Guy Ritchie believes his wife Madonna’s brother penned a tell-all book on the singer because he was desperate for the attention.

The filmmaker insists he isn’t bothered by Christopher Ciccone’s book Life With My Sister Madonna, which made a series of allegations about the Material Girl’s private life.

But Snatch director Ritchie denies Ciccone’s claim he is homophobic – because Madonna wouldn’t stand for it.

Ritchie says, “I don’t make anything of the book. The poor chap wrote it out of desperation. I don’t think it’d be intelligent to comment on that. I can’t give too much equity in what the chap’s gonna write in that book. But you’d be hard pushed to be a homophobe and marry Madonna.”

Whether their marriage is on the rocks or not, there’s at least one thing Madonna and Guy Richie don’t seem to be able to agree on.

Kind of a big one too!

Guy just told a British newspaper that he thinks it’s a “mistake” and not “intelligent” to follow Kabbalah.

When the Observer asked the Snatch director if he would call himself a follower of the sect that his wife has dedicated herself to, he said: “No, I wouldn’t, no.

“I like to think I’m an objective guy. I have sympathies with many philosophies, and I think it’d be a mistake to be a follower of anything, really.”

And even though Guy’s taken part in a few Kabbalah ceremonies, he added, “I just think any intelligent human being has to remain, if you can, objective.”

Maybe A-Rod should take some advice from Guy before he takes any more religious guidance from the Material Girl!

Are Madonna and Guy Ritchie adopting another child from Malawi? “Possibly,” says Guy in a new interview with the U.K.’s The Observer.

The ‘RocknRolla’ director gamely responded after he was hit with the burning question by his interviewer in a “quickfire” back-and-forth, asking, “After adopting David two years ago, are you and Madonna trying to adopt another child from Malawi, named Mercy?”

Reps for the star couple have denied that they are in the adoption process with Malawi officials. The busy Madonna just kicked off her “Sticky and Sweet” world tour in Cardiff, Wales, and Guy is gearing up for a new Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr. for Warner Bros.

In addition to little David Banda, Madonna and Guy currently have a son, Rocco, 8, and Madonna has a daughter, Lourdes, 11, from a previous relationship.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie made a last-ditch attempt to save their troubled marriage by renewing their wedding vows at a private kabbalah ceremony in London, I can report.

Madonna, who was 50 last weekend, is understood to have flown her kabbalah teacher over from Los Angeles to conduct the proceedings.

‘It was very intimate and both Guy and Madonna made vows to each other and pledged to try to make their marriage strong again,’ says my source.

‘The ceremony lasted about an hour. They turned up at the kabbalah center in their gym clothes and changed into white robes. Everyone at the center hopes that they will get through their recent rough patch.’

Madonna is about to start a world tour, while Guy is planning his 40th birthday party on September 10 at the Punch Bowl pub in Mayfair, which he owns with his wife.

The London pub part-owned by Madonna and Guy Ritchie has been cleared of price fixing.

The Hollywood couple bought shares worth $5 million in The Punchbowl – just around the corner from their west London home – in February.

But the landlord has been accused of having two different price lists for drinks – one for locals and another for tourists.

However, a spokesman for the pub denies unfair pricing strategies.

He says, “Every pub has to change their prices and this came in the middle of the change.”

Westminster council have investigated and confirm a fixed price list is now on display.

Guy Ritchie dispelled rumors his marriage to pop superstar Madonna is in trouble during a speech at her 50th birthday party on Saturday.

The film director also paid tribute to the singer’s career during the speech at the exclusive Volstead nightclub in London’s West End.

He told the 90 guests: “She looks better now than she ever has done. I’m so proud. I love her so much.”

Madonna also gave a 40 minute speech. She said, “I can’t believe I have reached half a century. It only happens once and this is an evening I’m glad to be sharing with you.”

Guy Ritchie’s script adviser has been charged with possessing more than $200,000 worth of cocaine and cannabis.

Michael De’Hara, who worked with Ritchie on forthcoming gangster film RocknRolla, was arrested near his London home last month.

He was allegedly carrying 35 ounces of cocaine on his person and police subsequently found 317 ounces of cannabis and $12,000 in cash after raiding his home.

He has been charged with possession of drugs and intent to supply.

De’Hara has been remanded in custody in Brixton, London prison and will appear in Southwark Crown Court in Britain’s capital on 19 September.

A spokesman for Ritchie says, “Like everyone else, Guy was very surprised by the news.”
