MADONNA IS WHIPPING UP THE RUMORS

Madonna Is Torturing Us

My God. I haven't done so many stories on Madonna since she tied Sean Penn to a chair in Manhattan. Rumors of a split between Madonna and her hubby are refusing to go away, despite the star issuing a statement dismissing speculation about a possible divorce. The couple has been under intense media scrutiny amid rumors they are allegedly on the verge of a permanent split. And the Material Girl’s publicist Liz Rosenberg attempted to set the record straight the other day with us, insisting that there are no plans for a wild divorce. But the statement has failed to quash speculation about the state of the pair’s marriage, with new reports coming in suggesting the star is putting off making an official announcement until after she has completed her upcoming Sweet & Sticky world tour later this year. A source tells the British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Trust me, it’s over. Why else would they both consult divorce lawyers ? Madonna hates being pushed into a corner and would hate other people having the satisfaction of saying, ‘We told you so.’ "The announcement will be slipped out after her tour, as planned." It would not be the first time the pop star has attempted to keep big news quiet. In 2006, at the height of speculation that Madonna was to adopt a child from Malawi, Rosenberg issued a statement on behalf of the singer vehemently denying the adoption rumors. Less than two weeks after issuing the denial, Madonna and Guy Ritchie filed adoption papers and brought baby David Banda back to the U.K. You know, Liz Rosenberg has never been honest with us when we were out shooting Madonna all over New York City in the old days. I'm starting to think there is something to this.

Madonna, please call me, you have my number !
