A black lining to the silver-cloud week enjoyed by film director and former Mr Madonna, Guy Ritchie. Having won between £36m and £50m in his recent divorce settlement, and then exercising his newly granted power to ban Madge from spending Christmas at his Wiltshire estate, there's trouble on the professional front.

Advertisements for his movie RocknRolla have been accused by the Advertising Standards Authority of being "irresponsible" and "condoning violence".

It isn't in cinemas any more, so in a sense the ruling doesn't matter, but let's keep a close eye - condoning violence? - on his forthcoming Sherlock Holmes project.
