Ritchie's Christmas list for Madonna

Guy Ritchie has reportedly told Madonna to follow a set of rules while the divorced couple spends Christmas together for the sake of their kids.

The 40-year-old had allegedly allowed the Queen of Pop to stay at his 12 million-pound country mansion in Wiltshire, England, after having “refused” to sleep under the same roof. The ''RocknRolla'' director was now said to have put in a word of caution for the singer “not to bully the staff, throw tantrums or mention their impending divorce,” reports the China Daily.

The Brit had further purportedly told the vegetarian ‘Material Girl’ not to be judgemental about children Lourdes, 12, Rocco, eight, and David Banda, three, for having the conventional Christmas lunch of turkey and ham.

Madonna, presently locked in a bitter custody battle for kids, had reportedly snubbed the festive family get together to meet her divorce lawyer after arriving in England with kids.

Madonna desperate for child custody

Pop diva Madonna, who has separated from hubby Guy Ritchie, has hired Paul McCartney's divorce attorney Fiona Shackleton to thrash out a child custody deal for her children Rocco and David.

Madonna snubbed a family get-together to talk to her divorce lawyer after flying back to Britain from her world tour, reports mirror.co.uk. “It didn't look like Madonna was that keen on having a family Christmas. The first thing she did when she arrived was have a meeting with her divorce lawyer,” a source close to the couple said.

Madonna and her ex-hubby were granted a divorce Nov 21 but are yet to finalise their custody arrangements for the children. The source added: “Guy and Madonna are keen to tie things up quickly so that they attract as little media attention as possible. They want to move on quickly for the sake of the kids.”

Madonna's 'intoxicated' with A-Rod

Popstar Madonna is reportedly “intoxicated” with her alleged beau Alex Rodriguez – but is not sure her feelings will last.
The 50-year-old singer is yet to officially confirm that she is dating the baseball star, reports the China Daily. "Alex and Madonna are very, very cosy. Yes, they are intimate, and they are intoxicated with one another. Alex can't get over that he's with Madonna,” a source said.

"This isn't a deep and serious love affair. It will last as long as Madonna wants it to. She could get five or six years out of it - but only if it's in her best interest to keep him around,” the source added.

The ‘4 Minute’ hitmaker and the Yankees slugger are not planning to move in together but do want to near each other in New York, according to reports.
