The divorce of Madonna and Guy Ritchie continues to evolve as the dust settles and we try to understand the logic behind the no pre-nup decision. Seriously, if you're worth $500 million then it goes without saying that you make him sign a pre-nup. Even Brit Brit got that part right. At least Madge can console herself with A-Rod while she listens to Pink's 'So What' on repeat. Stay tuned for Madonna to tear shit up in Manhattan like it's 1989. "You deserve the best in life, So if the time isn't right then move on. Second best is never enough, You'll do much better baby on your own. Express yourself."
The spokeswoman for Madonna just confirmed that she and Guy Ritchie are getting a divorce. Madonna caused a commotion this summer when the wife of Yankee star, Alex Rodriguez, divorced him due to his relationship with the material girl. Currently on her 'Dry and Sour' world tour, Madonna denied the rumours that she was getting with A-Rod from la isla bonita, but the two were spotted together last week in the city. So now it's official, Guy and Madonna will be divorced by Christmas. The couple were married for eight years and have been on the brink of divorce for the last three. After turning 50 years old, Madonna obviously needs a holiday to celebrate. Rock it out, girl.
Madonna & Co. left Malawai today after a six-day visit during which the children at the orphanage threw rocks at the paparazzi. Madonna and Lourdes brought David to visit the orphanage sans Guy Ritchie, who stayed home with Rocco. No purchasing of children occurred during the trip. Madonna did, however just collaborate on a song with Justin Timberlake in preparation for her new album which rumors to rock. You go ahead with your bad self.
Angelina Jolie is flying her freak flag again and The NY Post basically confirmed she's back to her old ways. They ran a blind item recently asking, "WHICH Tinseltown sex siren with a humanitarian streak has resumed her old habit of dabbling with heroin? She paid a recent visit to an old rock star friend and joined him in narcotic stupor." Today they ran this item regarding the Marilyn Manson divorce, "Another Manson-watcher tells Page Six he’s also close pals with Brad Pitt’s paramour, Angelina Jolie - who caught up with the rock star when she was in L.A. a little over five months ago. "They’ve known each other for a long time," said our source, "since she was way more wild than she is now - they are still good friends, though." Ang has a troubled history of heroin use and suicidal tendencies and all-around freakiness. Her recent interviews are not doing her any favors, either. She criticized Madonna for adopting in a country without adoption laws and described her daughter, Shiloh, as "a blob." She gave way too much information in Elle UK by saying, "I think I feel so much more for Mad and Z because they’re survivors, they came through so much. Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born. I have less inclination to feel for her." Angelina went on to say that Shiloh was an accident, "I wasn’t planning on getting pregnant. I’m the one that got knocked up." Lovely. Brad Pitt just added 50 grand to Shiloh's therapy fund.
Michael Jackson made his much-hyped return to the stage last night in London at the World Music Awards and it was a complete disaster. Wacko Jacko backed out of his scheduled performance of Thriller, opting instead to do whatever you want to call the above video. He's not singing, rather he's just walking around the stage. We're guessing he was lost and had no idea where or who he was. Fans were pissed and even boo'd host Lindsay Lohan twice when she messed up her lines. The show was not a complete wash as Chris Brown performed a tribute of Thriller, and Beyonce, Madonna and Kanye West won awards. Perhaps now Kanye will give it a rest. Speaking of, homegirl in the video needs to chill.
Madonna is continuing her talk show tour, hitting the morning shows to talk about the adoption of little baby David. The focus is now on racism as she explains that people come up to her on the street and ask her why she adopted a baby that has a different skin color than her. She goes on to explain that she doesn't see color. Um, then why the f*ck do you keep talking about it? She mentioned the race issue on Oprah and now again. And seriously, who are these "people" that are going up to a stranger and asking that? It's not like she lives in a trailer park in Redneck City, Alabama in the 1950's. It seems that Madonna is the only person bringing up the issue. It's like when people say, "I'm totally not racist." Or when people go on about how they don't do drugs or are not promiscuous. Only those that are guilty feel the need to defend themselves. The protests are a dead giveaway. Hopefully Guy Ritchie will assume most of the parenting responsibilities for their kids as Madonna is more wacked than usual these days. Conveniently she's promoting her latest Kaballah kids' book during her TV appearances. She needs to stop now. Please.
I'm gonna keep my baby, ooooh, ohhh, Papa don't preach. Madonna and her British accent were on Oprah yesterday to talk about the press coverage of her adoption process. While she was only on screen for twenty minutes she said, "My husband and I," at least 200 times. We get it. You're married. Here's your medal. It was like she was in a Kaballah trance and had to say that in every sentence. We learned that little David was two weeks old when he arrived at the orphanage, and his mother and three siblings died of HIV. She and her husband decided to adopt a child two years ago, they never considered adopting a child in Los Angeles (as reports suggested), and she never has met Angelina Jolie but did have dinner with Brad Pitt, although he did not influence their decision. The baby is healthy and there were some cute pictures of Lourdes and Rocco with little David. So, the adoption is sorted, and it's the bloody press that caused a row. Cheerio.
It's one thing after another surrounding the adoption of their baby for Madonna and husband, Guy Ritchie. People were upset that they were getting special expedited treatment in bringing their new son David home. The couple released this statement yesterday: 'My husband and I began the adoption process many months prior to our trip to Malawi. I did not wish to disclose my intentions to the world prior to the adoption happening as this is a private family matter. After learning that there were over one million orphans in Malawi, it was my wish to open up our home and help one child escape an extreme life of hardship, poverty and in many cases death, as well as expand our family. Nevertheless, we have gone about the adoption procedure according to the law like anyone else who adopts a child. Reports to the contrary are totally inaccurate. The procedure includes an 18-month evaluation period after which time we hope to make this adoption permanent. This was not a decision or commitment that my family or I take lightly. I am overwhelmed and inspired by my trip to Malawi and hope that it helps bring attention to how much more the world needs to do to help the children of Africa. My heartfelt thanks for all the good wishes I have received and I hope the press will allow my family some room for us to experience the joy we feel to have David home.' Madonna recently donated $3 million to the orphanages of Malawi and with BFF Rosie O'Donnell talking about her goodwill on 'The View,' Madonna's stock is definitely rising. Although Madonna did hand out signed copies of her children's book to people in Malawi, she didn't directly mention Kaballah. Smart.
Madonna's daughter, Lourdes, nick-named her mom Mama-donna and she is living up to her name with the adoption of a one-year-old boy from the African nation of Malawi. The baby's mother died shortly after giving birth and his biological father gave an interview saying that while he does not know who Madonna is, he is very happy that his son will have a good life with the American. Madonna recently traveled to Malawi which is in Southeastern Africa bordering the countries of Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire), Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, to open a much-needed orphanage there. As long as we don't hear any Kaballah blah, blah, blah in the coming weeks, we're back on Team Madonna.
Madonna brought her tour to Rome tonight much to the displeasure of the Catholic Church, as always. The mock-crucifixion routine is her latest attempt to garner attention, and the desperation of it all makes us a little sad. We know you're edgy, Madonna. We remember the SEX book, the videos, we get it. The crown of thorns and the Kaballah blah-blah are silly. So please, enough already.
Hours after producer Dallas Austin told the court that he was guilty of smuggling cocaine but didn't know that he had it with him, the ruler of Dubai has given him a get out of jail free card. Austin was sentenced to four years in prison earlier today and Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum pardoned the producer who has worked with Michael Jackson, TLC and Madonna. We're wondering if Michael Jackson's announcement that he would be moving to Europe (probably Germany where he has tons of fans) and leaving The United Arab Emirates has anything to do with the decision. Either way, this guy is one lucky bastard.
Madonna is in town to kick off her tour this evening at the Garden where she will not allow for air conditioning as it adversely affects her voice. Her husband has taken to sleeping in a separate hotel room due to the a.c. issue which we're guessing will adversely affect her marriage, but we're just speculating. Hopefully she'll put on quite the show to make up for fans paying $300 a ticket to asphyxiate.
What is up with the hair, Brit? We know you can afford a proper dye job so let's get it together. We were sorry to hear that Madonna has cut you off, but we do respect her position. We also understand why Mel Gibson is selling his $24 million mansion in Malibu to get away from you, but you musn't take these things personally. Some people will give up on you when it seems you are beyond help but as long as you try and improve yourself, all will turn out just fine. One more thing - please, please, please start wearing proper attire. If not for yourself, then for the children.
Madge performed at the MTV Europe Video Awards and stuck to her purple disco theme. Holy toned lady.
Little Miss Eva Longoria was hit on the head with a pole during the filming of 'Desperate Housewives' and was treated at a Pasadena hospital. Also injured recently was Madonna who broke some ribs when she fell off a horse on her 47th birthday a couple of days ago, but we won't be paying any mind to her until she stops pretending to be British.
