AND YOU'VE BEEN MARRIED ALL OF SIX WEEKS, ELTON...

We're sure David Furnish means well when he starts talking about how Elton John is offering marriage guidance to Madonna:

"Elton and I have spoken to Madonna plenty of times lately. She and Guy are close friends of ours.

"They both need to concentrate on their careers if they want their relationship to work. Elton and I completely understand.

"But if they neglect that, their relationship will inevitably disintegrate.

"They will be fine if they don't neglect what they love to do. If that means they can't see each other, that's the way it has to be."

... but presumably Furnish hasn't realised the official line is that Ciccone and Ritchie are "quite happy" and, thus, in no need to marriage guidance from anyone.

Of course, John is the perfect person for Madonna to talk to - both have music careers; both are married to men who give their job description as filmmakers although people are hard pressed to name any movies they've made this century.
