It isn't that she's out doing Pilates, or god knows what else. It's that she was in such a big ass hurry to get the baby home. Now it looks like she's in a big ass hurry to go back to her life.

oh come on, everyone needs to do some kind of personal fitness to keep in good mental and physical shape. Just because she is Madonna doesn't mean she should be judged for going to the gym and staying healthy. I am sure her adopted baby will not hate her over it. Hell, she can adopt me too, spend ZERO time with me and I will get over it, I promise.

Yes, she has let the roots slide . . . .

I guess she's so busy jumping on the Angelina bandwagon and trying to be a humanitarian that she doesn't have time to visit the hairdresser.

so is it just because it's madonna or do all women that just had/adopted children have to be home with them 24/7 in order not to be called bad mothers that don't have their priorities straight?

I don't think anyone needs to be with thier kid, adopted or not, 24 hours a day but she went to the gym the day he arrived and he's only been with her a week. I think it's a little bit odd that a new child ín her life, who is not a baby but nearly two years old and therefore aware of massive changes, can't keep her at home.

Everyone is concerned about the child adjusting and having someone with him to help him make that adjustment...he does-the nannies and PAs that brought him to her...

maybe the kid is at home with his adopted father while madonna goes to pilates class? the kid does have a father. if it was guy ritchie walking in the street after going to the gym no one would be raising a stink about why he's not at home helping his new son adapt. i don't think an hour or two away from madge is going to cause irreparable harm, even if she's only had him a week.

I wouldn't give her a second look if I passed her on the street, she looks so plain.

That hair of hers -- it looks worse than mine does and that's saying something!

Yeah, but he's thousands of miles away in Africa.

Considering what's been reported, Guy was never thrilled about adopting and, apparently, was even less thrilled about being dragged to an impoverished country to snatch a kid. I wonder how much time he'll actually spend with this boy and what his attitude will be.

I bet stories will pop up soon re: him and some other woman and his being away from home a lot more.

She's too "busy" to watch over a baby! duhhh~

With all that money and she still looks like shit.
