The highlights of last night's Golden Globes ceremony were not Kate Winslet's double win or the triumph of HBO's John Adams miniseries or that Jeremy Piven didn't win again for Entourage. The multiple wins for Slumdog Millionaire—and shout-outs to Mumbai—were sweet, as was Steven Spielberg's plea for not only making movies for the mainstream (also, Martin Scorsese gets so emotional!), but let's face it, the British comedians took the cake for the best moments. more ›

It doesn't take much detective work to find out that the cast and crew of Sherlock Holmes have landed in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The film stars Robert Downey Jr., Rachel McAdams, and Jude Law, and they're all readying for their close-ups at the Marcy Avenue Armory at 355 Marcy Avenue, according to Filming in Brooklyn who notes the location is the same "where the interiors of Neville’s house were shot for I Am Legend." The NY Post even has some photographic evidence of the two male leads, and report back that "the Hollywood heavyweights were dressed in 19th-century period wear yesterday...Law sporting a distinguished mustache." The movie, which is actually set in London, is being directed by Guy Ritchie, but at least he's got the Williamsburg Bridge to separate him from his ex and A-Rod. more ›

The British newspaper the Evening Standard reports that Madonna and Guy Ritchie have reached an agreement in their divorce proceedings. The couple will share custody of sons Rocco and David (they had apparently been arguing over whether the kids would be raised in New York or London). And Ritchie is not getting any of Madonna's estimated $450 million fortune, which he could have attempted since they did not have a pre-nup. A source said, "It will be all over by the end of the month. I am sure it will be announced by then. The priority for him has always been the children. Ritchie has not wanted her money." Madonna was out on the town last night, at the Gucci UNICEF dinner; she looked happy (picture), perhaps because rumored boyfriend A-Rod snubbed Kate Hudson in Miami. more ›

What is a nasty celebrity divorce without weeping? In the realm of the Madonna-Guy Ritchie divorce, Us Magazine says that Ritchie was "crying over" seeing photos of 8-year-old son Rocco in a Yankees t-shirt. Because a Yankees t-shirt signifies slugger Alex Rodriguez, one of Madonna's many rumored current paramours. Of course, it doesn't help that there are more rumors about A-Rod buying real estate closer to Madonna's Central Park West triplex, reportedly scoping out an $80 million four-bedroom apartment at 15 Central Park West. Anyway, Us Magazine has other crazy details about the divorce, like how Madonna would say, "I should have married someone like me: strong, hot-blooded, intelligent, ambitious, spiritual," and "Guy called her old, fat, ugly and wrinkled and said that she was stupid and couldn't sing." more ›

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." more ›

Or 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." more ›

After months--if not years--of rumors, British tabloid The Sun claims Madonna and Guy Ritchie are getting divorced. Apparently the couple will release a statement about the split because they "can’t bear to live with the pretence any longer." The source says, "Madonna wanted a highly stage-managed separation, with their split being announced when it when it was convenient for her" -- she's currently on tour-- but apparently the fighting has been too bad for that! The Sun suggests that Madonna has "rekindled a close relationship" with Carlos Leon, who fathered daughter Lourdes, but our question is whether the Material Girl's next stop is A-Rod. more ›

There are some photographs a really skinny-looking Madonna leaving the Kabbalah Centre in Midtown. The Daily News calls her a "funereal girl...gone from glamorous to cadaverous" while British tabloid The Sun thinks she looks plain odd, wondering if a vacuum sucked "out most of her face." The Material Girl is turning 50 next month, and the Sun also reported that she and Guy Ritchie will renew their vows in England around that time. Her Sticky & Sweet Tour starts August 23 in Cardiff, Wales--she'll make her way to North America with five shows at Giants Stadium and Madison Square Garden in October. more ›

Cynthia Rodriguez filed for divorce from Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez today in Miami. According to the papers, she claims A-Rod "emotionally abandoned" her and that the marriage is "irretrievably broken" due to his "extra-marital affairs and other marital misconduct." She is looking for primary custody of their two daughters, child support to "maintain the existing lifestyle of the children," and their $12 million home in Coral Gables, Florida, plus paying attorney's fees. Notably, she is also seeking "equitable distribution" of assets acquired during their marriage--how much of A-Rod's $275 million Yankees contract that includes will be up to the lawyers. more ›

Cynthia Rodriguez might be the most suffering Yankee baseball wife these days (well, this side of Debbie Clemens). According to the Daily News, C-Rod told her friends Madonna is "using Kabbalah to brainwash Yankee star Alex Rodriguez into believing they are 'soulmates'." more ›

After reports that both Madonna and Guy Ritchie have spoken to divorce lawyers, the Post now says Ritchie will be in NYC this weekend to try to save their marriage. Madonna has been rehearsing for her upcoming tour, and a source says, "It is make or break time for Guy and Madonna...they are both trying to rescue the situation....M has shown a willingness to patch things up [and] he has now decided to fly out there this weekend to try to sort things out." The couple have three children--two sons plus Madonna's daughter from another relationship. more ›

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? more ›
