Losing His Religion

Filed under: Madonna > Love Line

guymadge.jpg

Guy Ritchie is done.

Butt Boy has turned in his red string bracelet!

The soon to be ex-Mr. Madonna has turned his back on Kabbalah, the mystical Jewish religion, 'insiders' report to the British media.

Friends say his recent revelation was one of the things that widened the gap between the pair:

“He has gone hot and cold on the religion in the past, but now he’s given up on it altogether. It has always been her thing and is more a part of her life than ever. He was genuinely into it and it helped the bond between them. But then he backtracked a little with his gestures of public backing, like wearing the bracelet, because he didn’t like being such a high-profile follower. He also became suspicious of all the Kabbalah crowd living off her money. But he always told Madonna he had kept his faith — until now. A few weeks ago he told her he doesn’t want anything else to do with it. It didn’t go down well.”

Poor Guy.

'God' is tough to compete with!

    FIRST OF ALL, I AM SURPRISED THEY LASTED THAT LONG. MADONA IS A MAJOR BITCH AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. GOOD THING THIS POOR GUY IS FREEING HIMSELF FROM THIS DAMN CRAZY WOMAN. SHE IS A FUCKING MORON AND I CAN'T STAND HER SHITEOUS MUSIC. BARFFFFFFFF.
    ON A BRIGHTER NOTE, GO TO YOU TUBE AND CHECK OUT CHRIS CROCKER'S VIDEOS, HE IS FUNNY AS HELL AND DOESN'T KISS THIS BITCH'S ASS LIKE SOMEONE WE ALL KNOW.

    HANDS IN THE AIR IF YOU HATE MADONAAA!!! NOW PUT THEM BACK ON THE KEYBOARD AND EXPRESS YOUR DISLIKE FOR THIS FUCKING BITCH. SERIOUSLY, SHE JUST BOUGHT THAT BABY CUZ SHE WANTS TO BE LIKE JOLIE. IT WAS HER NEW WAY OF REINVENTING HERSELF. IF THAT BITCH REALLY WANTED TO DO GOOD SHE WOULD DO ONE (OR IDEALLY MORE THAN ONE) OF THE FOLLOWING
    a) DONATE TONS OF MONEY
    b) NOT MAKE PUBLIC HER ADOPTION
    c) STOP MAKING "MUSIC"
    d) (THIS IS THE BEST OPTION) DIE.

    Good for Guy….I love M, but i am not into the WHOLE Kabbalah thing..and the bracelet is ridiculous. She never takes it off…it is in every photo shoot. It's like enough.

    I think Guy will be fine, he will be set for life, if they actually do divorce.

    Isn't this bitch Madona a little too old to be brain washed by religion?? Bitch needs to quit being such a fucking moron and grow a fucking brain. Her so called music sucks big time by the way.

    lol, pitox is a fucking moron. madonna is building a school there, and she didn't make her adoption public. no one EVEN KNEW she was planning to adopt until she got the baby, and then there were rumours abound for weeks before it was confirmed she did adopt. DUMB FUCK

    I LOVE MADONNA!
    I'm not so much about the Kabbalah thing (my roomie wears a red string just coz Madge does and I think it's soooooooo tacky) so I don't blame Guy for ditching that shiz, but knowing how much she does love it, that couldn't have gone over well..
    She should just get divorced, move back to the USA and keep touring until she's 80 and still fab!

  31. 31

    Well HORRAAYYY for Guy, sorry Madonna is DONE! He prolly got sick of ppl laughing at him with that PATHETIC peice of thread around his wrist. That religion is a damn joke, She's a BITCH

    SHE'S FOLLOWING A RELIGION TO PUT $$$ IN RABBI'S PICKETS. YOU DONT HAVE TO DEAL WITH SUCH SHITE.

    KHABBALAH IS A TREND.. IF YOURE TOO STUPID TO SEE WHATS ITS REALLY BECOME YOURE A SLAVE TO THIS SHIT

    I don't know if Kabbalah had anything to do with, they yet unconfirmed divorce. Madonna has stated in the past that it wouldn't matter to her if Guy wasn't into it. She didn't marry him b/c of that, and I don't think she would be so narrow minded to divorce him b/c of it either. I hope they work things out b/c, being 50 who wants to be on the lame dating market again. Lets face it, after this it will only be boyfriends for her. No successful decent professional young man will want to be with her for a long term relationship. From now on, if they don't work things out, it will be boy toy, boy toy, boy toy…and quite frankly, who wants to live that life? at this point, you want to be settled with your lifemate, your soul mate.

    As much as I disrespect Madonna Ciccone's "talent" I'm kinda feeling sorry for the hag. Her husband dumps her, her brother betrays her, She's turning 50 in a youth obsessed world.

    Oh well- she's got her millions to comfort her. But Guy will take loads of them!!!!!

    What took him so long????Any "religion" that requires that you pay huge amounts of money to accelerate your salvation is suspect. Most true mystics discount the manner by which Kabbalah is being taught at these Kabbalah Centers - this version isn't all that different from the way Scientology operates. And don't forget that the school Madge is building will be part of her efforts to establish Kabbalah in Malawai. I wouldn't feel sorry for Guy - sounds like he's the sane one here.

    Jews would NOT call Kabbalah a religion. It is a part of Judaism that people hijacked. A couple of crazy Rabbi's living in L.A. have now confused EVERYONE.

    Guy Ritchie might be gay b/c he sure as hell married someone who looks like a man. I love it when stupid people put God in quotations b/c they want to believe in something that involves mystical shit like Kabbalah or aliens and outer space like Scientology. Celebrities need to keep their mouths shut when it comes to making political statements b/c not even half of them went to college or barely graduated high school and if not for the careers they chose then they would be working at Walmart living in trailors or homeless. WHO DO YOU THINK PUT YOU IN THAT CAREER, IT SURE AS HELL WASNT A UNICORN OR SOME BS MYSTICAL KABBALAH STORY AND IT SURE AS HELL WASNT SOME ALIEN OR SPACE MAN YOU IDIOTIC CELEBRITIES. L. RON HUBBARD DIDNT GIVE YOU THAT TALENT!!

    Madonna is a total whack job cunt and contrary to popular belief she is not a smart person. She figured out that when she took her clothes off or said controversial things she had an audience that she could make money from. Nice. Try holding on to a man Madonna. You had 11 abortions and three children with 3 different fathers. You tricked the Malawi government into thinking you had a happy home for David BandAID and then you get divorced. You are not a good person and your PR slut Lizard Rosentwat is nothing but a paid liar for you. Madonna do you even have any friends? For real? Even your brother has turned against you. You seem like a real fucking gem!
    You music sucks too for the last 20 years.

  57. 57

    Madonna is such a phony! She wants everyone to think that she is such a "do gooder" and then she prances around in a $60K mink dress (YUCK…wearing dead animals is disgusting). Then she adopts that baby and makes that documentary about the poor people in Africa…and then she is always french kissing female celebs to get more press! ENOUGH ALREADY! ***ALL MADONNA IS INTERESTED IN IS MONEY $$$$$*** SHE IS SO FULL OF HERSELF!!!! When she wants to sell her children's books…then she is the "Holy Mother"…when she goes on tour…then she mocks the Catholic religion…GO AWAY MADONNA!!!!

    guy is saved! from a controlling religion and a controlling woman! while I can't deny her remarkable talent, i think she's a self-absorbed hypocrite - the time she was promoting a children's book/trying to seem like mom-of-the year/then kissed britney-n-christina on public tv at the same time ~then~ only to later try to put the owness for that on THEM … doesn't say much for her character!

    Guy run as fast as you can. Madonna is a fake human being. She is nothing. She is not talented. She hooked up with powerful people that got her to make money for them. She is not the real thing. She doesn't even sing live. I love how she tells people how to live when she can't even hold a family together. Everyone that knows her knows she is an ugly freak. She is not really even human. More like a monster that needs a red tampon string to convince herself she should have feelings. Run Guy run!!!!!!

How can you even say that? Do you even know that you are demented? Tell us why there is cancer and dawn syndrome and autism. Maybe Mariah Carey Fans Are all Ghetto and Crazy and Stupid but Madonna Fans don't go around saying that. MADONNA IS THE BEST!

    It's not you baby, it's your religion. Does anyone really believe that this is the reason for their split? Sounds like a very polite carefully prepared public statement. Could Kabbalah have played a part? OK… But he stayed with her longer than most people would have predicted. Imagine what a pain in the ass she must be to live with. So Now- Will she drop the British accent and come home?
