Guy Ritchie and Madonna during their good times

Guy Ritchie spills it out after long. The Hollywood director says that he is still in love with his “retarded” wife.

In an interview with the Esquire magazine’s upcoming issue Ritchie confessed about his emotional weakness towards his ex-wife, Madonna. All of it was not really complimentary though. “I still love her…but she’s retarded too“, said the famed director.

He also added Praising about the diva, “Put Madonna up against any 23 year old, she’ll outwork them, outdance them, outperform them. The woman is broad“.

The couple were having severe problem for a long time and finally called it an end after remaining married for 8 years. Ritchie and Madonna opted for a divorce in last December. The couple shares the custody of their two sons – nine year old Rocco, who is their biological son and four year old David Banda whom the couple adopted.

Ritchie, who directed popular films like Rock N Rolla and Snatch, said he was deeply hurt by the divorce. “You can’t tell someone when they’re getting divorced that their pain is an illusion. I’m f***ing telling you, I feel it. I’ve been through that… No one can say you don’t feel that“, said the 41 year old British director.

While performing in a concert in Boston in 2008, Madonna addressed to the crowd and said, “This song is for the emotionally retarded. Maybe you know some people who fall in that category. I know I do“.

Sherlock Holmes, an upcoming remake film of Ritchie, is all set to hit the screens soon with Robert Downey, Jr. in the title role.

Amy Winehouse

According to latest reports, the Rehab singer, Amy Winehouse, wants to settle in St Lucia. She wants to call the Caribbean her new home after having spend much time in the sunny shores of the picturesque island.

The singer, whose life has been close to a roller coaster ride, has reportedly spent  a 71 day Christmas holiday simply taking rest with no work in the Caribbean.

But the singer was more keen to get back to  St Lucia again and  swapped London for the island for yet another prolonged vacation.

“Amy is fed up with all the stress and trauma that comes with being in London. She has made so many friends in St Lucia and says it feels like home. When she returned to the UK in March she felt like a total outsider”, a source close to Winehouse said to The Sun.

in every probability it seems that the singer intends to live a peaceful life away from the limelight in a lavish new home situated on the beautiful Caribbean shores.

The source  also added, “She has her heart set on one house in particular. It is massive, right on the beach and has its own big garden, too”.

Mel Gibson

Another Hollywood marriage is in doldrums. Yes. And  this time it is one of the longest marriages in Hollywood; that of Mel Gibson and his wife Robyn Gibson.

After 28 years of marriage and 7 children, Robyn has filed for a divorce. In the court papers,¨irreconcilable differences¨ with husband Mel Gibson who has a fortune that was estimated to be $900 million in 2006.  Robyn has requested joint physical and legal custody of the couple´s youngest son, Tom, who is their only minor child.

After a line of divorces (Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Harrison Ford and Melissa Mathison Ford), Mel Gibson´s marriage was one of the oldest movie-star marriages still standing. Poor Mel, now he too falls in the line.

Britney Spears

Getting her personal and professional life back on track costed Britney Spears legal fees amounting to $2.7 million. Of that, $417,000 was the price she had to pay to divorce Kevin Federline, and win over the custody of their children. The pop star had been married to Kevin for two-and-a-half years.

The legal costs were shown in papers filed by attorneys who were appointed by Britney’s father Jamie Spears to settle matters with Kevin in court. Fees given to the lawyers alone totaled $1 million. Lawyer Geraldine Wyle wrote “Since the initiation of the conservatorship, as a result of the concerted efforts of Mr. Spears as well as the professionals involved, all aspects of Ms. Spears’s life have been stabilized and continue to improve.” Now that the legal matters are over and Kevin is out of her life, Britney’s life and mental health is improving noticeably. She has got her children back; she is on the ‘Circus‘ tour; she is out of her troubled marriage. Price well paid!

Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse’s estranged husband Blake Fielder Civil was released from Suffolk’s Edmunds Hill prison. Blake’s release news was not made known to Amy which reportedly hurt the British singer. According to close sources Amy will be flying from St.Lucia as soon as possible and try and meet Blake. The reason for Amy’s new interest in Blake is yet to be known. However Blake was met by his mother when he came out of the prison.

Amy Winhouse had a extended stay at St.Lucia island resort but the news of Blake’s release reached her and she was said to be desperate to meet him. A friend of Amy told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Hearing Blake was out brought lots of emotions back for Amy. She feels like she was the last to know he was getting released and that hurt. She is desperate to see him again and wants to work things out. She still loves him.”

Amy is trying hard to get back to her husband. Whereas Blake has maintained that he would like to continue with the divorce procedure.  Blake while coming out of prison said : “It’s all going ahead – but I don’t really know what will happen. It’s just nice to be out. Now I am going to get over my drug habit.”

Blake was reportedly hurt and angered at Amy’s growing antics. He grew sick and tired of Amy’s alleged affairs and hook up news. Blake had loved Amy and even vowed to get back Amy at any cost. This was of course some time ago. But the present state of affairs draw light to Amy’s newer horizons and Blake is no more interested to go on with his slightly skewed wife’s antics.

A spokesperson for Amy admitted the singer is unsure if she can win back her husband, saying: “I don’t know if Blake will change his plans.” Amy was pictured in with other men while she holidayed in the Caribbean. Blake had started off with the divorce proceeding in January. Since then Blake has changed his status on website Facebook to single, while Amy updated her profile picture to one of them together yesterday.

Amy who was in St.Lucia to fight her growing drug problems has worried off her friends who believe that Amy’s London return could prove to be full of problems. Another source said : “We are nervous about her returning to London. She thinks the fights and problems with Blake are romantic in a tortured love kind of way. We think it’s a bit sad – and very dangerous.”

The divorce would mean Amy paying Blake up to £2 million of her estimated £10 million fortune.

A great deal to end up a troubled marriage. Blake Fielder-Civil’s divorce with Amy would atlast bring some hope for the jailbird husband of Amy Winehouse. Amy is offering a hefty amount to get rid of Blake from her life. Blake was rumoured to create trouble in Amy’s life. Blake was hated and warned by common friends to stay away from Amy because most of them thought Blake to be a money churner. Blake had even threatened Amy to disclose their secrets when they were together.

Amy Winehouse is allegedly offering her jailed husband Blake Fielder-Civil a $3.7 million (C2£2.5 million) for a divorce settlement. Fielder-Civil’s (jailed for causing actual bodily harm and perverting the course of justice) lawyers filed papers last month in a bid to bring the couple’s 20-month marriage to an end.

Amy’s present move was said to be sparked by reports linking Winehouse to former rugby player Joshua Bowman during her current sunshine break in the Caribbean. Winehouse originally said she wanted one last attempt to save her marriage. Amy allegedly changed her mind after Fielder-Civil was reported to be seeking half her $22 million (C2£15 million) fortune by claiming he is the inspiration behind her music.

A source(read friend) Winehouse tells British newspaper The Mail on Sunday, “She wanted to come home but it was too cold. She will instruct lawyers through arranged phone conversations. She wants to settle for half of what she hasearned during their time together, around C2£2.5 million”.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker had earlier hinted on a possible divorce she would likely decide on with actor husband Matthew Broderick. Sarah’s shock although surrounds a somewhat difficult territory – wealth. Sarah is said to be terrified about her divorce which she feels will leave her penniless.

The ‘Sex and the City’ actress’s 11-year marriage to actor Matthew Broderick is reportedly on the brink of drying up. Allegations started building up in Sarah’s marriage. It was alleged that Matthew had cheated on her for a 25-year-old beauty.

Sarah is said to be playing it safe and in a sound manner. She does not want to lose her hard earned money after all. Sarah is quite likely giving her relationship a second phase or a rethink time, all because she doesn’t want to lose the multi-million pound fortune she has accumulated in her entire career.

A source told Look magazine: “Sarah’s family were poor when she was a child. She had seven brothers and sisters and she’s often talked about missing out on birthday presents when she was young. It seems she’s freaking out over the thought that Matthew could walk away with an enormous sum of money.”

Sarah who is a highly acclaimed Hollywood hottie for her smash hit role in Sex and the City does not want to part with any kind of monetary things with her husband. There were  recent reports which suggested that the couple having a six-year-old son James Wilkie together are living apart. Sarah and Matthew are reportedly leading separate lives for some time now.

They put a united front over the festive period for the sake of James, but their Christmas truce has reportedly brought further cracks in their relationship.

Another source added: “They spent the holidays pretending to be happy for James.”

Sarah, 43, is reported to have earned a staggering £110 million during her career. Her earnings have far outweighed Matthew’s during their union. Her fee for the upcoming sequel to ‘Sex and the City: The Movie’ is expected to be around £35 million. Quite obviously Sarah would not be willing to part with anything earned by her and that too for a cheating husband in a 11-year marriage !

Madonna

Madonna has paid her ex-husband British director Guy Ritchie up to 60 million pounds ($92 million). The payment is as per their divorce settlement payout. The divorce after eight years of marriage was a pricey one confirmed by Madonna’s spokeswoman on Monday.

The couple’s estimated wealth is $525 million of which most accounts to Madonna. The couple’s final divorce settlement was granted by a British court on November 21. Liz Rosenberg has confirmed that Madonna, 50 had paid Ritchie, 40, between 50 and 60 million pounds ($76 million and $92 million) as part of their divorce. The English country estate, Ashcombe, alone costs about 20 million pounds ($30 million). Madonna’s total payout sum includes the cost of their estate. The tedious fight for custody is yet to be settled. Rosenberg has said that the arrangements for Guy and Madonna’s children has not been done.

Madonna has an estimated album sales of more than 200 million. She has been the reigning success as a singer. Her divorce with Guy Ritchie was announced in October, nearly eight years after their fairytale wedding at Skibo Castle in Scotland.

The multimillion pound (dollar) settlement is calculated to be much more than the high profile payout by former Beatle Paul McCartney to his ex-wife Heather Mills. Guy’s representative has not made any comments and when asked to do so simply declined to expand.

The biggest contested divorce settlement in English history was the 48 million pounds (about $90 million at the time) insurance tycoon John Charman was ordered to pay his ex-wife in 2006. Liz Rosenberg, the spokeswoman for Madonna also said that the couple’s west London pub, the Punchbowl would also remain with Ritchie. Britishers have stated that Madonna has come out with such a massive divorce payout simply because she has no intention to stay in England. U.K.-based entertainment lawyer Ambi Sitham said : “She’s relocating and moving back to New York. It’s money she’s already paid out — what is she going to do, try to sell the houses in a flagging market?”

Liz Rosenberg finally said, “I’d assume it’s one of the largest payouts ever in a divorce settlement…”
