As Madonna and Guy Richie end their marriage and the child custody battle begins, we here at the Razz are entertained/impressed with Madonna’s “list of demands” that shes requiring Guy Ritchie to follow while with the children. If this whole list thing sounds familiar, you might remember that Heather Mills made a similar 8-page set of rules for Sir Paul after their divorce.
Some of the rules Madge has dreamt up seem silly, like: Guy cant introduce the kids to any new friends or be photographed with the kids. But other rules like having the kids stick to a macrobiotic, vegetarian and organic diet  seem pretty groovy.

"Rabbi Berg, the most senior kabbalah member and her spiritual leader, has instructed her that the ongoing mudslinging and prospect of a court battle between the sect's two most high-profile members could badly damage its image. Berg has now given Madonna a 24-hour deadline to come back to him with a plan to mediate towards a swift divorce resolution using a round-table of kabbalah leaders chaired by him.'Rabbi Berg's ultimate hope would be a reconciliation. 'But that seems rather a distant hope so at best he would like to put an end to the public raking over of their marriage,' said a source close to the couple. Madonna however is said to be torn with the idea, thinking that if they go to kabbalah mediation at this point, she will be persuaded to part with a substantial amount of her wealth and also may lose out in having to give Guy a larger share of custody of their son Rocco, seven, and David, three. Kabbalah's view on this would be that it as far as family is concerned, it's only money. Guy would get a lot more than if their lawyers were slugging it out. 'Kabbalah might also give Guy better access than British law might. Let us not to forget that Guy and Rabbi Berg were also very close. 'Guy really studied kabbalah. There was a feeling in certain quarters that Madonna's interest in kabbalah was linked more to her ego. 'Guy on the other hand was more interested in the fundamentals of it, in dissecting it. Consequently he had a much greater intellectual bond with the kabbalah leaders.

of the years witty, snappily edited and boasts of topnotch ensemble
acting by Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, Mark Strong, Toby Kebbell, Tom
Hardy and Thandie Newton.

Despite being married to a world-famous pop icon, Guy, preppy in a
crewneck sweater, shirt and jeans, and looking much younger in person,
claimed that he does not live a life.

Defining films title

RocknRolla is the idea of a volatile individual who has a strong
desire for life. Part of getting mature is about not getting too
volatile. So on my 40th birthday, Im going to wear slippers and smoke
a pipe more (laughter). Im kind of happy with that. Ive actually
enjoyed getting older, almost exponentially as the years go by. So Im
not a

Asked about what being mature means to him, he obliged with, I
suppose it has something to do with a philosophical outlook. Its the
recognition of triumph and disaster.I think its fantastic, he commented about his wifes current
Sticky Sweet tour. I went and saw her in Cardiff (Wales). I
couldnt have been more impressed. He added wryly, I like her. Shes
the best thing in it. All throughout the press con, he mostly referred
to Madonna as or

Love of creativity

As to what binds Mr. and Mrs. Ritchie, who first met through mutual
friends Sting and his wife Trudie Styler, he offered, s a love of
creativity. Thats probably the main connection. According to him, the
famous couples idea of having fun and relaxing together is simple.
s mostly going out to dinner, he said.

I pretty much just show her the movie when Im finished, Guy
replied when asked how much input the singer-actress, who is a decade
older than him, has on his projects.

Oh no, I do, Guy declared, clarifying that he does value his
wifes feedback. I think her opinion is very valid. I think shes
brilliant at what she does. At some point, Ill show a film to her and
ask, What do you think? and Ill ask her that before a project is
locked off.

Tourist in London

To a journalist who wanted to confirm that he and his missus are
planning to adopt another child, Guy, who has a biological son with
Madonna, Rocco, 8, deadpanned, Not that Im aware of. The Ritchie
brood includes the couples adopted son, David, 3, and Madonnas
daughter with Carlos Leon, 11.

Guy shared the benefits of having a wife from the US in terms of
appreciating London: Being married to an American allowed me to see
London like a tourist rather than a spy. I was very keen to come and
live on this side of the pond. I left all the ghosts that I previously
had in London but what happened was, she could see London in a way that
I couldnt see it. She sort of reintroduced me to London.

He elaborated, Well, like when you turn up in Rome for the weekend,
youre not interested in all the shitty stuff in Rome. Youre
interested in the nice stuff. When my wife hits London, shes a tourist
so shes interested in the good stuff. So I live vicariously through an
Americans eyes now (laughter). Consequently, I sort of enjoy being a
tourist in London.

Sorry, Madonna fans, but you wouldnt hear Guy humming her or I rather like traditional music, he
admitted. I quite like Johnny Cash because I like a story. Im
story-minded generally in everything. So I like traditional Irish
music. I like music that has an expression of some axe to grind, some
expression of suffering, a philosophical narrative, commentary within a
song. I am not a pop guy, really. I like stuff that has a beginning,
middle and an end. I quite like to end up crying in a song if I can.

Philosophical expression

As for his wifes beliefs in Kabbalah, a body of mystical teachings
which other celebrities like Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher also
subscribe to, Guy declared, m interested in any philosophical and
theological expression, not just Kabbalah. Anything that encourages
thought or philosophy, I encourage.

Of the rise and fall trajectory of his career (hes on the upswing
again, based on the good reviews heaped on ), Guy
explained, Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem called There are lines
in it which I think are brilliant and these are, If you can meet with
triumph and disaster/And treat those two imposters just the same. You
have to convince your own mind that its true so one day youre
popular, the next youre not. The truth is, neither really happened. It
only appears as though it happened.

re on a road and ultimately only you can assess your journey at
the end of it. You cant be beguiled or deluded to the so-called
triumphs and disasters. Often our disasters are our greatest triumphs
so its the inability to understand the journey is what we have to deal
with.

As for the sensationalistic stories that hound the couple (which
lately hint at a rift in the seven-year union), Guy said, ll have
to come back to the same philosophy about triumph and disaster. If you
buy into any tabloid sensation, you simply give credibility to
something that is ultimately an illusion. You cant buy into it. The
only way that you cant buy into it is not to read it.

Born Madonna Louise Ciccone, 16 August 1958, Bay City, Michigan, USA. An icon for female pop stars thanks to her proven ability to reinvent herself while retaining complete control of her career, Madonna is also one of the most commercially successful artists in the history of popular music. Without doubt an artist with "star quality", no other female singer in the pop arena has been as prominent or as successful over such a long period.The young Madonna Louise Ciccone excelled at dance and drama at high school and during brief periods at colleges in Michigan and North Carolina. In 1977, she went to New York, studying with noted choreographer Alvin Ailey and taking modelling jobs. Two years later, Madonna moved to France to join a show featuring disco singer Patrick Hernandez. There she met Dan Gilroy and, back in New York, the pair formed club band the Breakfast Club. Madonna played drums and sang with the band before setting up Emmy in 1980 with Detroit-born drummer and former boyfriend, Steve Bray. Together, Madonna and Bray created club tracks which led to a recording deal with Sire Records. With leading New York disc jockey Mark Kamins producing, she recorded "Everybody", a US club hit in 1982. Madonna broke out from the disco scene into mainstream pop with "Holiday", written and produced by Jellybean. It reached the US Top 20 in late 1983 and was a Top 10 hit across Europe the following year.By now, her tough, raunchy persona was coming across to international audiences and the attitude was underlined by the choice of Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg's catchy "Like A Virgin" as a 1984 single. The track provided the singer with the first of her subsequent 11 US number 1s. The follow-up, "Material Girl", included a promotional video which introduced one of Madonna's most characteristic visual styles, the mimicking of Marilyn Monroe's "blonde bombshell' image. By the time of her appearance at 1985"s Live Aid concert and her high-profile wedding to actor Sean Penn on 16 August the same year, Madonna had become an internationally recognized superstar, known to millions of tabloid newspaper readers without any interest in her music. Among the fans of her work were a growing number of "wannabees", teenage girls who aped her independent and don't-care stance.
From 1985-87, Madonna turned out a stream of irresistibly catchy transatlantic Top 5 singles. "Crazy For You", her second US chart-topper, was co-written by ex-Carpenters collaborator John Bettis, while she co-wrote her first UK number 1, "Into The Groove", with Steve Bray. These were followed by "Dress You Up", "Live To Tell", and the transatlantic chart-topper, "Papa Don't Preach". "True Blue", "Open Your Heart" and "La Isla Bonita' were further successes taken from 1986"s True Blue. Like an increasing number of her songs, "Who's That Girl" (her second transatlantic number 1) and "Causing A Commotion" were tied-in to a movie - in this instance, a poorly received comedy in which she starred with Sir John Mills. Madonna's film career had begun with a minor role in the b-movie A Certain Sacrifice before she starred in the acclaimed Desperately Seeking Susan. The following year she appeared with husband Penn in her first real failure, Shanghai Surprise. She separated from Penn in 1988, the same year she appeared on Broadway in David Mamet's play Speed The Plow. Back on the music scene, the singer continued to attract controversy when, in 1989, the video for "Like A Prayer" (her third transatlantic chart-topper), with its links between religion and eroticism, was condemned by the Vatican and caused Pepsi-Cola to cancel a sponsorship deal with the star. The resulting publicity helped the album of the same title - co-produced with new collaborator Patrick Leonard - to become a global bestseller.
In 1990, her career reached a new peak of publicity and commercial success. She starred with Warren Beatty in the blockbuster movie Dick Tracy, while the extravagant costumes and choreography of the Blond Ambition world tour were the apotheosis of Madonna's uninhibited melange of sexuality, song, dance and religiosity. The tour was commemorated by the following year's documentary movie, Truth Or Dare. Among her hits of the early 90s were the transatlantic number 1 "Vogue", devoted to a short-lived dance craze, "Hanky Panky", "Justify My Love" (co-written with Lenny Kravitz), "Rescue Me", and "This Used To Be My Playground" (from the soundtrack of A League Of Their Own).
Madonna's reputation as a strong businesswoman, in control of each aspect of her career, was confirmed in 1992 when she signed a multi-million dollar deal with the Time-Warner conglomerate, parent company of Sire. This guaranteed the release of albums, films and books created by her own Maverick production company. The publication of her graphic and erotic book Sex put her back on top of the charts, though this time it was in the bestselling book lists. The book was an unprecedented success, selling out within hours and needing an immediate reprint. The attendant Erotica marked a slight creative downturn, and was her first album since her debut not to generate a US number 1 single. She returned to form on Bedtime Stories, on which she teamed up with Soul II Soul producer Nellee Hooper, who wrote the title track in conjunction with Björk. "Take A Bow" returned the singer to the top of the US singles chart, while the rest of the album boasted songs that combined, by her own description, pop, RB, hip-hop and Madonna. The 1995 compilation of her slower material, Something To Remember, featured the excellent new song, "You'll See".
In 1996, Madonna's need to shock had mellowed considerably with a credible movie portrayal of Eva Peron in Alan Parker's Evita. Later that year she became "with child' on 14 October with the birth of Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon. She returned to music with March 1998"s Ray Of Light, one of her finest recordings to date. Collaborating with producer William Orbit, Madonna positively revelled in a new found musical freedom. Her voice had also matured into a rich and expressive instrument. The album generated several transatlantic hit singles, including "Frozen" (a UK chart-topper), "Ray Of Light", "Drowned World (Substitute For Love)", "The Power Of Good-bye", and "Nothing Really Matters". "Beautiful Stranger', taken from the soundtrack to the Mike Myers" movie Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, reached number 2 in the UK charts in June 1999. Another soundtrack, for the movie The Next Best Thing, co-written and co-produced by Madonna and Orbit, was released on the singer's Maverick label. It featured her new single, a reworking of Don McLean's classic "American Pie".
Madonna worked with Orbit and French dance producer Mirwais on her next collection, Music, the title track of which was a transatlantic chart-topper in September 2000. Shortly before the release of the album, on 11 August, the singer gave birth to her second child, Rocco. On 22 December, she married the UK film director Guy Ritchie in Scotland and managed once again to grab most of the newspaper headlines. She went on to collaborate with Ritchie on the controversial video for "What It Feels Like For A Girl", and in 2002 starred in the director's ill-fated remake of Swept Away. The same year Madonna performed the theme song to the new James Bond movie, Die Another Day. The following year she released her new studio album, American Life, a transatlantic chart-topper.

minute later we were in the street and walking for home. We had crossed Oxford Street and were halfway down Harley Street before I could get a word from my companion.
"Sorry to bring you out on such a fool's errand, Watson," he said at last. "It is an interesting case, too, at the bottom of it."
"I can make little of it," I confessed.
"Well, it is quite evident that there are two men -- more perhaps, but at least two -- who are determined for some reason to get at this fellow Blessington. I have no doubt in my mind that both on the first and on the second occasion that young man penetrated to Blessington's room, while his confederate, by an ingenious device, kept the doctor from interfering."
"And the catalepsy?"
A fraudulent imitation, Watson, though I should hardly dare to hint as much to our specialist. It is a very easy complaint to imitate. I have done it myself."
"And then?"
By the purest chance Blessington was out on each occasion.

or, Dial M for... Matilda. Whilst scouring Britain for Lovely Things to share with the world, I encountered this pottery madonna in a Leicestershire Church. Its only a mobile phone shot, but shes got lovely eyes, and I particularly like the I surrender posture of our Lord, along with the added spermatazoa in the background.

This could be the loveliest naïve devotional object in England... unless you know better.

It was certainly an interesting backdrop for discussions about female bishops.

Madonna To Finance School In Malawi
MADONNA will finance construction this year on a multi-million-dollar girls' school in Malawi, the same country where she is adopting a little boy, Reuters reports.
A task force has been formed to coordinate the project, which will be on the same scale as OPRAH WINFREY'S $40 million girls' academy in South Africa, Madonna's lawyer ALAN CHINULA tells Reuters.
Malawi's high court is expected to give final approval this week for Madonna's adoption of two-year-old DAVID BANDA. The pop star discovered the boy in an orphanage where his father had placed him because he could no longer care for him.
