Madonna, Jolie bond over adoptions

Madonna and Angelina Jolie have put their differences behind them by bonding over their adoption-related problems.

In the past the pair have feuded with each other over their support of adoption.

Madonna criticised the A Mighty Heart actress for not really helping the crisis, while Jolie slammed the singer for adopting from a country where there is "no legal framework for adoption".

After Madonna was asked if she was jumping on Jolie's "bandwagon" by adopting her son David Banda from Africa, she replied: "Look, I could have joined the U.N. and become an ambassador and visited various countries and just kind of showed up and smiled and looked concerned. But that’s not getting to the root of the problem.”

But the pair have since cleared the air after Madonna rang Jolie to console her when the mother of her adopted daughter Zahara said that she wanted her child back in Ethiopia.

A source told the National Enquirer that after the pair bonded during the phone conversation, Madonna said: "I have a new confidante in Angie.”
