With fans all over the world squabbling over why Madonna and Guy Ritchie are getting divorced, BILD spoke exclusively to the Queen of Pop's brother, Christopher Ciccone (48), who revealed why HE thought the celeb couple had split.
BILD: Why has your sister’s marriage come to an end?
Christopher Ciccone: The Kabbalah sect*, to which Madonna is completely devoted, played a large role in this marriage. It was based on it. And that is not enough on which to base a marriage and it couldn’t have survived.
BILD: Is there any chance of reconciliation?
Ciccon: No, I really don’t think so. With two such ambitious and headstrong personalities, it would just be too hard.
BILD: How do you get along with your brother-in-law, Guy Ritchie?
Ciccone: Guy is not the easiest guy to get along with. We don’t really see eye to eye.
BILD: What was it about him that your sister loved?
Ciccone: I really have no idea. I suppose I could have tried to stop her. But I always wanted to welcome those people whom Madonna let into her life. Whether it was Warren Beatty, Sean Penn or Carlos Leon. They were and are good friends of mine. Guy was the first who couldn’t bear how close Madonna and I were. He has a problem with gays.
BILD: That must have been a difficult situation. How did your sister deal with it?
Ciccone: It wasn’t easy and it was so high-profile, everything happened in public.

The Texas Supreme Court has agreed with the lower court's ruling that the removal of more than 400 children from Yearning for Zion (YFZ) Ranch was "not warranted."
The State argued that the members of the sect lived in an environment where young girls (underage) were sexually abused and young boys were groomed to be "perpetrators."
The members of the sect denied any abuse took place.
The state had to PROVE that there was abuse, and they didn't, relying instead on a "culture," "beliefs" and "mindset" argument. But without proof...it's not enough!
I guess if the State messed up, what could the the Supreme Court do. There are laws in place for a reason, and even though something might be wrong or there is foul play, you still have to play by the rules. This definitely ain't "Law & Order."The Texas Supreme Court has agreed with the lower court's ruling that the removal... more

From some Canadian consular officials monitoring the interim custody hearing, nobody has done anything. Perhaps it’s not surprising. Afterall, the Canadian government allowed the U.S. government to lock up a Canadian teen in Guantanamo Bay.

"Lost Boys" is the term given to young men who are forced to leave polygamist compounds at a very young age. Many say they're banished on pretexts, enabling older men in such sects to have less competition for younger women and wives.
Most of the Lost Boys are between 13 and 21 when they're kicked out of compounds such as the one in Eldorado, Texas from which authorities removed more than 400 children and teens in a raid earlier this month.
The alleged wrongdoing cited by sect elders when Lost Boys are tossed include things such as watching a movie, playing football, or talking to a girl, Lost Boys say.
Among the many difficulties Lost Boys face is that they're raised to not trust the outside world. They're usually left with little education or life skills and must learn to live in a world about which they know little, while dealing with the deep psychological pain of being shunned by their families and believing they're beyond spiritual redemption.
