Lindsay Lohan Contemplating Playboy; Kate Gosselin Turns It Down

Lindsay Lohan Playboy

Well, at least there is one so called celebrity out there with a little bit of self respect. Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been offered $900kto pose for “Playboy” and is considering it. This isn’t the first time that “Playboy” would have approached Lohan, as they approached her back in 2008, with an offer of $700,000 that she turned down. Maybe if the up the ante a little bit by throwing in some booze and coke they just might have themselves a deal. We’ve already had the unfortunate opportunity to see Lohan nude once before in 2008, when she bared it all in “New York” magazine, so this really is bad timing on Hugh Hefners’ part, and waaaay too much money for something we already seen… Many, many times!

In other “Playboy” related news, at least one semi-celebrity has enough decency to turn down the offer. Kate Gosselin has been said to have received a letter from Hefner, offering her $400k for a spread in an upcoming interview. She reportedly turned down the offer, being mortified at the thought and claiming she would never do such a thing for the sake of her 8 children. “Playboy” is jumping on the reality-star bandwagon, with having the press-seeking Heidi Montag and Aubrey O’Day recently posing for their magazine. I’m proud of Kate for turning it down, staying true to her word that she is doing things for the kid’s sake.

Madonna’s Malawi Adoption Rejected

Madonna was told today that her bid to adopt 3 year old Chifundo James, translated to Mercy James, has been rejected by Malawi High Court Judge Esme Chombo. It seems residency requirement is keeping Madge from taking home Mercy. Prospective adoptive parents are required to spend 18-24 months in Malawi before being able to go forward with an adoption. Obviously, Madonna has not spent that kind of time there. A judge denied the adoption stating several reasons for the

Per BBC:

“I must decline to grant the application for the adoption of the infant. By removing the very safeguard that is supposed to protect our children, the courts by their pronouncements could actually facilitate trafficking of children by some unscrupulous individuals. It is evident that Chifundo James no longer is subject to the conditions of poverty at her place of birth.”

Following five days of hearings, Judge Chombo made her official ruling. According to a witness, the judge said during the ruling that social workers need to look for more than “someone who just flies in and out” when looking for a fitting family. Madonna was not present at the ruling but was later told by her lawyer.

The Material Girl has been in Malawi for nearly a week with her three other children awaiting word on adopting Mercy. Her Malawian lawyer, Alan Chinula, has reportedly been working for the past 18 months to skirt the 18-24 month residency requirements. Madge even threw a party before the ruling on her application was made. Her lawyer says Madonna plans to appeal the decision.

I don’t see Madge giving up so easily. She has homes in New York and London… who’s to say she won’t set up a home in Malawi until her adoption request is finally granted?
