So… The latest news about Madonna that I suppose is actually worth reading is that her split with Guy Ritchie is for real and headed for a possibly bitter divorce. Though we’re still not sure if an external relationship with a rod [A-Rod] had anything to do with this — OK, that was cheesy. Sorry!
Apparently Guy has turned down a settlement offer from Madge of $20 million Euros. In an earlier report it was said that Guy didn’t want anything exorbitant from his wife, only their London and Wiltshire estates worth about $25 million Euros. In addition to the money issues they’re also fighting over custody of their son, Rocco. Guy wants him to remain in London with him and Madge wants their son to live in New York with her.
This whole thing is just stupid and on second thought it’s really not worth discussing. So, why I am I writing it? That’s a good question! I don’t really have an answer except that I’ve always been a fan of Madonna. I probably always will be even though at times I question myself as to why.
The solution to this really not-so-messy [yet] split is really simple. Madonna is loaded with $$$. Madge, please!!! Give in for once and give him the money. I mean really, all this over a measly $5 million Euros! What is she doing? Is this woman seriously trying to punish her husband for the global financial meltdown and housing value plunge? Of course, the solution offered here is assuming the financials of the settlement arguments are even true.
What does seem to hold the weight of truth by nothing more than common sense is the custody arguments. Again, a simple solution. I’m sure Guy’s a good guy so why not agree to let little Rocco stay in London with his daddy. It’s not like Madge won’t have him for long summer vacations. It’s not like she won’t already have her hands full with her own daughter and what will now be two adopted children. If Rocco stays with Madonna he’ll probably be thrown in the nanny pot with the rest of his siblings. With this one, I’m on Guy’s side.
With all celebrity divorces the media looks for anything and everything to sling more mud on an already dirty experience for those personally involved. Inter the marriage contract. It’s now being reported that Madge and Guy sought counseling to help their marriage a couple of years ago. Supposedly this counseling resulted in a marriage contract the couple had to abide by in order to save their marriage.
The contract:
• How many dates the couple should go on.
• Guy must work to enrich his wife’s emotional and spiritual well-being.
• Guy must set aside time to read Kabbalah texts with his wife.
• Guy must resolve conflicts in a constructive way.
• Guy must never shout at his wife, but instead state calmly: “I understand that my actions have upset you, please work with me to resolve this.”
• We both must devote time to our sexual expressiveness.
• How often we should have sex.
• We must not use sex as a stick to beat one another.
It’s also reported that Madge tacked the contract to the wall in her home and whenever Guy broke the rules she would shout, “Contract, Guy, contract!”
I had to laugh at this. I don’t doubt a contract exists. It’s actually pretty common in marriage counseling these days. However, what the media is reporting seems to be bit one-sided which is very unlikely the result of true marriage counseling. In fact, I’d be shocked if their weren’t quite a few Madonna don’ts in there too. It’s true, Madge is a control freak, she’s said it herself time and time again. We’re talking about a document that was a result of professional marriage counseling. With the contract terms the media is reporting, I can only say… Whatever!
That doesn’t mean that I don’t find it amusing especially the “sex as a stick” line. That just opens up so many possibilities. Or, is it lack of possibilities? hmmm…. Not according to the 2007 photo of Madonna and Guy carrying their new toy [a purple strap-on penetrator] for all to see back in 2007. Of course that could have just been a media stunt – Madonna’s like that.
Whatever the case, it’s looking like Madonna wants to take all her toys with her leaving Guy empty handed. Shame…
You might Lika these posts:
“Whatever the case, it’s looking like Madonna wants to take all her toys with her leaving Guy empty handed.”
Shouldn’t that be:
“Whatever the case, it’s looking like Madonna wants to take all her toys with her leaving Gut with an empty hole.”
I think Guy Ritchie is pissed because Madge doesn’t want him for her bitch boy anymore.
Funny, but let’s be nice. We don’t know if that toy was meant for Guy on the receiving end. Maybe she feels hubby doesn’t measure up. Size matters… No?
Who cares about their divorce. They will work it out. Neither of them are hurting for money so no matter what happens it’s just gossip juice for the press. Funny that she’s on tour and he’s got a new movie out. All this just time for a nasty D-I-V-O-R-C-E
They are probably still best friends and just milking the press.

LOL – good stuff! You guys are harsh… I’m starting to feel bad for the Guy.
