MADONNA'S ADOPTION BID GOES TO COURT

BLANTYRE, Malawi — Malawi's highest court heard arguments yesterday on Madonna's bid to adopt a 3-year-old girl from the southern Africa country, as a dispute erupted over whether a man trying to stop the proceedings is the girl's father.

Madonna was not at the hearing at the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal. She is fighting a lower court's decision that she can't adopt Chifundo "Mercy" James because she had not been screened over time by Malawi authorities.

The court said the rules were bent when Madonna adopted her son, David, from Malawi last year.

On Sunday, a man told The Associated Press he was the girl's father, and has sought help from the Malawi Law Society to stop the adoption. But the brother of the girl's mother told the AP the family does not know who the man is.

WARDROBE-MALFUNCTION FINE STILL ALIVE

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court yesterday ordered a federal appeals court to re-examine its ruling in favor of CBS Corp. in a legal fight over entertainer Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction.

The high court directed the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia to consider reinstating the $550,000 fine that the Federal Communications Commission imposed on CBS over Jackson's breast-baring performance at the 2004 Super Bowl.

Last year, the appeals court threw out the fine against CBS, saying the FCC strayed from its long-held approach of applying identical standards to words and images when reviewing complaints of indecency.
