Madonna Is Because We Are

Madonna Is Because We Are

Madonna arrives and greets filmmaker Michael Moore at a screening of her new film, I Am Because We Are at the Traverse City Film Festival on Saturday in Traverse City, Michigan.

This movie documents the concern over the millions of orphans in the African country of Malawi who have lost parents and siblings to HIV and AIDS, many of whom live on the streets. The film also shows the efforts with Madonna’s charitable organisation Raising Malawi in helping with improving their lives and conditions.

I Am Because We Are is narrated and produced by Madonna.

“Ubuntu” is an idea present in African spirituality that says “I am because we are,” that we are all connected and we cannot be ourselves without community.

lol, fu gertude, you crusty c*nt, she looks great

# 8

She is not aging gracefully. With all those resources you think she could step it up in the attractiveness department.

thanks, jared, for getting these up. she looks great! her skin is flawless. what a difference a few days makes. she looks very natural in these shots.

of course she’s getting old. news flash! that’s what happens to humans. we are born, get old, and then we die.

what matters is how we use our gift of life and spend our lives. Madonna is going to leave a lasting legacy after she dies.

and what have we done lately?

nasty madonna @ 08/04/2008 at 1:42 pm

there is something very sleazy and nasty about her.

good for them @ 08/04/2008 at 1:48 pm

This time she looks happy and good. The only time that I have seen her dressed ok. This movie is for good cause. That is nice.

Go Madge! Beat that disgusting Miley Cyrus

are we supposed to believe that she actually gives a sh*t?

Poor thing……..she looks all used up. What the attraction is I’ll never understand. People must be desperate to enrich such a trashy example of humanity !

She looks better than in those older pics of her without makeup.

she has totally had some “work” done on her face…too bad she didnt get that gap in her teeth fixed too.

She looks good with minimum make-up too

Some of you haters are just that, haters. When Madonna looks good, she’s had work done. When she doesn’t look good, she’s an old hag. I have seen Madonna with very little make-up up close and in person and she looks fabulous. She has flawless luminous skin and looks way younger than 50. She also doesn’t look nearly as muscular as she does in some photos. She is very petite, not really short but has a small built. Her daughter is very pretty, looks like Madonna but a prettier Latin version. I also saw Guy and he is yummy in person.

Yeah right, she’s the trash. You blame her for helping chlidren survive, and you, what about you.. have you done something to help them ? I guess not.

Now, who is the trash ?

She looks natural and beautiful here. But in all the years that I have worshipped her (I stopped worshipping her the minute she hooked up with Britney Spears, even b4 all the scandal) I have never seen Madonna do as much charitable work, including adoption and a film on Africa and so forth. She use to be a leader… but all she really is is a follower. Celebrities do the darndest things. I remember watching her in an interview with Billy Bush on NBC and when he asked her what she thought of Angelina Jolie… she couldn’t remember the fact that she was part of the UN and talked as if she didn’t know much about her. Such krap. She’s simply copying AJ and dosn’t want to admit it. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. Hey, more adoptions, more charitable work… the better.

Whenever I see people say that these stars have “minimum” or “no makeup” on and look “natural”… they still have makeup on. You think they have no flaws and want the world to see it, even when they’re out and about on a normal day? They’re wearing cover-up and light lip color. Same thing with Angelina Jolie. Her fans always say “she looks beautiful naturally all the time”… all the time? Never. They wear makeup, but in a way so that it looks ‘natural’. And these photos, even the papz photos, don’t always catch everything or they’re airbrushed. These papz photos are taken far away… not enough to catch the flaws. I’ve gotten away with going out and people saying I have naturally beautiful skin… little do they know that I’m wearing coverup. And if they know, they ignore it. But then again, my mom and I have been accused of wearing makeup when we weren’t simply because our faces seemed more glowy or lips looked more full & pink.

She looks a little bit like a witch. But, hey, maybe she’s trying to go for the hippie look. You would think by now, she’d cover-up the roots better ad not ignore it… it’s so unattractive. I’ve seen hardworking housewives running around all the time, look better than this

…I remember watching her in an interview with Billy Bush on NBC and when he asked her what she thought of Angelina Jolie… she couldn’t remember the fact that she was part of the UN and talked as if she didn’t know much about her. ……

she couldn’t REMEMBER angelina’s UN work?!??!

this must be a joke!

kendra, do you remember when the interview was made?

*****…………that sums it up.

FUGLY, talentless, trash pit!

Talentless! and ******!

Madonna has given money for charity since 1982, she gave milions for AIDS, Cancer etc etc when Angelina was only a child. So please stop saying: Oh she’s copying Angelina!!!
The difference is: Madonna didn’t give any interview about her charity, she was always very reserved about it.
Oh and she doesn’t know much about Angelina because Madonna doesn’t watch TV and she does’nt read tabloids.

Sorry for my bad english.

Thank you Ginevra. well said…

Color the hair Madge so sick of seeing your roots….

Madonna lovers are all crazy! @ 08/04/2008 at 9:10 pm

To ginerva: madonna reserved???? Bwahahahahah. Good one! She doesn’t give a **** about anyone other than herself. She gave to charities and showed up at the events nearly topless to cause a stir.
Remember when she showed up for the rainforest “Don’t Bungle the Jungle” dinner flashing her tits. Yeah, that’s reserved for you.

If the ***** cared, she would take care of her destitute family–charity begins at home–she only cares about herself and her image. She’d sell her soul (probably already has) just to be in the spotlight ten minutes more!

The girl should be so yonuger!!This is a new kind of love between man and woman!!!!Can you accpet a new kind of love !if a man who is much older than you ! will you love him!! I have a BF we meet on agelessmatch.C O M !! I always go to agelessmatch.C O M ! I meet many handsome and rich man here! They like young girl!!I think it is a good place to make friend!!

madonna is so hot

Best of hollyweird @ 08/05/2008 at 1:50 am

I wonder if this movie will be as great as Swept Away was??? (insert HEAVY sacarsm…heavy even than michael fat cow give us free gastric bypass surgery like cuba more…)

She looks great :) M 4EVER :D

Madonna looks a lot better in these pictures than in the other ones you showed of her

Oh, how I love my Madonna. I worshiped her as a kid and some of my happiest childhood memories involve Madonna music. Now I’ve grown into a deep respect for her work and ability. Even now, when I see something about Madonna and her art, I feel like, yay, Madonna!

She’s looking old! She should cover up those veiny arms!
