In Hollywood, fashion trends change more often than spouses. Remember Uggs? Enough said. L.A.'s trend of the moment has its stars traveling the globe to adopt children from the world's most impoverished countries and showing them off to photographers like a new Prada bag. Pop icon Madonna and her husband, director Guy Ritchie, became the latest stars to make international adoption trip this week when they trekked all the way to Malawi-the only country in the world not yet visited by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt-to adopt one-year-old David Banda. Madonna and Ritchie were granted preliminary custody of the child before flying out of the country without their new son, who was left in the custody of Madonna's extensive entourage until the adoption could be made final. Apparently Madonna didn't want to waste any time teaching the young child how to be raised by her assistants. In fact, upon finalization of the adoption, the boy will be introduced to his new personal assistant, a personal stylist who will travel with him at all times, a live-in masseuse, as well as his personal chef and publicist.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' wedding is just around the corner, but Holmes' parents are rumored to be extremely distraught that the ceremony is scheduled to be conducted under the dogma of the Church of Scientology rather than the Catholic tradition. There have even been some rumblings that Mr. and Mrs. Holmes are threatening to boycott the wedding in hopes of persuading their daughter to have a traditional Catholic ceremony.

For those less familiar with Scientological wedding ceremonies, the bride is often referred to during the service as a girl marrying a man, and one of the sworn "pacts" that the bride and groom enter into is a promise never to go to bed angry. The bride must also promise never to voice her own opinion again, as Cruise will make all future decisions by himself. During the ceremony, the groom traditionally wears a green skin-tight body suit and swears his allegiance to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Although the Holmes family has not commented publicly, Cruise's representative has said that the two will wed sometime this fall on the not-so-well-known planet of Brainwashington.
