It’s not often that you see TWO of those hard boiled sexy English gangsters from Guy Ritchie’s “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch.” But apparently Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones are friends in real life. They had lunch at Cafe Med and joked with paparazzi about doing a gay movie together. We think they both look better with shaved heads.

Madonna has laid out the ground rules of her divorce and they include all the friends that she and Guy Ritchie share. Or DID share. According to the NY Post, Madonna has announced to all their shared friends that they must CHOOSE sides. They cannot continue to be friends with both parties. Among those caught in the middle of the split are Sting and his wife Trudie Styler – who introduced the Ritchies. Also, Sacha Baron Cohen and his wife Isla will have to pick a side. Madonna made this rule because she doesn’t want to share custody, or some other kind of information with a friend, and have it get back to Guy. It’ll be interesting to see who walks away with which friends.

Madonna paid a hasty visit to the Kabbalah center before she left for Toronto. Her brother Christopher is convinced that Kabbalah played a huge part in the breakup of her marriage. He thought Madonna dragged Guy into it, and depended on Kabbalah to hold their relationship together. Christopher was surprised their marriage lasted as long as it did. And he’s probably tickled pink that it’s finally over.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie have been living in limbo for months because they both felt their marriage was over, but didn’t know how or when to end it. Madonna wanted to postpone it until the end of her tour because that was convenient for HER. Meanwhile she’s had her exboyfriend (Lourdes’ father) Carlos Leon living in her New York apartment overseeing renovations in preparation for her living there. She and Carlos have become chummy of late. Guy didn’t like the fact that Madonna was trying to adopt an African baby girl even though their marriage was ending. He’s been happier than ever directing Sherlock Holmes in London and he finally asserted himself and insisted on announcing the split now and getting it over with. Friends say they have grown apart and are both better off separated – it’s the children who will complicate the divorce.

Guy Ritchie looks like he’s making a comeback. His RocknRolla was surprisingly entertaining, and now he’s filming Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr in the title role. Robert’s clothing makes him look less stuffy than the usual Holmes, and rather modern in a neo-romantic way. This photo was taken at a London location. Rachel McAdams is costarring with Jude Law as Dr Watson. Oh, and Mark Strong, that good looking guy who played Archie in RocknRolla is in it too.

Madonna was very careful to step back and let Guy Ritchie chat with the press at the London premier of his new movie RocknRolla. She’s looks like she’s wearing her heavy stage makeup and that red string to repel bad reviews. Guy looks cute, but rather nervous. He must be mighty pleased with himself for signing Robert Downey Jr to star in his upcoming Sherlock Holmes movie. Downey can do no wrong these days and has never been more popular.

And they said it wouldn’t last. Madonna celebrated her 50th birthday in London at the swanky Volstead Club with her husband Guy Ritchie by her side. Most of the press declared her marriage was OVER last month. Guess who has the last laugh? Madonna sexed up her look with big eyelashes, a sheer chiffon dress, and high boots.

Guy Ritchie did “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” and we fell in love with British gangsters. (We were also mad about “The Krays”) Here’s a trailer for Guy’s new gangster epic “RocknRolla” and we hope there are no hidden Kabbalah messages. Actually it looks like fun, even if Vinnie Jones isn’t in it. Check out the trailer.

The Ritchies showed family unity (minus David) this weekend by walking from their building to a nearby movie theater together. Lourdes brought along a lookalike friend and Madonna seemed to have more clothes on than anyone else on this warm day. Also we notice that in all her recent photos, Madonna’s hair looks like she just hopped out of the shower. What movie do you suppose they saw?

Bits and pieces of Christoper Ciccone’s book “Life with My Sister Madonna “ are leaking out, and it’s not as shocking as we hoped. Christopher admits that when her husband Guy Ritchie came into Madonna’s life, it was the death knell for Chris’s relationship with his sister. He describes Guy as a “man’s man” who isn’t bothered by homophobic humor. In other words he laughs at gay jokes. Not a good thing, but so far that’s the worst thing he’s said about Guy. He also thinks they won’t divorce because they are committed to staying married. Let’s hope the book is juicier than the leaks.
