This weeks hottest hot topics merged play with politics, injecting even the most formal of officialities with a plucky hit of reality. Journalists seeking a stern chat with Hillary found something a whole lot steamier, Michelle broke Queen Elizabeth II’s no-touch rule, and even Miss Universe lost her outerworldly composure. Of course, not everyone’s experiences with international policy played out so positively, as sometimes landing that adoptee takes more than a place on the A-list. Sorry, Madonna; it looks like Malawi needs more mom, less material – and according to what OneRiot’s new Twitter Search has to share on the matter, it looks like the world agrees.

If Brangelina can pluck foreign babies out of thin air, why can’t Madonna nab the rights to a newbie from Malawian court?

Soooo Fun
Miss Universe recently wrote a blog post about her AWESOME trip to the torture chamber (aka, Guantanamo Bay), and her ignorance didn’t go unnoticed. But was it fair to take the post down?
