Don't know or care whether there's been an official announcement since, but at that time Sky were gravely announcing an "impending statement on the collapse of Madonna's marriage". Not an *actual* statement, of course. As you say, by time *that* comes the story (such as it is) will be thought dead - the simulation being much preferable.<BR/><BR/>Their interactive service even had a screen devoted to this 'breaking news', with The Scum's showbiz editor prattling on, and numerous reporters doorstepping numerous of the 'unhappy couples' houses - one of whom was desperate enough to start theorising on where Guy might be sleeping tonight.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08048741813269677089noreply@blogger.com
