Madonna gains custody of Malawi boy

Madonna and her husband left Malawi Friday after gaining custody of a 1-year-old boy they adopted during a weeklong tour of orphanages in this impoverished southern African nation.

The private plane departed for an undisclosed destination just before 2 a.m. after a three-hour wait on the tarmac at Lilongwe airport. No reason was given for the delay.

Earlier a judge gave an interim order allowing Madonna to take the boy home with her.
