The guy here being Guy (Ritchie) of course. In a ‘world exclusive’ Wednesday’s Sun reports: ‘Madonna & Guy: We’re divorcing’. It continues: ‘A source said that the couple “can now barely bring themselves to say two words to each other”.’ In cases such as this, those two words presumably being: ‘That’s mine!’ Inside, the main article says that they ‘want a divorce finalised before Christmas’. Free bit of tax advice for Madge and Gadge, make sure any transfers of assets between you as part of a settlement are completed before 5 April 2009 to take advantage of the ability to make these at no gain/no loss in the year of permanent separation. In fact, Kevin Slevin’s article, 'Divorce made simple’ provides practical advice in circumstances such as these. By the way Kevin, I shall be expecting a commission if you get a call from Madge or Guy following this blog! Perhaps Guy will be getting a call from Michael Winner soon suggesting another 'divorceymoon' trip round Europe a la John Cleese. Two film directors must have plenty to talk about. You heard it here first.
