Jeebus. Those arms. 😯
Very likely, this. Anyone that deeply involved with a cult is bound, after a while, to be a nightmare to live with. And very credible that Guy would see through the bullshit and advise her to distance herself from it. But, Madge knows best and, while I still think it’s sad, it doesn’t take much to see how this would be a major bone of contention in a relationship.
I’m really bothered by the description of kabbalah as a “mystical Jewish religion”. It’s a rip off of SOME aspects of Judaism, and is a slap in the face to those who are of that faith.
Yes, thank you, Syko! In general, Kabbalah is meant for only the most devout and studious Jews. You’d be hard-pressed to find a true Kabbalist who isn’t a very old rabbi. It’s comparable to a Buddhist or Hindu reaching nirvana. It is rather insulting that all these celebrities pay $25 for a piece of red string, and then expect to be accepted as Jews. This nonsense that Madonna and her ilk refer to as “Kabbalah” has more in common with Scientology than with Judaism.
Dammit, can’t someone’s phony bullsh*t high-brow religion keep their family together- without the brainwashing ? 😥
Those are the scariest looking arms. Ever.
Is Guy Ritchie the Nicole Kidman of the kabbalah religion?
I agree with vdantev. These celebs let these ‘religions’ control their lives, take their money and ‘encourage’ them to break ties with the ‘non believers’ in order to isolate them.
I seriously doubt Kabbalah was at the root of their [alleged] split. Of all of the reasons I, and so many, dislike Madonna, does Kabbalah even make the top five?
Thanks Leah for the info. I was wondering if Kabballalallh was a Judeo form of scientology. If M really can’t be a Kababalllalist then what, exactly, is she believing and spending all that money on? And her kids are practicing it too. 😕
I believe Kabbalah water is like $50 a bottle. That water adds up…
And Madonna has personally financed the building of a couple of kabbalah centers, I believe. Millions $$$
Guy is yum. Anyone know kabbalah’s address? I want to send it a thank-you card.
it’s the FEMALE POPEYE ! THOSE ARMS ! mommie i’m scared !!!
I think their marriage ended because Guy Ritchie realised he’s actually hot and could do a lot better than this scary hag with man-arms.
If she thinks that those arms of hers look good, she has another thing coming! She looks awful. She should hang up her lip sync mike and be a mother and stfu!
She can be fit without looking harsh and stringy (the arms). Too much. Workout an hour or so less and it would do her good.
Wasn’t that movie ‘Bee Season’ with Richard Gere Kaballah too? Seems like it was.
Anyway, I think it’s a fraud. Any religion that requires huge donations to participate it seems would be a scam.
Hmmm.
I would think that after all the s*&^ Madonna has done in her life, that she’d be one of the most open minded women on this planet. ???
Is she not open minded enough to let her husband decide what he does, and doesn’t, want to believe and participate in? If I dictated what my husband could and couldn’t do or believe in, my marriage would also be in the crapper.
Perhaps the marriage is down the tubes due to her being an uber control freak.
🙄
I’m with the other arms commentators. Look at the state of them!!!! Is the woman too busy massaging her own ego to take a look in full length mirror and ask: What’s wrong with this picture? If Guy has to fill out an affidavit citing unreasonable spousal behaviour it should just read “Her upper limbs.”
That’s Guy in the corner;
That’s Guy in the spot – light
Loooosing her religion….
WHAT??? You were all thinking it! 😆 😆
Are those track marks? C’mon, Madonna, you’re supposed to shoot up between your fingers and toes so we won’t see it! Even Amy knows that!
Mandy, don’t tell me I’ve been doing it wrong all these years
if Guy is getting out of kabbalah, what happens to rocco and the religion?
madonna’s man-arms have been her worst body part yet she always accentuates and flaunts them- yuck
guy needs to detox with some cute,curvy gal who is not entering menopause
I’ll own up to that Mairead .. darn funny! And seriously .. the older Madonna gets the more scary she gets. She is now officially the walking personification of the word “Severe.” YIKES!
I think that as long as I am secure in my own faith, what anyone else chooses is not my business.
Guy Ritchie ended Madonna’s marriage.
I look at it this way – she’s an almost-50 year old woman, no longer able to have biological children of her own, who knows that almost every single person in the world has, from the start of her marriage, waited for it with licked chops to fail. I don’t believe for a second that she didn’t fight tooth and nail to hang on to her husband, even if it meant spending the rest of her life living in separate beds and separate rooms. Madonna is Madonna: capable of living under the most miserable and soul-sucking conditions in order to present a perfect face and image to the world. She would have been – not happy, but content, to live with Guy as long and as miserably as possible, merely to save face. This is a very fragile woman who pushes herself to inhuman limits and embraces pain in order to preserve her image: look at her body and her face in that photo. She does what she has to: fuck happiness, and anyone else, to boot.
Guy, however, is a 40 year old man who is still quite capable of having his own children, and in the prime of his life. Yes, I’m being harsh and sexist – but I’m a 45 year old woman, so I know the score. There’s no reason for him to stay chained to this woman – he can still get married to someone else (who lets him have his voice), start a family, restart his career, and have a glorious life. He won’t have that with Madonna, and he doesn’t need to stay put. He comes from money, and he doesn’t need hers (he never did). Regardless of the outcome, he’ll be fine. Madonna will not. Oh, she’ll continue to have a phenomenal career. But whatever balance she’s been seeking in life, she’ll never find – she can’t, because she’s “Madonna”. This is who she is.
Good lord! She looks worse than she did even just a few months ago. I strength train regularly myself, and know women at my gym who lift weights 6-7 days a week and don’t look anything like that. It ain’t natural.
I read somewhere recently that Madonna said she works out 3 hours a day and would work out more if she could. She looks really really strange. I think the term severe was a good description…
No public split until Madge adopted her baby, I see.
I agree with Livia. Madonna is still living in the 1980s, when she was cute and hot. The only other woman I can think of who has aged as ungracefully as Madonna is Cher.
Madonna has always done everything to the extreme, and I’ve never found her particularly talented or special. She stopped hanging out with Britney, allegedly, because Brit gave up Kabbalah. Poor Guy, first Madge ruined a very, very promising career because of her “acting”, now because he isn’t into her “cult” he’s getting the boot. I feel sorry for her kids. I would rather have Any Whinehouse as a parent than Madonna, because it’s easier to run from a bottle being flung at you head, then to run from having a 4000 year old, 5 foot thick Kabbalah book rammed down your throat.
Tracey: If I had to pick between Madge and Wino, I would definitely take Madge. I could pretend to believe whatever she believed but there just ain’t no living with a crackhead. Seriously, have you seen what some crackheads do???
I am thinking the demise or imminent demise of her marriage has less to do with the Kabbalah, and more to do with her having the arms of a man, the ego of Napoleon, the emasculation of Guy and her fake British accent spouting her adopted intellect.
What’s wrong with respecting the differences in your partner? My husband and I aren’t the same religion, but celebrate both. So it’s not the religion that’s causing the divorce but the lack of respect for each others differences.
Guy just got tired of having a wife with a dick and huge balls.
Whatevah !! just PLEASE let her stay across the pond. the US does NOT want her back here…..
I just noticed that her shirt in the pic has the Hebrew letters “lamed,” “alef,” and “vav,” or “lav.” It’s not really a word, but one of the Hebrew names of God. This isn’t like a “Jesus is my homeboy” tshirt, because most devout Jews believe that God’s name is too sacred to speak or even write, and it may appear to some that Madonna is actually referring to herself as God. I guess that misappropriating the name of one of Judaism’s greatest heroines (Queen Esther) wasn’t enough…
You people are f’ing nuts.Bitch looks good. She has always had man hands. I have never been a fan of hers but you people have no imagination. She could have anyone….this guy always seemed boring to me. So what if she’s menopausal…..stupid breeders-popping out another brat is not necessary to have a relationship. As far as the stupid religion stuff….well that says it all.
Livia and penelope gave an insighful synopsis. It must be hell living with a control freak that is immersed in a cultish religion. Can’t get much worse than that I imagine. Also, Guy’s movie magic started slipping the moment he married Madonna. And yeah, I’m in the camp that thinks it must not be much fun to be in the sack with someone that feels like your “best mate” instead of a soft curvy women. And don’t get on me for it, because I am also an older woman that,through luck, has kept my thin figure without being all sharp and tightly wound beyond reason.
So now I am guessing that all the recent plastic surgery was a way to keep her man from wandering and not so much a way to keep her career alive. Pure speculation of course, but it was sad to see her falling into that trap.
Guy is hot and viable and he will move on. I hope for the children’s sake that they won’t have to be across the pond from each other. This must also cause much upset in David’s life. Perhaps he was better off with his father after all. I hope it will give other starlets pause.
I think that Kabbalah will end up being the “primal scream therapy” of the 21st century, here today, gone tomorrow. Maybe a replacement religion/cult will spring up based on eating only bugs, living in the desert, wearing clothes inside out and using pig latin as the offical form of communitcation with other members. Of course other worshippers can be identified by the bracelet they wear of their own pubic hair woven around a rainbow colored piece of yarn. One would be defined as a long time worshipper by the thickness of the bracelet, either that or they’ve gotten a leg up because of their ethnicity.
George Harrison once described Madonna, while he was directing her and then husband Sean Penn in the horrible Shanghai Surprise, as “a drop of talent in an ocean of ambition”. That pretty much describes her to a tee, and living with someone that pathologically self-centered and controlling must be taking its toll on the marriage. Guy deserves fright pay for every year he’s been married to her. He deserves better.
The nore recent pictures of Guy show him looking incredibly older than he should, I blame this on her Madd-justy. What hoops he must have to jump through, come on now, it’s got to be hell on earth.
And to comment on the George Harrison quote, if George said it then it’s got to be true since he seemed like the one Beatle that was able to stay above the fray.
Lastly, it must suck to be Madonna. Take away her money and what is she left with (besides her children)????????? Fame is a whore and always suspect. She can’t deny that her body is starting to betray her, hence the constant work-outs and the E ticket to ride the plastic surgery train.
I have reading it. I have need of to learn more on this subject.. Thanks in return writing this amazing post.. Anyway, I am gonna subscribe to your silage and I desire you post again soon.
