Madonna Brother Blames Material Girl For Marriage Split!!!!!!!

MADONNA's brother CHRISTOPHER CICCONE is blaming his famous sister
for her marriage split - because she's so difficult to talk to.

The interior designer, who hit the headlines earlier this year (08)
with his tell-all book Life With My Sister Madonna, insists the
Material Girl could still be married to director Guy Ritchie if she
could only open up.

Ciccone tells U.S. TV news show Extra, "She's not the kind of person you sit down and have a face-to-face conversation with."

And he insists his sister's ruthlessness will always wreck her
romances: "You don't get to where she is and stay there for 20 years by
being sweet."

Ironically, in promoting his book, the author admitted he and his
soon-to-be ex-brother-in-law were never fond of each other, and accused
the Brit of being "homophobic" - a claim Ritchie has denied.

Ciccone also saw the end of the marriage coming in July (08), telling
British breakfast show GMTV, "I don't know for sure one way or the
other if their relationship is good but I do know things are not as
good as they could be.

"Her career continues to glide up, whereas Guy's has gotten a little
bit stale. They're two ambitious and creative people and on some level
are competing."

Although Ciccone is far from friendly with Ritchie, he empathises with
the director: "Being married to her can't possibly be easy. I know what
it's like living with her, growing up with her. It's next to impossible
and I wouldn't do it."

Madonna and Ritchie announced their plans to divorce after seven-and-a-half years of marriage on Wednesday.
