Rumours of Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s divorce are “total tosh” - that’s Brit-speak for “rubbish” - says Guy Ritchie’s mother. Allegations of Madonna and Guy Ritchie seeing respective lawyers about the divorce are “works of fiction” said Lady Amber Leighton.

Gossip has been circulating that Madonna whose fortune is estimated to be over 300 million pounds has been talking to celebrity lawyer Fiona Shackleton who handled Sir Paul McCartney’s divorce. Amidst all this, there are reports of Guy Ritchie planning a very elaborate party for Madonna’s 50th birthday in 2 months time.

Madonna is currently promoting her album “Hard Candy” and her world tour, set to start in Europe in August while Guy Ritchie has been editing his new gangster movie RocknRolla, due to be released in September.

Madonna has three children – Lourdes, 11, by former personal trainer Carlos Leon, Guy Ritchie’s son Rocco, seven, and David, two, who was adopted from Malawi.

Amy Winehouse Does Not Have Emphysema

June 24th, 2008 emigre Posted in Showbiz 4 Comments »

In an earlier report: Amy Winehouse hospitalized again, her father Mitch told the tabloids that Amy Winehouse was diagnosed with emphysema. But now it seems that it’s not as serious as it was made out to be.

Mitch Winehouse has told the BBC his daughter has just traces of emphysema, caused by her smoking and drug-taking.

He says, “”Amy really hasn’t got emphysema. There’s traces of emphysema. Obviously, if she doesn’t quit smoking it’s gonna get worse as with everybody else.”

Amy Winehouse will supposedly play Nelson Mandela’s 90th Birthday Concert on Friday and Glastonbury - with an ambulance on standby, says this report.

A friend reveals, “After everything Amy has been through, her main fear is that she has lost her lucky pendant containing a lock of hubby Blake’s hair. Amy is desperate to find it because she reckons she can only perform at her best when she’s wearing it.”

Could that “lucky pendant” also happen to contain some crack?
