It's True!

Filed under: Madonna > Anglophilia

mg__opt.jpg

We refused to believe the rumors, but there's no denying it at this point.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie ARE getting a divorce!

The pair have been dogged by heightened speculation of a split for months, and now….

The Times of London, a very reputable newspaper - not a tabloid, is confirming that Madonna has indeed hired Paul McCartney's lawyer, Fiona Shackleton, to represent her in the divorce.

And, they also say that Guy has lawyered up too - a lesser-known Mayfair law firm, Forsters.

Yesterday Madonna’s spokesman refused to comment on the claims. But, one lawyer told The Times that the word in legal circles was that Madonna had gone to Ms. Shackleton after making an approach to another firm.

Madge and Guy have been living separate lives lately. The two have rarely been photographed together and, in fact, he's in London now while she's in NYC.

The pair are said to have NO prenup, so this divorce could get quite ugly!

    Re: lisa – my thoughts exactly!!!! you know its BS if they knew their relationship was in the crapper why drag little david into it? why adopt him, its not really fair to him now is it? making his life unpredictable and unstable like that, hmmmmm well id say he is still better off than where he was i suppose however im just saying, not fair~ i never thought she was a terrific role model to begin with although i do like her, she is not the kind of person id want around my babies.

    Thanks for the dirt, Perez.

    I am LOVING THIS !!

    I know you love Madonna, but I hate the bitch. The reason? She is a hypocrite. She made her money by whoring herself out on MTV, etc.
    yet won't allow her children to watch TV or anything because it might
    corrupt them!!
    I HOPE AND PRAY THAT GUY RITCHIE GETS EVERYTHING ! Sean Penn couldn't deal with her ego. Guy Ritchie deserves a Nobel peace prize for
    hanging in there as long as he did.
    WHY DOESN'T MADONNA WAX LORDES EYEBROWS ! Madonna bleaches
    her hair a stupid color and looks like a whore but doesn't help her own daughter look human.

    who would marry madonna? seriously i have never seen someone so cold. she wears the pants cuz she makes the money and has the fame, and he was supposed to follow around like a lapdog, but he refused, good for him and now his set to take a lot of the money she made by neglecting him! LOL sucks for her!

  16. Mimi says – reply to this


    116

    If my husband and I divorced, it would get ugly because we would have to fight for the LITTLE we have.

    When rich people get divorced, it gets GREEDY!

    Don't they both have money? He was very wealthy too before Madonna!

    Maybe now she'll start speaking English with an American accent again.

    All of this lawyer speculation could still possibly be about the tell all book that her brother is putting out. There is no actuual confirmation that Guy has visited or retained a lawyer. Only that Madonna supposedly has. The book is said to be filled with many bombshells. Some true and some false and written out of bitterness when Madonna financially cut her brother off after he would not seek help for his drug addtiction.

    guy doesn't seem like a golddigger at all, but he doesn't have her kind of cash so he could end up getting spousal support and not have to pay too much child support. at least not for lola. and if it gets nasty, he probably has way too much dirt on her for her to try to stiff him. so she will have to pay up for sure. hahahahaha.

    This woman used this Guy (just like she uses everybody),; she wanted to play the English Lady (she is no lady), but she played it. She doesn't take care for her kids, she has people doing most of the work.

    She's had people creating for her. The 4 minute song should've been: Timbaland featuring Madonna and boy Tim.

    I admire strong women, not this one.

    WHY THE EFF WOULD MADONNA NOT HAVE A PRENUP?!?!

  43. Emma says – reply to this


    143

    re prenups in the UK. They are not legally binding but few judges rule against them. If a pre-nup is signed, then in a divorce it is taken as the default position. And no, Madonna did not sign a pre-nup - I remember this from when they initially got married - and I thought it was stupid of her then.

She always HATED england!! she had to move there because she married and marriage is about compromises. she loves New York! And how do you know she doesnt take care of her kids? Oh wait, youre one of those either angie fans who think shes a saint or a mariah fan who feels the need to put madonna down whenever a post is being made of her! You're SAD. And it says so much more about you than about Madonna. Fuck you!

We as readers agree that you should settle down with someone outside of the business and with his reputation as a great gyno he can keep your box in order and let other people worry about your box office. Although he was linked to Natalie Portman and Tamara Mellon in the past most people on this site have been assured that it was only for sex.Please contact him through Perez Hilton site so we can get this over with.Also most people that sumitted comments think that you'd have great children.

    Well, what can you expect from an ugly person like Vadge? I just hope her husband gets custody of at least one kid, so she doesn't ruin them all. The daughter already seems to be a major attention whore, like her mother. It's just sad, that people like her get that kind of a success, without talent, without anything to back her up, just greed and ruthless ambition.

    165

    I hate to say it, but the lyrics on her new album really gave this all away.
    .
    She kept singing about how they're best miles away from each other, and how she didn't want the relationship to end cuz she's missing her best friend and she wants things to be "incredible" between them again.
    .
    Generally, everything she does artistically revolves around herself, so I had found it hard to believe she wasn't writing about her own relationship.

    Madonna's an ugly old whore anyway, i hope Guy R. takes her used up dry ass stretched out loose vagina & ugly Kaballah lovin'ass to the cleaners. bout time men got paid in divorces and not always the gold digging bitches taking us to the cleaners.

  73. Lilla says – reply to this


    173

    Hey, this news really saddens me. I still hope to God that it isn't true. It was finally nice to see Madonna happy with the man she loved. She said she didn't want to get married only to get divorced again, and took marriage seriously. So, hopefully this isn't true. They both seemed like a decent couple. Whatever their differences, if any, I hope they work them out. Because, really at this point in life do they really want to be out in the dating world again? There really isn't anything better out there. Also I don't know if the rumors are true, but it would seem highly unlikely that Madonna would enter the union w/out a pre-nup. Being savvy and careful as she is. Man I hope this isn't true!



  74. 174

    the poor kids!
    and they've only just got baby david - do you think they denied rumours for so long so that they could officially adopt him?

    177

    I'm happy Guy is getting out. He was a reputable Director with a promising career until he met her. She made him put her in his 'movies', he directed a BMW ad with her in it, etc. Why can't she be satisfied being a great singer/performer? She's always wanted to act (which she can't) and direct, but why? You didn't see Guy trying to become a pop singer - she should have left well enough alone and let his career be HIS and not use it as a way to benefit her.

  78. Lilla says – reply to this


    178

    Also, just to add to the last comment. IF any of this is true, how could Madonna be busy preparing for a tour with all that is involved from rehearsals and travel, amid all this "divorce" stuff. Most people would be crushed and wouldn't want to "dance and sing,get up and do their thing". how could she focus like that if the divorce rumors are true? no matter who you are, that is humanely impossible. and don't say she is not a human!

  79. HJ says – reply to this


    179

    I'm not sure I care. Are they together anymore anyway? They might as well make the divorce official. They're never with one another, I'm not really as shocked as Perez, but maybe he's in Madonna's pocket. I feel bad for the kids, but I'm sure Madonna and Guy will work out visitation. She still rolls with Lourdes' dad.

    She probably went to the other firm first to create a conflict for them representing Guy. If they gave her a consultation, then they can't represent him. Sneaky tactic to prevent certain firms from taking the opposition's case. Just speculating though.

    Good. Now poor Guy can breathe again. It must have been hell for him living with a Type A personality like Madonna. Men want wifes who will support them mentally, offer them affection, look up to them, and yes…depend on them for certain things, not everything. Madonna is too independent, has her own career, her own money, etc., she doesn't have time to nurture any man's ego, she's too busy living her life. Guy will be fine without Madonna. He will probably fare better. I bet he'll drop that extra 20 lbs. of Madonna weight, find him a nice woman who isn't in the entertainment industry, and start to smile again. Divorce is always sad, especially when there are children involved, but sometimes people who care for one another can't live together and be happy no matter how much they might work at it. I think it is best for them to go their separate ways if they are miserable…and he looks miserable.

    I hope little David Banda isn't blamed for this.

    Ritchie's dad is such a gossip, I suppose he'll be spilling the beans soon enough. Guy has the chance to resuscitate his career. Hope it isn't too late.

    Somewhere, Elton John is smiling.

    I can't gloat over this. Her brother's tell-all book will drop next month and the two are estranged already, and now this. It's a sad time for her, and all on the eve of her big 5-0.

    Oh god, this is going to the EVENT OF THE SEASON!!!

    No way Madonna doesn't have a pre-nub.

    This woman knows where every cent she's ever made has gone.

    They actually made a really nice couple. Both of them always seemed down to Earth, and you never saw Madonna trying to get the paparazzi to take pictures of her, or her children.

    Too bad. :(

    Perez, you can't even believe other sources and expect us to believe your own. WELL, I'M GLAD RITCHIE NO LONGER HAS TO SUFFER FROM MADGE'S WRINKLED GREY HAIRED STRAP-ON NO LONGER. SEND HER TO AFRICA, WHERE HER LAME ASS BELONGS (WITH A BUNCH OF AIDS VICTIMS).
