Adopted baby count! Angelina: 3 Madonna: seeking 2

These days celebs are adopting children faster than they're buying handbags. Surely there's no questioning how charitable their efforts are in placing these young ones in safe and loving homes, but we can't help but almost feel a race between some ladies to prove their devotion, specifically towards reaching out and adopting from foreign countries. Madonna had a total head start on her brood giving birth to daughter Lourdes in 1996. Years later came Rocco, with husband Guy Ritchie, and most recently adopted Malawian David.

Now comes word that she's looking to adopt a girl from India, adding one more to her roost. Not to be outdone, Angelina adopted Maddox, Zahara, birthed Brad Pitt's baby, Shiloh, then adopted Pax, only to become pregnant with twins. Ladies, we hate to break it to you, but you weren't pioneers in this area. Tom Cruise and ex-wife Nicole Kidman share two adopted children, as do Steven Spielberg and wife Kate Capshaw. Rosie O'Donnell and her wife Kelli Carpenter have three adopted kids and even launched an effort to help same-sex couples with adoption in the 1990s. But who wears the crown as queen mother? Mia Farrow. Angie, she beat you to this decades ago with a whopping 11 adopted children plus another four she birthed naturally. But keep trying. [The Sun]
