Madonna was on hand, and hands on, during a recent school groundbreaking in Malawi. The pop star got her hands dirty when she dug up some soil at the site for a new girls academy she is building.

With her eldest daughter Lourdes at her side, Madonna cut cake, planted a tree and turned sod at a ceremony which drew 1,000 locals. "After seeing all the hard working Malawian women who are looking after families and communities, I realized how much they deserve to be educated," said Madonna.

According to a brochure for the Raising Malawi Girls Academy, it will be a "leadership institution to prepare future women leaders" with 500 boarders from each of the country's 28 districts. The school is modeled on the academy Oprah Winfrey set up in South Africa. It will take two years to build.

While the UK is frenzied over Susan Boyle's loss on Britain's Got Talent, at least their Prince is keeping it cool during his first visit to New York.

Prince Harry of Whales competed Saturday afternoon at the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic, just outside New York City on Governors Island.

Marking his first visit to the Eastern city, Harry was in great company with Madonna and her son David Banda. While Madge, an avid horse lover, sat this competition out, she did take some time to catch up with pal Marc Jacobs.

The two gabbed over an Interview magazine while David sipped a pink drink, alongside the likes of Kate Hudson and Chloe Sevigny.

Madonna and Jacobs will collaborate once again on an International ad campaign for Louis Vuitton, for which Jacobs is creative director.
