UK judge to grant divorce
CELEBRITY

Musician Madonna poses for photos before the Sept. 1 premiere of "Rock n Rolla," directed by her husband, Guy Ritchie. A judge is likely to grant the couple an initial divorce decree today in London High Court.
LONDON — A judge will likely grant Madonna and Guy Ritchie an initial divorce decree on Friday, according to the schedule for London's High Court.
The court lists "Ciccone M L v Ritchie G S" as one of 17 cases for "matrimonial and civil partnership causes for pronouncement of decree." That means a judge is to grant the couple a preliminary divorce decree, or decree nisi.
It is unusual for the couple to attend court in such cases.
After six weeks and a day, the couple will probably be granted a decree absolute and the divorce will become final.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
British media reported Thursday that the celebrity pair had reached a settlement which would see the pop superstar keep the majority of her estimated 300 million pound ($445 million) fortune and share custody of two of her children with her film-director husband.
The papers said the couple had also reached a deal regarding their two children: Rocco, 8, and David Banda, 3, who was adopted from Malawi in 2006.
A report in the Evening Standard newspaper said Ritchie had refused to take any of Madonna's assets, while the Times of London said Madonna would hold on to the bulk of her fortune.
The two boys would split their time between Britain and the United States, the papers said, while Lourdes — Madonna's 12-year-old daughter from a previous relationship with personal trainer Carlos Leon — will live with her mother in the United States.
Neither paper cited a named source for their reports and requests for comment from representatives for the couple were not immediately returned.
An agreement between the two would avoid an ugly, public and expensive courtroom battle like the one between former Beatle Paul McCartney and model Heather Mills. Mills has said the media coverage of the rancorous divorce had pushed her to the brink of suicide;
McCartney compared the process to going through hell.
Madonna and Ritchie, director of "Snatch" and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," married in December 2000 at Skibo Castle in the Scottish Highlands.
In recent years, however, the relationship was dogged by rumors that the pair had fallen out over Madonnas plans to adopt a second child from Malawi. Media reports
over the summer — denied by Madonna — linked the singer to the breakup of New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez's marriage to his ex-wife Cynthia.
Madonna and Ritchie announced last month they were divorcing after almost eight years of marriage. They own homes in London, Los Angeles and New York, and a 1,200-acre retreat in Wiltshire, England.
PHILANTHROPY Affleck to raise awareness of Congolese refugees
GOMA, Congo — Ben Affleck is talking to children and aid officials in refugee camps in war-torn eastern Congo in an effort to raise awareness of the conflict that has displaced at least 250,000 people.
The actor has visited the Central African country four times since 2007 and also has made a documentary about its problems.
"I'm not an expert in international affairs or diplomacy, but it doesn't take that to see the tremendous suffering here," he told the Associated Press on Thursday in Goma, the regional capital. "It's not something that we as human
Some fear the current crisis could once again draw in neighboring countries. Congo's devastating 1998-2002 war split the vast nation into rival fielddoms and involved half a dozen African armies.
Years of sporadic violence in eastern Congo intensified in August, when fighting heated up between the army and fighters loyal to rebel leader Laurent Nkunda.
is to urge people to give money to the NGOs and charities doing hard work in eastern Congo on meager funds," he said. "And if people out there have an existing relationship with a charity, to urge that charity to get involved in eastern Congo. To let people know, 'Don't just read the horror stories in the newspapers and turn off'"
"I'm really glad that more people are paying more attention to (Congo) now but I'm really sadened that it taken this uptick in violence to make that happen," Affleck said.
"The primary reason ! am here
Affleck said he first became interested in Congo a few years ago, when Hollywood's attentions began to focus another African crisis, Darfur. After doing more research on Africa, he was shocked to learn about Congo's four-year war, during which an estimated 5 million people died.
