Madonna Lawyers Seek To Halt 'intimate' Sale....

Lawyers acting on behalf of Madonna are battling to stop a sale of the star's love letters and intimate photographs.A series of saucy letters and Polaroids sent by the singer to then boyfriend James Allbright in the early 1990s were recently sold to Marquee Capital, an agency specialising in Madonna memorabilia.The company is now reported to be selling the effects for $200,000 (£100,000), but the star is reported to be "devastated" at the unexpected appearance of the items - as she is concerned they could jeopardise her plans to adopt Malawian tot David Banda permanently.Penston Kimble, the head of Malawi's child welfare service, is due to spend a week in London with Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie later this month (Aug07).He will ascertain whether the 23-month old can be officially adopted by the couple, who brought him back to the U.K. from a Malawian orphanage last October (06).Madonna's lawyers insist any sale of the goods would be an invasion of privacy and a breach of copyright.
