if that's your thread of logic, then maybe you shouldn't have kids at all. Why is that? Sorry, I'm not a Madonna ass kisser neither am i, but i am a fan. what i'm saying is that your logic is flawed if you think to give your child the children's book she's written, that you have to follow it up with the Sex book is completely ignorant. i know you were just looking for a clever one-liner, but it just doesn't work. for example, by your reasoning, if you let your kids watch Thomas The Tank Engine, you'd automatically have to show them a video of George Carlin's standup routine. Yeah, I think you missed my point. I was saing that 1. I don't think she's qualified and 2. a Madonna fan who has kids probably will have the sex book laying around somewhere too. I'm not saying she has to be a nun, but damn, I just don't like it 1. not qualified to write a children's book? please. a child is qualified to write a children's book. that's why every celebrity and their kid has one out. 2.  you really think that a Madonna fan is going to have the Sex book sitting out for their kids to see? what makes you think that?You like picking on me don't you 
With her history, I don't think she should be writing childrens books to try and redeem herself in the eyes of her children (let's face it, that's the only reason she's doing it) and it will be mostly her fans that will buy it I will never buy a childrens book from the likes of Madonna and I wouldn't buy one from the likes of Prince either  very well then.
i'm really not picking on you. i was just trying to understand your logic. i still don't, but you're free to buy or not buy whatever you want, for whatever illogical reason  What's illogical about it? It makes since to me. People should be judged by their actions. It's like the porn star voting for governor. How is it logical to buy it? why shouldn't a porn star be able to vote for governor? as long as s/he's a citizen and a registered voter... lord, now don't tell me you're opposed to democracy too. your logic is baffling! | |

Some pics:
By Paul Majendie, SUN Madonna cast aside her raunchy pop image Sunday to throw a tea party for the launch of her first children's book. The pop icon, who has had more style makeovers than David Bowie, played the demure 45-year-old mother of two to publicize "The English Roses," her first dip into the highly lucrative world of children's publishing. About 100 children sat eagerly at her feet in a London roof garden as she read from her illustrated tale which, with Harry Potter-style hype, is being launched Monday in 30 languages and more than 100 countries. Madonna, flanked by her son, Rocco, and her daughter, Lourdes, sat on a garden swing chair reading in her best bedtime story voice. Forget the steamy pop videos, conical bras and foul-mouthed outbursts. Here was "Mamma-Donna," elegantly attired in a floral cream dress and sporting spectacles that would not have looked out of place on a prim schoolteacher's nose. Before launching into her brief reading, the icon who is hounded by paparazzi and tabloids around the world confessed to the children: "I like little kids better than big people because they don't have any bad habits yet." "I think I am being upstaged by my children," she said as Rocco fidgeted in the seat beside her and Lourdes beamed with pride. Madonna got the biggest cheer from the children when she showed them one of the illustrations -- a picture of kids who were literally colored green with envy. Madonna's latest album "American Life" was panned by some critics and her latest movie "Swept Away," made by her film director husband Guy Ritchie, went straight to video in Britain after being slated in the United States. But she launched into her latest literary career with panache, answering questions from a string of showbusiness reporters who queued up to grill her. Madonna was the first to hail her children as both her inspiration and harshest critics. She told Reuters TV: "I tried out all the stories on my children and whenever they got bored and started fidgeting, or complaining, or looking for other things to do, I knew I had to fix that part of the story or get rid of it." She concluded with a poignant confession. Madonna, whose own mother died when she was five, said: "The only thing that I put in of myself is that Binah, the main character, is growing up without a mother. Her mother died when she was young so that was the similarity." 
By Cesar G. Soriano, USA TODAY Madonna will appear on Oprah Winfrey's show to promote her first children's book, The English Roses. The episode was taped Monday. Roses "was inspired by my daughter (Lourdes). She's almost 7, and she's basically my co-editor," Madonna, 45, tells Winfrey. Madonna hits the stage, bumping and grinding with Oprah. And no, there's no Madonna-Oprah lip-lock. But the star does discuss her kiss with Britney Spears. Madonna is brought to tears on the show when the family of a girl who died of cancer comes on stage. Madonna had befriended Canadian teen Kerri Yascheshyn through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. She died in February at 17. Madonna's fifth-grade teacher also makes a surprise appearance. Madonna is launching Roses with media events in London on Sunday and in Paris on Monday. Roses hits bookstores Monday in more than 100 countries and in 30 languages  | |

There is nothing at all wrong with anyone looking their age, and it's about time for Maddie. I wish many others would follow suit. However, the dress is horrendous. She is trying so hard to look like an upstanding english woman and I'm just not buying it and I doubt there are many that are buying it. | |
