    Who cares what this old ho does. They should have put her out to pasture years ago.

    I don't think Ritchie is really a total match for Madonna. He seems sort of inflexible just from his body language. However, Madonna herself must wear thin... it is all about her and her children, and Ritchie fit the completed picture as the husband and father. It was all about HER in 1985, and people don't really change that much.

    Enough already! I'm sick of hearing about Madonna. No one seems to care what will happen to the kids.

    "Health-wise, should Madonna be going thru all that before going on tour ? Or maybe she's going to turn things around,and use all the controversy about a divorce to her benefit,and make lots more money,and come-out even more on top without phasing her own health too much somehow ! Fed-up enough to get a divorce ! Fed-up enough to succeed again !"

    Just because she is Madonna the press is making a huge issue about it. I know that they both have their careers and it is not like Guy is so perfect himself. Madonna should keep her money.

    "The point , is that Madonna's business deals,career,tours,and other things probably conflict with the her relationship with her hubby,her family,& loved ones in the U.S.,and probably puts a big strain on them all ! Things obviously cannot always go well under them conditions ! What kind of superman can put-up with it for an extended period of time ?"

    Unbelievable. She is one of the most intelligent people in the music industry, and she had no pre-nup? Wow!

    "If it is true, Madonna will prevail in the end, i think ! She always seems to prevail in whatever her endeavors are . She's usually been lucky that way,but perhaps not in everything,and no-one knows that better than herself, & people like Pharrel Williams,etc ! I don't know,or do I ?"
