Guy Quits Kabbalah, as Madonna Divorce Looms
INFDaily

The Sun is reporting that Madonna's husband, Guy Ritchie, is quitting her beloved Kabbalah. Madonna is heavily involved in the Jewish mystic religion, and this is yet another sign validating rumors of their marriage's demise.

"Guy has turned his back on Kabbalah. He's given up on it altogether," says a source. "It has always been her thing."

Ritchie was all gung-ho (as are many celebrities) about the religion when things were sunnier. He reportedly included references to it in his last film, 2005's Revolver.

"It helped the bond between them," continues the Sun's confidante. "But then he backtracked a little with his gestures, like wearing the bracelet. He also became suspicious of all the Kabbalah crowd living off her money."

The Kabbalah debacle comes on the heels of reports that Madonna and Guy spent a three-day weekend in Milan...in separate bedrooms. Hot!

Also, Madonna has been sighted visiting the offices of crack divorce attorney Fiona Shackleton. It seems only a matter of time before Madge is single again, and free to hitchhike naked into someone else's life...with three kids in tow.

Quotables /
“Madonna and Guy Ritchie have reportedly agreed to end their seven-year marriage.

A friend said last night: “They were both very calm. Madonna told Guy: ‘I’m sorry, I want a divorce’. And he agreed. It was quite painless but very sad.”

One disclosed to the Daily Mirror: “He’s a bit down in the dumps, and who can blame him. He’s off to the country to get a bit of peace and quiet.”

Madonna, 49 reportedly has begun seeking advice from divorce attorney Fiona Shackleton, who represented Paul McCartney in his divorce. Ritchie, 39, is believed to be consulting with Forsters, a lesser-known London law firm.

The couple apparently did not have a prenuptial agreement which could potentially lead to a 50-50 split of assets.

Madonna is believed to be worth about $600 million.”

“Madonna and Guy's marriage has always been shrouded by mystery and rumors since day one, but news of their failing coupledom has reached new heights today, as it's revealed the singers husband has given up Kabbalah for good. The traditional Jewish religion has always been a very public part of Madonna's life and it appeared Guy has always stood by his wife's faith too. But sources close to the couple have revealed that the director has always felt uncomfortable with the faith. What this will do to the couple - only time will tell.

"He was genuinely into it...but then he backtracked a little with his gestures of public backing, like wearing the bracelet, because he didn't like being such a high-profile follower. He also became suspicious of all the Kabbalah crowd living off her money...a few weeks ago he told her he doesn't want anything else to do with it. It didn't go down well."”

“Guy Ritchie is about to be set free from Madonna's fame prison. You have noticed that he always has this "I'm barely holding on to my rage" look in every photo he appears in with her right? Yeah, I did too. Madge was spotted visiting ANOTHER divorce attorney, Fiona Shackleton.

Ritchie himself was spotted visiting his own divorce attorney, in a slightly less reputable firm. 'Cause Madge ain't paying for it. Did you know that she's worth an estimated $600 million? And there's allegedly no prenup? Did Kabbalah tell her do that? Then Kabbalah is very, very wrong.

Shackleton represented Paul McCartney in his bid for freedom from vicious pegleg Heather Mills. Mills ended up with only $48.6 million from the $160 million she asked for. So Madge has gone to the right legal assassin.

Here's Madonna at a Yankees game with her kids, thanking christ that she doesn't have to go to any more pubs with Guy's drunk ass.”

“Madonna has reportedly met with high-powered London divorce attorney Fiona Shackleton who recently represented Paul McCartney and was able to protect most of his assets from Heather Mills. In fact, Fiona was so effective she had water dumped over head in the courtroom by Paul's ex. However, this doesn't look to be a long drawn out legal battle since there is so much money at stake. Typically, these matters are resolved quickly. The Times of London reports:

James Stewart, a family partner with the leading London firm Manches, said: “These big money divorces are either terribly straightforward, because there is enough money to give those involved a fair share — more so than where there is not much money —or they go to court, because one side is either mean or greedy.
"But this is subject to departure, depending on factors such as the length of a marriage, how the matrimonial assets were created; the special or stellar contribution that either one of the couple, such as Madonna, may have made before the marriage.”

If given a choice between seeing Madonna's face and arms again in court, Guy Ritchie will most likely settle for a small lump sum of change. And, if his lawyers are good enough, the secret amulet that returns Madonna to her grave. You know, in case she seeks revenge or wants to renegotiate the condo.”
