Madonna: I'm Not Going to Brazil to Meet Jesus' Mom

Madonna: Je ne vais pas au Brésil pour rencontrer la mère de Jesus.

Tuesday – November 10, 2009 – 12:30pm

Madonna is not planning on meeting the mother of Jesus. At least not yet.
Traveling to Brazil this week with 23 year-old boyfriend Jesus Luz, Madonna, 51, squashed a report that she'll spend some time with Cristiane Regina da Silva, Luz's mom,  who is 14 years younger than Madonna.
"I am going there strictly for fundraising and humanitarian purposes," she told the New York Post. That includes a meeting with the governor of Rio de Janeiro and sponsorship of a documentary about impoverished local children.
This follows Tuesday's claims by the UK's Daily Mail that Madonna was "slightly on edge" about meeting her boyfriend's 37 year-old mother, a hairdresser who had Jesus as a teen and felt "uncomfortable" about his relationship.
The pop star, 51, was in the African nation Malawi with her four children at the end of October for similar charity efforts. Visiting the orphanage where she found son David, 4, Madonna encountered a young orphan who said, "You are our god . . . Where could we have been without you?"
She and the 23 year-old Luz, a model and aspiring DJ, have been dating since February 2009.

Madonna Slams Rumours She's Meeting Luz's Family
10 November 2009 12:11

Madonna has refuted reports she's jetted to Brazil to meet her boyfriend Jesus Luz's family - insisting her visit is strictly business.
The Material Girl landed in Luz's native country this week (begs09Nov09) alongside her beau, fuelling speculation she is to step up the romance by meeting the model's relatives.
But Madonna is adamant she is only in South America for charity work - she plans to visit some of Rio de Janeiro's slums and to discuss setting up some "social projects" with the city's governor Sergio Cabral.
She tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, "I am going there strictly for fundraising and humanitarian purposes.”
The singer is also sponsoring a documentary on the children living in slums.

MADONNA is jetting to Brazil this week with her current squeeze, Jesus Luz, but she denies it's to meet his mom, Cristiane Regina da Silva. She told Page Six, "I am going there strictly for fund raising and humanitarian purposes." She's meeting with the governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Sergio Cabral, and sponsoring a documentary about kids living in the squalid hillside slums. Meanwhile, despite rumors that Luz would join actor/model Adam Senn in the new Dolce & Gabbana campaign, it turns out the Material Girl herself has landed the job. She shot it along with Senn, owner of Chelsea restaurant Il Bastardo, late last week in Brooklyn. A source said, "The campaign was shot by Steven Klein and has a gorgeous vintage Italian look, like 'The God father.' "
