Britney Spears has had to cancel a planned concert performance with Madonna in Miami. She’s done it so that she can spend the run-up to Thanksgiving with her kids. According to sources, Spears was slated to make a guest appearance on the final show of diva Madonna’s American tour on November 26, but the singer has decided to put her kids before her career.

Update:

Britney has been granted custody of her sons, two year old Jayden James and three year old Sean Preston, for the period leading up to their US holiday which falls on the 27th of November.

Madonna and A-Rod have finally found a place to meet up, it looks like. A-Rod and Madge reportedly met up at Jerry Seinfeld’s Hamptons hideaway for a quiet, quickie rendezvous and by quiet, I mean they each rode in private helicopters and massive SUVs. Way to be discreet!

Update:

Madonna kicked off her “Sticky and Sweet” tour at Oracle Arena last Saturday, and it was a sell-out.

Madonna had an alleged “marriage contract” with Guy stating that he could not shout at her and that he had to devote time to sex, according to a report.

The report claims the couple drew up an agreement after attending marriage counseling two years ago to put down some rules on paper … Guy was told he “must work to enrich his wife’s emotional and spiritual well-being,” “resolve conflicts in a constructive way,” and focus on the couple’s “sexual expressiveness,” according to the story.

There was even a requirement that Guy spend several hours a week reading Kabbalah texts with Madonna.

Sources also reveal that Madonna posted the contract in their home and when Guy did anything untoward, Madge would remind him, “Contract, Guy, contract.”

Apparently Madonna’s marriage had been on rocky gound for quite some time before the actual divorce.

“It was unraveling throughout the last year,” says a common friend. “They were living separate lives and coming together every now and then for the cameras.”

The source added, “There had been problems for a while.”

While the reps casually swept aside talks of an affair between Madonna and A-Rod, it appears there really was no smoke without a fire. ”He was a factor in a long list of problems that they had been having over the past year or two,” says her friend. “But it wasn’t the reason. If she wanted to move past that she would have, and Guy would have too.”

“It wasn’t just one thing,” said the source. “They just lost their connection.”

Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s marriage is over, with the Queen of Pop and the forty years old film director announcing their plans to divorce.

“Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after 7½ years of marriage,” their reps said in a joint statement. “They have both requested that the media maintain respect for their family at this difficult time. A final settlement has not been agreed upon yet.”

“It is sad,” Madonna publicist Liz Rosenberg said.

Word of serious trouble in the Material World bubbled over in August amid reports that she had an affair with Alex Rodriguez, who later had to divorce his wife.
