Dumas' agent Sharlene Martin tells the New York Daily News, "I deeply regret that Crown decided not to move forward in publishing (the nanny's) book." Last year Madonna caused global controversy with her adoption of baby David, a boy from Malawi,when she was givn custody of the child during her two week stay in the country. Under Malawi law couples wanting to adopt must wait 18 months before they are given custody of a child. During Madonna's career she has always been the centre of controversy her video "Like A Prayer" caused outrage among the religious community when she burnt crosses and kissed a black Jesus.And similarly last year on her Confessions tour she appeared on stage strapped to a large cross.
