Madonna Gets An Early Birthday Present

Madonna, who turns 50 on August 16, got an early birthday present from her home state of Michigan - more than 500 fans sang "Happy Birthday" to her. That's Madonna there on the left.

The Material Girl is seen here at the Fourth Annual Traverse City Film Festival with founder Michael Moore. "You can take the girl out of Michigan but you can't take Michigan out of the girl," Madonna told the hundreds of fans gathered in a theater for the premiere of her documentary I Am Because We Are, about orphans in Malawi.

You know, I once had hundreds of people sing "Happy Birthday" to me, too. Well, actually it wasn't "Happy Birthday," it was "Take Me Out to The Ballgame." Okay, so it wasn't really just for me, it was being sung at a baseball game by hundreds of drunk fans trying to get on the JumboTron. Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?

Madonna Compares Tom Cruise To Malawi Orphans

And, no, it wasn't because of his height, which would probably be the only obvious point of comparison, but whatever. Madonna thinks that Tom is like the orphans because he, like the Malawi orphans, gets a quote-unquote raw deal.

She told New York magazine: "I think he gets a raw deal, just as I think the orphans in Malawi get a raw deal."

Riiiight. You know, because he has to deal with all that criticism about being a multi-gazillionaire Scientologist and all. Which is exactly like being an orphan in a famine-ravaged country.

It would be funny if it weren't so stupid and offensive.
