Madonna’s ex set to get $75 million in settlement
Madonna has settled her divorce with ex-husband Guy Ritchie by also parting with at least 50 million pounds ($76 million), the singer’s spokeswoman said Monday.
Liz Rosenberg told The Associated Press the settlement was in the range of 50 million to 60 million pounds ($76 million to $92 million) as part of their divorce agreement, a figure she said included the value of the couple’s country home, Ashcombe House in western England, which Ritchie will keep.
Rosenberg said the couple’s west London pub — the Punchbowl — would also remain with Ritchie.

Coincidence?
Madonna and Alex Rodriguez were both spotted in Mexico City last weekend.
The two have not confirmed their romance. But they reportedly had their public “coming out” Nov. 26, when, according to E!, the Yankees third baseman handed Madonna a water bottle during her Miami concert.
They also apparently met up on Thanksgiving, after Rodriguez fulfilled his family obligations.
When asked what he thought about being in the capital city the same time as his rumored paramour, the baseball star would only say it was “very good,” the Associated Press reports.

Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez and his gal pal Madonna both came to Mexico City Sunday.
So was it coincidence, coordinated scheduling or the power of kabbalah that brought them together?

Although the two were not seen in public together, the paparazzi had their telephoto lenses ready in case A-Rod showed up for Madonna’s soldout “Sticky & Sweet” gig Sunday night at Mexico City’s Foro Sol stadium.- from NYdaily
