On Shaky Ground

It's always sad to hear about failing relationships, but at this time of year it's even a little more disturbing. Apparently, Madonna and her husband, Guy Ritchie, are living under strained conditions as a result of complications in the adoption of little David, a Malawian orphan. Although Guy loves David very much, he is a little disgusted with all the media attention that is putting added stress on an already strained relationship. One British publication made it sound as if he was just going along with the adoption as per Madonna's orders and hinted that he would have rather been working on his marriage first before adding another child to the family. A nanny who was working for the family, recently quit because of all the tension in the house besides having to work for a very demanding boss. Another source states that Madonna would like Guy to share in her increasing devotion to Kabbalah. Of course, there was no comments from her reps.........Finally, it has been announced that Jennifer Anniston and Vince Vaughen have split. Jennifer hasn't seen Vince since October, but had recently denied rumours that they were no longer a couple. Apparently, during her trip to London to visit him during his filming of 'Fred Clause', they amicably split and will remain friends. Not a very holly, jolly Christmas for everyone.
