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.

Sitting on a diamante “M” throne in a fringed black leotard and over-the-knee leather boots, Madonna kicked off her Sticky and Sweet tour Saturday night at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium in Wales, opening with “Candy Shop.”

The 40,000-strong audience was in for a night of treats, including onscreen appearances by Kanye West, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, who dueted on “4 Minutes.”

The image of rapper West encircled the stage for “Beat Goes On” as fans screamed and Madonna cruised through on a white vintage convertible car.

Spears made her virtual guest spot during “Human Nature,” writhing while trapped in an elevator as Madonna played the guitar. The popster departed with her trademark line “It’s Britney B–!”

Madonna switched themes multiple times, going sporty for “Into the Groove” in diamante-encrusted shorts and a hoodie, and invoking the Far East for a segment that had her in a cage with computer-generated water gushing around it. “La Isla Bonita” turned the stage into a Mediterranean street party with Greek dancing and a flamenco solo performance.

While fans went wild, husband Guy Ritchie was lending support backstage, according to the singer’s rep, who also said Madonna had spent the day rehearsing. “She’s been putting the finishing touches to some of the dance routines today, in a good way, she’s a perfectionist!”

The 50-year-old singer pulled out all the stops, even using a video interlude to send a political message with images of peace campaigners, Al Gore, Bono and Barack Obama mixed with scenes of war-torn continents and poverty.

Religious messages flashed on the screens behind her for a remixed house version of “Like a Prayer,” which was met with mass cheers.

At one point the singer shouted to the crowd, “This is the bit where I take requests,” and started singing “Express Yourself” – then changed her mind. “F– that s–. I choose the songs.”

After two hours, Madonna left the stage as the screen flashed “Game Over.”

The singer heads back to London before traveling to France to continue the tour around Europe before arriving in New Jersey on Oct. 4.

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.

Madonna was left disappointed after her 50th birthday celebrations on Saturday when several of her guests failed to turn up.

The Holiday hitmaker hosted a lavish party at the exclusive Volstead nightclub in London’s West End.

It was attended by many of the star’s family and friends - but Madonna was allegedly upset about the no-shows.

She reportedly told guests, “I’m really disappointed. There are a lot of people who are not here tonight, but thanks to everyone who did make it.”

The singer’s daughter, Lourdes, played a song from hit musical Fame on a grand piano at the club and husband Guy Ritchie presented the pop star with $500,000 worth of jewelry.
