Sandra Bullock Adopts a Black Baby

According to People magazine, Sandra Bullock has adopted a 3 1/2 month old Black baby from New Orleans--and she's also filed for divorce from her philandering husband, Jesse James. The Oscar winner tells the magazine that she and James brought the little boy home in January, but she now plans to raise him as a single parent. "He's just perfect, I can't even describe him any other way," she says. "It's like he's always been a part of our lives." Best of luck, Sandra!
