Report: Madonna and Guy Ritchie to "Divorce by Christmas"

You can't say you didn't see this coming. After months of denials and rumors of affairs, Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie are set to announce the end of their almost-eight-year marriage.

The Sun reports Madge want to divorce by Christmas, which would be the the eighth anniversary of their wedding. The Daily News:

A spokeswoman for Madonna declined to comment on The Sun's story.

The couple decided to go public with the split now because they "can't bear to live with the pretense any longer," a source close to the couple told the newspaper.

They have had a string of shouting matches about the amount of time each devotes to their careers and over Madonna's desire to adopt another child. The disputes included a whopper around Ritchie's 40th birthday that sent Madonna storming out of the house, The Sun said.

In July, Cynthia Rodriguez, the wife of baseball's highest-paid star Alex Rodriguez, filed for divorce and said Madonna "brainwashed" her husband with Kabalah. Madge denied any romantic involvement with A-Rod. Brother Christopher Ciccone—who had a now-infamous falling out with Madge over Guy's behavior at their wedding—said Rodriguez "is kind of her type." 

The 50-year-Madonna has just kicked off her 'Sticky and Sweet' tour and is set to play Boston tonight. Earlier this week was the New York screening of Madonna's directorial debut, Filth & Wisdom.

I know Taylor. Straight people really have no respect for the sanctity of marriage. I think we should start a petition to end different sex marriage.

As sweet as Alex Rodriguez appears and seeing how sickly she is looking here these days I wonder which won wore the strap-on?
