More Madonna and Guy divorce rumours:
Reports have emerged this morning which claim that Madonna definitely wants a divorce from husband Guy Ritchie. The Queen of Pop, who has been married to the British director for seven years, allegedly told her husband, "I'm sorry. I want a divorce." A friend of the couple has revealed that Guy agreed to her request, but he is unhappy about it. "It was quite painless, but very sad," explained the pal. The couple have allegedly admitted to each other that they've simply grown apart, but they both want to end thing amicably. Guy has contacted a top lawyer, while Madonna has reportedly been in talks with Fiona Shackleton – the same lady who represented Sir Paul McCartney during his divorce from Heather Mills. Another friend went on to say, "They both got tired of the fighting. They became exhausted." Guy has also recently decided to quit Kabbalah – the mystical Jewish religion – which Madge is thoroughly dedicated to. A source close to the director confirmed, "Guy has turned his back on Kabbalah once and for all. It has always been her [Madonna's] thing." Madge and Guy are yet to comment on the stories surrounding them, but friends say their welfare of their children are the top priority.

Matt and Flavia split
They fell in love in front of the nation during Strictly Come Dancing, but now Matt Di Angelo and Flavia Cacace's romance has come to an end. The former EastEnders star fell for sexy Flavia when the pair were teamed up for the BBC dancing show, and their chemistry helped win them a place in the final. At the time they met, Flavia was still with her boyfriend of 11 years – fellow dancer Vincent Simone – but she soon left him to shack up with hunky Matt. Vincent said at the time, "He has her now – my life is in ruins." The couple spent every day together during the filming of the show, and their relationship became very intense straight away. Talking about the split last night, a source said, "It's a huge shock to everyone and they're both devastated it's over." The couple stayed together as the Strictly live tour went around the country, but since that ended Flavia has been back dancing with her ex Vincent, and this put a strain on their relationship. Matt has recently been spotted having cosy drinks with recently separated Michelle Heaton. Perhaps they're drowning their sorrows together?

Charlotte: “Only Gav can drink me under the table”
Charlotte Church has revealed that only her boyfriend can drink her under the table. The pregnant singer said, "I've never found someone that can drink me under the table. I probably never will. Maybe Gavin, but that's it." But the young mum claims she doesn't approve of binge drinking, adding, "I don't advocate binge drinking, but it happens." But Charlotte, who has just revealed she is expecting baby number two, says that being brought up in Cardiff made her a hardened drinker, saying, "The girls in Cardiff can drink – me, mainly. A typical night out there is genius."

Amy prepares for comeback
Amy Winehouse will show that she's back on track by performing in front of 60,000 people this weekend. The troubled singer will drag herself from her hospital bed to perform at Nelson Mandela's birthday concert tonight, and then on Saturday has been asked to join Jay-Z on stage at Glastonbury. Fans have been worried that Amy would be too sick to perform and organisers became panicked when she failed to turn up for a photocall with Mandela as well as missing a birthday meal on Wednesday night. But Amy looks set to take the stage by storm alongside Jay-Z, his wife Beyonce, Coldplay's Chris Martin and Rolling Stones guitar legend Keith Richards. A source said, "Jay-Z wants an amazing headline show and has gone through his address book to ask famous friends to join him. He thinks Amy is fantastic and thought it would be the perfect chance to work with her."
