Madonna and Guy to divorce

[Mindgames]

Just in case anyone thought BB was a tabloid-free zone...

A joint statement will be issued later today confirming Madge and her increasingly-more-famous husband will end their 8-year marriage. Not a bad run for celebs these days, and hardly unexpected, but still a shame.

That's really sad. There is so much pressure on celeb marriages. I think they are both really cool and that's a real shame.

I love Madonna but I couldn't care less about her personal life. Sure it sucks they're getting divorced ( if that's even true) but hell, people get divorced all the time. It means nothing anymore.

I like a good number of Madonna tracks but her divorce is definitely in the "who cares" pile. Was she married to Sean Penn or just bumping booty bits? Didn't he tie her up or lock her in the house on a new years eve and then go out? Hehe. I really must study up on women's magazines a lot more before commenting on anything this crucial again.

Sucks.

do you think Guy Ritchie is more famous than Madonna? hard to measure fame but i would have said Madonna was one of the most famous people ever.

i know who madonna is, but who is this guy she was married to?

[Bondage Clown]

Maybe I can get with her now. Me and my troupe of midgets... that would be a gas.

I'm pretty sure the article means he's getting increasingly more famous; as in, more famous than he was at a previous time.

Burning up. Together they are worth maybe $.5 billion but Madonna is richer which is why she would want to get the divorce in NY not London where the courts favour the poorer party. No pre-nup. This all according to the women's mags I read before commenting again.

Who Give's A Flying Fuck About It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

women's mags I read

Ok I didn't read them - I channelled them

[Mr Karl]

he probably realized he could do better

[Mindgames]

Indeed - when they first got together he was universally known as "Mr Madonna" or "Guy Who?". Now most people know him from his movies. Seeing her 'supporting' him at the premieres was teeth-grating - you could so tell she intended to bitchslap him for daring to be popular when they got home.

There's no settlement yet but I'll guarantee there will be. Macca pretty much proved the "I'll see you in court, beeatch" method is the worst idea since Nero's violin teacher told him he needed to practice more..

meh, I've never cared for maddona or been a fan. the only thing I respect about her is her bussiness skill. other than that, I detest that woman, and I don't give a flying crap about her divorce. I do however feel sorry for her kids because of it though.

I dunno, I must say I like some of her music. Only artist that makes it both on my playlist and on current pop radio. Recent stuff is upbeat, optimistic, go-live-up-to-your-personal-potential-and-don't-let-anyone-tell-you-you-can't stuff, and I like that theme.

Plus, she makes a politcal effort for progressive causes, albeit rather mainstream ones. I respect any of that more than the ability to make a lot of money, tbh.
