Madonna Shows Brotherly Love

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Divorce, Kind Acts, Rumors

Madonna with brother Christopher CicconeMadonna is making moves to reconcile with her brother.

The “Miles Away” singer fell out with Christopher Ciconne over a tell-all book he wrote about the star, which alleged her then husband Guy Ritchie was a homophobe and blamed him for the breakdown of his relationship with his sister.

Madonna was outraged with the publication of Life With My Sister Madonna last year, but is now making steps toward speaking with her brother again—and has sent him tentative emails.

“Madonna did it more for her family than for herself. Her feud with Chris was creating huge tension within the family so she decided to be the bigger person. At one point Madonna wanted all the family to cut off Chris, but her father wasn’t willing. It’s been a nightmare ever since. She’s calmed down about the book and had time to think. She realizes blood is thicker than water and has said she will meet with him this year in LA,” a source told Britain’s Sunday Mirror.

The alternatives for divorce are “adultery, a five-year separation or for one partner to have deserted the other for at least two years.”

Although Guy could have walked away with a substantial portion of his ex’s fortune, the director has reportedly decided to settle for their estate in Wiltshire and a pub they own in the Mayfair area.

Madonna Tell-All: Do You Care?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Rumors

Madonna

’s plan was “to rule the world,” when she spoke to Dick Clark on American Bandstand. The then-80s singer was decked out in her black lace best and still singing songs like “Borderline” at the time. How were we to know she would become one of the world’s biggest stars, winning accolades in not just the music industry but movies as well? Irreverent and irrepressible, Madonna quickly became the queen of pop.

It was only a matter of time before somebody released a tell-all book detailing her exploits. I just thought it would be .

Alex Rodriguez and Wife Reportedly Split

Alex Rodriguez and Cynthia RodriguezWell, you know what they way—misery does love company.

Today, media attention has slightly shifted away from the Madonna/Guy Ritchie saga and moved on to another troubled couple: Alex and Cynthia Rodriguez. A-Rod recently became the focus of unflattering spotlight when tabloids suggested he was having an affair with the singer.

Although Madonna’s rep denies there is anything more than a friendship between the two, it seems the gossip was more than the baseball player’s wife could handle. According to the New York Daily News, it appears Rodriguez’s five-year marriage may now be over.

In ‘s defense, this is not the first time the Yankee has embarrassed his wife in public. Last year, Alex was photographed going into a strip club with a dancer. And while Cynthia apparently chose to forgive her husband (she did temporarily move out of their home), things have supposedly been rocky between the two for several months now. Sadly, the couple just welcomed their second daughter, Ella, back in April.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Divorce, Rumors

Guy Ritchie and MadonnaDespite talk of missing bands and affairs with baseball players, Madonna’s publicist insists the singer’s marriage is not in trouble.

In an exclusive statement to People, Liz Rosenberg said, “Madonna’s husband Guy arrived in New York last night to be with his wife and family (not in a last ditch attempt to save his marriage which does not need saving). There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce.”

This denial comes after a few days worth of heated gossip. Just this past weekend, and Guy Ritchie were seen attending separate kabbalah centers in different countries. Then there were the shots of the ringless fingers. (Older pictures have since proven that the two are known to not wear them.)

Madonna’s Marriage Nearing the End

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Divorce, Rumors

Madonna and Guy RitchieAfter nearly 8 years of marriage, it’s really starting to look like things are over between and Guy Ritchie.

Sources say the two have simply fallen out of love and have been living separate lives for some time now. According to one report, Guy has even distanced himself from kabbalah, the set of teachings the singer has been closely associated with.

Although the couple have been dogged by rumors for years, Ritchie’s absence from his wife’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in March helped fuel speculation. Now there’s word that Madonna, 49, has hired the same lawyer who helped guide Paul McCartney through his high-profile divorce proceedings.

While Guy, 39, could be entitled to nearly 1/2 of the singer’s estimated $600 million fortune, friends of the director claim its unlikely we’ll be seeing the two in court. According to one source, it’s “not his style to start profiteering from such sorry circumstances.”

As one would expect, the British journalists have latched onto this story and are continuously churning out new tidbits. Stay tuned for the developments.
