Madonnas Divorce
Author: Mr Paparazzi
Guy Could Get £150 Million From Madge… Madonna and Guy Ritchie leaving the 'RocknRolla' Premiere After-Party in London, Guy Ritchie could walk away with a potential £150 million from his divorce settlement with Madonna! Small compensation for seven and a half years of marriage to Madonna, if you ask us. The couple officially announced the end of their marriage this afternoon. In a statement to the press Madonna’s spokesperson, Liz Rosenberg said: "Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after seven-and-a-half years of marriage. They have both requested that the media maintain respect for their family at this difficult time." The couple, who own homes in London, Los Angeles and New York, and a 1,200-acre retreat in Wiltshire, are expected to try to come to an agreement on assets before heading to court. The settlement could be one of the biggest in British history, dwarfing the £24 million that was awarded to Heather Mills following her divorce from Paul McCartney. Lawyers will argue over the exact figure, but Guy could be entitled to half of Madge's £300 million fortune - that's a whopping £150 million! Madonna will not be happy - then again, she never is. Madonna & Guy Divorce - Confirmed!!! Singer Madonna and Guy Ritchie arrive at the 'I Am Because We Are' Premiere at the Palais des Festivals during the 61st International Cannes Film Festival. Madonna’s spokesperson has now officially confirmed the couple will divorce and we don't mind telling you we're shocked to our very core. Seriously, we never saw that one coming. We'll keep you updated as and when more news reaches us.... Gwyneth Begged Madonna Not To Divorce Unlike the rest of the British nation, who were smiling and dancing with joy at the thought of Madonna leaving the Country following reports about her imminent divorce from Guy Ritchie (due to be officially announced later today), Gwyneth Paltrow is simply devastated. Apparently the Oscar-winning actress has spent the past few months begging her friend not to separate from Guy Ritchie. Gwyneth is said to have advised Madonna to stay with her husband for the sake of their children. “Gwyneth begged Madonna all summer not to be an idiot and let this marriage fall apart. She just doesn't think it's possible that Madonna and Guy would hurt their children by splitting up, and says she has actively advised both of them to put their problems and their egos aside for the sake of the children.” “But Madonna can be very hard-headed and treats Gwyneth like a younger sister. If Madonna goes through with a divorce it's going to break Gwyneth's heart and affect their friendship permanently.” Hard-headed? More like hard-faced. We spotted the fraught and distressed looking actress leaving a café in London this morning, with a very serious scowl on her chops. Do you think she's been reading the morning papers? Madonna & Guy Ritchie Are Divorcing... Yes that’s right - Guy Ritchie has finally had enough of staring at Madonna’s moany old sour face all day long, so he’s decided to divorce her. Well, that’s what we like to think anyway. The official line from a source close to the couple is that they “can’t bear to live with the pretence any longer". After months of speculation, the pair are expected to release an official statement detailing the break-up of their eight-year relationship later today. Apparently the state of the couple’s marriage initially deteriorated amid huge rows over each other's work – as both Madge and Guy wanted to spend more time on their careers. A source close to the pair revealed: “Despite huge attempts to patch things up they both knew deep down that divorce was on the cards. It wasn’t a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’. They tried hard over the last few months but their fighting was getting out of control.” Madonna had reportedly wanted to wait until her Sweet & Sticky tour was over in the New Year, to announce the news. But Guy felt that he had simply had enough of Moany Old Wench so he put his foot down, and do you blame him? Guy is now expected to move out of their home in Marylebone, London, which Madonna owns, and into Ashcombe House, Wiltshire which is his property. It is not clear where their son, Rocco, Madonna's daughter Lourdes and adopted son David will live.

Marvellous Marijuana Stories
Author: Robert Kane
Cannabis news is always cropping up in the papers and online. Whether it's the latest MP venting their opinion on the dangers of the drug, before admitting they used to take it or a celebrity busted by police over possession, it's pretty hard to avoid. Then there are the oddities - the marijuana stories which are funny, strange or just plain weird. Here are the best from the last few years: California introduces Pot Vending Machines Before you all pack your bags and head over the Atlantic, I should point out that it's strictly for people with a medical prescription to use marijuana as part of their healthcare - and there are safeguards in place to prevent non-prescribed folks from using it. Patients will be required to provide their prescription, give a fingerprint and then have their photo taken. This cannabis news remains controversial because although medical marijuana is legal in some states, the federal government does not recognise its medicinal properties. Utah Teenager Reports Pot Theft to Police This is one of those marijuana stories that make you appreciate just how some stupid some people can be. Not only did an 18 year old burglar report his stolen cannabis to police, but he accepted an invitation to come in and identify the stash when the robber was caught. No sooner had he confirmed the marijuana was his, then he was arrested and charged on possession with intent to supply. Sniffer Dog Fails to Find Planted Pot After planting some marijuana in a customer's luggage to train a new sniffer dog, customs officials were left embarrassed when this cannabis news story hit the headlines: the mutt failed to find the goods! The mistake, combined with the custom officer's failure to recall which bag he'd put it in, meant that one passenger left with a free cannabis gift in their luggage. A spokesman for the airport's customs' office made a plea for its return: "If by some chance passengers find it in their suitcase, we're asking them to return it." Burglars and Police Raid House at the Same Time One of the most unlikely marijuana stories in this list: Two Australian burglars broke into a house being used to grow hydroponic cannabis only to discover it was full of police officers raiding the place to search for drugs! The burglars fled, but were caught a few days later by police. Pot Smoker Reports Dealer to Police over "Bad Weed" A 52 year old Darmstadt cannabis smoker was arrested for the possession of illegal substances after reporting his dealer to the police for selling him some "completely un-enjoyable" marijuana. The cannabis news article explains that the man had previously taken it up with the dealer directly, who refused to issue him a refund of the £270 he had paid for the drugs. Upon taking his "fraud" allegations with police, he was charged for his crime, despite the "absolutely mediocre quality" of the drugs involved. Cannabis Plants Cause Police Station Closure Billericay police station in Essex needed to be evacuated after the stench of confiscated cannabis plants became overpowering. 150 seedlings and mature plants grown from cannabis seeds had been seized from the home of a pro-cannabis campaigner and were kept in the station's cell, where their strong odour swept through the whole building. One source said "The smell even filtered into the public reception area and people might have got the wrong idea." Rock Star Charged with Wanting to Smoke Marijuana...in 1994 An Argentine rock star was charged with informing spectators that he felt like smoking a joint - a decade after the cannabis news story broke. In November 1994, Andres Calamaro told 100,000 fans in La Plata: "I feel so good that I could smoke a joint". Attempts were made by morally offended parents to bring charges against the rock star, but these were dismissed by the judge in 1995. A decade later a less liberal judge was found, and the case was reopened for the musician, then 43. Cannabis Smoker Celebrates 120th Birthday A 120 year old Indian woman living with her 92 year old daughter and 72 year old grandson is baffled by her longevity: "I don't know how I've survived so long. Many relatives much younger than me have died". One theory suggests it's her habitual drug use. According to the Sun, the 120 year old Fulla Nayak smokes cannabis cigars and drinks strong palm wine, and this could be the secret of her success.
