Madonna, Ritchie reach reported $60 Mil divorce settlement

Yes. A man finally wins a divorce. Haha...just kidding.

Nowhere else do you get these kinds of settlements other than in the entertainment industry. I guess women don't really get the opportunity to have this much money in the corporate world too much yet. Although they are getting there. I've seen the corporate holiday cards for female bosses out there ;). Madonna and her ex-husband, Guy Ritchie has reportedly reached a settlement in their divorce proceedings according to The Sun.

Ritchie will reportedly walk away with assets totaling around $60 million, including a 1,200-acre country estate, a London pub, and a cash settlement.

“The negotiations were relatively painless,” The Sun quoted a source as saying. “Guy knew what he wanted and Madonna knew what she was keen to keep. There was a spell when Guy was in a mood to dig his heels in, but he decided this arrangement seemed reasonable and a long battle over money would make life unbearable.”

Guy plans to be a man whore now that he is divorced according to friends. Yeah...I'd probably do that too I guess.

Sarah Palin on SNL

If you didn't already know, Sarah Palin appeared on Saturday Night Live this weekend. After a few weeks of Tina Fey portraying Sarah Palin on the show they finally got Palin herself to appear on the show as well. Just like any other politician that appears on SNL you probably shouldn't expect much. It wasn't terrible by any means. It just wasn't all that great. SNL tends to do a pretty bad job at sketches when they bring on guests like this. Seems like they waste the opportunity, or the guest just isn't that entertaining. I expected them to do a bit more with her as a mom, or something. Maybe out with the kids shopping for crib bedding, or something...lol

If that video below works you can watch her opening skit here, but for some reason the embed doesn't always work from there. If that is the xcase you can take a look at it here as well as quite a few other clips they have done on Palin. NBC is pretty stingy with their SNL clips, but Hulu.com is allowed to post most of them so that is probably the best place to get them.

Matt Damon Will Star in 4th Bourne Movie

Although i love this movie series, I just don't know how they can reasonably keep making them. Who else does he have a beef with? I just don't get it. I thought he already took vengence on everyone that has ever done him wrong.

The previous three “Bourne” movies have been based on the novels by Robert Ludlum, but the latest chapter will be an original story on their laptop computer. Care to speculate as to what his new mission will be?

Let's see. He took out everyone, and got away again with out consequence. What can he do now? Does he just become a super hero and fight evil? Surely there will be some sort of story in which he is fighting against the secret agencies of government. Maybe some new hot shot in the CIA is after him and wants to bring him to justice. Maybe he gets caught again and they put him back to work?

Will I watch it? Yes. Do I think it will be good? Probably not.
