Things are not well at home for Madonna, but her adult daughter Lourdes is flying high—her debut for Stella McCartney is radiant.

I'm quoted in this New York Post piece on Madonna and Guy Ritchie's custody battle over their son Rocco.

The article itself is not terrible, though it does tilt toward Ritchie since he apparently had someone on his side leak info to make him look better in advance of a February hearing, whereas Team Madonna hasn't commented.

What's dispiriting is the ugly headline. No one has suggested that her kids “want nothing to do with her.” Heartless way to attract clicks. Glad I am not in that part of this business.

As of midnight last night, it was exactly six years since my first post. It's been a tough thing to keep up with a dayjob and outside activities, and just when I think I might walk away, a valuable connection or interesting opportunity or a kind word comes my way. Thank you all for reading me.

Of whom are you more jealous?

Here are my favorite 100+ posts out of nearly 11,000. Please take some time to read (or re-read!) a couple and tweet or Facebook any you like.
