Madonna and Guy Ritchie may finalize their divorce tomorrow, according to the Sun. Maybe I’m jaded but I actually consider this to be pretty quick for a divorce proceeding, especially considering the amount of money involved. However the Sun insists that money wasn’t the big holdup – the main sticking point was over the custody of Madge and Guy’s sons Rocco and David. They’ve agreed to split custody, and the boys will bounce back and forth between New York and London.
MADONNA and GUY RITCHIE will divorce tomorrow, according to papers lodged with the High Court.
It is expected she will keep the bulk of her £300million fortune, despite the British director being entitled to up to half of it.
The stumbling block for the couple up to now was custody of their two boys – eight-year-old Rocco and adopted three-year-old son David.
However a newspaper reports that they have agreed to share guardianship. The lads will split their time between the UK and US, where Madonna now lives.
She will have sole custody of her daughter Lourdes, from a previous relationship. It is believed that full details of any financial settlement will be kept confidential. A source said: “The priority for Guy has always been the children – he has not wanted her money.”

I wonder how they’re going to actually split custody. If it’s literally a 50/50 situation that would require the boys to leave school partway through the term each year, and that could be severely disruptive. It sounds like Madonna and Guy have agreed on a deal that’s fair to them, but not necessarily fair to their sons. Hopefully they’ll figure out a way to keep some continuity in the boys’ educations.
The Daily Mail claims that Ritchie refused to “take a penny of the pop star’s cash.” If that’s accurate – and it’s the Daily Mail, so grain of salt and all that – it really speaks a lot to his character and his motivations. Madonna’s people have tried to paint Guy as a money hungry bore who was waited on hand and foot by staff and blew through Madge’s cash. None of their allegations were really believable, and this shows Guy wasn’t with Madonna for the money. Now if someone could explain to me why he was with her, that’d be great.
Header of Madonna at the Gucci/Unicef event last night. Clearly she’s trying to get attention. Or doing a terrible, terrible job of blending in with camouflage.

When I first saw the headline, I thought, “Hmmm, her face doesn’t look too bad.” But then I opened it up and Dear Lord in Heaven, WHAT is that outfit?! There is not one saving grace about any part of it.

I hear that Devilgirl – it’s also vaguely Flintstones.
I think it’s obvious who the bigger person is in all this, while it’s been evident to many all along. Ritchie is a real gentleman and she’ll be kicking herself down the road, or as soon as things cool with A-Rod.

LOL, I’d love to hear that explanation, too! I’ve always wondered how those 2 hooked up! But hey, at least it lasted a little longer than the Penn marriage.

WHEN is she going to realize she is fifty freaking years old and no longer cute (if she ever was)? And even cute can’t get away with that costume. What’s that all about, anyway?

I was hoping she would “re-invent” herself into something attractive. But I guess not.

GristleAstroturfOscarSodEmuHooker??? WTF? Anyone got a lawnmower? She has re-envented herself into a big ugly green bird. Does she not realize Halloween was last month? Woman really needs to tone down the make-up, maybe none of the harsh stuff. I really don’t like this woman. Can you tell?

Wait.. aren’t PETA going to throw something at her for the senseless murder of 2 strips of turf for this creation? Someone SHOULD throw something at her just because…
It’s. Frickin’. Shiteous.
(At least it outshines her new, weird chipmunk cheekbones)

The kids lose for sure in this one. There are just too many kids out there caught between two existences because Mom and Dad couldn’t live together, or in the same town, or even the same time zone. It sucks to be a powerless kid. But I’m sure Madonna will have plenty of team jerseys stocked in the boys’ dresser drawers so they can wear them when out with their new “Uncle Alex”.

WHY THE HELL IS SHE WEARING HER DINNER?

I have never bought a record, CD or anything else related to Gristleturf. When 1 of her songs came on radio, I did enjoy hearing it, but, just wld. not put any money in her nasty pocket. Just the sound of her voice wld. make it hard for Guy to just TUNE HER OUT. A shame, she has so much money, and a new little fellow (David) in her household besides her two other young children and she shld. just embrace this time and stay home with them. She needs the public swooning over her to feel complete. Spirituality my a**. She insisted on adopting that little boy and I ask for what reason? I hope at least when the kids are w/ Guy, he can care for them and love them as HE sees fit and not her list of bullsh*t. Also, I hope Lourdes continues to see him, as it appears as if they have really bonded. I don’t think Guy was ever after her money. She is disgusting.

Her makeup looks as if it has been done by a mortician! And the outfit – I won’t even go there.
