Guy Ritchie thinks Madonna’s retarded, but he still loves her

It’s been less than a year since Guy Ritchie and Madonna split up after eight years of marriage, however, in a recent interview with Esquire Ritchie, the director of the upcoming Sherlock Holmes said “And, of course, here you go: I still love her, But she’s retarded, too,”.

He still admires Madonna if the following statement is any indication – “She’s a manifester, if there ever was one,” he says. “First-rate manifester. Madonna makes things happen. Put Madonna up against any 23-year-old, she’ll outwork them, outdance them, outperform them.”

Even though he admires his ex-wife he doesn’t have any of her music on his iPod. Even so, he always thought of Madonna as his wife first, and so did their hometown of London. “Madonna, when she came in here, it was old-school London,” Ritchie says. “No one bothered her. ‘Hello, darling. How are you, darling? What can we get you?’ It was fundamental, old-school. It didn’t matter who she was. She was my wife.”

In the interview he implies that Madonna was partially responsible for his biggest flop as a director due to her part in 2002′s Swept Away in which Madonna starred as a shipwrecked trophy wife. It was a box office disaster!

Ritchie said “My sensibility is accessible. The first two accessible movies I made, Lock, Stock [and Two Smoking Barrels] and Snatch, they are accessible,” he says. “The next two aren’t accessible … Swept Away, which, well, everyone gets confused on, because of Madonna.”

Bobby Brown recovering from mild heart attack

bobby_brown.jpg Did you hear the news about Bobby Brown? He was hospitalized on Tuesday after having a mild heart attack.

His rep, Phaedra Parks, stated that he’s in great spirits and that he hopes to perform this weekend at the V100 Taste of Soul concert and festival in Los Angeles. Hello … he just had a heart attack. Cancel the gig!

Bobby is only 40 years old! I wonder if all the partying and drugs like coke caught up with him.

On Tuesday afternoon Brown began to feel chest pains and he was rushed to the hospital. By Wednesday morning he apparently “has a great prognosis from his doctors” said his rep. He was even expected to be released later that day.

Brown is still going through divorce and custody proceedings with Whitney Houston, 44. Their next court date is scheduled for October, 22nd.

Applegate’s divorce final

It’s been confirmed that Christina Applegate’s divorce from her husband Johnathon Schaech, actor, has been finalized.

The couple were married for four years, but were possibly not together that whole time as the decision to end their marriage took place in December 2005.

Schaech, 37, had cited irreconcilable differences. The split seems to have occurred without the usual divorce squabbles that we often hear about. Applegate is apparently worth about 6 million while Schaech is worth 2 million. They didn’t bicker over splitting property although he asked for custody of his cement Buddha.

Christina Applegate is set to appear in a new television show this fall called “Samantha Who?” on ABC. She’s most famous for her role as Kelly Bundy in Married with Children.
