...easy to imagine MADONNA and ANGELINA JOLIE as gal pals--arranging intercontinental playdates for the kids, venting about their pretty-boy partners, discussing Third World debt. So when France's Gala magazine quoted Jolie as saying of the Material Girl's adoption of a 1-year-old from Malawi last year, "It's a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption. Personally, I prefer to stay on the right side of the law," it sounded like the makings of an A-list mama brawl. But Jolie, whose adopted children Maddox, 5, and Zahara, 2, are from Cambodia...

"To those who say she has a right to develop and grow," argues Dr. Daniel Gunther, "Ashley has no concept of these things...
...Doctors watching it all from the sidelines note that there are serious medical questions at stake. For one thing, there is no way to know the effect of high-dose estrogen on such a young girl. "Before moving forward wholesale, we need to study it carefully," says Dr. Jeffrey Brosco, an associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Miami, who wrote a dissent in the journal where the case was published. "Right now it is truly an experimental treatment." But he is sure there will be more interest: just last week a family he treats had to put their...
