Hours after her divorce announcement, vengeful

Madonna

took a swipe at soon-to-be ex

Guy Ritchie

onstage last night - by branding him

"emotionally retarded"

.

With a megabucks divorce looming on the horizon, the famously gobby star couldn't resist making a thinly-veiled attack on Ritchie.

Most celebs who'd just taken a sleighride to Splitsville would maintain a dignified silence, slip into their jammies, take the phone off the hook and wallow in self pity - but not Madge.

Before a crowd of 20,000 cheering fans, the defiant Queen of Pop's first words as she played the opening bars of her hit

Sorry

were: "That's right - I'm not sorry."

And in an interlude before her song

Miles Awa

y, which she previously declared was inspired by her hubby, she told the crowd: "This song is for the

emotionally retarded

. Maybe you know some people who fall into that category.

God knows I do

."

Oh dear. I'm sure Ritchie is already visualising the duct tape over her mouth.

The gloves are off

The song's lyrics couldn't be more poignant, as they more than hint at a couple growing apart. The chorus has the line:

"I guess we're at our best when we're miles away,"

and a verse: "

Uncomfortable silence can be so loud/Those three words are never enough/When it's long distance love/

When I'm gone you'll realise/That I'm the best thing that happened to you.'

"So many people have to deal with long-distance relationships," she told Elle magazine of the song earlier this year. "It's not easy. You have to work hard to make it work."

It was supposedly later confirmed by her spokesperson that Madge's comment referred to Guy, so says entertainmentwise.com.

Madge's Boston gig was the 23rd on her tour, which ends in December.

But here's an interesting snippet from the

MailOnline

. The news website says that "Madonna cryptically announced to a New York concert audience on October 6: 'In exactly 29 moves,

the Queen will dump the King

.' She then had 29 more dates on her U.S. tour."

The Queen obviously couldn't wait that long, and gave the Cockerney geez the shove lickety-split.

Silent treatment

Just like the five steps of grieving, Madge 'n Guy are going through the motions of a separation. They're at the 'silent treatment' phase at the mo, and have been for quite some time, according to reports.

A snitch says that the couple are so estranged, they now only communicate through their personal assistants.

"It has become so bad that they cannot be in a room together for more than a few minutes without having a shouting match," adds the snitch.

Another snitch tells Usmagazine.com: "All her friends and family have known all along. They had to keep it under wraps and really tried to work things out. They tried for years, actually."

Meanwhile, things are hotting up between Madonna and

Alex Rodriguez

. Several sources say the pair are planning a trip to Malawi when her tour ends.

The "romancing" couple will supposedly go on a fact-finding tour there later this year to raise publicity for Madge's Raising Malawi charity.

Broody hell, Jolie!

Angelina Jolie

says she's ready to adopt again. Aha, the mother of six says she and

Brad Pitt

are already thinking along those lines. She announced the news while interviewed on US morning news show

Today

. No details on timeframe.

Tom Cruise not dead

How's that for the lamest headline of the week.

Tom Cruise's spokesperson has been forced to deny escalating reports that the star fell to his death in New Zealand.

The baffling reports

surfaced online

overnight, claiming the star had died falling from the Kauri Cliffs, but the

Top Gun'

s rep has dismissed the reports as "garbage".

Cruise's spokesperson Jeff Raymond, says: "This is completely not true. Tom is not in New Zealand nor has he been there recently. This is erroneous and unreliable internet garbage."

A similar erronous report surfaced in 2006 when it was claimed that Hollywood actor Tom Hanks had fallen to his death at the same spot.

It's all so dull and unoriginal.

Honey, Tom ain't dead. But his career is.
