But what does Madonna think about the bank bailout?
Volatile stock markets. Plunging home prices. Rising unemployment. Yet what are the British papers full of today?
News of a split between America’s Material Girl and British director Guy Ritchie. According to various reports, Madonna, 50, and her husband are seeking a pre-Christmas divorce because they “can’t bear to live with the pretense any longer.”
Britain’s Sun newspaper claims that the couple will announce their split within a few days. The two married seven years ago at an extravagant ceremony in Scotland. The couple have spent most of their married life in London, sharing a $14 million home with their children - Lourdes, 12, Rocco, seven, and David, two. Madonna adopted David from a Malawian orphanage in 2006, and was granted permanent custody of the little boy only last month. Lourdes is the singer’s daughter by Carlos Leon, her former fitness instructor.
Rumors have been circulating within the press for months that the marriage had become a rocky one with reports that the two had started communicating via their personal assistants.
Ritchie will apparently move out of the couple’s London home and move into the Wiltshire, England mansion also owned by the pair.
The Sun said that Madonna had soured on the idea of English life, deciding she didn’t really like hunting and going for pints of beer with her hubby at the local pub.
Exciting stuff.
