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.

Madonna and Jesus Luz

Madonna, the 51 year old diva, has finally decided to tie knots with her 22 year old boyfriend, Jesus Luz. J. Randy Taraborrelli, biographer of Madonna, has recently revealed that the twice divorced singer wants to settle down with Luz sometime soon.

“Madonna is crazy about Jesus. (She) has been telling close friends and family that `I could definitely see myself marrying him. Yes, it`s definitely on the table”, said Taraborrelli in a recent interview.

Taraborrelli also added that Luz, who is a model from Brazil, is deeply in love and also wants to marry Madonna.

“He respects her, that`s number one. He has learned so much from her. He`s amazed at how well-rounded she is, the way she juggles her career with her life as a mother, for instance. He understands that she`s self-involved, too”, said a source close to Madonna to Taraborrelli. The source also mentioned that it is not only admiration that is turning the two towards marriage. “Of course, the sex between them is scorching hot” mentioned the source.

Luis Heitor Pinto da Luz, father of Jesus Luz, releaved earlier this May that the couple were already planning a Kabbalah ceremony as per the mystical Jewish faith followed by Madonna. Madonna announced her divorce with British film director Guy Ritchie in Octorber 2008. They were married for almost 8 years.

Madonna

With a tearful tribute the the late king of pop, Michael Jackson, Madonna made the MTV’s Video Music Awards memorable for all. Dressed in a black zippered jacket and skirt, she walked on the darkened stage and said, “Michael Jackson was born in August, 1958. so was I. Michael Jackson grew up in the suburbs of the Midwest. So did I. Michael Jackson had eight brothers and sisters. So do I. When Michael Jackson was 6 he became a superstar and was perhaps the world’s most beloved child. When I was 6 my mother died. I think he got the shorter end of the stick.

“I never had a mother, but he never had a childhood. And when you never get to have something, you become obsessed by it. I spent my childhood searching for my mother figures; sometimes I was successful. But how do you recreate your childhood when you are under the magnifying glass of the world for your entire life?

“There is no question that Michael Jackson was one of the greatest talents the world has ever known. … That when he sang a song at the ripe old age of 8, he could make you feel like an experienced adult was squeezing your heart with his words. … That the way he moved had the elegance of Fred Astaire and packed the punch of Muhammad Ali. … That his music had an extra layer of inexplicable magic that didn’t just make you want to dance but actually made you believe that you could fly, dare to dream, be anything that you wanted to be. Because that is what heroes do. And Michael Jackson was a hero.

“He performed in soccer stadiums around the world, he sold hundreds of millions of records, he dined with prime ministers and presidents. Girls fell in love with him, boys fell in love with him, everyone wanted to dance like him, he seemed otherworldly, but he was also a human being. Like most performers, he was shy and plagued with insecurities.

“I can’t say we were great friends, but in 1991 I decided I wanted to get to know him better. I asked him out to dinner: I said, ‘My treat, I’ll drive, just you and me.’ He agreed and showed up to my house without any bodyguards. We drove to the restaurant in my car. It was dark out, but he was still wearing sunglasses. I said, ‘Michael, I feel like I’m talking to a limousine, do you think you could take off those glasses so I could see your eyes?’ He paused for a moment, then he tossed the glasses out the window, looked at me with a wink and a smile and said, ‘Can you see me now, is that better?’

Michael Jackson

“In that moment, I could see both his vulnerability and his charm. The rest of the dinner, I was hell-bent on getting him to eat French fries, drink wine, have dessert and say bad words, things he never seemed to allow himself to do. Later, we went back to my house to watch a movie and we sat on the couch like two kids, and somewhere in the middle of the film, his hand snuck over and held mine. It felt like he was looking for a friend more than a romance and I was happy to oblige him. And in that moment he didn’t feel like a superstar, he felt like a human being. We went out a few more times together and then for one reason or another we fell out of touch. Then, the witch hunt began and it seemed like one negative story after the other was coming out about Michael. I felt his pain. I know what it’s like to walk down the street and feel like the whole world has turned against you. I know what it’s like to feel helpless and unable to defend yourself because the roar of the lynch mob is so loud that you are convinced your voice can never be heard.

“But I had a childhood, and I was allowed to make mistakes and find my own way in the world without the glare of the spotlight. When I first heard that Michael had died I was in London, days away from the opening of my tour. Michael was going to perform in the same venue as me a week later. All I could think about in that moment was that I had abandoned him. That we had abandoned him. That we had allowed this magnificent creature that once set the world on fire to somehow slip through the cracks. While he was trying to build a family and rebuild his career, we were all busy passing judgment. Most of us had turned our backs on him.

“In a desperate attempt to hold onto his memory, I went on the Internet to watch old clips of him dancing and singing on TV and onstage and I thought, ‘My God, he was so unique, so original, so rare. And there will never be anyone like him again.’ He was a king. But he was also a human being and alas, we are all human beings and sometimes we have to lose things before we can truly appreciate them. I want to end this on a positive note and say that my sons, age 9 and 4, are obsessed with Michael Jackson. There’s a whole lot of crotch-grabbing and moonwalking going on in my house, and it seems like a whole new generation of kids has discovered his genius and are bringing him to life again. I hope that wherever Michael is now, he is smiling about this.

“Yes, yes Michael Jackson was a human being, but dammit, he was a king. Long live the king.”

Madonna and Jesus Luz

Madonna, the pop diva, has been denied to adopt a child from Malawi following her split with her husband Guy Ritchie and two relationships and break-ups. But the 50 year old pop queen is making sure that the youngster she failed to adopt is well taken care of and looked after. Madonna has even left a nanny to take good care of Mercy James in Malawi.

Mercy is now living in Kondanai Children’s Home, where Madonna along with her other children and ex-boyfriend, Jesus Luz had visited recently. The singer wanted to mother the 3 year old child from Malawi but her petition has been denied for the time being by a court in the capital Lilongwe earlier this month. Failed to adopt Mercy, Madonna had to leave the country alone with a heavy heart.

Madonna will be appealing against the adoption denial and has made sure that every help and care is extended to the child who is currently in Kondanai Children’s Home. “As Mercy’s legal guardian, I authorize where she goes. She is staying with Madonna’s people as a visitor. There is nothing wrong with that“, said the orphanage director Anne Chikhwaza.

A reliable source reported to the Britain’s Daily Mirror, “During her farewell party at the lodge, Madonna instructed a nurse and a nanny to remain behind and care for Mercy while her lawyers appeal“. Madonna’s appeal to allow her to adopt the child will be heard in an African court on 4 May.

Madonna, who had a split with the 21 year old model, Jesus Luz, was spotted leaving in the same car after having dinner together at Morandi restaurant in Manhattan. Although Madonna was photographed climbing into the same car with Luz, yet she was spotted walking out of the restaurant hand in hand with a female friend.

Madonna with Malawian son David

It will not be before Friday this week when Madonna will hear whether she can adopt her second child from Malawi. The 50-year old pop star was in the African country to know about the judge’s decision about her adoption application. She appeared in court Monday (March 30), in Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi. However, her adoption plans have to wait. A judge declared that the ruling on the matter will be held till Friday. The child Madonna wants to adopt is a 4-year old girl whose unmarried mother had died soon after her birth. Last year, she had adopted her 3-year-old son David from an orphanage in Malawi.

Criticisms have made the matter a sensitive issue. Children’s advocacy groups have held Madonna guilty of using her wealth to make the adoption possible and rush it. According to Malawian law, it is necessary for a foreign adopter to live in the country with the child for more than a year before adoption. The judge, however, has the discretion to let Madonna have the child immediately. UK charity group Save the Children have said Madonna is sending a wrong message through the second adoption, and that it encourages impoverished parents “to abandon children in the hope that they will have a better life.”

Some of the Malawians support the adoption. An onlooker outside the court on Monday stated “We are blessed for what Madonna is doing here,” adding “That baby is going to have the advantages of going to school and of becoming someone. Here it is very difficult.” One of the poorest nations in the world, Malawi has 14% of its adults  infected withthe virus that causes AIDS.

Madonna first visited Malawi in 2006 for charity work, and for her documentary “I Am Because We Are,” a film on poverty and AIDS in Malawi. She also helps run Raising Malawi, a non-profit group which helps the poor people of Malawi. If the adoption takes place, then Madonna will be a single mother of four.

Madonna with David Banda

She may be trying to work for some social cause, but the pop diva’s lifestyle is creating all the trouble for her. Her hookups with A-Rod and Jesus Luz may get in the way of her plans to adopt another child from Africa.

The officials related to adoption in Malawi have already declared that Madonna’s raging love affair with the 22 year old  Jesus Luz and Yankee baseball player Alex Rodriguez may simply ruin her plans of adopting Mercy James, a 3 year old kid, from there.

“Our official policy is that we do not encourage our children to be sent into broken homes. [Madonna's] relationships may negatively affect the adoption of Mercy“, claimed a senior official from Malawi’s Ministry of Women and Child Welfare Development. She also noting her much talked about split from hubby Guy Ritchie, which may also cause a refusal. The official also added, “The news she is linked to another woman’s husband and a young man less than half her age makes us question her morals“.

Simon Chisale, Malawi’s child welfare chief have marked in a recent interview that there are certain things like morality and ethics that play an important role in adoption process. The Malawi adoption officials are not very pleased with the way the 50 year old pop diva flashed her relationship with Luz in the recent time. Madonna has earlier in 2006 adopted David Banda from the same country.

“We do not only look at the material issues, but also the moral standing of prospective adoptive parents, because we do not want our children’s morals to be corrupted”,  Chisale remarked.

Jesus Luz and Madonna

According to reliable sources, Jesus Luz and Madonna have called it an end. The most talked about romance of the century may have just finally run it’s course. Madonna is through with the relationship and does not want to continue.

Nobody knows the reason yet. Some are saying that may be the pop diva is planning to adopt another child. A close source mentioned that Madonna is jealous of younger women hitting on Luz and hence she decided to call off the relationship.
“She was drawn to Jesus. But it was just a bit of fun and she’s enjoyed herself. But she is growing bored of the relationship and her family comes first. He would ruin her chances of adopting again. And the pictures of him with Luciana made her realize that he’ll be better suited to somebody his own age”, a reliable source mentioned.

The 22 year old Jesus Luz had been dating the 50 year old pop star for the past three months, after Madonna separated from her Director husband Guy Ritchie.  The two met in Brazil during a photo shoot for W magazine last year.

The biggest question that now spurs is who Jesus is not going to date.

Jesus Luz

Jesus Luz who claims to be dating Pop Queen Madonna, reportedly dumped another model named Krishna Siqueira for Madonna. Jesus Luz is riding high on success heels. Since he has tied up with Madonna (a very clever move) Luz’s career has sky rocketed and he is from straight nobody to some busy body for sure. Jesus has even forgotten his Brazilian roots. His family claims that Luz was a very good Catholic boy who got swayed by Madonna’s moves. Jesus Luz has become very famous after he posed alongside Madonna for W Magazine.

Krishna Siqueira was a 20 year old model who reportedly dated Luz for five months. Luz then started falling for Madonna and suddenly their relationship was no more there.

Soon after the shoot for the magazine, Luz and Madonna started to ring the rumour mills with daily updates of their fling.

However Krishna claims that she does not feel for Jesus anymore and she has long gotten over him.

Krishna wittily added that Jesus Luz had made a very clear statement and has proved that he has very high ambitions. Krishna said she very well understood Luz’s ambitions.

Madonna

Krishna revealed : “In the beginning I was very upset. I wasn’t expecting this at all. But we are still friends and we still talk. I understand his view because I want to have success as well. So I’m not going to have fits of jealousy or try to hinder his life.” Krishna made it a point to clarify her statement. She said that Luz was very mature as a person in real life and he sure had no intention to have an affair with Madonna only for the sake of publicity. Krishna also said that Luz described Madonna as a “wonderful person”. Krishna added : “I honestly didn’t want to ask for many details. Maybe because I am jealous. He says he is in a great phase of his life.”

Madonna has introduced Jesus Luz to her Kaballah belief. Luz has also been introduced to Madonna’s kids. Luz is becoming a part of Madonna’s family. The couple have a massive age difference but is going strong with each day.
