Madonna 'depressed' over failed adoption

Madonna is reportedly depressed after her application to adopt a Malawian girl was rejected.

The 'Miles Away' singer has allegedly stopped eating and exercising after a court ruled against the adoption of four-year-old Mercy James.

"She has abandoned her strict macrobiotic diet and is virtually eating nothing. She has even stopped training since she returned from Malawi and seems to be in a trance a lot of the time," a source told The Express.

The star is said to have lost 5lbs since returning to London and is struggling to control her emotions in public.

"Madonna attended a Passover dinner in London held by members of her Kabbalah faith and broke down in tears about Mercy," the source added.

"She looked wiped out, telling guests she felt weak from lack of sleep and exercise. She said she felt too low to train which, for her, is unheard of."

The 50-year-old star reportedly shared a tearful phone call with ex-husband Guy Ritchie and has vowed to appeal the court's decision.
