STOP THE PRESSES! MADONNA FLEW IN ECONOMY CLASS TO PORTUGAL!

London was truly shocked when Madonna boarded a flight there leaving for Portugal on Halloween and she chose to sit in economy Class (we call it third class) for the two and a half hour flight. Maybe there were no first class seats available or maybe she wanted a window seat, but at least one delighted passenger couldn’t help sneaking a photo. Madonna spends a lot of time in Lisbon these days because her son David Banda, 12, is enrolled in a youth football academy there. Apparently he’s an amazingly talented soccer player and aspires to be a pro.

THIS IS NOT MADONNA’S NEW BOY TOY!

At first glance, one might assume that Madonna has a new young boyfriend, but this good looking guy is actually her son David Banda. How quickly he has grown up! So tall – and he’s only 11 years old! Madonna and David stopped for a friend’s wedding in Italy on their was to Lisbon, Portugal. David has been accepted into a special school there – the prestigious Benfica Academy. The school nurtures and trains talented young soccer players to become professionals. David has come a long way from Malawi.

GUY RITCHIE’S SONS SEEM TO LIKE HIS MODEL GIRLFRIEND JACQUI AINSLEY

Guy Ritchie’s romance with 28 year old model Jacqui Ainsley is progressing nicely. They’ve been dating since April and she gets along great with his sons David, 4, and Rocco, 10. Jacqui didn’t mind playing step-mom on a recent date night – she carried David and he sat on her lap at dinner. London papers predict these photos will rub Madonna the wrong way but we doubt it, considering her relationship with Jesus Luz.

MADONNA THE DIRECTOR HASN’T FORSAKEN FASHION

Madonna has officially declared that baggy pants are IN so don’t even think about investing in any more skinny jeans. She just checked into the Ritz Hotel in Paris and Lourdes, David, and Mercy arrived soon after. Madonna is one of few directors that are targeted by paparazzi even more than her actors. She is in the hat on the W.E set at a dock in France calling the shots. We hope that Mercy writes a book someday.
