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!

    Maybe less time in the gym and working on her "inner spirit" and more time working out her marriage? Just a suggestion.

    I don't blame him…her phony British accent that she has adopted is annoying as hell!!! Madonna was the bomb back in the day, now she is kinda blah :P No matter how wealthy she is and despite her efforts to make herself young and fit…she probably behaved like a pretentious cunt and thought her shit didn't stink. Sorry Madge your shit stinks just like everyone else's does…and Guy just got tired of smelling it :D

    She is going to lose tons of money for sure because the case is in British court. British people are poor, of couse the British court is going to grand Guy Richie a lot of money so money will stay in Britain. In Britain, Madonna is the third richest person. What does that tell you. (The first one is Queen, second is A.K. Rowling, Harry Potter author)
    .
    British court will make sure Britain will import lots money States, Madonna's money and poperty.

    No shit it's true. You're the only lameass that's been trying to deny it Perez, just because you have some sick fetish for Madonna.

    If you see Madonna in interviews she is just such self absorbed person…if you are that into yourself, what point is there in being married anyway? Who could be happy with her?

    MADge married Guy because she did not want to be a single mom raising a unibrow bastard girl child.
    *
    Lourdes will give us LOTS of tabloid headlines in a few more years. Does she ever see her biological father? Now she is losing her stepfather. She will grow up to be a whore never finding lasting love.
    *
    Guy will get custody of Rocco. Rocco will rock the world and Guy will be so happy without MADge stealing the spotlight and cutting in on what he says.
    *
    Nobody cares about David. He will get his own life and care about his own family as soon as he can.
    *
    Madonna's roots are always showing

    They gave it a good go. Now they are splitting on hopefully good terms. That would be good for their kids. Too bad about that lack of a pre-nuptial agreement.

    After their divorce Madonna should come and live in Chicago. After the 2,000 foot tall Chicago Spire building is built she could move in. We will be needing a celebrity for that building and it might stick as a historical place associated with her.

    Chicago-car



  16. 216

    Yeah this BISH took a kid from another country only to have his new daddy taken away from him. She is old, tired and a has been.



  17. 217

    WHO CARES?
    Vadge is OLD
    UGLY
    with GAP-TEETH
    BAD ROOTS
    HORRIBLE SINGER
    plus for her personality:
    BITCHY
    HAGGY
    WHOREY
    WORTHLESS…
    who could stay married to this old hag for that long is beyond me? He deserves everything coming to him and then some! Take that bitch to the cleaners!

    For All You Nay Sayers:
    Neither wind, nor rain, gas prices, nor the economy can slow down the momentum of Madonna fans who are turning out in record numbers all over the globe to scoop up tickets for the upcoming "Sticky & Sweet" Tour. Today, Live Nation confirmed that Mexico City's Foro Sol Stadium shows scheduled for November 29th and 30th sold more than 100,000 tickets in just three hours, resulting in back to back sellouts at the famed stadium.
    Mexico City joins the growing list of sold out Madonna shows in Paris, Lisbon, New York, Zurich, Boston, Chicago, Denver, East Rutherford, NJ, Oakland, Las Vegas, Houston, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver all of which sold out within hours of going on sale.

    To date Madonna has sold out 90% of the tickets available for her 42-date global tour, which kicks off in Cardiff, Wales on August 23rd.

    Madonna, whose most recent CD 'Hard Candy' debuted at Number One in over 30 countries, has made it her personal mission to challenge herself to top her previous tours.

    "With 'Sticky & Sweet,' Madonna is on track to break her own record as the top grossing female artist of all time," said Arthur Fogel, Live Nation's of Chairman of Global Music and CEO of Global Touring. "Her sales are extraordinary in every market she's playing and illustrate what an unparalleled live draw Madonna is for music fans all over the world."

    i think your comment about Jamaica sucks is not great reason is i am gay and visits Jamaica twice last year and four times already this year and those people are great people. i think one of the thing with gays who leaves and seeks settlement else where lie to authorities so that they can get there sit together.

    those people are loving people i do think its full time they amend some of there stand on gays and lesbian. but they are great people.
    thanks

    How can she claim to be so enlightened and spiritual when she can't even stay freakin married? It isn't THAT hard people. She is a selfish bitch, he can do better. Someone that actually supports him and isn't up on a self imposed thrown. I guess Kabalasism condones divorce? Yeah, she is sooo enlightened…give me a break. THIS IS A FAILURE MADONNA! CAN YOU HANDLE THAT. YOU FAILED BITCH

    Say what you will about Madonna, but nobody can deny that she is a shrewd businesswoman. I find it very doubtful she would have married anyone without a pre-nup.

    OHHHHHHHHH boy the shit is goin DOWN !!!! He obviously screwed some hotty and she found out. Hopefully that will help in the settlement. If he's a scrub he will take her to the cleaners. If he is a real man, which part of me thinks he is, he will take whatever the settlement is and JET.

    Madge is one tough gal and really I don't think that there is any other man kike Guy out there that could stand up to her. Madonna should really think this one through b4 they decide a split is the best. They should also consider sending the kids off for a month and go do some back packing together through Vietnam and Thailand get spiritualy connected again - growing old makes woman do crazy things - stop the nonsene - see the Hogans.

    I still don't believe this at all! The reason Madonna has contacted a lawyer is because of the book her brother is trying to publish about her. Shes in New York because she is rehearsing for hertour and shes prepared to battle her brother in court over this book, not because of her marriage

    Seriously, is someone actually surprised by this? Surely it's sad for the kids and all but the signs have been there for ages. I don't think it's gonna get ugly, he doesn't seem like he's after her money. Maybe he can now get his talent back and start making some good films again.

    Well done Guy! You have finally seen what all of us can see (she is a lying hypocritical slut). I cant believe he stayed with her for so long she is vile. Now Guy can get a hot woman instead of wrinkly old nana with cat woman eyes.

    I love Madonna to bits and always have done. Yes, she's not always a very likeable person, but then who of us is? I'd so much rather her, than someone like Kylie Minogue who comes over all sweet and nice all the time, but has never done or said anything interesting in her life. Give me a tough chic like Madonna any day.
    As for the divorce, I have to say that my sense is that it is true. I think that Madonna needs to move. Didn't she say in her own song 'Jump' 'There's only so long I can spend in one place'? And it feels as if her and Guy have now reached the end of the road. She's set to leave her career-long record company too, so it does feel as if change is in the air for Queen Madge. And to be honest, I don't think anyone should worry. She always comes out trumps in the end, and it's a sure bet that she'll move on to something even bigger and better in the future.

    Where has Perez been? These two were toast before they got married. They even fight in public. Guy's father was telling the press about how often they fight and Guy was not gung-ho for adopting the kid from Africa. Now I do not believe there is no prenup. I do think it might be hard for it to be enforced in the UK though. These two are going to put Heather Mills and Paul McCartney to shame! BTW, Madonna consulted with Paul McCartney's solicitor (British name for lawyer) last April. This is old news in the UK. Madonna is moving back to NYC.

    Lean on Carlos. He's gorgeous, aging insanely well like YOU! Plus, you two still seem to have love between you. At least a friendship, coparenting responsibilities, and you know the sex is good. If it's true Madonna…sorry to hear it but the best revenge is living well and you owe it to yourself to bounce back quickly - don't mourn the past. Move onward and upward. I want to see you create a tabloid frenzy by dating someone or some ones right away!

    I've been a Madonna fan for as long as I can remember, but when I see her in those leotards, I feel embarrassed. She now looks like a drag queen, and the work she had done, (which she denies) makes her look older, not younger. I actually feel glad for Guy, I think he deserves a partner who will see him as an equal.

    Guy is a total gent and he put up with Madonna for the sake of the children. She is getting worse just like her music, looks and desperation to be adored. Wake up, old lady! Now she is using every single hot musician to help her with her boring music, whereas in the past she would not touch that. Next, she will chase younger guys until she will become a laughing stock!
