Madonna was seen giving her newly adopted daughter, Mercy James, 4, a piggy back ride outside the Kabbalah center in London on Saturday. Reports vary as to Mercy’s age, but she definitely looks 4 or older. She’s a cutie and looks like a sweet little girl. You can understand why Madonna was so adamant about giving her a home. Mercy looked a little bewildered when she first arrived in London, but she seems comfortable and happy with Madonna and is probably getting used to her new situation.

The 50 year-old pop singer was also seen out at dinner last week holding a portable nebulizer, which is used to administer medication as a fine mist. It is likely that she was using it to treat and/or preserve her voice ahead of her concert tour this summer. Madonna will play 24-cities in a 2 month tour that starts this weekend in London, on July 4.

Madonna has expressed her grief at the death of Michael Jackson. She issued a statement that she “can’t stop crying over the sad news,” and that her “heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family.” Madonna’s official website, Madonna.com, has also been updated with a large photo of her with Jackson at the 1991 Oscars. It’s got to be hard to see one of your old friends and contemporaries pass like that.
