MADONNA SAYS SHE IS "SAD" ABOUT HER PERSONAL LIFE!

Madonna says she is "sad" about her personal life. The 50-year-old singer has spoken for the first time about her divorce from Guy Ritchie - with who she raises three children - and admits the relationship breakdown is taking its toll on her. However, the pop superstar says she is pleased to have a busy career to focus on.

She said: "I'm sad about my personal life, but I feel very blessed and very lucky that I have the opportunity to do what I do in my professional life." Madonna - whose decree nisi, the first part of the divorce, from Guy was granted last week - also said her 'Sticky and Sweet' world tour is "providing a distraction" which is keeping her going. She added: "It would be horrible if I was just thinking about getting a divorce and had nothing to do."

It has also been reported Madonna has been turning to ex-husband Sean Penn to help her cope with the split. The former couple - who were seen drinking together at New York's Greenwich Hotel recently following one of Madonna's concerts - have reignited their friendship recently, but there is no chance of any romance rekindling between them. A source said: "They have a nice rapport. There's nothing romantic there. They're just good friends."

Sad? She's having Thanksgiving dinner with A-Rod and her kids. They need to bring along the A-Rod kids and get Cynthia to shut up. So much drama with these rich folks!
