Jemima Khan Is Dating Guy Ritchie

The demise of Jemima Khan's relationship with Hugh Grant does not appear to have scared her away from men in the public eye. Mandrake can disclose that Sir James Goldsmith's 33-year-old daughter has struck up an intriguing friendship with Guy Ritchie."They have become very fond of each other," says one mutual chum.

The film director, 40, announced his separation from Madonna in October after eight years of marriage. The couple were granted a divorce at the High Court in London last month and their decree nisi is soon expected to become a decree absolute. Madonna, 50, said they had not been living at the same address for the previous six months.

Last week, Ritchie and Jemima attended a dinner party at the Notting Hill home of Matthew Freud, the founder of Freud Communications, at which Sting's wife, Trudie Styler was also a guest. Trudie had introduced Ritchie to Madonna at a dinner party at her house in Wiltshire in 1999. Mandrake understands that Ritchie was, however, introduced to Jemima by Arpad "Arki" Busson, the financier and former boyfriend of Elle Macpherson.Jemima, who has two sons from her marriage to Imran Khan, is keen to play down any suggestions of a romance.

Madonna Turns to Sean Penn After Quickie Divorce

Who do you turn to before your quickie divorce is finalized? If you are Madonna, you go to another ex-husband, Sean Penn.The singer and Penn were spotted having drinks at the Greenwich Hotel in Manhattan on Wednesday night. “They have a nice rapport,” says the source. “There’s nothing romantic there. They’re just good friends.”And in other non-shocking news, Madge is apparently not at all heartbroken about the break-up. Duh.

“It’s a sad situation, but she’s not heartbroken,” says the source, who saw the 50-year-old icon hours before a London court granted the couple a preliminary “quickie divorce” on Friday. “She’s handling it well.”If handling it well means hooking up with hottie Alex Rodriguez and hanging out with exes like Sean Penn, then yeh, Madonna’s doing great.

Madonna Worked Out Settlement With Guy Ritchie

Pop sensation Madonna worked out a visitation arrangement with soon-to-be ex-husband Guy Ritchie, but it came with an interesting list of demands.As Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s divorce saga rages on, the Material Mom set up visitation between her movie making soon-to-be ex and his sons, Rocco and David. The visit came with a laundry list of rules Madonna was demanding be met in order for the kids to hop the pond back to dad. Madonna emailed the following list to Guy prior to the visit:

– Under no circumstances should they be allowed to read newspapers, magazines, or watch TV or DVDs.

– They must adhere at all times to a macrobiotic, vegetarian, organic diet with no processed or refined food.

– All water they drink, even when it is to dilute organic juice, should be Kabbalah water.

– They should wear the clothes Madonna has sent with them on the flight. If they need to be bought anything, they should not contain any man-made fibers.

– Their hands should be regularly cleaned with disinfectant spray if they are in public places.

– They should not be bought toys that are spiritually or ethically unsound.

– Guy should not discuss the separation with them.

– Madonna should have phone contact with the boys as much as three or four times a day at times set by her.

– The boys should not be introduced to Guy’s new friends, especially any new female friends.

– Madonna has encouraged the access to give him time with the boys, rather than his parents spending large amounts of time with them.

– The boys should not be photographed while with Guy. It is his responsibility to organize security so that does not happen.

– At bedtime, Guy should read David the English Rose books Madonna wrote.

The second to last point was violated upon the kids arrival in London, as photogs were all over the scene. Eight year old Rocco, Guy and Madonna’s biological son, was reportedly thrilled to see his dad. An witness to the reunion said:

“Rocco shouted, ‘Dad!’ in the loudest voice. Both he and David were smiling. Guy literally threw his coffee aside to free up his hands and run over. You could tell they were all so excited to see each other.”I don’t find Madonna’s list of insane demands that surprising, given recent news of a “marriage contract” she made Guy agree to when they wed almost 8 years ago.

The children seem to be the biggest hurdle to finalizing the divorce between Madonna and Guy. She would reportedly like to relocate to New York, where she has an apartment and where daughter Lourdes’ father lives. Guy, obviously, wants them to stay in London. In order for Madonna to officially move the kids out of the country, Guy would have to agree to it or an English court would have to grant her leave.

Madonna & Guy Ritchie Divorce Scandal!

Are Madonna and Guy Ritchie heading towards a divorce? According to Holy Moly they are and Madonna is already gearing up. She has hired the best divorce attorney money can buy, Nicholas Mostyn QC. Mostyn has handled high profile cases such as Paul McCartney and Heather Mills divorce, Earl Spencer, and Ray Parlour.

According to reports Madonna and Guy have just grown apart. With her album promotions and his reincarnated movie career, the two just haven’t spent much time together. We have been hearing rumors of Madonna and Guy divorcing for months now, so it is not that huge of a shocker, if it is true. What is surprising though, is Holy Moly reports that there was no prenump in place, which gives Ritchie access to Madonna’s fortune. Madonna made about $72 million last year alone, so you can imagine how big her amassed wealth is.

Don’t expect this divorce to get dirty though. Madonna is a very private person, and for the sake of their children, they will most likely keep a low profile.Madonna and Guy have been married a little over eight years and have one biological child, Rocco and adopted child David Banda together. Madonna is also the mother to Lourdes, who was fathered b her fitness trainer, Carlos Leon.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie's Divorce Rumours!!

As a show of togetherness, Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s glittering red carpet parade at the Cannes Film Festival last week did little to scotch persistent rumours that their seven-year marriage is on the rocks.The superstar singer, resplendent in a sparkling black and white fitted sequined dress, was about to show her rather earnest documentary about the plight of Malawian orphans.But as she smiled and waved beguilingly at the assembled paparazzi, her husband stood woodenly by her side and could muster little more than a grimace.

Indeed, Guy gave every appearance of being a man who had been forced into his designer tuxedo and paraded at yet another high-octane celebrity party for the benefit of marital solidarity – when he would have preferred to be down the pub with his mates instead.But this was Madonna’s big event and Guy’s appearance, however reluctant, was part of a deal they have struck to support each other’s careers, even though their turbulent union is now based more on pragmatism than passion.As one observer put it: "They did not look like two people who were very happy in each other’s company. She looked frail and pale, like someone under tremendous strain, and he seemed utterly miserable."
