Sandra Bullock and her ex-husband Jesse James had <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/28/sandra-bullock-adopts-bab_n_554785.html" target="_hplink">adopted a baby boy</a>, Louis Bardo Bullock, in January 2010, but kept the news a secret until after the Academy Awards.

"The best way to teach [my children] about sharing and giving is to do those things myself and set an example," Madonna told<em> <a href="http://www.parents.com/parenting/celebrity-parents/madonna-on-motherhood/?page=2" target="_hplink">Parenting</em> magazine</a>.

"Milo and I have been in such transition -- I've been rebuilding and trying to be patient. And I've just put all of my focus on that," she said. "Because I can't go to work and be happy unless he's happy and feels secure." Tyler also recently attended the Alexandra McQueen Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
