Madonna avec Guy Ritchie pour les vacances.

20 December 2009 14:06

Madonna will be reunited with ex-husband Guy Ritchie as the former husband and wife celebrate Christmas with their children, according to a new report.
It was previously reported the Snatch director would be looking after sons Rocco and David Banda and daughters Mercy James and Lourdes over the holidays.
But now it appears a full family reunion will take place as the Material Girl jets into Britain with the kids so they can spend Christmas Day (25Dec09) with the filmmaker at his country estate in Wiltshire, England.
A source tells Britain's Mail on Sunday, "Madonna is flying in for 24 hours so Guy can spend Christmas Day with the children. Things are amicable between them and the children love Christmas at Ashcombe House in Wiltshire, which Guy has turned into a Santa's grotto."
The stars' divorce was finalised in January (09).

Madonna is reportedly set to spend Christmas with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie.
According to Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper, the Holiday singer is bringing the couple’s children Rocco and David Banda, her adopted daughter Mercy James, and her eldest child Lola, to see Guy for a traditional Christmas at his country estate.
“Madonna is flying in for 24 hours so Guy can spend Christmas Day with the children,” a source said.

Guy Ritchie Looking Forward to Christmas With The Kids
Dec 16 2009. Posted by Richard Head
Guy Ritchie is overjoyed to be spending Christmas Day with his children.
The Sherlock Holmes director — who has nine-year-old son Rocco and adopted Malawian son David Banda with ex-wife Madonna — is going all out to make the day “traditional” and special for the youngsters after the pop superstar gave permission for them to spend the day at his home.
“Guy is really pleased, and cannot quite believe he and Madonna came to such an amicable arrangement,” a source said. “He is a huge fan of Christmas and wants to do everything by the book, very traditionally.”
The British filmmaker is so determined to make the day memorable, he has promised to rustle up a delicious roast turkey lunch with all the trimmings and “spoilt them rotten”.
“This means stockings hanging from under the kids’ beds, presents under the tree and a massive turkey, Brussels sprouts, chestnuts, the works,” the source added.
“When Guy and Madonna were together they didn’t really celebrate Christmas Day due to Madonna’s staunch Kabbalah beliefs. Now that he’s a single man, Guy is determined to spoil them rotten and give the youngsters a Christmas they’ll never forget.”
Madonna — who also has daughter Lourdes, 13, and four-year-old adopted daughter Mercy – and Guy announced they were to divorce in October 2008 after almost eight years of marriage.
It is not clear whether the girls will also be invited to Guy’s Christmas bash.
Guy’s attitude to Christmas is very different to when he was married to the Holiday hitmaker.
In 2007 he revealed that the family didn’t give each other gifts.
“We canceled Christmas a few years ago,” he has said. “Stopped all the presents. And ever since we stopped the presents, we’re actually enjoying it.”

Madonna continue d'acheter.

17 December 2009 19:26

Pop superstar Madonna is delving back into the property market, just days after spending $10 million (£6.25 million) on a horse farm in New York - she's eyeing a $4.4 million (£2.75 million) house nearby for her stable hands to live in.
The Material Girl paid the eight figure sum for Wild Ocean Farm in the Hamptons, buying the 30 acres of land from designer Calvin Klein's wife Kelly.
There's no house on the farm and planning laws prohibit the star from building on the land - forcing her to look elsewhere for somewhere to house her staff.
According to the New York Post, Madonna has set her sights on a four bedroom farmhouse close by, which is currently owned by Michael Minkoff, a friend of the singer's pal Gwyneth Paltrow.
The 1930s building boasts four bedrooms, a pool, poolhouse and two barns - and comes with a $4.4 million pricetag.

Madonna eyes house for the help

Madonna may be getting closer to achieving her dream of becoming lady of the manor, in Bridgehampton horse country. Last week, we reported that the Material Mom is buying Kelly Klein’s horse farm (450 Mitchells Lane) in a brokerless deal for less than $10 million, along with an adjacent horse farm at 10 Mitchells Lane. At the moment, the 50 or so acres are for horses only — no home can be built on the land.
But we hear that Madonna is eyeing a nearby house, at 549 Mitchells Lane, for her hired hands. It’s on the market for $4.4 million and is listed by a broker who has represented Madonna pal Gwyneth Paltrow. The owner, architectural designer (and Gwynnie friend) Michael Minkoff, is known for buying East End fixer-uppers.
The 2-acre property, which abuts a reserve, is called Shady Maple Farm and includes a renovated 1930s farm house with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a pool, pool house and two barns that could be used for entertaining or as dance studios.

Les fonctionnaires britanniques ont mis des restrictions sur le pub de Guy Ritchie.

By RAPHAEL G. SATTER, Associated Press Writer – 17/12/2009

LONDON – Officials in a London neighborhood have a message for the celebrity patrons who flock to Guy Ritchie's watering hole: Take it inside.
Residents of west London's wealthy Mayfair neighborhood complained that the 41-year-old filmmaker had transformed The Punch Bowl from a pleasant 18th century Georgian pub into a loud and paparazzi-plagued celebrity hangout.
The City of Westminster Council, which regulates the area's drinking establishments, ordered Ritchie and his co-proprietors Thursday to keep patrons indoors after 8 p.m. and to scale down their private parties. Employees have also been told to make hourly checks outside for glasses and litter.
"We are absolutely not against pubs," Ward Councilor Glenys Roberts told a committee convened to consider action against the pub. "We are not even against The Punch Bowl except that it has changed dramatically in its nature."
Ritchie, who wrote and directed "Snatch" and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," took over The Punch Bowl in early 2008 along with business partners Piers Adam and Guy Pelly. He and his then-wife Madonna were the venue's most famous regulars.
The refurbished pub has since drawn a stream of stars, but residents have complained about noisy crowds, traffic jams, trash and public urination. Three residents demanded that local authorities review the pub's license.
The residents' lawyer Leo Charalambides told the hearing that The Punch Bowl had changed "from a 'ye olde local' English pub into something that's really internationally recognized on the A-list party circuit and by those who would like to get some of the glamor of going to such a venue."
He added that pub regulars were members of the "leisure classes" who could afford to "cause a nuisance on seven days of the week."
Ritchie was not at the hearing — the pub's lawyer Julian Skeen said he was working on a new movie — but his associate Adam said he was satisfied with the ruling.

Les rumeurs tourbillonnent au sujet de Madonna achetant une ferme de chevaux à Bridgehampton.

Publication: The East Hampton Press & The Southampton Press

Rumors continue to swirl that pop icon Madonna is intent on purchasing a Bridgehampton horse farm.
Though no papers have yet been signed, according to a local real estate heavy hitter who spoke on condition of anonymity, the singer is in fact close to buying the 26-acre Wild Ocean Farm on Mitchell Lane in Bridgehampton to house several of her horses. But the insider stressed that the private deal between current owner Kelly Klein, the ex-wife of designer Calvin Klein, and her friend and fellow horsewoman, Madonna, could be killed due to rampant gossip and intense press speculation.
Earlier this year, the singer changed her main locale from London, where she had shared a home with husband Guy Ritchie, to the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where she purchased an apartment. She’s been a somewhat regular visitor to the East End lately and this past April, she was injured in a fall while riding horseback at photographer Steven Klein’s West Kill Farm in Bridgehampton.
The Mitchell Lane property owned by Ms. Klein was once owned by neighbor and lifetime East Ender Benny Graboski. His mother and father purchased the land in 1928 after settling in this country from Poland and used it grow potatoes, once the most prolific crop on the East End.
Mr. Graboski took over the family farm in 1955 after his father died. He later sold the 26-acre agriculture-restricted plot to actress Stefanie Powers, best known for her role as Jennifer Hart in the television series “Hart to Hart,” and her cousin, Geri Bauer.
Ms. Powers and Ms. Bauer kept horses on the property, as has Ms. Klein. And since the land is zoned restricted for agricultural use only, and not residential use, Madonna will not be allowed to build a house on the land should she purchase the plot.
Mr. Graboski expressed regard for the horse people who have been his neighbors over the last several years, and also for the person who might be the newest addition to the area. “While recent owners have been high profile, the horse farm operations have been low key. The horses have been well taken care of and the barns and paddocks have been very well maintained,” he said. “They have been very good neighbors and I’m sure that will carry on with Madonna. We welcome her to the neighborhood.”
There has also been talk that Madonna is interested in purchasing an adjoining 23-acre property as well. That piece of land is currently in contract for a joint purchase by Suffolk County and Southampton Town, according to Southampton Town Councilwoman Nancy Graboski, who is married to Benny Graboski.
During a telephone interview on Monday morning, George Simpson, owner of Suffolk Research Service, reported that no deed had yet been filed on the property, but he added that the arrival of Madonna is nothing but good news for the East End.
“That’s what feeds the Hamptons is celebrity,” he said. “If P. Diddy throws a party, then the price of real estate goes up.”

Madonna is buying the rights that would allow her to bring her horses to Wild Ocean Farm a horse farm in Bridgehampton - or even grow crops there - the very 26-acre property where she fell off a horse in April, a real estate broker said.
She's not buying the land but just the agricultural rights from model Kelly Klein, designer Calvin Klein's ex.

Madonna Buying New York Horse Farm?
10 December 2009 16:16
Madonna is putting down deep roots back in the U.S. - the pop star is reportedly close to buying a horse farm in New York in her second real-estate deal this year (09).
The Material Girl moved back Stateside following her split from her ex-husband, British filmmaker Guy Ritchie, last year (08), and bought a posh townhouse on Manhattan's Upper East Side for a reported $32 million (£20 million).
According to the New York Post, the singer is expanding her property portfolio with a new purchase in the Hamptons - a star-studded vacation spot a few hours outside of the city - for just under $10 million (£6.25 million).
Wild Ocean Farm, currently owned by Kelly Klein - the wife of fashion mogul Calvin Klein - boasts 30 acres of land. There is no house on the land.

East Enders have a new star in their midst.
Madonna, who earlier this year purchased (as we first reported) an Upper East Side townhouse that closed for around $32 million, is now finally buying her dream horse farm in the Hamptons.
Word is that Madonna is buying Kelly Klein’s horse farm, Wild Ocean Farm, at 450 Mitchells Lane in Bridgehampton for under $10 million. The north-of-the-highway property includes 30 acres of land, but there’s no house there. There might be a groom’s apartment, but that would be it in terms of living space, brokers with knowledge of the farm say.
Klein, the ex-wife of Calvin Klein, had used the farm’s indoor and outdoor rings to train show horses. A few months ago, she quietly put the word out that she was willing to sell the property. And we hear the deal with Madonna was done without a broker.
Madonna is also attempting to purchase an additional 24 acres that about the property at 1151 Millstone Road, which is listed for $2.4 million. (It’s also known as 10 Mitchells Lane).
That price might sound cheap, but internal broker notes reveal that Suffolk County either bought the land’s development rights or is in the process of buying them. This means that Madge could ride her horses there but likely could not build a home on the land.

La première maison de Madonna: "Comme une Horreur".

Last Update: 11/19 9:24 pm
(ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. (WXYZ) - The childhood home of superstar Madonna is coming under scrutiny as the house has become run down and the current owner is being held responsible.
To paraphrase one of Madonna's hit songs, the home in Rochester Hills has become "Like an Eyesore."  To Juliette Dedaj, it was her dream house, not because Madonna grew up there, but because it was a symbol of a better way of life for her family. But two years ago, an arson fire and an ongoing battle with her insurance company forced Dedaj, her husband and two children to move out. Meanwhile, the home has fallen into disrepair, and the city of Rochester Hills ordered Juliette into court.
The boarded up windows must be replaced and the home brought up to code, or else the family will be fined $100 a day. Although the home has been sold several times since Madonna moved out, Juliette's family is only the second family to actually live here, and she says before the fire, at least one of Madonna's relatives stopped by to reminisce.
"Her sister did come by, she wanted to see the house," Dedaj said. "And I've had several different people from the media come by, (they) wanted to do stories on it."
Dedaj says she has money to bring the house up to code, but without insurance, it will be hard to move back in.

Rocco Ritchie Rich

Madonna's son Rocco and David Beckham's son Cruz are predicted to become the richest celebrities in Britain when they grow up.
Madonna and David Beckham's sons are forecast to become the richest celebrities in Britain.
Youngsters Rocco Ritchie, nine, and Cruz Beckham, four, are tipped to have the most earning power in a new report which assessed the estimated worth of today's celebrity children in 20 years time.
Rocco, son of the 'Celebration' singer and film director Guy Ritchie, topped the four categories in the report - star quality, likely inheritance, talent and love of the camera - getting ratings of ten out of ten for each.
The report also estimated Rocco to be worth £376 million before he reaches 30.
Celebrity expert Mark Frith said: "Rocco will earn a fortune from his mother and a fair bit from dad. But it's the other three rankings that power him to the number one place."
Cruz - whose mother is former Spice Girl turned fashion designer Victoria Beckham - beat siblings Romeo, seven, and Brooklyn, ten, to second place in the list.
Both Rocco and Cruz scored highly because they have been spotted dancing at their mother's concerts.
None of Rocco's other siblings - sister Lourdes and adopted brother and sister David and Mercy - featured on the list.
British royals, Princes William and Harry, came ninth and tenth on the list - compiled by Cartoon Network - with estimated fortunes of just under £200 million each, but were both embarrassingly awarded zero out of ten for showbiz talent.

Cartoon Network's Power Pups of the Future, top ten future celebs:
1. Rocco Ritchie £376 million
2. Cruz Beckham £341 million
3. Damian Hurley £330 million
4. Coco Sumner £315 million
5. Lizzy Jagger £310 million
6. Junior Andre £302 million
7. Romeo Beckham £271 million
8. Brooklyn Beckham £251 million
9. Prince Harry Wales £198 million
10. Prince William Wales £178 million
