Madonna was reportedly going to officially introduce her boy toy, Jesus Luz, at the post-Oscars Vanity Fair party, but instead she surprisingly showed up alone. She did, however, bring him to pre-Oscar parties, including the Grey Goose bash, where they sucked face the whole time.

The 50-year-old singer went public with the 22-year-old Brazilian for the first time, flaunting him at a pre-Academy Awards party. A source said: “She was all over him at the Grey Goose pre-Oscars party in Los Angeles. She was kissing his face off. Then she decided to invite him to join her at the actual bash – their first public outing together.” It was recently revealed that the popstar is desperate to prove she is committed to Jesus, following claims the ‘Hung Up’ singer is only romancing the model to make her estranged husband Guy Ritchie jealous.

Reports had originally said that Madonna was really looking forward to introducing Jesus as her new boyfriend at the Vanity Fair party, one of the bigger, more public bashes. While there, she was stopped by reporters on the red carpet to comment on her ex Sean Penn’s award for Best Actor.

Despite reports that Madonna was set to debut her rumored new boyfriend and W magazine model, Jesus Luz, at the Vanity Fair post-Oscar bash on Sunday night, the singer walked the red carpet solo and spoke to Access Hollywood about a different man from her life – ex-husband Sean Penn.

Decked out in an elegant sheer black gown, Madonna posed for photographs alone at the 2009 Vanity Fair Oscar Party at the Sunset Tower Sunday night.

“Powerful speech by Sean tonight,” Access’ Tony Potts said to the singer on the red carpet.

“Yeah, amazing,” Madonna said of Sean Penn ‘s win for Best Actor for his work in “Milk.”

I’m surprised that Madonna didn’t bring Jesus to the Vanity Fair party. All the stars want invites to that particular event, and bringing him as her date would have been a huge slap in the face to both Guy Ritchie as well as Alex Rodriguez. I’m curious to know why she wouldn’t take him to the post party if she was so public in her affection with him at the pre-parties.

It makes you wonder what she’s doing with him. At the very least, her relationship with Jesus is simply creating a lot of publicity. At the most, she’s quick to find a replacement for A-Rod and Guy Ritchie. A-Rod has reportedly found solace over the steroid scandal with his ex-wife instead of Madonna. And although he has also been photographed making out with young girls he picked up at clubs, he has been sporting a red bracelet, a sign of his conversion to Kabbalah.

I tend to think that she’s trying to make someone jealous, rather than her relationship with Jesus being all that serious. So – is it A-Rod or Guy Ritchie?

Now that Jesus (Luz) has “converted” to Kabbalah (although, as Geronimo pointed out, for Kabbalah, “conversion” appears to be tying the little red string around your wrist) – it’s time for Madonna to show off her latest boy toy. And what better place than the Oscars?

But is Jesus just a boy-toy, or is it for real? Is Madge getting serious about her latest? I have no idea. If she arrives at all of the Oscar parties with Jesus in tow, will it be viewed as something serious, or just a strange, grandma-aged woman with chicken cutlets applied to her face who brought her young nurse/caretaker to the Oscar parties?

Forget all that jewelry and those fancy handbags, Madonna has a different kind of accessory than diamonds this year — her 22-year old boytoy, Jesus Luz!

“Madonna and Jesus have spent all week planning their outfits for Oscar night,” a pal tells OK! “Madonna is planning on using the Vanity Fair party to introduce Jesus to the world as her new boyfriend, and she wants everything to be perfect!”

So why all the fuss if Jesus is just a fling? It seems Madge is getting serious about her latest conquest.

“She’ll put to rest any rumor that Jesus was ‘just a model’ during that racy W photo shoot,” the source adds. “Madonna and Jesus’ romance is real.”

I’ve said it before, I actually think Jesus is hot, a real catch. It bums me out that Madge stuck her claws in him. It’s unknown if Madonna will really be co-hosting an Oscar party with Demi Moore, but I’m sure that at the very least Madonna will attempt to party-hop her way into relevancy all night long.

Madonna’s relationship with 22-year-old model Jesus Luz is creepy at best. An ex-girlfriend of Luz just pointed out to the New York Post that Madge is the same age as his grandmother. Apparently Luz is so under her spell that his family thinks he’s being held captive by her. And while that would normally sound paranoid and insane, when we’re talking about Madonna, nothing is completely off the table.

The Material Girl is the same age as her new Brazilian lover’s grandmother, an ex-girlfriend says. Jesus Pinto da Luz, the 22-year-old blue- eyed model Madonna met on a photo shoot, has a granny who is about 50. Madonna turns 51 in August.

The hunk’s mortified mom, Cristiane Regina da Silva – who is 14 years younger than Madonna – believes the pop diva has kidnapped her son, snatching him away to a New York love nest and controlling his every move.

Madonna and Jesus spent the Christmas holiday in the Maldives, where her public-relations people confiscated his cellphone, accord ing to the Brazilian media.

His mom said she received only a cryptic text message from Jesus wishing his loved ones a Merry Christmas and telling them he wouldn’t be visiting for the holidays.

The hunk, who has left a trail of ex-girlfriends, had lived at home with his mother, a hairdresser, and his dad. Both parents are devout Evangelical Christians who sent Jesus to a private university prep school, where young women tailed him in the hallways to get his autograph “because his blue eyes were irresistible,” said a recent report in O Dia newspaper.

[From the New York Post]

Boy, I bet those Evangelical Christian parents of his aren’t too happy about Jesus declaring he’s converting to Kabbalah. Yesterday I saw a man on the subway wearing the Kabbalah red string bracelet and I got all excited. I’ve never actually seen anyone wear one in real life. But the subway man struck me as an actual believer -and probably wasn’t dating Madonna, since he was near her age. Not that I’d put anything past her.

I’m guessing Madonna isn’t technically holding Jesus hostage or anything, but it does sound like she’s isolating him. As a notorious control freak, that’s not surprising, though it’s still concerning. Madge seems like she does a decent job of brainwashing people – really, she’s an entire cult rolled into one person. I don’t blame Jesus’ family for being worried. If this situation were reversed and an older man were isolating a 22-year-old woman, confiscating her cell phone, and indoctrinating her into a cult, people would be up in arms. Just because it’s Madonna doesn’t mean it’s less scary. And being up in her arms is frightening in and of itself.

Did you think that Madonna’s film career sank with that boat in Swept Away? Well, you were wrong. Madge still wants acceptance as an actress, and to get that acceptance, Madge is bound and determined to play the most hated American in England. Such a stretch, right? No, Madonna wants to play the American divorcee Wallis Simpson, who married King Edward VIII. In the end, the engagement and marriage led King Edward to abdicate, leading to King George VI (and later, his daughter, Queen Elizabeth) to reign. The Daily Telegraph has more on Madonna’s “obsession” with the role she was born to play:

The pop singer, 50, is said to have become fascinated with the story of the American socialite who caused a constitutional crisis.

Now she intends to portray her in a film which will tell the story of how Edward gave up his position as the King of England after less than a year, so he could marry the twice-divorced Mrs Simpson in 1936.

Madonna is said to see similarities between herself and Mrs Simpson, who later became the Duchess of Windsor, as they are both Americans who moved to Britain and caused a “stir” with their relationships.

According to sources, Madonna, who divorced British film director Guy Ritchie last year, covered a wall of her London house with articles about Wallis Simpson and even wrote to the Queen to ask permission to make the film.

A source told The Sun: “Madonna sees Wallis Simpson as her next big film project. She is as passionate about it as she was about playing Eva Peron in Evita.

“Madonna said she is fascinated with this American commoner who refused to conform or offer explanations for her tangled love life.

“It was all systems go when until the divorce, when everything was put on the back-burner. When things in her life settle down this year, she’s keen to get things going again.”

From The Daily Telegraph

The story of King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson is very interesting, and I’m genuinely surprised it hasn’t been made into a major film. But Madonna as Wallis Simpson? Uh, no. Please. Get a real actress.

In other Madonna news, the latest rumor about her and Jesus Luz is that it’s all some sort of scam. Madonna wanted to be seen as attractive and desirable, and Jesus wanted a career boost. Apparently all of the photo-ops at the Kabbalah Center are just to make Guy Ritchie jealous? I’m chuckling at that one. Does anyone think that Guy Ritchie looks at current photos of Madonna and feel anything other relief?

Madonna’s relationship with Brazilian male model Jesus is nothing but a desperate attention-seeking exercise, insiders have revealed.

Sources close to the singer claim she is using one of her typical publicity ploys to drum up interest in her tour. The carefully orchestrated photos are also apparently designed to wind up ex Guy Ritchie – although he is not taking the bait.

A source alleged: “It’s a classic Madge publicity stunt but suits both parties well. Despite her advancing years, she looks like she’s still got what it takes to pull a 22-year-old. And Jesus is getting a boost of publicity as well. Everyone’s a winner.”

The pair were introduced by celebrity snapper Steven Klein and Madonna, 50, asked Jesus to join her on tour in Sao Paulo. The Material Girl also took him to the Kabbalah centre in New York at the weekend with children Lourdes and David Banda.

A source added: “Guy saw the pictures of her and Jesus together and laughed out loud. He sees it as another publicity exercise. Taking Jesus to Kaballah is a masterstroke as she always historically introduces her lovers to the religion.”

“It’s just Madonna for you. She loves being the centre of attention. You would have thought she’d grown tired of it by now.”

Sources close to the singer also say the “relationship” has annoyed baseball star Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez, who she was rumoured to have been seeing.

From The Daily Mirror

Honestly, I bought the A-Rod relationship as a sham, but I would completely buy Madonna and Jesus as some sort of realistic romantic liaison. Jesus is just so young and naive! I can see him “falling for” Madonna, briefly. And really, can Jesus Luz expect that big of a career boost just by appearing with Madonna for a few weeks?

So Madonna has pretty much dumped steroid-pumping Alex Rodriguez for 22-year-old Brazilian model Jesus Luz. Madge has made a handful of semi-public appearances with the drop-dead gorgeous model, whom she met at a photo-shoot for W Magazine. A-Rod is said to be so distraught he turned to the wife he spurned for Madonna and had a fling in the Bahamas with two women who were making out in front of him at a bar.

Now there’s further evidence that Madonna and Jesus Luz are for real. Jesus is pulling the same Kabbalah-conversion stuff that Guy Ritchie and A-Rod were forced to go through to get into the Madge Vadge Motel. Jesus Luz confirmed on his website that he’s joined the religion (or “religion”), spurning the Catholicism he was raised with. But how, you may ask, will he be able to afford the $50 Kabbalah water? Perhaps Madge is picking up the tab for her new lover. The Daily Mirror has more:

Jesus comforted Madonna in her hour of need… and now she’s made him rethink his entire faith.

In a miraculous about-turn, Brazilian model Jesus Luz has switched to Madge’s mysterious Kabbalah faith – despite being a strict Catholic. So smitten with the Material Girl is the 22-year-old hunk, he’s joined an online community for Kabbalah believers.

Jesus – recently seen cavorting semi-naked with Madge in a W magazine spread – has updated his website, informing “friends” about the move. Says our source: “Jesus’s family are very traditional and quite religious so this news is sure to come as something of a shock.

“But Jesus is totally taken with Madonna and is slightly in awe of her. Quite simply he can’t get enough, and finds her utterly compelling and bewitching.”

“The pair have spent a lot of time together in recent weeks and Madonna’s chatted quite freely about her personal beliefs – especially Kabbalah.” Madge has obviously made quite an impression on the boy from Brazil. He has taken a real interest in it and started making a few online enquiries into the faith,” our source goes on.

“He has joined an online Kabbalah group and is keen to become an active member. Madonna has also offered to take him to the Kabbalah centre in New York and he is exceedingly keen to take her up on that.”

Since splitting with Guy Ritchie last year, Madge has been linked to baseball star A-Rod and now Jesus who, at 22, is 28 years her junior. Jesus’s newfound spiritual interest will raise a few eyebrows back in his native homeland – Kabbalah is not big in Brazil. But Jesus claims not to worry about that.

In his online profile, Jesus writes: “It is not important what others think about us. The most important thing is to have a clear conscience, even if I am condemned. We can not forget that Jesus was condemned.”

From The Daily Mirror

Oh, sweet Jesus. Can you still have a martyr complex when you’re a Kabbalah-following douche named Jesus? I do feel bad for the kid – and truly, he is a kid. Madonna knew exactly what she was doing when she sunk her claws into this hottie. At this point, he probably doesn’t even know which end is up.

I’m giving some begrudging respect to Madonna, though. I have absolutely no idea how she got A-Rod to so publicly humiliate himself and his wife all to have a little time in the Madge Vadge Motel. I have no idea what a 22-year-old hottie would see in The Gristle, except for maybe a naive belief that it might be cool for a little while. What hidden talents does this woman have? How can I get them?

What is going on with Madonna and Alex Rodriguez and their affair of the heart? Their hearts don’t seem all that interested in each other anymore. Though they were recently reported to have rekindled their romance, it must be one heck of an open relationship, because Madge is still spending a good deal of time with Brazilian model Jesus Luz, who she was linked to over a month ago. The best part – well, aside from the whole A-Rod debacle – is that Jesus is only 22. Which is the same age I believe Madonna likes to think she looks.

They haven’t been photographed together for over a month, but this picture of Madonna and Brazilian model Jesus Luz will fuel speculation of a romance. The singer, 50, left a restaurant with the 22-year-old in New York yesterday. The couple ate at the Marcelleria Italian steakhouse in Manhattan’s trendy meatpacking district, before Madonna took her children Lourdes, David and Rocco for a shopping trip.

Their lunch date came a day after Madonna was seen enjoying a family day out with ex-husband Guy Ritchie While Madonna was wrapped up for the cold winter day, which saw temperatures dip as a low as -4C, Luz appeared oblivious to the chill as he walked with his shirt open

They were first photographed in December, but appeared to be standing deliberately apart, after another dinner date in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Madonna met Jesus in December on a photoshoot with celebrated photographer Steven Klein for American magazine W. In the raunchy pictorial, a smartly dressed Madonna pulls topless Jesus towards her in an intimate pose. Madonna was apparently so enamoured with the handsome Latino, she asked him to accompany her for the remainder of the South America leg of her Sticky & Sweet Tour.

[From the Daily Mail]

Just one nit-picky thing to point out to the Daily Mail: it was 47 degrees in New York yesterday. Quite warm for February. The kind of weather where some cold folks still had on their scarves, and others had their jackets open. It’s not like Jesus was so desperate to have his shirt open that he was enduring freezing temperatures or anything.

Jesus’ career is doing extraordinarily well since hooking up with Madonna. And it sounds like his ego has also grown in proportion. Last year his fee for a show was $225; this year he tried to charge $135,000 for the exact same gig. He also has dumped his agent, who says lots of people are interested in Jesus now, but they’re balking at his fees.

Since being linked to Madonna, it’s perhaps no surprise Jesus’s modelling career has been given a huge boost. His former agent Sergios Mattos, who runs 40 Graus Models, told the New York Post that Jesus stopped taking his calls after meeting Madonna and has now signed to the more high-profile Ford Models.

Mattos told Brazilian website Glamurama.com.br: ‘He stopped answering his phone, his mother quit her job… But I wish him the best. A source close to model also told Glamurama Jesus had raised his modelling rates since meeting Madonna. The source said: ‘He was asking for some $135,000 a show. He did the same job last year for a mere $225.

‘A lot of people are contacting him but because he keeps raising his rates, they are changing their minds.’

[From the Daily Mail]

Jesus might want to reconsider assuming his worth has gone up exponentially. Madonna is very much the “love ‘em and leave ‘em” type when it comes to her boy toys, and I highly doubt anyone will remember this guy’s name in a few months. Remember that whole thing about the people you meet on the way up are the same ones you meet on the way down? Pissing them off with your giant ego won’t do you any favors. Neither will falling in love with Madonna – at least in the long run.
