The Sun UK reports today that Madonna is telling friends that her 8 year marriage to Guy Ritchie was little more than a sham, and all he cares about now is getting as much as he can from her half-a-billion dollar fortune. He has told reporters he doesn’t want a dime of her money, but she claims that is far from the truth.
Queen of Pop Madonna, who famously follows the mystical Jewish religion Kabbalah, told a friend: “I’m totally devastated that Guy’s turned out to be such a gold-digger.
“I thought we’d been on a spiritual journey together for the past ten years — but obviously I was wrong. He’s just after my money.
“I’ve worked my ass off for the last 30 years to get what I have, and now this gold-digger wants to take it from me.
“Kabbalah philosophy teaches that you don’t take what you haven’t earned. Well that’s exactly what Guy is doing. He hasn’t earned a penny of it, yet wants to take, take, take.
“He keeps upping his demands — he just wants more, and more, and more from me. It’s unbelievable.”
This sounds really bad but I don’t like Madonna so fuck her. I hope she looses every dime, I hope she falls off another horse and I hope that stupid African kid steals her soul and traps it in some kind of magical rock.
As you might expect from a cool young director worth 60 million dollars in the middle of a divorce from his hagged old shrew wife, Guy Ritchie is doing great. People magazine says…
"[The divorce] is news to you and everyone else, but for Guy this has been a long time coming," the friend adds. "I think he's sort of relieved that it's all out there. He doesn't have to fake it anymore."
As Madonna, 50, was back on stage in Boston, Ritchie, 40, spent Wednesday filming his movie Sherlock Holmes outside London.
Ritchie is "very excited about his film, and he's focused on that and getting on with it," says the pal. "For him, everything is really the same as before, only with more photographers. Yesterday was insane."
It's hard not to notice that Guy was great until he met Madonna and then all his movies suddenly sucked. That’s not coincidence. Imagine you lived in an old English mansion and this pasty white creature was floating around the creaky hallways. You try living like that, see how creative you are.

Official got officialer moments ago when reps for Madonna and Guy Ritchie issued a joint statement confirming their divorce (full size here). They request privacy during this difficult time, as you might expect from Madonna, who has always lived her life with a quiet dignity.
The Sun UK is reporting exclusively that, after eight years of marriage, Madonna and Guy Ritchie are set to divorce, and their announcement will be made official very soon, perhaps before the end of the week. The divorce is expected to be finalized in as little as two weeks, by Christmas at the latest
A highly-placed source told The Sun: “It’s very sad. They were a great couple and brilliant parents. They just couldn’t live together any more.”
“Despite huge attempts to patch things up they both knew deep down that divorce was on the cards.
The source said: “Lately Guy has been putting his foot down about a lot of stuff.
“He is sick of his career taking a backseat to hers and was determined to spend as long as he had to promoting RocknRolla here, even if it meant being away from Madonna rehearsing in the US.”
They went on: “When Madonna first moved to the UK, she loved the idea of becoming an English rose. But slowly it turned sour. She decided she hated hunting and quickly dropped her ‘hobby’ of going for a pint of bitter with Guy in the local pub.
“She doesn’t have many friends here and as she has turned 50 she has become very philosophical and started wondering what it’s all about.”
I think most people would admit they’re surprised these two even made it this long. They’re so different. He’s 40, she’s 50. He has a cool British accent, she sounds Irish for some reason. He wants to stay home and raise the kids; she wants to tour the world. He’s cool and talented; she’s an insufferable cunt. Their love was just not meant to be.
UPDATE - TMZ says Madonnas publicist has just made the announcement and it is official, Madonna and Ritchie are seeking a divorce.
After months and even years of speculation that her marriage to Guy Ritchie was in trouble, the Times of London says that Madonna has spoken to a divorce lawyer, the same one that just repped Paul McCartney in his divorce from Heather Mills.
Madonna, whose fortune is estimated to be worth 600 million dollars, is understood to be seeking legal advice on a possible divorce from her husband of seven years, the film director Guy Ritchie.
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. Guy Ritchie is thought to have had dealings with a lesser-known Mayfair law firm, Forsters.
There has been speculation for some time over the marriage of Madonna, 49, and Ritchie, 39. It is thought that the couple did not have a prenuptial agreement, which means that the starting point for any settlement would be a 50-50 split.
Good. Guy Ritchie has always been too cool for Madonna anyway. He should get 300 million just for getting near that diseased womb of hers. The only thing I’d fuck her with is a bottle of antibiotics.
