People - Madonna & Guy Enjoy Dinner – Together! – in N.Y.C.
Diners at New York City's 'Cesca, an Italian eatery on the Upper West Side, got a surprise Tuesday night when Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie walked in, holding hands.
They looked "like a normal couple that just wanted to have a nice dinner out," says an onlooker. "They looked very unassuming. Not like they were looking for attention."
Seasoned New Yorkers are quite accustomed to spotting celebrities at the restaurant (and Madonna does have an apartment in the neighborhood). Still, seeing the queen of pop and her director husband together in public is a rare occurrence – and a meaningful one.
"Everyone was whispering and saying, 'Wow, that was Madonna. She is supposed to be separating from her husband. I can't believe she is here,'" the observer adds.
But Madonna and Ritchie didn't flinch. The couple, who've been plagued by breakup rumors, continued with their cozy, hour-long dinner before leaving – also hand-in-hand.
"Madonna's husband Guy arrived in New York last night to be with his wife and family (not in a last-ditch attempt to save his marriage which does not need saving)," the singer's rep Liz Rosenberg told PEOPLE Tuesday. "There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce."

Fire Destroys Madonna's Childhood Home
A fire has destroyed the childhood home of Madonna, gutting the suburban Detroit, MI house in what authorities called ‘suspicious’ circumstances.
The vacant two-storey house in the Rochester Hills area of Detroit went up in flames on Friday night (June 27), after a fire started in the living room of the house causing extensive damage.
Arson experts from the Oakland County Sheriff's Arson Unit and the Rochester Hills Fire Department are carrying out an investigation into the blaze. They were alerted by a passer-by who saw flames shooting out of the house.
Madonna spent her early years in the house with her five siblings.
Meanwhile, the singer is currently dogged with rumours that she is about to divorce Guy Ritchie after the Times of London reported she engaged the same divorce lawyer used by Paul McCartney in his split with Heather Mills.

People - Madonna's Rep: No Divorce, No Affair
Madonna's spokeswoman has released an exclusive statement to PEOPLE rejecting reports that the singer's marriage to her film director husband Guy Ritchie is on the rocks.
"Madonna's husband Guy arrived in New York last night to be with his wife and family (not in a last ditch attempt to save his marriage which does not need saving)," Liz Rosenberg told PEOPLE. "There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce."
Rosenberg also denied a published report of a relationship between the singer and New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez.
"Madonna and Alex have the same manager, Guy Oseary," Rosenberg says. "They have met. They know each other and Madonna took her kids to a Yankees game last week. There's really not anything to comment on beyond that."
Adds Rosenberg: "It's nothing new that people are airing tons of dirty laundry Madonna's way lately – much of it untrue." She joked: "By the way, rumors of Madonna and Lil Wayne are quite exaggerated, as well."

Fire at Madonna's childhood home 'suspicious'
ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- A weekend fire that destroyed a childhood home of Madonna has been deemed suspicious by arson investigators.
The Oakland County Sheriff's Arson Unit and the Rochester Hills Fire Department are investigating the Friday night blaze.
A passer-by had noticed flames coming out of the unoccupied house in the Detroit suburb of Rochester Hills and called the fire department.
Rochester Hills Fire Chief Ron Crowell told The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press the fire appears to have started in the living room area. He said it caused extensive smoke and fire damage throughout the two-story brick house.
The 49-year-old Madonna, known then as Madonna Louise Ciccone, spent some of her younger years as one of six siblings living in the home.

Madge Jumps High With Might
'UHHH . . . I can't jump rope in high heels!"
"Really?"
"Well, not that high a heel."
OK folks, who do we know who would jump rope (double dutch, too) in heels? Of course! It is our old friend, the indomitable Madonna.
La Ciccone has been rehearsing her "Sticky and Sweet" tour in a massive space in New York. Her latest troupe of beautiful dancers is present, as is every other member of a massive Madonna undertaking. When the boss works, everybody works! It is 80 degrees and humid outside. Inside, it's a steam bath. Madonna does not enjoy air conditioning. (Audiences tend to leave her concerts having lost about 10 pounds in water weight.) Everybody looks whipped. Not Madonna.
Without makeup, her long blond hair lank, dressed in funereal black rehearsal togs, she looks fresher, younger and more vital than she does on the red carpet. (She also looks less muscular. Concert lighting and flash photography tends to over-emphasize her toned sinew.) She certainly shakes a tail feather like she is still writhing along the canals in Venice for the "Like a Virgin" video, filmed before most of her dancers were born.
People close to Madonna, those who love her, are always saying, "Why don't you relax more, have some fun?" Sometimes she will agree. But most of the time she doesn't bother to give concerned parties her life memo: hard work - pushing herself to the limit and most of all, dancing is her fun and relaxation. So many of her songs celebrate the power of dance and how it can free you - perhaps just temporarily - from immediate care.

Madonna's brother making reality TV show?
Madonna's brother is set to further embarrass the pop star - he's reportedly planning a reality TV show based on his life as her sibling.
It was announced earlier this month (Jun08) that Christopher Ciccone is writing a tell-all memoir about the superstar, to be published without her permission, with infamous celebrity biographer Wendy Leigh. And now Ciccone, 47, is allegedly shopping around a show that will focus on the fact he's her brother.
A source tells New York gossip column Page Six, "He hasn't gotten a deal yet, but he's been pitching it around."
Madonna's relationship with her younger brother is said to have become strained in recent years, even though the pair worked together intimately in the early 1990s, with Ciccone serving as artistic director on the star's 1991 documentary In Bed With Madonna, and designing and directing her Girlie Show tour in 1993.

Guy Ritchie plans megabash for Madonna's 50th
Amid feverish speculation that Madonna is seeking to divorce her husband Guy Ritchie, I can reveal that behind the scenes a more romantic scenario has been unfolding between the couple.
For in between putting the finishing touches to his latest gangster movie, RocknRolla, to be released in September, Ritchie, 39, has quietly been arranging a lavish party to celebrate Madge's 50th birthday in two months' time.
The film director is planning to invite 200 friends to their country home in Wiltshire in early August.
'This is hardly the action of a man about to be divorced by his wife,' says one close chum.
'I don't think you organise a 50th birthday party for your wife while at the same time consulting lawyers to end your marriage.'
Guy's plans, I am told, are well advanced, although invitations have not yet gone out.
'It will be quite spectacular,' says the friend.
'He's going to push the boat out. He's given it a lot of thought.'

Madonna and Family Attend Sabbath Services
With no wedding ring on her finger and no husband in sight, Madonna and her three children – and Carlos Leon, 11-year-old daughter Lourdes's biological dad – visited Manhattan's Kabbalah Centre Friday night for Sabbath services.
So where was Guy Ritchie, rumored to be splitting with Madonna? British tabloid reports had him in London, but headed to New York this weekend. Britain's Sun has an unnamed source saying Ritchie seeks to keep the couple's marriage going, although Madonna is focused on rehearsals for her upcoming world tour.
On Thursday, it was reported in the London Times Madonna had consulted noted divorce British attorney Fiona Shackleton, who had represented Paul McCartney and Prince Charles in their bitter divorces from, respectively, Heather Mills and Princess Diana.
On Friday night, Madonna's group came in three waves, with Leon and Lourdes arriving first, quickly followed by an SUV carrying her son (with Ritchie) Rocco, 7, and adopted son David, 2, each child with a nanny.
