Madonna Slams Guy Ritchie in Concert

2008_10_madge2.jpgOr at least we can guess was taking shots at her estranged husband: The NY Post reports that at her Sticky & Sweet tour concert in Boston the other night, she prefaced her song "Miles Away" by saying, "This song is for the emotionally retarded. Maybe you know some people who fall into that category. God knows I do." A source also says that there were tensions over the Material Girl's Kabbalah faith, "Guy's initial support and interest in kabbalah turned to annoyance and hatred. Guy doesn't believe kabbalah is on par with Christianity." British tabloid The Sun suggests their marriage started to crumble a few years ago when Madonna fell off a horse and Ritchie responded by saying, "Come on darling, you’re a tough bird. You’ll be back on the horse in no time."

Perhaps he was tired of banging a withered, crazy subway tunnel.
There's lots of fresh meat on that casting couch.

Yawn... Why is she still relevant? WHY?

He should have trampled her when he had the chance and blamed it on a crazed horse.

What's Joe the Plumber's stand on this? America wants to know.

Never found her very sexy. Fake libido. Now she's a touch grotesque. Maybe she should push further in that direction. Could be interesting.

Madonna could be making a universal reference to the "emotionally retarded". Let's face it, she know how to pick 'em! Some guys are very stoic and undemonstrative (Madonna's type, and a challenge for her to try to change). Others are somewhat hostile and abusive, choosing to through an actual punch now and then (also Madonna's type)! Says a lot about her own emotional maturity, doesn't it? ; )

This is actually a scripted line. She said it on the first night of her concert at the IZOD Center a couple of weeks ago. I should know. I wen...Uh, I, um...someone told me about it while we were ripping pictures of hers up...

It's interesting how she is wearing gloves, albeit cut off gloves, but gloves none the less. A woman can do a lot of things with exercise and makeup and whatever they can to try to stay young looking, but the final word is,"You have the hands of an old person." And she does, because she is old, not real old but a lot older than she thinks she is. Actually she's shot. She has a hard body for an old bitch but there is no form to it. It's stretched out buzzard feeding frenzy muscle on old bones.

Guy Ritchie should have been more patient: sooner or later, she's gonna have a huge menopausal hot flash that will cook her brains and he could have had all the loot. Instead, the money's going to some Kabbalah Centre and all he gets is a numbered copy of her early nineties book "Sex". What a dumbfuck.

The comments here are WAY more indicative of the sexism women face, as opposed to the sexism claimed by Sarah Pallin, who is rightly being criticized for her policies and for being underqualified. That is not sexist. Yes she's also been called a "MILF", but in 10 years she'll probably be called "withered," "old hag," "old bitch," etc., and subject to an in-depth critique of her hands like Madonna. (By a random guy who spends way much time commenting on every post on Gothamist.)

I have no argument in terms of Madonna's constant attention-whoring, and general weirdness, but she's a human being, just like all of us. She has a family and is getting divorced. Her husband reacted in a cold, detached way when she fell off a house and broke four ribs and multiple other bones. But everyone thinks it's fine to sit here critiquing something like her hands.

Guess what? We all age together in the same time continuum and someday we'll all be old.

You know what I think of Guy Ritchie? Whiny wanker, macho bravado, (probably sexually repressed - so English). Very boring/bland looking in general. And not crazy about the balding and deep forehead wrinkles on a guy of 40!

But it's wierd to say that, right? Cause no one holds men to stringent physical standards and it's not the norm to slam men in a sexist way, right?

Most women do not go around at Madonna's age thinking they are twenty years old. I have no problem looking at Sophia Loren, who has quite a few years on Madonna, and is way more sexy because she wears her age very well and is not embarrassed by her age, unlike Chickeroni.

I agree, Sofia Loren is amazing and yes, a timeless beauty. I'm not sure if Madonna actually thinks she's twenty. She's doing what she knows and being who she has always been. Whomever that may be... If you like that or not, she's @ least consistent.

I'll agree with her being consistent. She has consistently been a self centered individual who has been trying to reinvent what trash is and can be. A classy broad to say the least, all low class. Her egocentric world will fall apart in about five years. She made her money as Michael Jackson and Britney Spears and others of the fleeting show world have and will just fade away. A female Elvis Presley she ain't, nor a male or female version of Marilyn Monroe.
