NEW YORK (Reuters) - A single phone call prompted Madonna to begin charity work in Malawi and it was while making a documentary on the African country's 1 million orphans that she found a baby she decided to adopt.
Premiering at New York's Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday, "I Am Because We Are," which was written, produced and narrated by Madonna, looks at the plight of the children orphaned by the AIDS crisis in one of the world's poorest countries.
Her interest in Malawi began about two years ago after she was contacted by a businesswoman, born and raised in the country, through a mutual friend.

On a balmy autumn day in Vancouver, Canada, a young man is longing for a walk outside in the sunshine, and deciding against it.
Far easier for him to stay in his hotel room, cocooned in five-star luxury, with a cellphone that has run out of charge, safe at least from the girls chanting his name outside.
Robert Pattinson, 23, from Barnes in southwest London, ought still to be one of Hollywood’s beautiful dreamers, moving up the ranks of movie acting, enjoying his American adventure, his guitar, his good looks.

When I was in college, I read a book that changed my life. It was Susan Brownmiller's tome, Against Our Will: Men, Women, and Rape, which explained rape as an act of power instead of just lust. What I found particularly chilling was the chapter on war -- how rape is used to terrorize a population and destroy the enemy's spirit.

Christmas and New Years are about the only times you can be decked out in sequins and rhinestones galore (without being mistaken for a Vegas showgirl!). Stores have put out everything from hats, dresses, pants and tons of accessories full of glitz and glamour. I came across the Arden B.

I just came back from a run, feeling pretty good, and thinking....Is this my Best Day Ever? Yes!
Everything I have been worried about is beginning to fall into place. Do I feel lucky? YES! Do I feel blessed? Absolutely!
I really believe in the power of positive thinking. Sometimes when things seem to be crumbling around me I remember what my Grandmother used to say... "let your light shine bright and the darkness will run away" so I have been particularly shiny and ever hopeful. Things are looking up!
