Little Mercy is going to be in for some huge changes after she arrives in New York, having been picked up by Madonna’s jet. One of the biggest culture shocks will most likely be the opulence and wealth that her new mother lives in. According to the Sun, Madge plans to bring Mercy to the large New York townhouse she recently purchased and is still renovating. Madge wants Mercy’s room to be decked out full princess-style. But what does Madge know about decorating little girl’s rooms? According to the Sun, not much. Despite already having a daughter (Lourdes), Madonna is at odds with how to decorate for Mercy’s new bedroom, so Madge is seeking the help of none other than The Goop. Yes, Gwyneth “William Joel” Paltrow will be decorating Mercy’s new bedroom, Goop-style. Hasn’t this poor child been through enough?
MOST little girls’ bedrooms are just decorated with a lick of pink paint.
But it’s a different story when you are the latest addition to MADONNA’s brood. The singer is pulling out all the stops to give new adopted daughter MERCY the most glamorous pad she could wish for. And she has called on pal and fellow mum GWYNETH PALTROW to supervise.
Madge was finally given permission to adopt four-year-old Mercy last week, and the Malawian tot is expected to join the family in New York in the next few days. Madge is currently renovating her £20million New York townhouse and has a huge shopping wishlist to fill the youngster’s new room.
It includes porcelain dolls, antique teddy bears, a library of leather-bound children’s books and ancient maps of Africa to adorn the walls.
A source revealed: “Madge wants Mercy to feel like a little princess when she arrives. Gwyneth has a home in the Hamptons area of New York and Madonna was so impressed with her daughter APPLE’s room that she asked Gwyneth to help her kit out Mercy’s new bedroom.”
“As well as all the items inside, she’s also commissioned a mini Georgian-style treehouse for Mercy and David in her garden. She’s been filling Mercy’s wardrobe at the same time. She’s stocked up on cashmere sweaters, dresses and silk tunics and has had a new charm bracelet made for her.”
“It features a miniature bell, a Statue of Liberty, a map of Africa and lockets with photos of everyone in her new family.”
And it is not just Madonna who is planning to spoil Mercy. Madge’s eldest girl, Lourdes, has been on a spree, too.
The source added: “Lourdes is beside herself with excitement about her new sister. She’s really looking forward to having a little girl in the house she can care for. She’s bought piles of leggings, hipster T-shirts, tutus and trainers for the new arrival.”

Yeah, Madge should just let Lola do all of the decorating. I had a feeling that Lola would be thrilled with her new sister, and I suspect I’m right. Lola is at an age where she probably really wants a little sister, and she might verge on treating Mercy like a little doll. Of course, the same could be said of Madge, at least if this report has any truth. Still, the room that they’re planning – though fussy – seems very nice, very sweet. I’m sure Mercy would appreciate it if she were a little older. Right now, Mercy probably just wants a security blanket and maybe a couple of stuffed animals, not “leather-bound children’s books” and “ancient maps of Africa”. It’s like Madge has never met a kid.

I wish this woman would go away. I grew up on Madonna but she just annoys me now.
It’s like the poor child’s living in a library. It’s all about what Madonna wants and how Madonna needs to be seen and nothing at all about finding out who Mercy is and what she likes and wants.
She’s just a dolly. That’s all.
I am so happy for that little girl. She will have so many opportunities that she wouldn’t have had growing up in an orphange in Africa. I have always been indifferent to Madonna not liking pop music but I don’t think there is anything but love in her motivation for adopting this child.
i want ancient maps of africa. that sounds cool. of course if I had to live with Madge to get it, I’d pass
LOL @ Lem – it’s a frickin hard one but yeah, I think I’d have to pass on it too…ancient maps are cool.
Right – I’m nearly giving myself a hernia from laughing over the past two days what with the Magic Loom conundrum and now Gwynnie and her ‘William Joel’ business. Can we all mock her for a minute more because by god she needs taking down a peg or twelvety.
How did Madonna manage to develop even a passing resemblance to Kate Winslet? That top photo is really strange in its hybridization.
How coincidental Kaiser!!
I knew that header rang a bell, like literally. I went back to Lainey’s post on this item from this morning, and she phrased it almost exactly, “Madonna is asking Gwyneth to GOOP out Mercy’s room”.
Madge could not do it for her third child, Jesus Luz, so she is now giving her best for the fourth one…
Katenonymous – I have long thought there was a resemblance between Winslet and early Madge, starting with Titanic. Of course, as Madge has altered herself over the years the similarities are fewer and fewer. I do like that she is sporting her early 80’s eyebrows again.
there are only so many ways you can move 5 words in 8:
Madonna GOOP’s up Mercy
Madge & Gwennie GOOP up the babies room
Gwyn GOOP’s on Madge’s manse
Madge gets GOOP on her new accessory
Gwyneth GOOP’s all over Madonna’s Mercy
Mercy me Madonna gets covered in Gwyn’s GOOP
GOOP covers Madonna’s Mercy’s room
Madonna + Gwyneth + Mercy’s room = GOOP
anyway you cut it, she couldn’t be bothered to fly her ass over and pick up her own daughter.
This is like the one thousand time that I read how Gyneth is using Madonna’s name and their relationship to get her name in the press.
I think we all agree that Gwyneth is pathetic in her fame chasing ways, but doesn’t Madonna mind that her “so called friend” is actually using her and their so called friendship?
I think Madonna actually believes that Gwyneth is a friend.
I hope this little girl is happy with her new family.
Please refer to Madonna as Madonna Louise. I remember Gwyneth using that when suggesting books to read.
So it is-
William Joel
Jonathon Bon Jovi
James Hendrix
Robert Marley
Christopher Martin
Care to add any?
i never noticed how strange that b&w photo is, but it is freaky looking! it looks like one of the photos from “forest gump” where they had to insert tom hanks into famous newsreels and stuff.
Can you imagine what’s going to go through this child’s mind once she arrives and has all these pretentious peeps around her. Now I’m actually pro this adoption for the Vadge, but with this move, she has now officially gone too far!!!!! I’m kidding, this is giving me more to live for, Mercy’s tell all is going to Fabulous. I cannot wait. Can you imagine if the one that the Vadge fought so hard for were to become the most problematic……actually, the most like the Vadge was (to a degree) to her own father.
Anyway, I’m happy for the Vadge, but Paltrow…she needs to find a deep, deep hole to go and dive into. She irks the HELL me. Can’t the depression hit her so she’d move to middle America and become one of us lowly heathens. (sorry, I was daydreaming)
BTW Bon Jovi is one word, I believe. And it would be The Honorary Robert Nesta Berhain Selassie Marley. (Oh sh*t, now I sound too POOPish)
Blue skies – Thomas Hanks.
I don’t think anything will ever better ‘William’ Joel tho.
Meh, it sounds like Madonna already knows what she wants. What’s poopy…er, goopy going to do, track everything down that the Queen wants? Sounds like a shitty job to me…oh well it’s not like Madonna is ever going to see the room…I’m sure the nannys will appreciate it though…
I have to add, that David is a cutie!!!
I just get so sad everytime I read about poor Mercy’s kidnapping. Her family must be just devastated knowing that their own government stole their child and gave her away to that disgusting slug to raise.
barneslr- What a pathetic comment.
It was her family (uncles and grandmother) who approved the adoption and expressed their happiness once the court made their decision to approve the adoption. The only one making a fuss is the so-called father who was never around and who the uncles call a liar and thief who is only seeking fame.
I doubt this story about the bedroom is even true. Gwyneth is in LA and Madonna and kids are in London.
