Some Catholics in Poland have formed a protest committee in a bid to stop a concert in Warsaw by Madonna on the Feast of the Assumption. But not all see it as a problem.

While Madonna's controversial adoption attempts have put the small and land-locked African nation in the spotlight of global media, the struggles of ordinary Malawians for economic survival have received much less attention.

Last year Sir Elton John said religion was bigoted and should be banned. Now anti-gay residents of Tobago want him banned from attending a music festival. The contest looks to be a non-event.
