Madonna Pays Up

Madonna and ex-hubby Guy Ritchie have reached a divorce settlement in which Ritchie will receive an amount between $76 million and $92 million. This includes the value of their country home in Ashcombe in western England as well as Punchbowl, their London pub. The singing star cited Ritchie's "unreasonable behavior" as the cause. The two were recently granted a preliminary "quickie divorce."

Guy Ritchie: single and twice as rich

Seems like Madonna and Guy Ritchie have come to an agreement on how to split her money in their divorce; because less face it: she was the bread-winner. He was worth $50 Million while the Material Girl is worth 10 times that amount.

So the estranged husband will receive $60 Million, their London manor and their London pub as a farewell gift.

Someone close to the movie director declared: �Guy is his own man with his own money. He�s much too proud to start going after Madonna�s millions. He doesn�t want to get into a tug-of-war. He loves the children and would never jeopardize his relationship with them.�

He�s actually more than two times richer than he was now that she�s leaving him, so why stir steam up? There�s some good coming out of all this after all, at least for Guy!

The Material Girl And The Director Are No More

Perhaps you saw it coming but it's finally official- Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie have confirmed they are divorcing after seven and a half years of marriage.

Earlier this summer, when rumors were rampant about Madonna's involvement with the New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez and word had it she'd hired Paul McCartney's divorce lawyer, Madonna dismissed any claims of unhappiness.

"My husband and I are not planning on getting a divorce," she said.

Her Guy Is Back

Madonna's life has been drama-filled the past few weeks, but not to worry, the Queen of Pop and her hubby Guy Ritchie put the divorce rumors to rest, at least for now, when they stepped out together for dinner in NYC.

As for her her so-called affair partner in crime, the Yankees' third basemen A-Rod (who has reportedly been visiting her apartment during late hours of the night, as well as giving her his seats for his home games and studying Kabbalah) has split with his wife, who is said to be in Paris with rocker Lenny Kravitz, but of course just as friends. And the solution to all of this, all three, Kravitz, Madonna and A-Rod, share the same manager.

Phew, that was a mouthful.
