Guy Ritchie had his work cut out organizing a 50th birthday bash for Queen Of Pop Madonna. Planning a shindig for the dance floor veteran must be like throwing a garden party for the other Queen.
But the Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels director made sure it was one his missus wouldn’t forget on Saturday night by making an emotive speech that helped dispel rumours the couple are on the brink of splitting.
Guy got up in front of 90 of his wife’s pals at the Volstead nightclub bash in London’s West End and paid tribute to her amazing career.
He spoke of his pride at being her husband before adding: “She looks better now than she ever has done. I’m so proud. I love her so much.”
And just in case there were any dry eyes left in the house, Madge’s daughter Lourdes stepped up to sing. The 11-year-old belted out Never Alone from the musical Fame, proving she could follow in her mum’s giant footsteps if she chooses.
Touched Madge then composed herself enough to say her thanks to friends and family — in a speech that lasted almost 30 mouth-drying minutes.
I’m surprised she had the energy for the speech after a night of dancing — to her own music.
Madge appeared to be using the party as a final run-through for her world tour, which starts in Cardiff on Saturday. She gyrated along to her back catalogue and kids Lourdes, Rocco and David joined in too.
Of the guests at the $200,000 party, 40 were Madonna’s dancers. A friend said: “She loved it when her songs came on. Her dancers were pulling out all the moves, breakdancing around her. It was like a final rehearsal for the tour.”
Entertainment was provided by creepy American magician David Blaine. I suppose it beats a bloke making animals out of balloons.
