We all knew it was inevitable that Sandra Bullock would be announcing she is filing for divorce from Jesse James real soon but what none of us expected was this People Magazine cover of her announcing she adopted a baby.
Sandra introduces her baby boy Louis Bardo Bullock, who is just 3½-months-old and was born in New Orleans. Apparently both she and Jesse started the adoption process four years ago together and they brought Louis home in January but wanted to keep him a secret until after the Oscars.
Of course as we all know, a week after the Oscars is when the whole scandal surrounding Jesse and his affairs started to shock us all. Sandra went into hiding and we now know part of that reason is because of her new son, she is now finishing the adoption process by herself and will be a single mother.
As for filing for divorce she says, “Yes, I have filed for divorce, I’m sad and I am scared.”
This just blew my mind, I have no idea how Sandra Bullock managed to keep a new baby secret when everything else was spilling out. But good for her, she deserves a bit of joy in her life after that douchebag. People sure did get a good exclusive didn’t they?

Celebrity Divorces linked with Sandra Bullock Filed For Divorce & Adopted Baby
Madonna was reportedly “furious” today after a judge in Malawi sensationally denied her bid to adopt little Mercy.
Madonna was told she could not take the tot back with her to the US because the singer was not a permanent resident of Malawi.
Sources close to the star said she was “spitting blood” after the judge defied the Malawian government to deny the adoption.
But the judge launched a stinging attack on high profile celebrities flying in to poverty-stricken countries and adopting children.
The ruling said:
“Put simply courts do make law by the process of precedence and Miss Madonna may not be the only international person interested in adopting the so-called poor children of Malawi.
By removing the very safeguard that is supposed to protect our children the courts by their pronouncements could actively facilitate trafficking of children by some unscrupulous individuals who would take advantage of the weakness of the law of the land.
Anyone could come to Malawi and quickly arrange an adoption that might have grave consequences on the very children that the law seeks to protect.
Having considered this then, at the end of the day I must decline to grant the application for the adoption of the infant CJ.”
Court registrar Ken Manda told reporters Madonna’s bid to adopt a 4-year-old girl, Mercy James, had been rejected because the singer was not a resident of Malawi.
More than 100 rights groups have accused Malawian authorities of giving Madonna special treatment.
Malawi’s government, which came under fire after Madonna adopted David Banda, said on Thursday it would support a second adoption.
The judge said:
“According to information from global media the petitioner jetted into the country just days after making the application.
I take judicial notice of the reports in the media that the last time that the Petitioner was in the country was in 2008 at the time of the final adoption order for David Banda.
In my considered opinion this would completely remove the Petitioner from the definition of a resident as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary.”
I guess money can’t buy everything.

Madonna did not get her adoption approved.
The singer, 50, spent about an hour in court Monday morning in the Malawi capital of Lilongwe, where a judge delayed ruling on her application to adopt a second Malawian child, 3-year-old Mercy James, until Friday. (The child’s name was listed on Monday’s court docket.)
Court official Thomson Ligowe would not reveal any other information.
Mercy James’ grandmother, 61-year-old Lucy Chekechiwa, is reportedly against Madonna’s decision to adopt. (Mercy James’ single teen mother died at age 18; the girl’s father is believed to be alive.)
She told Britain’s The Sun,
“Why doesn’t this singer pick other children? It is stealing. I want to go to to court. I won’t let her go.”
It is unknown if Chekechiwa was at court Monday.
Madonna arrived in the African nation Sunday with her children, Lourdes, 12, and sons Rocco, 8, and David, 3, whom she adopted from Malawi in 2007.
Criticism over her decision to adopt continued to brew over the weekend.
