While MADONNA blames the paparazzi for the injuries she suffered when she fell off a horse in the Hamptons over the weekend, one photographer who snapped pictures of her says he did nothing wrong.

It turns out that MADONNA can NOT have everything she wants. On Friday, a Malawian court DENIED her petition to adopt 4-year-old Mercy James.

So this is why Guy Richie has had that silly grin on his face lately -- he just received a FAT settlement check from his divorce with Madonna.

It would appear that MADONNA and ALEX RODRIGUEZ will be spending Thanksgiving together . . . but we're not exactly sure where.

It's been rumored for a while now, but MADONNA and GUY RITCHIE officially confirmed yesterday that they are, sadly, ending their nearly eight-year marriage.

MADONNA is making SARAH PALIN-bashing a regular feature on her Sticky and Sweet Tour. After ranting about Sarah (at a show in New Jersey) over the weekend, Madonna continued her tirade at New York's Madison Square Garden on Monday night.

Alex Rodriguez's wife has been seeing singer Lenny Kravitz, according to the New York Post, as the New York Yankee has befriended Madonna, Kravitz's ex.
