Madge gets her own little ray of light - a new baby!
Mama Mia

Sensitive pop fans get your face-sized hankies at the ready, cos we've got an extra NICE Madonna news story to warm your cockles.

Taking a leaf out of large-lipped Angelina Jolie's book, the dancing queen has adopted a 13-month-old baby called David from an orphanage in Malawi.

According to the Sun, Madge made two visits to the church-run Home For Hope orphanage outside Mchinji, near the Zambian border, and it was love at first sight.

A source at the home said little Davie won the singer's heart during an hour-long play session: "Madonna was shown a number of pictures of boys at the orphanage but fell for David. She played with him on the floor and took him to the church. She also carried him on her back, which was very symbolic as that is the way Malawian mothers carry their children."

Bless! And there's more...

"They were both so natural in each other's company. They were laughing and smiling with each other. You could just tell by the look on Madonna's face that she felt it was right to choose him."

Blub! And there's still more...The singer is also funding a new two million pound orphanage in the country as part of her Raising Malawi charity project.

Blimey! Stop now, or we'll have to replace our eyes!
