Not sure why, but this makes me sad. Quote: BREAKING NEWS: It's Official: Madonna and Guy Ritchie Divorcing Wednesday October 15, 2008 Buzz up!Madonna's spokeswoman says the singer and Guy Ritchie are divorcing after 7 1/2 years together. In a statement co-signed by Ritchie's representative and e-mailed to The Associated Press, Liz Rosenberg says the couple had not agreed to a settlement yet. "Guy Ritchie is responsible for wanting this divorce now," a source tellls Usmagazine.com. "He didn't want to wait to break the news, it had gone on along enough. This marriage was over a long time ago." Another insider tells Us: "All her friends and family have known all along. They had to keep it under wraps and really tried to work things out. They tried for years, actually. "They thought their belief in Kabbalah could help," the source adds, "but it's unfortunately hard for Madonna to hold on to anybody in her life. Thank God she has the kids." The news comes after British papers reported Wednesday morning that a split announcement was imminent. Citing unnamed sources, The Sun reports the couple want a divorce finalized by Christmas. Madonna, 50, and Ritchie, 40, "can't bear to live with the pretense any longer," a source told The Sun. "It's very sad. They were a great couple and brilliant parents. They just couldn't live together. "Despite huge attempts to patch things up, they both knew deep down that divorce was in the cards. It wasn't a matter of 'if' but 'when.' They tried hard over the past few months, but their fighting was getting out of control. "The final straw came before Madonna started her U.S. tour." Though Madonna wanted to wait to announce their split until after her global "Sticky and Sweet" tour, their fighting got so bad that Ritchie just wanted out, according to the Sun. Madonna finally agreed. Check out Madonna's biggest scandals. The The New York Post reports that they made a last-ditch attempt to save their marriage with an intensive Kabbalah course in Manhattan. "Ritchie flew into New York a few weeks ago specifically to undergo instruction with his wife to try to patch things up, but to no avail," the Post reports, citing a source. The couple live primarily in London, so their divorce is expected to move through courts there. The Daily Mail - which also cites unnamed sources - is already estimating that Ritchie will pocket about $100 million in a settlement. The pair has three children between them: Lourdes, 12, Madonna's daughter from her relationship with actor and personal trainer Carlos Leon; and Ritchie and Madonna's sons, Rocco, 8, and David, 2. Madonna and Ritchie have clashed over everything from their kids to where they should live: the United States or England, sources said. Madonna also reportedly wants to adopt another child, which Ritchie is against. Ritchies's mother, Lady Amber Leighton, told reporters at her west London home she would not comment on the matter: "We are not talking to press and we won't be all day." Barbara Charone, Madonna's London-based rep, told news agency AFP: "No comment. We're not going to know anything until the U.S. wakes up." Madonna has been linked to the recent divorce of New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriquez and his wife, Cynthia Rodriquez, as Us Weekly first reported. Madonna vehemently denied rumors of a romance. Look back at Madonna's loves through the years. On Oct. 2, Us reported the two took in a cozy dinner at Dos Caminos in NYC.

Ray was cracking me up, Ben sat quiet most of the time, Ralph was f'ing annoying, Beth was too nice & Robin was, as usual, always right. ANd I missed most of the wedding recap, because of work. Damn, I hope I hear a replay this weekend!

man chew : big league chew

I think she's just "The Waitress".

Did anyone else hear that 2 of the show's stars got married recently? I read in US Weekly this weekend that Kaitlin Olson & Rob McElhenney got married on September 27th. Go Mac & Dee! And Charlie & the waitress are married in real life, too?? My mind is spinning right now.

I got that damn flu right after we came home form the honeymoon, and didn't hit the gym. Now that we have our new kitties, I'm running after them so much that I hope it counts as cardio.

Vera : Wang

have an amazing time! Congratulations!!!!

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I'm gunning for a Phillies/Devil Rays World Series just because it'd piss Bud Selig off to not have the Dodger/BoSox matchup that he's dying for.

we used A Paradise Dream Wedding in August & I can't say enough GREAT things about their team. I posted my review, so if you'd like to read in more detail, you can just search for "A Paradise Dream Wedding". My pictures should be available on or around Oct 24th & I'll post those ASAP! Happy Planning!

For some reason, Black Cats & Even Black dogs are the hardest to get adopted and I don't really know why. Your going to get so much joy out of having the two of them!! Over the summer I Fostered 4 Kittens (They were 4 weeks old) and I gotta tell you, that was one of the best things I have ever done. They brought me so much joy, day after day. Good luck with your new additions!! :-) I'm very happy for you!! Thanks Jennifer. I was also concerned about them being available so close to Halloween (being black cats). There are some mean people out there & I couldn't imagine anything happening to these little guys. They're already a part of the family & sooooo loveable. We are so happy that we got them both. We couldn't have split them up.

here are a couple more. and you can kinda see the extra toes on the back paws in this pic I just want to go home & snuggle with them now!

me, me, me! I LOVE Stewie!!!!!

Ladies- I've been MIA lately, because last week we adopted 2 adorable little kitties from a local shelter. They are littermates & just under 4 months old, so we've been watching them like hawks (they're teething & we have alot of cords at home). They're also polydactal cats (meaning they have extra toes) so when they bat at something it looks like they're wearing mittens.....it's very adorable. Here are a couple of pictures (we had to bust out the OLD camera, since our camera still hasn't been replaced from our honeymoon (don't even get me started on that one). Here's Raven: And this is Polly: And it's NOT the same cat, they look almost identical though. Will post more pics when we get the good camera back & I might actually get a picture of their faces in good light!

nicholas cage: honeymoon in vegas (I love that movie!)

) Four places that I go to over and over: Work, Le Peep for breakfast, the gym, the chiropractor Four people who e-mail me (regularly): My boss, my best friend, the animal rescue folks (hopefully we'll adopt our new kitties this weekend, my wedding planner (hounding them for pictures) C)Four of my favorite places to eat: Pizza Express, El Paso BBQ, Le Peep, Kyoto D) Four places I would rather be right now: in bed, at a spa getting a massage, Maui, NYC E) Four people I think will respond: why everyone, of course! F) Four TV shows I watch: Amazing Race, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, LOST, Chelsea Lately G) List something life has taught you through the years! seize the moment (a lesson i learned very well 1 year ago when Brad had his heart issues last year)

I bow down to your prediction. That would be perfect!

Quote: Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds made it official with a quiet wedding this weekend, a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. Reynolds's rep also confirmed that they were married. This is the first marriage for both. The couple had announced their engagement in May. Johansson, 23, began dating Reynolds, 31, last year shortly after his split from singer Alanis Morissette, who recently expressed well wishes on her ex's engagement. More details to come ... Yay, I am happy for them
