Madonna is gearing up for her divorce with British director Guy Ritchie by accusing him of abuse, according to the tabloids. London's Daily Mail says that Ritchie told the Material Girl she "looked like a granny" and was "past it" when she turned 50. More rumors: She worked out so much that the couple didn't have sex for 18 months andwhen they did, Ritchie would tell friends it was like "cuddling up to a piece of gristle"; she was strict about the food in the household; and Madonna was thinking about "going public" with A-Rod after her world tour ends. A source said, "Alex is bewitched by her. she is a very intoxicating woman and it seems she has offered him a pathway to happiness and enlightenment through Kabbalah. He thinks she is phenomenal, but his friends aren't sure they have much in common."

Gristle. That's funny. I worked on a Madonna movie ten years ago and saw her up close and was shocked at how bad she looked. I can't imagine what an old hag she must be now. She is by far one of the best entertainers of all but fugly ugly.
Jen: I left Gothamist for a month-plus break because I couldn't stand any more of the ridiculous celebrity gossip. I came back when I thought it had cooled off. Now we're right back in this meaningless pap.
I realize there's a tenuous link here with A-Rod, but it's the first he's been mentioned in the past week's round of tabloid blather. Honestly, it would be nice to see far less of this trashy nonsense.
Celebrities' personal lives do not affect us. Bloomberg's bucking for a third term does. Desperation on Wall Street does. A fire in Bed-Stuy does. A parade in Coney Island does. Hell, even another piece of shit Candace Bushnell book does. But not another bad divorce by an annoying rich couple, or some actress having/adopting her sixth baby.
Over time, some advanced blog readers develop the remarkable ability to skip the articles that don't interest them, and read only the ones that do.
Maybe he was just sick of all those tanker trucks of vaginal moisturizer idling in the drive.
Just think of what the lawyers' fees for this divorce will end up being.
If this keeps up, I'll bet he has a bad season.
He's still good and male looking and she isn't.
That's why men often win divorces even if they don't.
I meant male and good looking
she's a boomin granny!
Poor (rich) Madonna... Man. Where does she get the idea that doing shows where she expresses adolescent libido and hormones is in her purview at this age? I mean, if she is really interested in what sexy is at her age she could use a bit of imagination and give her gen a boost. I mean WTF? People who are sexy at 50 are sexy by being sexy at 50, not by pretending they are 18. But frankly, I saw her at Danceteria when she was just starting out. Cute and all. But really, not that talented.
He's right. I saw this coming. She is trying too hard. Overcompensating. Look at the "Hung-Up" video.He is a gorgeous blond hottie and she's a hag.
I think it's pretty clear Madonna went off the rails in a big way 7 or 8 years ago, because no one can survive what 'celebrity' means at that leve. Madonna, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, OJ, etc., are all the result of what celebrity culture does to human beings. It makes you succumb to the vapors.
Sleeping in $1,000 USD of cream in a plastic suit? That's not a well adjusted person, and no one can withstand the pressures of being a celebrity for 20+ years without being a little bat-shit crazy.
I agree that this isn't 'news', but the repeated instances of celebrities losing it in the media help to illustrate how poisonous our culture is.
Those arms are massive
When's the last time she talked about her music? 1985?
Such a fcking poser it is sad -- she goes out of her way to do press about her marriage, her divorce, her adoption of kid, her affairs, her religion -- but I've never heard her talk about making a record, or figuring out a set list, or why she's working with a particular producer etc etc.
Which I get when your a 25 year-old bubblegum pop chick with some luck and drive, but fckin A, you're still doing this when you're 50 and you've not grown into some kind of artist/musician/arranger or composer? So what's the point? You still wanna show off your butt in panties? But, your, like, an ADULT for christs sake.
Madonna is a one hot dude.
She is so gross...that sweaty old crotch paradeing around on stage in pleather and fishnets... Just....gag.
She really can't sing, she definitly cannot act, she has major wardrobe malfunctions on a regular basis, yet people still fill venues to see her...so who is the fool?
