Custody Granted On: Oct. 12
"I was drawn to his face, something about him," the singer told Today about first meeting 15-month-old David Banda in Malawi. Once Madonna, 48, and husband Guy Ritchie took him home (the adoption won't be finalized until next year), she found out what that something was: "He's very flirtatious, and he's hysterically funny."

Sandler, 40, and his wife Jackie reached a milestone with the birth of daughter Sadie Madison. True to form, the funnyman couldn't help but greet her arrival with his characteristic humor.

"She's the miracle of our life," Holmes said.
