Yeah, as readers of the A.T. knew ages ago, we've been going on for some time that this year (as we were told by our original Ciccone blabbers) her divorce would be announced.
So been there.
However, something you all don't know is that the delay wasn't entirely due to the fact that Her Madgesty's in the middle of a tour right now. "It was also the kids," blabbed the M camper, who insisted protecting the three kids Ms. M has with her hubby of nearly a decade was also a top priority. We almost believe it.
"But it's been off with Guy for a long time," he added. This we knew. Indeed, check out Truth, Lies & Ted this week, as I tell ya just how many times Madonna visited the set of Ritchie's latest flick, RocknRolla. (Hint: you can count her visits with the same number of fingers it takes Madonna to shoot the bird to nastyass old pals like Cynthia Rodriguez.)
"This is just not news at all, that they're not together," added the M know-it-all. And as to the continued scuttlebutt that Madonna's still seeing hunky baseballer A-Rod?
"Madonna sees exactly who she wants," snapped the M pal, slightly cryptically, slightly defensively.
Exactly. I know this game well. Message received, loud and clear. In other words, Mr. Rod, once M gets done with you, I wouldn't stick around as long as Guy did. Just a suggestion, nothing more.
