In between visits to the Kabbalah Centre in NYC with their mother Madonna, Rocco Ritchie and David Banda were whisked away by their father Guy Ritchie for a quick “guy’s only” ski trip to the Poconos, PA. Here are a few photos of Guy with his boys on the slopes over the weekend:

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 …

Director Guy Ritchie and film star Robert Downey, Jr. were lookin’ quite the cozy pair on the Brooklyn, NY set of Sherlock Holmes yesterday … the guys were literally joined at the hip as they greeted photogs in one another’s arms … behold:

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.

It doesn’t look like Madonna is going to let a little ol’ thing like divorce come between her family’s need to be together to get their church on. Maddy and her kiddies (Lola, Rocco and David Banda) hooked-up with daddy Guy Ritchie at the Kabbalah Centre in NYC yesterday and everyone was all smiles … check it out:

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.

Here are a few new photos of Robert Downey, Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams and director Guy Ritchie from the London set of their new movie Sherlock Holmes which has been in production for the past few weeks. I believe this is the first time we’ve seen Rachel in full costume … but it is not the first time we’ve seen Jude lookin’ so goooood. Yeah, that Jude’stache really does things to me ;)

Seriously, I cannot get over how much I like seeing Jude rockin’ the ’stache. It’s a really good look for him … I fear I won’t be able to focus on anything else when this movie finally hits theaters next year. Rachel looks pretty good in her outfit … methinks she’ll be playing one of those “tough as nails” chicks that don’t take no gumption from any man, whether he be supersleuth or not. I suppose one can forgive Guy Ritchie for being preoccupied with his personal life these days … no matter how much moolah he’s gonna get from Madonna out of their divorce (and you know it’s gonna be a lot no matter what they say — or don’t say), I’m sure he’ll be pleased with the result.

On Monday we learned from Madonna’s longtime publicist Liz Rosenberg that the final terms of Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s divorce settlement have been determined and that Ritchie’s pay-out from Madge would be in the range of $76 to $92 million. Today, it turns out, that that information either was erroneously reported to the media on Rosenberg’s part or the information is completely false. Madonna and Guy have issued a joint statement denying the terms of the settlement as reported by Madonna’s publicist and refuse to acknowledge the verity of any reports of any settlement that may have been decided upon by them. Um, yeah:

Madonna and Guy Ritchie are slamming recent stories about their divorce settlement. The joint statement – issued in London – came two days after Madonna’s U.S. rep gave the Associated Press details of the supposed deal. Liz Rosenberg said that Madonna, 50, was set to hand over cash and property worth between $76 million and $92 million, calling it “one of the largest [divorce] payouts ever.” But now the couple calls that information “misleading and inaccurate.” The statement reads:

“We have tried to maintain a dignified silence regarding the details of our divorce for the last few months whilst accepting the obvious media interest. A misleading and inaccurate statement, specifically in relation to the sums of money involved, was wrongly issued to AP this week. The financial details of the settlement will remain private, save to say that both of us are happy with our agreement. Our primary concern, like any co-parents, is the care and well being of our children.”

Wait … I’m confused. Madonna’s publicist herself was the one who reportedly made the money range claims and even was quoted as calling the settlement “one of the largest [divorce] payouts ever”. It’s not like the couple are refuting claims that were made by any outside party or media outlet. This information came directly from Liz Rosenberg herself … and to the Associated Press. I wonder why this joint settlement makes no reference to Rosenberg’s part in this “misleading and inaccurate statement” or, better yet, why Maddy doesn’t just order Rosenberg to rescind her statement. In any event, we can no longer be sure that the money payout is in the $76-92 million range … but I suspect it’s still really up there. To be honest, I’m looking forward to the finalization of this entire situation so we can be over and done with it already.

Last month we learned that Madonna and very soon-to-be ex-hubby Guy Ritchie had reached a tentative divorce agreement and today we learn from Maddy’s long-time publicist Liz Rosenberg that the final divorce settlement has been officially agreed upon by both parties — and Guy is gonna get paid some major moolah. Essentially, as soon as the court signs the paperwork after child custody is hammered out, the fairytale marriage of Madonna and Guy Ritchie will be totally and completely dunzo:

Madonna has reached a divorce settlement with Guy Ritchie, according to the singer’s rep. The pop star will pay her ex between $76 million and $92 million, her spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg tells the Associated Press. Rosenberg says the figure includes the value of their country home Ashcombe, in western England, as well as the couple’s London pub, the Punchbowl. “I’d assume it’s one of the largest payouts ever in a divorce settlement,” Rosenberg told the AP. While the financial details of the settlement have been ironed out, Madonna, 50, and Ritchie, 40, are still finalizing custodial arrangements for their children. Madonna filed for divorce citing Ritchie’s “unreasonable behavior” as a cause. The two were granted a preliminary “quickie divorce” on Nov. 21 in the High Court of London. Richie’s rep declined to comment to the AP. As for reports that the couple plan to spend Christmas together, Madonna’s rep tells PEOPLE that is not true.

Damn. That is a lot of money … but really, this whole thing just saddens me. I’d like to say, again, that I really liked Madonna and Guy together. I’m bummed that it couldn’t work out between the two of them. While I’m sure that these mega millions that Guy will be getting will do much to cushion the loss of his marriage, I suspect that this whole ordeal is still a difficult one for the both of them. I’m sure it won’t be much longer until we hear that the couple are legally dunzo for good.

Earlier today we learned that Madonna and Guy Ritchie have been granted a “quickie divorce” from the London High Court after the parties agreed on a settlement concerning assets and child custody. Last night, Guy spent some time with his two sons Rocco and David Banda which shows that he intends to take an active role in their lives despite the fact that he is splitting with Madge:

While I am happy that there will be no nasty divorce for Maddy and Guy, I’m really bummed that their young children now have many years of shuffling back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean to spend time with their parents. I’m sure that both Madonna and Guy will do their best to care for their children and make the shared custody work as best as they can but … the kids are so young … I can’t imagine that it will be easy for either Rocco or David.
