After a divorce saga that included rumors of sleeping with Alex Rodriguez, and what ultimately ended up with a quicky legal split, Madonna is wise to rapidly shift focus away from her personal affairs and on to something more … consumerist. Enter Louis Vuitton, which Ms. Sticky & Sweet is said to be shooting a campaign for, joining the ranks of Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, and Catherine Deneuve in the brand's relaxed-yet-stylized campaign.

"Pop star Madonna said it was a shame the United States could put a black man in the White House but not allow same-sex marriage… 'If we can elect an African-American as president, we can support gay marriage! Defeat Prop 8! We will not give up!.'" [AFP] |

It looks like fans — at least the crazed ones — are siding with Madonna over Guy Ritchie as their divorce battle heats up. Indeed! How can this guppie claim to be Madge's biggest fan? You know there's a whole gaggle of older, grayer gays who deserves the title way more. |

After visiting a counselor two years ago, Madge hung up the contract in the couple's New York home and, if her husband every broke the rules, she would say, "Contract, Guy, contract." Cause that's not annoying at all. It's a wonder Guy survived this long, especially upon viewing the rules… |

Except standing in the way of these grand plans is the obnoxious press, filled with their anonymously sourced items painting you as the self-absorbed persona you practically branded yourself from the beginning. So just who is leaking all your personal details to the media? |

Despite her gut-wrenching divorce from Guy Ritchie, Madonna has not given up on living in London. This means, of course, we Americans won't have to handle the burden of hosting the pop star. Meanwhile, actress Gwyneth Paltrow admitted she's helping Madge through this hard time. What a relief! [The Hindu and BBC] |

Instead of offering up a respectable "no comment," the father had this to say: I am still a poor farmer with nothing to offer, but maybe he'd be better off back with us. This woman, Madonna, told me herself that David was beautiful and made her happy and she promised to take care of him. Now I see him in a big bewildering crowd in the street with people pushing and shoving, and many cameras around, and without a mother and father to hold his hand. I'm feeling bad for him. |
» Guy Going For Gold?
Speaking of greed, Madonna's reportedly prepared to offer soon-to-be ex-husband Guy Ritchie a $12 million estate and $15 million in cash as a divorce settlement. Realizing he could get more, some say, Ritchie's gearing up to pillage the pop star's bank accounts. The couple's worth a combined $521 million, most of which comes from the Missus, of course.

Lindsay Lohan said it would be "incredible" and "beyond" to work with Madonna. When Madge herself was asked whether she would collaborate with Lohan, she responded, "Yeah, sure. Why not?" That's a ringing endorsement if we've ever heard one… [Daily Star] |

…As super-pregnant M.I.A. performed at the Diesel XXX party in Dumbo, Lindsay Lohan desperately tried to get the attention of Chace Crawford. Lohan, who launched her 6126 line at Henri Bendel last night, pulled on the "Gossip Girl" boy's shirt and grabbed his shoulder, but "Crawford was more interested in talking with Taylor Momsen," our spy said. At least Lilo's always got Sam Ronson, right? |

Madonna's not nice. "The Swedish pop star Robyn was psyched when the Material Mom invited her to open for a handful of her European concerts but quickly found out there are rules. Robyn told her hometown Swedish paper that she and her crew were told "not to approach Madonna, not to speak to Madonna and, above all, no pictures… I hadn't expected any glamour, but it's strange that they assume that the first thing you're gonna do is run after Madonna and ask for an autograph. My worst nightmare would be to turn into Madonna." We take it Madge won't be inviting Robyn back for an encore. [NY Post] |
