Madonna and Guy Ritchie's divorce gets uglier by the minute, with the singer reportedly telling friends to pick a side and stick with it.

The world was left reeling after the queen of pop and her husband announced their plans to divorce earlier this week.

Since then the atmosphere has become decidely frosty, with Madge hitting out at Guy on stage in front of thousands of fans, and alleged rows over the kids.

An now, the battle is said to have turned even more bitter, with the singer reportedly telling friends to choose a side.

“Madonna does not want to be telling one of her good friends in confidence about some part of the divorce strategy only to discover that the information has found its way back to Guy”, a source tells the Daily Mail.   

“The last thing Madonna wants is to be telling a friend about the current state of, for example, the custody battle over the children, and then to find that information has immediately got back to Guy.”
