Angelina Jolie's good will is rubbing off on Madonna. The Material Girl was given temporary custody of a motherless one-year-old Malawian boy named David Banda this week as adoption proceedings take place.

"Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie have been granted custody of their son David," Madonna publicist Liz Rosenberg said. "Final legal arrangements are being made to bring him home to his new family."

Madonna and Ritchie already have biological children Lourdes, 9, and Rocco, 5.
