Madonna Talks to Divorce Lawyer

The Times of London reports the Material Girl has spoken to a divorce lawyer fueling speculation the superstar is ready to dump husband Guy Ritchie. The lawyer, Fiona Shackleton, represented Prince Charles and Paul McCartney in their divorces. Notably, McCartney only gave up about $40-50 million in his divorce settlement, from his $1 billion fortune; Madonna's worth is estimated to be around $600 million--and she may not have a pre-nup. Now, will Madonna come back to borin' ol' NYC full-time? And more importantly, will she drop the British accent?

It's obviously a pre-emptive divorce. She doesn't need the bad publicity of a still-attractive, still-talented younger spouse dumping her aged cougar ass in favor of a passed out "Shoreditch twat" with bad skin and a Morrissey album collection.

How and when did she pick up the name Madge? That doesn't sound Italian. Is it a Jewish name?

Oh good god. This is too headache inducing to think about or care about.

Between posts like this, john de le signor or whatever and jen carlson I think I am hitting my gossip critical limit.

Hooray! perhaps Guy Ritchie can start making good movies again...
Well, one thing that would work in favor of good movies is that he won't have to cast Madonna anymore.

I read somewhere today that she does not have a pre-nup. I feel sorry for any guy married to her. She's probably a demanding, perfectionist, nit-picky, critical, self-important, humorless hag. I also feel sorry for Ashton Kutcher.

Wow, I'd be shocked if Madonna didn't have a pre-nup.

I don't wanna hear about what the rich are doing
I don't wanna go to where the rich are going
They think they're so clever, they think they're so right
But the truth is only known by guttersnipes

Boy does she look beat up. Her body is in shape but her face "Madon!"

Maybe her soon to be ex will begin to direct good movies like he did before he married that gap toothed diva with a fake British accent.

I guess its because of Gothamist's speculation that she might move back to New York after dumping Guy.

We don't need that hag back here anyway. Perhaps it was the teachings from her studies of Kabbalah-lite that showed her the error of her ways.
