Nigel Dempster, the Daily Mail gossip columnist, has reported that Madonna is pregnant for the second time and by Guy Richie, the 30-year-old British director of the movie 'Lock, Stock and Two Smokin' Barrels'[1]. Madonna recently bought a four million-pound mansion in South Kensington. Her forthcoming movie 'The Next Big Thing' concerns a woman, played by Madonna, who has a child with a gay friend who then battle for custody of the infant. Madonna's London residence is believed to have bought in preparation for the impending UK-based education that she plans for her three-year-old daughter Lourdes.

Whilst the now 41-year-old once hated the place, due to the rough time she had with our paparazzi[2] in the mid-eighties during her marriage to Sean Penn, Madonna places the UK at top of her list of 'suitable educational environments' for Lourdes and has allegedly put her name down for the nearby French Lycee, also in South Ken.
