Nothing bonds a new couple like travel! That must be why Madonna (above left, with Britney) is planning to drag her new paramour on tour in South America with her.

The New York Daily News reports that the recently separated Material Girl, who decamps to Mexico for a concert on the 29th before playing a string of dates in the Southern Hemisphere, is adding Alex Rodriguez to her entourage. After she wraps up her "Sticky & Sweet" world tour, it's time for a romantic vacation--to Malawi, where Madge adopted son David Banda in 2006 and where she's building an orphanage.

Think it stuns ex Guy Ritchie that he's not getting a free trip to Chile, Brazil and Argentina? He's probably relishing the alone time in his native London, where he's shooting his next feature, a big-screen adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. Besides, he's taking care of sons Rocco and David.

Collect them all! Now that the addition of David Banda to the Ritchie family is complete, Madonna is reportedly looking to adopt another infant from Malawi, this time a girl.

Her marriage may have just been splashed all over the tabloids, but the Material Girl and Co. started visiting the girl months before Alex Rodriguez's marriage blew up.

Little Mercy James, 3, is the chosen one, but her grandmother doesn't want her to leave the country. After the trouble over Banda, who is also from Malawi, this second adoption will be anything but easy.
