jesus on the balcony of her hotel suite on Sunday morning. Later that day, Madonna, Jesus and the children were seen getting a boat out to a yacht, believed to be owned by her designer friends Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The designers hosted a birthday meal for the singer, during which she was presented with a big cake with sparklers on top and wore a lace dress by the duo. Throughout the meal, Madonna was seen kissing and nuzzling up to 22-year-old Jesus.

Oh yes, there was a lot of canoodling going on betwixt Madonna & Child yesterday day and night. After the jump, check out photos from the happy couple’s birthday breakfast AND intimate birthday dinner party with friends …

Buon Compleanno Madonna! Madonna — along with her gorgeous boy toy/model Jesus Luz — is in the Italian Riviera resort of Portofino Monday to celebrate her birthday in true star style. The superstar singer — who turned 51 Sunday — booked an entire floor of the town’s Splendido Hotel for her stay. The Material Mom (sans kids) was snapped Sunday sharing breakfast (and a kiss!) with Jesus before joining the rest of her entourage later for dinner and cake. Famed Italian fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana [hosted] a star studded birthday party for the Material Mom during her trip. But where there’s Madonna, there’s always controversy. The ‘Like A Virgin’ Singer caused a flap on Saturday when her Sticky and Sweet tour concert in Poland happened on the same day as the Feast of the Assumption, a high point of the Catholic calendar marking the traditional belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus also known as the Madonna, was taken up into heaven. She may have been branded a “Satanist” by the religious leaders of Poland, but Madonna seemed genuinely touched when the 80,000 strong crowd at her concert in Warsaw surprised her by singing a traditional Polish birthday song, ‘May You Live A Hundred Years’. “I feel your love. I love what I do, but you regenerate me,” said a beaming Madonna. Many of the fans near the stage also held up paper hearts. One said: “Adopt Me.”

MMMM MMM MMMM … get it, girl. Clearly, Madonna and Jesus are closer than ever. The very intimate nature of their relationship seems very evident in these photos. As for the controversy in Poland, well, the folks who came out to her show Saturday night had no problem showing her the lurve. Here is video of the crowd singing Happy Birthday to her Saturday night:

These have to be the cutest pics of Maddy’s kids yet. They all seem to be having an amazingly fun time … and the look on Mercy James’s cute little face really tells the tale here. She is incredibly beautiful … I love these photos. I’m sure it’s a bit difficult for the kids to be on the road with their mother (tho, on the other hand, they prolly love spending their Summer vacation touring the world) but it looks like there is a lot of playtime built into their schedule. These are fun pics, y’all. I love them :)

Madonna will be on tour up until early September so she and the kiddies have plenty of private planing ahead of them. It looks like little Miss Mercy James is getting a crash course in luxurious living now that she’s officially part of Maddy’s family. Here’s hoping it’s a successful tour … in every respect.

If Mercy James looks a little bewildered, it’s simply because she’s come such a long way. And not just in miles. The little girl who started life in a spartan African orphanage found herself checking into the sumptuous splendour of the Ritz when Madonna brought the family to Paris. Its five-star luxury could offer no starker contrast to the life Mercy left behind in poverty-stricken Malawi when Madonna won her battle to adopt her last month. And her wide-eyed wonder as she arrived at the historic hotel with the 50-year-old singer showed she is still adjusting to a way of life her friends back home would never even dream of. Clutching her new mother’s hand, four-year-old Mercy insisted on stopping in the street as they got out of their car in front of the hotel. Still holding tight for reassurance, she twisted around to take in the beauty of the Paris street and the imposing facade of the Ritz. In a pale pink hooded jacket, jeans and matching pink pumps,she looked like any little girl dressed by a fashion-conscious mother … Mercy is going to have to get used to travelling – albeit in luxurious style – as her pop star mother shows no signs of slowing down her career. Also in the travelling party were Madonna’s adopted son David, 3, and daughter Lourdes, 13. Only son Rocco, who yesterday attended the Harry Potter premiere in London, could not be seen. Meanwhile Madonna is said to be in talks with Simon Cowell about performing on this year’s series of The X Factor. A show source told The Sun: ‘The last series proved anything is possible when Beyonce performed with Alex – the final got 15 million viewers and that is enough to entice the biggest stars onto our stage. “This year is going to be bigger than ever – we are planning to get the best names in music. Madonna would be so sensational.”

Aww … Mercy in pink — so cute!! Yes, I believe that Rocco was not with the rest of his sibs because he stayed back in London for a bit of extra time with his father Guy Ritchie. It must really be a huge shock to the system for little Mercy to go from an orphanage to the most luxurious places in the world. She is absolutely a beautiful child. Madonna is so lucky to be her mother.

As you can see, little Mercy and David got all dolled up for the occasion … Madonna just wore whatever work-out clothes (hopefully clean) that she had handy. Nonetheless, despite Maddy’s dressed-downness they all look super-adorable together … I’m so happy for Maddy’s newly expanded family.

Oh and remember that you can watch Sky1’s broadcast of Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet Tour performance from Buenos Aires, Argentina last December online HERE live TODAY at 1PM PT, 4PM ET. Don’t miss it!!
