Madonna returns to Malawi with David Banda
Madonna today landed in Malawi with the 18-month-old boy she is adopting, amid rumours that she plans to adopt a second orphan from the impoverished southern African country.
As the British-based American singer landed at Lilongwe's airport, her spokeswoman claimed she was only in the country to continue her long-standing charity work, which involves constructing a number of orphanages.
She would not confirm reports that the superstar had planned to take David Banda, her adopted child, to see his real father, Yohane, and denied that she was planning to finalise any further adoptions.
Madonna and her husband, Guy Ritchie, adopted the one-year-old six months ago from an orphanage in the country.
As the singer touched down in a private jet, two vehicles were dispatched to the airport in an attempt to block the view of her and her entourage exiting the plane. Madonna, wearing dark glasses and a black outfit, was still spotted by journalists walking down the steps of the plane and carrying Banda in her arms.

Madonna's ex is annoyed by their daughter's British accent
Carlos Leon, the father of Madonna’s eldest child Lourdes, is reportedly angered that his daughter is now speaking with a British accent.
10 year old Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon was born in the US but has lived in London since she was three after mum Madonna married Guy Ritchie.
A source told the New York Daily News that Carlos was annoyed to hear that Lourdes had “a full-on British accent” at the recent UK premiere of Arthur and the Invisibles.
Madonna’s spokesperson Liz Rosenberg insists the reports are exaggerated but:
“It wouldn’t be surprising if Madonna’s daughter has some sort of English accent, since she lives in London most of the time. To me, she always sounds a little American and a little British. All this seems perfectly normal to me.”
“What I can tell you, she’s a natural beauty - no surprise there. She’s frankly a very unspoiled and lovely child, and for that I give credit to Madonna, Guy and Carlos.”
