Sure, the mere fact that she was hangin’ with Guy and his sons doesn’t necessarily mean that anything of a romantic nature is going on but … I dunno. He’s a very attractive man, she’s an attractive woman. From what I understand about their relationship work-wise, he refers to her as his “rock”, especially in the wake of his divorce from Madonna. This may very well be what Guy’s new family looks like these days … and everyone looks very happy. Not too shabby, not too shabby at all.

Guy Ritchie enjoyed a boys’ day out with sons Rocco and David yesterday as he took the pair to see the Peter Pan play in Kensington Gardens. The casually dress trio arrived at the production with friends and three-year-old David clutched his film director father’s hand as they may their way inside. Ritchie, 40, was every inch the doting father and couldn’t stop smiling as he enjoyed some bonding time with his boys. The ex-husband of pop star Madonna has been looking after Rocco, eight, and David at his home in Wiltshire while she bonds with newly adopted daughter Mercy in London. Madonna’s oldest daughter Lourdes is also thought to be with them. The 50-year-old pop star is said to be determined not to ‘smother’ four-year-old Mercy.

It’s very obvious that divorce is never the best family option for families but many, many times it’s a circumstance that cannot be helped. It seems to me that Madonna and Guy are doing a very good job keeping the kids of paramount importance and ensuring that they are able to spend lots of quality time with both of their parents. It’s not like Guy has to be commended for spending time with his own children but it is a happy sight to see him so involved in their lives (well, as much as he can be considering that they now live with their mother an ocean away). Maddy will be bizzy with the resumption of her Sticky & Sweet Tour in just a couple of weeks … methinks that daddy Guy will be picking up some of the parental slack in the coming weeks and months.

Guy Ritchie certainly seems to be enjoying his status as an eligible bachelor. The Sherlock Holmes director, who has been linked to a number of high-profile women including Elle Mapherson and Jemima Khan, was spotted enjoyed a romantic beach stroll with a brunette in Los Angeles yesterday. The pair had dined together at Marmalade cafe before taking to the sand for a walk along the Malibu foreshore. Guy kept it casual in jeans, a T-shirt and knit vest, while his attractive companion looked a picture of Californian chic in a white maxi dress, cardigan and heels. It seems romance was on the agenda on the East Coast too, with Guy’s ex Madonna taking her toyboy Jesus Luz to a polo game in New York. The singer attended the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic in Manhattan with sons David Banda, 3, and Rocco, 7. They mingled with designer Marc Jacobs in the VIP section while watching Prince Harry compete in the charity match. Madonna, 50, did her best to look youthful in denim jeans, matching jacket and trilby hat while Jesus looked every inch a typical 22-year-old in trainers, tracksuit pants, a T shirt and Ed Hardy cap. Despite the model’s recent claims the two are ‘just friends’, they certainly looked more like lovers as they leaned into each other on their way home.

Just friends my ass … but, whatevs. I am very pleased to see that everyone is moving on and finding new happiness with new people. Life is too short to be bitter and lonely … I may give Madonna & Child grief sometimes (in a lovingly/joking manner) but I do wish them happiness. I wish the same for Guy, too! So glad to see new love blossom!

To be clear, Guy’s goodbye kiss with this woman looks totally innocent. He was prolly just thanking her for a lovely party and that was all. I honestly don’t think that Guy Ritchie is lookin’ to jump into another relationship anytime soon. He seems happy tending to work and his children. That said, I do like Guy and I hope — when he’s ready — he finds a nice woman that will love and appreciate him. I’d deffo like to see him settled at some point.

Madonna returned to Britain last night after ordering lawyers to ‘do everything’ to win her adoption battle. The singer, 50, was said to be ‘devastated and shaking’ at having to leave Mercy James, four, behind in Malawi. As she touched down at Luton airport, the strain visible on her face, her Gulfstream jet was met by ex-husband Guy Ritchie. Ritchie leapt up the stairs to sweep their adopted son David into his arms for a hug, and whisk him and son Rocco, eight, off to his Wiltshire estate. He and Madonna did not appear to speak to each other, but Ritchie has publicly supported the adoption of Mercy. However, the pair were said to have argued over the issue while still married, and Ritchie’s father John said yesterday that his son would be ‘very relieved’ by the court’s decision. Judge Esme Chombo ruled last week that Madonna could not adopt Mercy as she had not met residency rules which require adoptive parents to live in Malawi for 18 to 24 months. The star’s lawyer Alan Chinula described the judgment as ‘incomprehensible’, saying the same court had approved her adoption of David Banda in 2006. He said they were appealing the decision in Malawi’s Supreme Court, and believed he had a good chance of winning. Sources said Madonna told him: ‘Do whatever you can to get me my Mercy; I can’t imagine her going back to the orphanage.’ The singer and her eldest daughter Lourdes, 12, were said to have fought back tears as they left Malawi without the child. Madonna also reportedly told aides: ‘I can’t believe I’m leaving my beautiful baby behind. It’s not right. I love that baby girl . . . She’s my little girl – she needs to be with me.’ Officials have already returned Mercy to an orphanage, despite the appearance of a man claiming to be her biological father. Security guard James Kambewa, 24, said he was willing to take a DNA test to prove he was Mercy’s father and wants to raise the child. If the court in Malawi accepts his paternity claim it is likely to be the final blow to Madonna’s hopes of adopting the child. Mr Kambewa, who lives in a remote village 100 miles from Lilongwe, said he was told Mercy had died with her mother the birth. He told the Sunday Mirror: ‘I bear no grudge against Madonna. But I am Mercy’s father and I want her to stay with me… I will make it plain that my daughter will be staying in Malawi with me.’ Madonna had been told the girl was an orphan and Malawian authorities said her mother and father were dead. The girl’s other relatives had consented to the adoption.

What a swell Guy, indeed. Altho this report makes sure to mention that Madonna and Guy did not speak on the tarmac, I can only believe that Guy was there to offer his support for Maddy in her time of grief. I imagine that all of this has been emotionally hard on Maddy and I’m sure Guy is the kind of person to offer support instead of offering petty nonsense. I think being with Guy and her children, at least for a bit, will be very good for Madonna. Concerning these men coming forth to claim Mercy as their daughter, I really hope that it turns out that her father is still alive. My question is why did these men only step forward after Madonna tried to adopt the little girl? As I said, I hope her father is alive and that he steps forward to care for her … it’s just a sad matter all around. Here’s hoping that Madonna can get the support she needs from the folks in her life and, in the end, I hope the situation works out the best for little Mercy James. She is the most innocent person in all of this with the most to lose.

Now that Guy and Madonna are divorcing, there’s no way to pin this black eye on her … so the question remains, who slugged Guy Ritchie? Any guesses?

Guy Ritchie might not have been overly happy about the news that Madonna is now living with her toyboy lover – but he hit back in spectacular fashion last night. The singer’s new lover Jesus Luz is said to have given up his life in Brazil to move in with her in Manhattan. Not to be outdone, the Sherlock Holmes director hit the town last night with Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson. He took the 44-year-old bachelorette – known in her heyday as The Body – for dinner at the Notting hill Brasserie. Guy and Elle must have had a lot to talk about, as the pair stayed in each other’s company until 12.30am – leaving separately to avoid being photographed together. And judging by the smirks on their faces, the night went rather well. Elle has been largely single since her 2005 split from French financier Arpad Busson, with whom she has two children Flynn, 11, and Cy, six. Guy’s eight-year marriage to Madonna, 50, ended last year and the couple now share custody of their two sons, Rocco, eight, and David, three.

It is no secret that Madonna has been enjoying the company of a much younger toyboy Brazilian model as of late (who, much to his chagrin, had to return home to South America for a spell) so we know that she’s been having no problems finding ways to keep occupied. It makes sense that Guy would want to be able to do the same … but I never would’ve thought that he’d be so brazen as to move forward with someone like Elle Macpherson. She’s quite a catch and a hawt mama … they might actually make a pretty great couple. Now, it should be stressed that the pair merely enjoyed a dinner together … but, who knows … this could be the start of a beautiful relationship. Truth be told, I think this pairing is a great one … he’s still hawt enough to garner the attention of a beautiful woman, and she kinda looks enough like Madonna that Guy can pretend he’s still with her ;) I keed, I keed … these two might actually end up making a great couple someday. I’m gonna hafta keep my eye on these two. What do y’all think … is this a match made in heaven?

Okay … it must be said … I’m not sure if it’s cuz he’s in hawt dad mode or what but Guy Ritchie look mighty fiiiine in these photos. I’ve always maintained that he was a hottie but he looks especially DILFy in these photos. Woot! It seems that little David is still too small to hit the slopes (tho, he’s old enough to rock the latest fashions right) but Rocco was doing his thang. After the jump, check out a few more photos of Guy and Rocco on the slopes — tho, it looks like Rocco still needs to practice a bit more …

Aww … so cute! Rocco did get to do a bit of actual skiing … it looks like it was the “standing” that he had some difficulty with. These photos are great … I’m so happy to see that Guy is still very much involved in his children’s lives. I wonder if the Ritchie men have any other “guy’s only” weekends planned in the weeks to come.

Mebbe the guys were off to braid one another’s hair and paint one another’s toenails … or mebbe something more serious. Whatever the case may be, they do make a very handsome couple. The only thing missing from this equation that would make for a hawtter sight would be big injection of Jude’stache — right betwixt these two strapping dudes. HMMM. And suddenly, I’m having all sorts of naughty images of master detective Sherlock Holmes and his able-bodied assistant/side-kick Dr. Watson doing really bad things with long, curvy smoking pipes and things. Yeah, didn’t mean to take things there … let’s digress. I’m sure Guy and Robert were just heading off to separate destinations and were only hugging one another goodbye … as some men do at the end of a long, hard day of work. EEP! I have to stop now.

Maddy and the children have been in NYC a lot lately, which is normal since that is where I understand she plans to life full-time once her divorce from Guy is totally and completely signed, sealed and delivered. Guy, too, has been in NYC for the past week or so since the movie he’s directing, Sherlock Holmes, is currently in production in Brooklyn, NY. It’s really great to see that the Ciccone-Ritchie clan can keep it together even tho they are legally separating. It looks a lot like Madonna and Guy plan to remain good friends even after the divorce is a done deal … which bodes well for their children. I guess it’s true what they say about the family that Kabbalahs together.
