Madonna has reportedly been dishing out advice on men and marriage to her biggest fan Britney Spears.

The pop princess - whose relationship history makes Jennifer Aniston's love life look successful - was apparently eager to hear Madonna's thoughts on the subject.

A source tells AbsoluteNow.com, "Britney asked Madonna if she will ever marry again after her split from Guy.

"Madonna not only said she wouldn't but told Britney to forget about marriage. She said it just doesn't work for girls like them.

"Madonna clearly sees a lot of herself in Britney because she seems very eager to help her."

Mmm, we're not sure whether soon-to-be divorced Madge is best person to be taking relationship advice from right now...
