Madonna and Guy Ritchie announce their divorce
By JENNIFER QUINN, Associated Press WriterWed Oct 15, 2:26 PM ET
LONDON - After countless denials of domestic trouble, Madonna and Guy Ritchie announced Wednesday they are divorcing after nearly eight years of marriage.
The couple's announcement brings to an end a showbiz union that spanned the Atlantic and dominated the gossip columns.
Madonna — "Madge" to the British press — and her filmmaker husband were always greater tabloid fodder in England, where they lived. The pop star seemed to take to English life, spending much of her time at the couple's 1,200-acre country estate in Wiltshire, and to some ears, adopting a slight British accent.
But in recent years, reports began to accumulate that they were on the rocks. Over the summer, Madonna was linked — unfairly, she said — to the breakup of New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez and his ex-wife Cynthia.

Britney Spears' Return to the Glamourous Life
Marc MalkinWed Oct 15, 11:14 AM ET
Los Angeles (E! Online) - Another day, another step on the ladder for Britney Spears' return to the top.
The pop princess will appear on the cover of Glamour magazine's January issue, several sources exclusively tell me.
Back in early September, there were reports that Spears was shot by photographer Patrick Demarchelier for Vogue magazine. But as I told you, speculation eventually focused in on Glamour after a rep for Anna Wintour's fashion bible shot down the Vogue rumors.
A January issue of a major women's magazine like Glamour makes perfect sense. It will hit newsstands just about the same time Spears' new album, Circus, is released Dec. 2. Spears has also just signed a deal with live entertainment company AEG to produce her upcoming world tour.
She has appeared once before on the cover of Glamour, back in 2003 for its annual Women of the Year issue.
A music label rep for Spears did not comment. A rep for Glamour would not confirm or deny a Spears cover, because the magazine has a policy of not commenting on upcoming issues.
