Sacha Baron Cohen has apologised to Madonna for mocking her in his new film 'Bruno'. In the movie, the film's fictional central character, an Austrian fashion correspondent, collects an African baby from a box on an airport baggage carousel, then turns to the camera to say "Angelina's got one, Madonna's got one, now Bruno's got one".
Baron Cohen previously appeared, of course, in Madonna's 'Music' video back in 2000 in his Ali G guise, which is possibly why he's feeling a little more sensitive about reports the singer is pissed off by the Bruno line. It's also possible that he feels particularly bad about it all because the singer's recent bid to adopt a second Malawian child failed. Whatever, he's sent Madge a note and some flowers. A source told The Daily Mirror: "Sacha is always out to make great comedy - and if he upsets people along the way, so be it. But when word reached him that Madonna thought his sketch was insensitive, he sent her a bouquet of flowers to say, 'No hard feelings'".
By all accounts, Madonna plans to appeal to the Malawian courts who recently refused her permission to take Chifundo ('Mercy') James out of the country.
