Guy Ritchie lashes out

Madonna's husband breaks their 'truce' with a bizarre outburst

Madonna's not having it all her own way

About to set off on tour, Madonna was hoping Guy Ritchie would play the low-key, obedient husband, but he’s made the sort of public outburst that clearly shows how much he’s come to dislike his wife.

In an interview last week, Guy, 39, who’s busy promoting his latest film RocknRolla, due out in September, blasted: ‘Sugar kills. Think of the calories in sugar. Fat kills more people than anything else. Sugar is responsible for a lot of deaths, arguably more than crack cocaine.’

His outburst had many people scratching their heads, but was he making a veiled attack on his wife? Madonna’s latest album and roadshow is called Hard Candy. The connection between sugar and candy hasn’t gone unnoticed.

‘Guy’s many things, but stupid isn’t one of them,’ says our source. ‘Can you really believe he’s that passionate about sugar?

‘Coming from a man whose films are all about gangsters, drugs and murders, it’s his way of saying to his wife that she’s not going to have it all her own way. Madonna will have to tread carefully if she wants to keep him onside until her tour is over.’
