Madonna and Guy Ritchie are spotted arriving for dinner together at Cesca Restaurant in New York City on Tuesday.
Guy Ritchie arrived in New York on June 30 to have a talk with Madonna, reportedly to work out their marital issues. Madonna attended Manhattan’s Kabbalah Centre Friday and Saturday.
Madonna’s rep tried to put all rumors to rest by stating simply, “There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce.”

Perhaps Madonna will be feeling a little less blue after she appears in Malawian court in two weeks when a judge will decide whether or not she can adopt a child.
There are some civil rights lawyers who are fighting to block Madonna’s requested adoption of the two-year-old child David Banda.
Activists in the country are demanding a change in the law to prevent foreign adoptions.
Madonna met the child in a Malawian orphanage a year and a half ago and began adoption proceedings in 2006.

“I’ve always been fortunate to have people around me who believed in me,” Madonna said as she accepted her award. “Life, like art, is a collaboration. I did not get here on my own. And why would I want to? [Even the people who] said I was talentless, that I was chubby, that I couldn’t sing, that I was a one-hit wonder, they helped me, too. They inspired me because they made me question myself repeatedly and pushed me to be better.”
According to recent reports, Madonna has titled her upcoming April 29th album release Hard Candy. Hard Candy, which will be released on April 29′, will feature guest appearances and production by Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, and Timbaland and is described by insiders as ‘Madonna goes hip-hop’. The first single is a duet with Justin Timberlake called ‘Four Minutes’ and will be released at the end of March.
Madonna arrives at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Sunday with her three kids — Lourdes, 11, Rocco, 7, and David, 2 1/2.
The 49-year-old Queen of Pop is expected in a Malawi court April for a final hearing on David’s adoption. Adoption proceedings for David began in 2006 after meeting the boy in a local orphanage.
Madonna’s directorial debut, Filth and Wisdom, has so far been met with mixed reviews. It’s possible that the low-budget comedy will be made available first via download in the U.S. and U.K. and released theatrically elsewhere.
As for her upcoming still-yet-untitled album, Rolling Stone previewed five of its “more urban-oriented, thumpy funk” tracks. Here’s a sample of the review:
“The track that sounds most like a more urban, edgy continuation of Confessions is the excellent ‘Give It to Me,’ which bumps along to a thick synth tone Danja employed on Britney Spears’ Blackout. It’s an aggressive, clubby track with a raw, house-y beat that’s ripe for remixing, and Madonna sings, ‘When the lights go down and there’s no one left I can go on and on.’ It ends after a fast, killer breakdown where she chants ‘Get stupid’ over a xylophone chime as the beat builds into a frenzy and she proclaims, ‘Give it to me / No one’s gonna stop me now.’
