It looks like Madonna has found Jesus once again – as she dines with the model 28 years her junior.

Last month rumours started flying around the States that the singer, 50, was dating the 22-year-old Brazilian after they posed together in a sizzling magazine shoot.

And this new snap will do nothing to dampen the speculation, as they reunited for a spot of lunch in New York.

Jesus is definitely Madge reverting to type.

He might not look like anything like ex-husband Guy Ritchie, but he’s a dead ringer for Carlos Leon, the father of her daughter Lourdes.

After the meal it was back to regular family business for Madge though, as she left Jesus behind to hit the shops with her three kids.

Lourdes already lives with her mum in the Big Apple and it’s thought that Madonna – who divorced Guy at the end of last year – has won a temporary residency order for sons Rocco and David to join them too.

As well as Jesus, Madge has been repeatedly linked to baseball star ALEX RODRIGUEZ.

She’s also been touring the world promoting her recently released album Hard Candy.

I’m not exactly sure what look she was going for here.  None of these pictures look good.  I’m especially confused with the above picture.  What the crap!?  I don’t even understand!

Back to the drawing board people!

I didn’t even post half of them… there are a ton more here.

Gross!! Time to start closing your legs, Madonna.

Remember that $76 million-plus divorce deal Madonna’s rep told us about on Monday? Well, the Material Girl and Guy Ritchie want you to pretend it never happened.

The former fun couple have issued a joint statement attempting to play down the exorbitant figures, announced via email by her longtime publicist Liz Rosenberg to E! News and other media outlets Monday. Per Rosenberg, Madonna had agreed to pay Ritchie somewhere between $76 million and $92 million to make their marriage go away.

While the exes say they are satisfied with the arrangement, which puts an end to any bickering over money, they labeled the initial quote “inaccurate.”

“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,” their statement reads. “A misleading and inaccurate statement, specifically in relation to the sums of money involved, was wrongly issued…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.”

Madonna has settled with ex-husband Guy Ritchie for at least $75 million in cash and assets, according to her spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg.

The divorce payout is considered by some to be a record for a man from his ex-wife.

According to a report from the U.K’s Daily Mail, the $75 million payout includes the couple’s country estate Ashcombe House in Wiltshire, as well as a cash lump sum thought to be at much as $53 million.

Rosenberg adds that while the financial component of the settlement has been worked out, custodial arrangements for the couple’s children — Rocco, 8, and David, 3 — have yet to be finalized.

Madonna’s daughter from a previous marriage Lourdes, will stay with her mother.

A representative for Ritchie, 40, declined to comment.

The couple, who were married for eight years, finalized their divorce last month. The two publicly announced their split in October amid rumors linking Madonna to New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez.

Rodriguez has publicly denied any romantic link to the star, classifying their relationship as nothing more than a mere friendship.

Madonna, 50, boasts an estimated worth of over $450 million. Ritchie, a successful film director whose credits include “Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch,” is worth about one-tenth of that.

Several British papers reported a similar divorce deal nearly two months ago, but Rosenberg declined to comment at the time.

When Marc Jacobs found himself in a meeting on a recent Monday morning to brainstorm about Louis Vuitton’s next fashion advertising campaign, inspiration struck. “I just blurted out, ‘I think we should do Madonna,’” said the designer, Vuitton’s creative director, mentioning he’d attended a concert by the pop icon the night before in Paris. “I was totally just blown away by it, and moved by her performance, by what she had to say, and her energy.”

As the meeting went on, Jacobs tapped out a message to Madonna on his BlackBerry, and within about five minutes came the reply: “I’d love to.”

The result is six atmospheric pictures of a smoldering Madonna by Steven Meisel that will break in a range of fashion magazines in February. “It’s a big change from what we were doing. It tells a story,” said Antoine Arnault, Vuitton’s director of communications. “This I think is an amazing coup, but more than that, there’s real logic behind it. It’s very linked to Marc’s fashion show.”

Although Arnault declined to give figures, he said media budgets for the fashion campaign would be on par with a year ago. And he dismissed as “absurd” reports pegging Madonna’s fees at $10 million. “It’s very far away from that,” he assured.

The campaign marks the end of Vuitton’s six-year collaboration with photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, with the parting characterized as amicable, and another reunion for long-time collaborators Madonna and Meisel. Jacobs last worked with Meisel in his Perry Ellis days. (Arnault noted it’s “very probable” Vuitton’s association with Meisel will continue.)

The campaign takes the very Parisian theme of Jacobs’ hit spring Vuitton collection, with a smoky French bistro the setting, and the sepia-toned images evoking a Brassai atmosphere. “As cliché as they are, I love all these French references,” the designer said. (Although the restaurant, Figaro, is on North Vermont Avenue in Los Angeles).

“I still feel it looks like beautiful, gorgeous Madonna,” Jacobs said about the images. “Excepting the references and excepting the clichés, this still feels very today. And it didn’t feel so much like a fashion shoot, it feels like portraits.”

The shoot wrapped up in less than a day and without incident, although Jacobs said hordes of paparazzi literally “appeared out of the bushes” the moment Madonna arrived. “It went from a quiet street to complete chaos,” he said.

The designer also marveled at the singer’s incredible fitness that allowed her to recline, her back arched, on bentwood chairs, or shoot a leg straight up in the air, no sweat. “She’s so sure of herself as an icon and as a woman. It was her idea to do the fishnets,” Jacobs said. “What fascinates me the most about her is her never-ending energy, and the idea of becoming and changing. She’s an artist who’s unafraid to use her voice.”

Arnault said the fashion campaign would appear “very strongly” in February and March issues and with few changes in media placements. “We’re staying on target,” he stressed.

The first visuals will spotlight slouchy bags in monogram canvas and monogram-embossed leather, along with ethnic-inspired sandals, bangles and sexy ready-to-wear. In tandem, Vuitton will continue to run its “core values” campaign, with spots featuring Sean Connery, the latest celebrity spokesman, continuing into next year. Analysts have estimated Vuitton spends more than $250 million annually on advertising, most of it print-driven.
