The ongoing soap opera of Madonna and Guy Ritchie continues. There has been talk the two are attempting to reconcile in New York. Meanwhile rumors have been swirling about Yankees baseball player Alex Rodriguez making midnight visits at Madonna’s residence. Some media sources are reporting this there will be no reconciliation, this could all be just for show to help Madonna bring in more money for her upcoming tour. Sources close to the couple have said the two have been living entirely separate lives for months. The latest bombshell involves Cynthia Rodriguez- she is asking for a divorce and she has stated through her lawyer that Madonna is the straw that broke the camel’s back. Apparently, infidelity has been an on-going problem in the couple’s relationship for a long time- even before the Material Girl came into the picture.

Madonna the original queen of pop and erotica is apparently in talks with the former divorce lawyer of Paul McCartney. Apparently Mr Richie has representation also, this story sounds totally legit. No one would ever imagine Madonna to be the type to live happily ever after with anyone. We’re all left wondering what led to the failure of this marriage. The couple is so private the details are scarce. We rarely see Madonna’s relationship in the public eye anymore. After the two wed 7 years ago people lost interest. This year was somewhat exciting for Madonna, she sparked a bit of controversy for adopting David from Malawi. Madonna was also snapped holding a transparent bag with a sex toy in it as she walked with Guy Richie. Indeed we would never expect a “normal marriage” from Madonna. Recently pictures have been surfacing of Carlos de Leon (the father of Lourdes) visiting with his 11 year old. We’re all wondering what role Carlos will play in this nasty divorce battle.

Nick Hogan got off easy for his charge of felony reckless driving and driving under the influence. As many of you may recall he got into a near fatal car crash in August of 2007, read all about it here. As a result of the accident Nick had superficial injuries and his best friend John Graziano will never be the same. The family of John Graziano appeared in court last week and recommended that Nick receive 1 year in jail. Instead Nick will face 8 months in jail, 5 years of probation, and 500 hours of community service. The judge was pretty generous considering John Graziano will be a vegetable for the rest of his life because of Nick Hogan. In the courthouse the Hogan family tried to soften the blow by making excuses but that didn’t help their case once John Graziano’s family made their statements. We all are waiting to see how this event will effect the image of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan.

It was just November 13, 2004 when Star Jones and Al Reynolds made all of their dreams come true in an extravagant wedding. Their wedding was the event of the century, it was said to be the most expensive celebrity wedding of its time complete with over 30 corporate sponsors. Many criticized Star Jones who was a television personality on “The View”, but she wanted to use her money make all of her childhood fantasies come true. Her diva like behavior earned her the title of bridezilla. Unfortunately, the entire marriage became tainted with constant rumors questioning Al’s sexuality and questioning Star’s weight loss. Many people believed the marriage was on the rocks for awhile. Reports have just surfaced Star has filed for divorce in March. According to sources close to the couple, they have been separated for at least 1 year. Recently, Star has been publicly seen with NBA basketball star Dwayne Wade, rumors have been circulating the two have been involved. So far, they both declare they are ‘just friends’.

Every since Britney Spears appeared on “How I Met Your Mother”, she has felt a renewed sense of confidence. Last time Britney appeared on the show, they received the highest ratings ever. Although Neil Patrick Harris wasn’t happy about the pop wreck making the appearance, there is talk that she maybe making more appearances. I guess if your music career is in the dump, become an actress. Well, let’s not count out Miss Britney yet, her good friend Bai Ling has told paparazzi that her boyfriend Damon Elliot (Producer) has been in the studio with Britney. Should we anticipate the release of another album or was Bai Ling just looking for attention?

We all remember the host of The Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous Robin Leach His catch phrase was “Champagne wishes and caviar dreams”. By the looks of this picture it looks like he’s dreaming of a little more than caviar.
