Madonna leaving her gym. London, England- 28.10.06

The DON'T TELL ME star has received a barrage of criticism for adopting the young boy from Malawi and has been accused of receiving preferential treatment because she is a celebrity.

She tells Time magazine, "There is a part of me that is secretly enjoying p**sing people off, because I know that when you're p**sing people off you're often doing the right thing."

The star slams reports she received any kind of special treatment during the process saying, "And by the way, say I did cut the queue? Say I did cheat and not have to wait two years to adopt a child?

"Well good for me! Do you know how many children are going to die in the next two years? It's a stupid law. Change the law."

Madonna insists she is more conscious regarding the ramifications of her decisions adding, "What I hope I'm doing better now than I used to do is picking the right battles to fight, and not just being provocative for the sake of being provocative."
