(May 26) - The state of Madonna and Guy Ritchie's relationship has been fodder for the gossip pages for several months. But now, reports are heating up over their allegedly troubled marriage.
According to British paper the Daily Mail, the pair have been spending the majority of their time in Cannes away from one another. And when they were together, Ritchie looked like he was being "paraded at yet another high-octane celebrity party for the benefit of marital solidarity."Gossip blogger Perez Hilton even comments on photos of Madonna and Ritchie at the film festival, asking them to "try and look happy."Previously, her decision to have Nathan Rissman, the family's gardener and "manny," direct her documentary about Malawi, 'I Am Because We Are,' was supposed to have been a blow to Ritchie's ego. That injury is said to have been compounded by her insistence that their trip to Cannes be exclusively about her film work."Guy wanted to talk about his film on the red carpet but Madonna told him this was about her movie," said one observer. "She made it clear to Guy that this event was about her and his nose was put out of joint."
