Madonna has been "taught a lot" by Malawi.

The 'Celebration' singer - who has adopted two children, Mercy and David, both four, from the African country - says she was "chosen" by the poverty-stricken area to help it anyway she can.

Madonna took "Disneyland" to Malawi yesterday (25.10.09).

The 'Celebration' singer flew to the African country - where she was joined by daughter Lourdes, 13, son Rocco, nine, and her two adopted Malawian children, David and Mercy, both four - with so many toys, bouncy castles and rocking horses that amazed onlookers joked their Kumbali Lodge apartment resembled the famous theme park.

Madonna has been branded a "neighbor from hell" and been accused of using her New York home as a rehearsal studio.

The '4 Minutes' singer has infuriated Karen George - who lives above Madonna in the apartment block overlooking Central Park - with her alleged "blaring music and stomping".

Madonna wanted to jump "off a building" after divorcing Guy Ritchie.

The '4 Minutes' singer admitted only her hectic work schedule and world tour helped her through a "challenging" 12 months which saw her marriage to the British film director end and courts initially block her application to adopt four-year-old Malawian girl Mercy.

Madonna likes Lady Gaga because she has the "IT Factor".

The 51-year-old pop icon was impressed by the 'Paparazzi' singer - who is a self-confessed Madonna fan - from the first time she saw her, even though she was still refining her act.

Madonna's daughter Lourdes doesn't want to wear skimpy outfits like her mother.

The 'Celebration' singer's daughter - who turns 13 on Wednesday (14.10.09) - has vowed never to wear flesh-flashing outfits like her pop star mother because she would feel too embarrassed.
