That poor little baby!

Madonna's attempt to adopt a motherless little girl, living in an orphonage in Malawi, was shot down by a local judge on Friday.

"The decision came down to residency requirement and the fact that the judge believes she was being well taken care of in the orphanage," said Zione Ntaba, a spokeswoman for the Malawi Justice Department. "For the Malawians, the fact that the child is at an orphanage, is being taken care of and is going through the school education system, that does qualify as the best interests of a child."

You see, that's the problem!!!! If "residency" was an issue this time around, then they shouldn't have made an "exception" for Madonna when she adopted little David from Malawai without having residency!

It was not clear why Judge Esme Chombo ruled differently Friday. Another judge had handled Madonna's previous adoption case.

Plus, a baby would be better suited in an orphanage instead of at a loving home with a mother and siblings - and LOTS of money????

If she's so inclined, Madonna can appeal today's ruling to Malawi's Supreme Court.

To celebrate the expected adoption of Mercy James Friday morning, Madonna is throwing a party that the people of Malawi will never forget!

The staff of Raising Malawi, family of Mercy James, government officials, and teachers will be throwing it down at the Kumbali Lodge tonight, Thursday, with Madge & Co.!

Entertainers for the soiree have been popping in and out of the Kumbali Lodge all day including a traditional drummer who told reporters, "We are very excited."

Whoa!

Weirdness!

Jamie Foxx was almost trapped in the closet his hotel room in Philadelphia when a 49-year-old creepolla attempted to shove his way in.

The attacker said he was Beyonce's manager and tried to force his way in once Foxx opened the door. Foxx managed to fight back and the attacker fled.

9 days after the March 22nd incident, Jamie's security personnel spotted the man and called police.

He was arrested for burglary, criminal threats, stalking, false imprisonment and harassment.

Kinda incredibly offensive. Yet also incredibly funny!

Watch the just-released Bruno trailer (above).

Did Redmond O'Neal really think he could leave rehab with no consequences???

We reported earlier today that the son of actor turned meth junkie Ryan O'Neal had been kicked out of his court-mandated rehab facility, potentially facing parole violation.

Redmond's back in trouble, y'all!

O'Neal is now due in court next Wednesday in Malibu to face the judge on his forced leave from rehab due to a "dirty test."

So what does Daddy O'Neal think of the situation?

He wants to see his son sent to prison!!

Only fair, right?
