But they looked so happy together . . .

adonna and Guy Ritchie released a joint statement today saying the statement put out on Monday by Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg which claimed Guy Ritchie was receiving between 50 and 60 million pounds in a settlement was inaccurate:

"We have tried to maintain a dignified silence regarding the details of our divorce for the last few months whilst accepting the obvious media interest. A misleading and inaccurate statement, specifically in relation to the sums of money involved, was wrongly issued to AP this week. The financial details of the settlement will remain private, save to say that both of us are happy with our agreement. Our primary concern, like any co-parents, is the care and well being of our children." (Source)

Holy shit, Madonna is such a transparent bitch. Liz Rosenberg issued the statement about the settlement. Liz Rosenberg works for Madonna. Who do you think told Liz to issue the statement? HINT: It was Madonna. Publicists aren't in the business of releasing statements about their clients that haven't been approved by the clients. That's how they become ex-publicists. Madonna, you're not gonna generate any sympathy for yourself. No one feels sorry that you lost almost $100 million to your ex-husband. The public is on Guy's side and that ain't gonna change unless he goes and joins Al Qaeda. Even then, I'd have to really think about it.
