The divorce of superstars Madonna and Guy Ritchie have left many questions in the air. I feel like we’ve been hearing about it for so long yet, as is usual with most high-profile celebrities, they’ve denied it at every point. What we find out now is that a lot of what ignited the trouble was Guy’s refusal to accept his wife’s faith in Kabbalah. We’ve all known for a while now that she is a devoted believer whereas he just thinks its hogwash. Not to mention the fact that while her career is on top of the world, his is barely staying afloat. This, I’d imagine, would cause for some serious marital tension! Oh that and the fact that her net worth is estimated at about $500mil whereas Guy trails behind at $50mil. Definitely not chump change in the eyes of practically every American and Brit, but in the world of diamonds, champagne, and private jets, that leaves much room for mooching off the wifey. The Sun also reports of the couple’s attempt to deceive the public:

“She made a surprise appearance at the West End cinema, walking arm-in-arm with her husband and posing for photographs.

The appearance was seen as a move to end speculation that their marriage was in trouble.

Ritchie had tried to scotch the rumours of a split with a public show of support at his wife’s 50th birthday party in August. But it was all a sham.”

Sad it had to go down this way but I suppose when you have millions of dollars, various properties, and children at stake, things tend to get a bit dirty. Let’s hope it doesn’t take too heavy a toll on Madge because in the end we still want to hear her music and I’ll be damned if I can’t keep enjoying my Madonna!

Speaking of shams… check out the gallery of Guy attending Kabbalah services… ha!

The Christmas cheer just keeps on coming. After 11 years of marriage, Sean Penn and his wife Robin Wright Penn are divorcing. The couple have two kids together and have starred together in several films. What a strange way to end the year. Divorce papers and engagement rings are being exchanged instead of Christmas cheer. Brendan Fraser and his wife announcing their divorce earlier today and Fergie and Josh as well as Jessica and Cash announcing their engagements. I’m glad there’s only 3 more days of the year left, I don’t think I can handle any more divorce news this year.

Actor Brendan Fraser and his wife Afton are divorcing. They have three children together and have been together for 14 years, which is like 72 in Hollywood years. The Encino Man’s publicist issued a statement saying that “they continue to maintain a close and caring friendship,” which is good to hear considering they have kids but still unfortunate because it’s Christmas time. Couldn’t the couple have waited at least a week to announce this? Poor kids, from now on Santa Claus will always be a reminder of the biggest tragedy of their youth, the day Daddy threw his luggage in the Porsche and never slept over again. Awww… I just made myself sad.
