Madonna Touches Down In Rio For The Poor And For Jesus

November 10, 2009 at 11:22 AM | by | Comments (0)

Madonna landed in Rio de Janeiro yesterday for a week long trip that may include meeting her boyfriend's mother and speaking with government officials about poverty.

Several reports are saying that the superstar is nervous about meeting Jesus Luz' family for the first time and that it may be a sign things are heating up between them. But Madge told Page Six the rumors aren't true and she is "there strictly for fundraising and humanitarian purposes.” We find it suspect that she would visit her boyfriend's hometown with him and not stop by to say hi to his moms. Maybe it's the age difference that is keeping her away, and we're not talking about the age difference between her and Jesus. Madonna also happens to be 14 years older than his mother!

Even if she doesn't meet the family, Madonna will have plenty to keep her busy. She plans to visit some of Rio de Janeiro's slums today for a possible documentary. Tomorrow, she is meeting with the the city's governor, Sergio Cabralto, to discuss setting up a few "social projects" within the city.

Last night, Madonna and Jesus had dinner at a Japanese restaurant in Zona Sul, the south zone of Rio and the most touristy section of the city. Right now, the swank Copacabana Palace in Zona Sul is offering a special Christmas package that includes accommodations and breakfast daily for $410 a night. Who knows, if things go well this week, Madonna just might be back in Rio for the holidays too.
