Madonna Marriage in trouble???

The state of Madonna and Guy Ritchie's relationship has been fodder for the gossip pages for several months. But now, reports are heating up over their allegedly troubled marriage.
According to British paper the Daily Mail, the pair have been spending the majority of their time in Cannes away from one another. And when they were together, Ritchie looked like he was being "paraded at yet another high-octane celebrity party for the benefit of marital solidarity."Gossip blogger Perez Hilton even comments on photos of Madonna and Ritchie at the film festival, asking them to "try and look happy."Previously, her decision to have Nathan Rissman, the family's gardener and "manny," direct her documentary about Malawi, 'I Am Because We Are,' was supposed to have been a blow to Ritchie's ego. That injury is said to have been compounded by her insistence that their trip to Cannes be exclusively about her film work."Guy wanted to talk about his film on the red carpet but Madonna told him this was about her movie," said one observer. "She made it clear to Guy that this event was about her and his nose was put out of joint."

Divorce :Jones Files for Divorce From Reynolds

Former 'View' co-host Star Jones has ended her three-and-a-half year marriage to Al Reynolds.
Jones told press, "Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman."

The couple's wedding was highly publicized during Jones' time on 'The View,' where she took a lot of criticism for trying to get much of the ceremony and decorations for free with her celebrity status.

Yesterday, New York divorce attorney Stanford Lotwin (who worked on the high profile divorces of Howard Stern, Donald Trump and Diana Ross, among others) filed a notice of appearance with the courts. Upon learning of the filing, "Entertainment Tonight" producers discovered the original divorce decree.

Jones married Al Reynolds at Saint Bartholomew's Church in New York City on November 13, 2004. The wedding was an extravagant affair with 500 hundred guests, three matrons of honors, 12 bridesmaids and four flower girls. The lavish nuptials came under scrutiny when Star discussed her wedding's sponsors at length on her ABC show.

Star Jones was born Starlet Marie Jones in Badin, North Carolina. An attorney, she began her broadcasting career as a commentator on Court TV for the William Kennedy Smith rape trial and spent several years as a legal correspondent for NBC's The Today Show. She joined The View in 1997 and on June 27, 2006 announced she would be leaving the show. Most recently, Jones hosted her own show on cable's truTV (formerly Court TV). She has authored two books: You Have To Stand for Something, or You'll Fall for Anything and Shine.
