Madonna's divorce


The real hot news come as no real surprise to those people who have followed the turbulent marriage of these two volatile individuals who fell deeply in love but who came from different backgrounds

She, the celebrity ex-sex wild girl turned into a hot diva and he the English original gentleman and creative director of gangster films with a passion for country pursuits.

Now it seems Madonna, 49, one of the richest women in the music business, has had enough of the constant yap yap "about everything" with Guy, who is ten years hotter than her.

She has complained that he often treats her(the diva) with cold indifference in public, drinks ‘way too much for his own good’ and spends little time with her and their three children – adopted son David Banda, who is now two, 11-year-old Lourdes, Madonna’s daughter by a dancer Carlos Leon, and their own son Rocco, seven.
