Celebrity Sperm Bank Advocate To Be Godfather To Madonna’s Baby
The Sun newspaper in England is reporting this morning that Madonna 
plans to ask her British pal, actor Rupert Everett, to be godfather to her sort-of adopted son David. Setting aside the international furor over David’s bungled adoption, which has caused Madonna to schedule an Oprah appearance to explain everything, the choice of Everett is misguided.
I wrote last month about Everett’s idea for a celebrity sperm bank, which I felt was a terrible idea, as did one other person who commented on my post. With Everett being at the center of a such a firestorm of controversy over celebrity sperm banks, can he be trusted as the godfather of a boy who is now one of the biggest celebrity babies of all time? I don’t think so.
As I mentioned in my post about Everett’s idea, it showed a complete lack of understanding about what it means to be a celebrity baby. A celebrity baby is not just sperm and eggs. A celebrity baby is an event. A celebrity baby is a wacky name. A celebrity baby is a registry at Petit Tresor, (even if it didn’t work too well for Britney Spears).
Madonna needs to rethink this one. I’m sure her buddy Everett is a nice person deep down, but when it comes to celebrity babies, he is seriously misguided. And the role of godfather to little David Banda is just too important, and too high-profile, to be left to an amateur. It’s really a job for Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise.
