Leonardo DiCaprio is Dating Another Model

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio has been photographed cuddling with 23-year-old Russian Sports Illustrated beauty Anne Vyalitsyna on Spanish party island Ibiza.

Onlookers claim the young model seemed thrilled with all the attention from the Revolutionary Road star who couldn't seem to keep his hands off of her.

Leonardo's rep would not confirm that the two are dating.

The actor has been linked to several high-profile women, including Cameron Diaz and Pussycat Dolls singer Ashley Roberts, since he split from supermodel Bar Refaeli earlier this year.

He was recently overheard asking his friend Guy Ritchie to find him a cute British girl during a night out at London nightclub Whisky Mist.

But Guy did not have to do a thing because Leonardo was swamped by "stunning" women desperate to get to know him.

"Leo was pointing out the girls he fancied to the security guards, who then invited them over," a source said. He was having a great time knocking back champagne and having girls swarm over him."

Madonna Hearing To Be Public




Madonna and Guy Ritchie's custody hearing will be made public.

The legal meeting to decide the arrangements for their two sons - Rocco, eight, and David, three - has been moved to the New York Supreme Court.

Unlike English family law court cases, the inquiry - which will take place on March 2 - will be open to the general public.

Madonna - who also has a daughter, Lourdes, 12, from a previous relationship - is planning to move to New York with her children and needs US courts to ratify a custody deal negotiated in London.

A source said "There is going to be a hearing next month and the papers that have been filed will be available then.

"The New York hearing will confirm the English proceedings. There will be revelations, but the divorce remains amicable and intelligently handled."

She will be forced to provide the court with details about her divorce proceedings, including financial arrangements and demands for her sons' welfare.

Madonna's Ritchie weekend




Madonna and Guy Ritchie have spent the weekend together in New York.

Guy met his ex-wife Madonna at the New York Kabbalah centre just a few days after the singer won custody of their children.

An onlooker said: "Guy was smiling and in good spirits. He still spends time with Madonna as a family."

This was reportedly the second weekend in a row the estranged couple have met at the Kabbalah centre with their children: Rocco, eight, adopted son David, three, and Madonna's daughter Lourdes, 12.

Guy's father, John Ritchie, has recently said the couple are maintaining an amicable relationship because of their children, but he is delighted Madonna is distracting herself with "lots of boyfriends".

The protective father, 79, said: "The worst thing would be if they reconciled."

Meanwhile, the marriage of one Madonna's reported love interests, baseball star Alex Rodriguez, has officially ended.

Documents issued at a US county court stated his marriage to Cynthia was "irretrievably broken".Rodriguez - known as 'A-Rod' - split from his wife of five years in the summer, following reports the sportsman had been dashing out for night time visits to Madonna's New York apartment.

Guy Ritchie's 'worst' reunion




Guy Ritchie's dad says it would be a tragedy if he got back with Madonna.

John Ritchie is pleased his son and the singer have parted ways, and is even more delighted Madonna is distracting herself with "lots of boyfriends" because "she won't be looking for him".

The protective father told In Touch Weekly magazine: "The worst thing would be if they reconciled."

While Guy's dad welcomes the split, he says relations between the pair are amicable and all they care about is the happiness of the children they raise together - 12-year-old Lourdes, eight-year-old Rocco and David, three.

He said: "There are no big arguments between them. All they discuss is the children."
Meanwhile, Madonna, 50, has failed to buy a horse despite throwing money at the owners.

The equine loving star spotted the magnificent beast at the Florida Equestrian Show and asked her staff to secure its purchase.

However, the owners declined the generous offer and delivered a further snub when Madonna offered a New York apartment as well to seal the deal.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie Settlement as finally been reached



Madonna and Guy Ritchie have dismissed reports that they’re still wrangling over their divorce settlement.

The director has issued a statement insisting they’ve reached a satisfactory agreement.

But it points out that the £50 million payout that Guy, 40, was reported to have received is inaccurate.

‘We have tried to maintain a dignified silence regarding the details of our divorce for the last few months whilst accepting the obvious media interest,’ the statement says.

‘A misleading and inaccurate statement, specifically in relation to the sums of money involved, was wrongly issued this week. The financial details of the settlement will remain private, save to say that both of us are happy with our agreement.’

Madonna and the director are yet to finalise custody arrangements for Rocco, 8, and adopted David Banda, 3, reports the BBC.

The pair were granted a decree nisi in November on the grounds of Guy’s 'unreasonable behaviour' - a month after they announced their separation.

Madge, 50, is also mum to Lourdes, 12, with ex Carlos Leon.

Madonna & Guy Reach Settlement


I hope you're sitting down. Our favorite Material Girl is forking over a whole load of her, well, material. Madonna has settled her divorce with ex-husband Guy Ritchie for at least 50 million pounds ($76 million US), the singer's spokeswoman said Monday.

The pair were married in a lavish ceremony in December 2000 at Skibo Castle in the Scottish Highlands. Ritchie made out pretty well, I'd say!

Liz Rosenberg told The Associated Press the settlement was in the range of 50 million to 60 million pounds ($76 million to $92 million) as part of their divorce agreement, a figure she said included the value of the couple's country home, Ashcombe House in western England. Millions of dollars and a house, I'd take it.

However, we do feel bad for those cute little kids of theirs. Divorce is certainly fun for no one!

Madonna and ex- Guy Ritchie: Pair still to reach agreement over who’ll get kids over festive period



Madonna and ex-husband Guy Ritchie are said to be locked in a stalemate over who will have their children for Christmas.

The director wants to have traditional celebrations with sons Rocco, 8, and adopted David Banda, 3, at his Wiltshire mansion.

But Madonna, 50, who doesn’t observe the festivities because of her Kabbalah religion, wants the boys to stay in New York with her.

‘Under the terms of the divorce, it is actually up to Guy and Madonna to sort out the access,’ a source tells the Daily Mail.

‘Guy wants a traditional Christmas with his parents and the boys at Ashcombe but Madonna has just put her foot down.

'Madonna and Guy do not liaise at all on anything any more – it all goes through their PAs.’

Madge, who also has daughter Lourdes, 12, from a previous relationship, and Guy, 40, were granted a decree nisi in November.

Removal men were called to their London home yesterday to sort out their belongings.

‘Madonna wanted Guy’s stuff out,’ a source tells The Sun.

'They found it easy to split their things. Just like their marriage, there was Guy’s world and Madonna’s world.’

Robert Downey Jr.: TKO!

Photo Credit: Jaded4Good

A freak accident on the set of Robert Downey Jr.'s latest movie was less 'Iron Man' and more iron chin.

The Sun reports that Downey Jr. was knocked unconscious when a 350-pound stuntman accidentally punched him during a scene they were filming for 'Sherlock Holmes.' According to the report, Downey Jr. was "out cold" and was "drooling blood" when he came to.

An insider tells the Sun that the 'Iron Man' and 'Tropic Thunder' star was "accidentally caught on the chin by a thundering hook. He went flying and was out cold."

The source says Downey Jr. "didn't want to go to hospital and kept trying to get up. He's a trooper."

The Sun also reports that the day after the incident, Downey Jr's costar Jude Law (Dr. Watson) had to scramble to safety with director Guy Ritchie when a gas tanker exploded.

"The crew have started joking about the curse of Sherlock Holmes." the source said.

(I blame Madonna...!)

Guy Ritchie Doesn't Want a Cent!

Photo Credit: Babble.com

The Daily Mail has reported that Madonna and Guy Ritchie have reached agreement on their divorce - with the British film director refusing to take a penny of the pop star’s cash.

An announcement could come by the end of the month, a source close to the negotiations tells London's Evening Standard.

Another report, in The Times, claimed that notice of a decree nisi (divorce settlement) would be posted in the Registry of the Family Division in London within twenty-four hours.

Madonna will walk away from the eight-year marriage with her fortune, estimated at $600 million, intact.

The only thing Guy asked for is joint-custody of his two boys, Rocco and David. A source said that the two boys will split their time between London and New York. Lourdes will stay in New York with her mother (her father, Carlos Leon, also lives in NYC).

A source said, "It will be all over by the end of the month. The priority for him has always been the children. Ritchie has not wanted her money. He has done exactly what Billie Piper did when she divorced Chris Evans. She walked away without any of his money, much to her credit. Guy Ritchie has done the same."

Guy Ritchie obviously has a heart made of gold and rainbows, because anyone else (**coughHEATHER MILLScough**) would have taken Madonna to the cleaners.

Accusations fly in Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s bitter divorce battle



As the accusations fly in Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s bitter divorce battle, one claim’s stung more than most.

Madonna’s always denied having anything but a friendship with Alex Rodriguez, 33, known as A-Rod, but she’s formed an emotional attachment to the baseball player.

At the same time, wild speculation has linked Guy, 40, to various women - including good friend Lauren Meek, associal producer of RocknRolla, and ex Tania Strecker, who now's married - but there's absolutely nothing going on.

The rumours have been so outrageous that the film-maker has been forced to take legal action.

‘Guy’s never once considered the possibility that Madonna would go off with someone else,’ a source close to the couple tells Now.

‘He hasn’t been seeing other people while married, although he does admit they didn’t sleep in the same bed for months. He still believes that nothing physical has happened with A-Rod either.’

Insiders say 50-year-old Madonna’s planning to introduce A-Rod to her children at a kabbalah meeting in New York in a matter of weeks. A-Rod is staying tight-lipped on the subject.

When out with Guy Oseary, the manager they share, A-Rod refused to answer photographers’ questions about Madonna. He’s divorcing his wife Cynthia, 35, and looking for a new home, leading to speculation that he plans to buy a house in the same New York neighbourhood as Madonna.

‘There’s a bond between Madonna and A-Rod based on kabbalah,’ our source adds. ‘Nothing else has happened, but he’s important to her. They could be a couple in the future – unless she looks elsewhere.’

Madonna's 'marriage contract'




Madonna tried to control Guy Ritchie with a "marriage contract", it has been claimed.

The "contract" was drawn up after the couple - who split after nearly eight years of marriage two weeks ago - visited marriage counsellors two years ago.

The document gave intimate instructions such as how much private time the couple should have together, how often they were to have sex and how to tackle arguments.

According to Britain's The Sun newspaper the document ordered Guy to "Work to enrich his wife's emotional and spiritual wellbeing," and devote time to reading texts related to Kabbalah, the mystical offshoot of Judaism which Madonna follows.

On sex, the marriage rules state both of the couple should "devote time to our sexual expressiveness" and "not use sex as a stick to beat one another".

The rules also detailed how Guy should "resolve conflicts in a constructive way", and if they were arguing he must not shout at his wife, but look her in the eye and say: "I understand that my actions have upset you, please work with me to resolve this."

A source close to the couple said: "Guy felt bound up."

According to other insiders, Madonna pinned the contract to the wall of the couple's home in New York, and if things became heated between them, she would say: "Contract, Guy, contract."

The British film director was spotted on the set of his new film 'Sherlock Holmes' in the UK yesterday (28.10.08), strumming a classical guitar.

He reportedly took up the instrument after Madonna bought him one while they were dating.

After Guy reportedly rejected his wife's initial offer of a £20 million settlement, Madonna's friends are reportedly calling him "Material Guy", in reference to her famous hit 'Material Girl'. He maintains he is only requesting the cash equivalent of the value of their London home - estimated to be worth £25 million - and their country estate in Wiltshire.

Guy Ritchie out with the guys after a week of divorce announcement


Barely a week after his impending divorce from Madonna was announced, Guy found something to smile about in the company of his A-list pals Robert and Jude. The trio were attending a private view by renowned contemporary artist Sam Taylor-Wood.

Guy Ritchie put a brave face on his domestic troubles, enjoying a night out with friends Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr on Thursday. It's the first time the film maker has been seen out on the town since the announcement of his split from Madonna.

After a day's work filming on Guy's latest flick Sherlock Holmes, in which Robert and Jude star, the trio headed for artist Sam Taylor-Wood's exhibition at the White Cube gallery in London.

Though the 40-year-old discreetly refused to comment on the divorce proceedings, he was smiling and looked relaxed in the company of his buddies and other A-list guests such as Benicio del Toro, Hugh Grant and Daniel Craig.

The Londoner and his estranged wife are reportedly still working out arrangements for the care of their children, 12-year-old Lourdes, Rocco, eight, and three-year-old David, who was adopted from Malawi.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie's bitter divorse takes its toll




MADONNA is having intense Kabbalah “anger management” counselling to deal with her fury against GUY RITCHIE — as the couple’s bitter divorce takes its toll.

Husband ... Guy in London
The 50-year-old singer, who was last night in Montreal for a concert on her world tour, is expected to head back to New York this weekend to visit the city’s Kabbalah Centre.

She also has a counsellor from the mystical Jewish faith who accompanies her on the road to help handle her boiling rage over the split.

Sources say Madge — mum to daughter Lourdes, 12, son Rocco, eight, and adopted tot David Banda — is furious over Guy’s money demands and the way ugly details of their relationship have leaked out.

A tour source said: “Madonna is very angry with Guy — about his cold treatment of her in the marriage, about the nasty details of their marriage that have leaked out, and about the money he is demanding.

“She’s furious that he feels entitled to get a lot of cash, while she’s the one working her ass off on tour.

Emotion

“She is getting help from a Kabbalah counsellor who is helping her try to put aside her anger, so they can settle the divorce as quickly as possible for the sake of the children.

“The counsellor is telling her she will meet her soulmate — but first has to calm her anger.”

After The Sun revealed last week that the couple were to divorce, the split has become increasingly acrimonious — with Madonna saying Guy, 40, “emotionally abandoned” her.

She was heartbroken over his alleged cold treatment of her after she fell from a horse in 2005, breaking five ribs and several other bones. Now she is fuming over his claims for her cash in their upcoming divorce settlement.

One pal said: “Madonna feels that Guy is being a gold-digger, and she is furious that he feels entitled to a lot of money from her.

“She feels he didn’t contribute as much as her during the marriage so shouldn’t expect to take so much away.

“She has turned to Kabbalah to sooth her rage, and is getting intense counselling on the road and at the Kabbalah Centre in New York.”

Madge was seen leaving the Centre last week during a brief break from her gruelling Sticky & Sweet tour.

Kabbalah teaches that to find a real soulmate a person must put aside anger and will to win in a relationship — and become a better person.

Its relationship advice reads: “Difficulties and disagreements are without exception opportunities for us to become that right person.”

Madonna turned increasingly to Kabbalah as her eight-year marriage to film director Guy struggled.

But he took a step back from the faith, describing it as “not really a religion.”

The Sun told yesterday how pals believed the marriage was “haunted” by Madonna’s suspicions that Guy secretly preferred his leggy ex-girlfriend TANIA STRECKER to her.

Model Tania, 35, was snapped yesterday at her West London home.

Guy Ritchie's model lust



Madonna believes Guy Ritchie secretly lusted after his ex-girlfriend during their marriage, it has been claimed.

The singer was reportedly plagued by suspicions the British director preferred his former flame Tania Strecker - a 6ft tall model with 37in legs - especially after Tania claimed Guy was still seeing her when he began romancing Madonna.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Tania is stunning and 15 years younger than Madonna.

"Madonna took Guy from Tania, but never really trusted him that he loved her for herself."

The 50-year-old singer is believed to have told friends she fears Guy would have remained with Tania if it hadn't been for Madonna's multi-million pound fortune.

The source added: "Today she is consumed by the fear that Guy was more interested in her for her money.

"And that - if it hadn't been for her fortune - he'd have stayed with Tania rather than marry her."

In 2001, Tania claimed her romance with Guy was far from over when he began dating the '4 Minutes' singer in 1999.

She also alleged their relationship had only fizzled out "a year ago, a year-and-a-half ago".

If Tania's first claim is true they would still have been together just months before Madonna and Guy's star-studded wedding in December 2000.

If the second allegation is true, Tania would still have been romancing Guy when Madonna was pregnant with the couple's son Rocco, now eight.

When Tania was quizzed on the apparent overlap by radio presenters, she said: "No-one's figured it out so I'm not going to say anything. It might do."

Guy has always strongly denied claims he continued his relationship with Tania while dating Madonna.

The filmmaker has also been forced to deny reports he cheated on Madonna with "a secret lover" towards the end of their nearly eight-year marriage.

His spokesman dismissed the claims as "absolutely untrue".

Gold-digger' Guy Ritchie




Madonna has branded Guy Ritchie a "gold-digger" despite his claims he wants "not one penny" of her reported £300 million fortune.

Friends of Madonna, 50, have dismissed Guy's assertions he isn't interested in her fortune, saying he is now only interested in getting her cash.

According to Britain's The Sun newspaper, the '4 Minutes' singer told a pal: "I'm totally devastated that Guy's turned out to be such a gold-digger. I thought we'd been on a spiritual journey together for the past 10 years - but obviously I was wrong. He's just after my money.


"I've worked my butt off for the last 30 years to get what I have, and now this gold-digger wants to take it from me. He keeps upping his demands - he just wants more, and more, and more from me. It's unbelievable."

Reports have also surfaced claiming the former couple have a prenuptial agreement which denies the British director the right to the money Madonna has amassed during their near eight-year marriage.

The other major issue in the pair's divorce is custody of the three children they raise together - Lourdes, 12, Rocco, eight and adopted David Banda, three.

'RocknRolla' director Guy, 40, has insisted on having full access to the children as part of the couple's divorce settlement.

But despite reports last week claiming Madonna spent extended periods of time away from her kids, the pop superstar's friends claim she is the "rock of the family".

The source added: "Guy has never contributed towards the running of the family and his son's schooling. Contrary to the image being projected, Madonna's been the rock of the family. She's the one who has the kids with her at all times.

"They are home-schooled and they go on the road with her."

Guy's spokespeople insist he is not a gold-digger and say he could claim much more of Madonna's fortune than he is asking for.

The pair's lawyers are still negotiating the terms of the divorce deal.

Guy Ritchie and Madonna marriage broke down because of her dedication to Kabbalah



Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s marriage broke down because of her dedication to Kabbalah and an obsessive 4-hour daily exercise regime, claim pals.

Long yoga sessions made the 50-year-old so tired that before they announced their split, it’s reported that Madonna and Guy hadn’t made love for 18 months.

‘He got more and more frustrated as she spent nearly half the day working out,’ a source tells The News Of The World.

When the film director, 40 – who doesn't share his wife’s 'mumbo jumpbo' spiritual beliefs – did embrace her, he’s said to have quipped that it was like ‘cuddling up to a piece of gristle’.

The pair are now sorting out the details of their divorce.

Madonna's doomed marriage




Madonna's marriage was doomed after Guy Ritchie's "unsympathetic" reaction to her 2005 horse riding accident.

The turning point in the couple's relationship came when the singer broke eight bones in the fall, after which Madonna claims she received a "complete lack of love and sympathy" from her husband according to friends.

Pals believe the accident - which happened as she was celebrating her 47th birthday at the couple's Wiltshire home - caused many arguments between the couple and in one outburst after the incident Madonna reportedly asked Guy: "Did you ever really love me?"

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "From the moment Madonna fell from that horse, their marriage was doomed. If you can pinpoint an exact event, Madonna's horse-riding accident was it. Every other row the couple had following that boiled down to what happened that summer.

"Guy approached the whole thing in what she now calls, 'A very British way'. Instead of smothering her with sympathy he said, 'Come on darling, you're a tough bird. You'll be back on the horse in no time.'

"In Madonna's mind, she could have been killed, and she wanted to be lavished with love and attention.

"She was so furious at what she saw as Guy's lack of support and cruelty that she told him she was wrong to marry him."

Madonna broke four ribs, her collar bone, scapula and her left knuckle after falling from her horse.

After the accident, Madonna apparently confided to friends: "Guy can't possibly be my soulmate."

Friends of the star - who announced her divorce from Guy on Wednesday (15.10.08) - also claim she blames Guy's attitude on his British public school upbringing and has ruled out the idea of ever dating another English man.

Madonna told a pal Guy's action were "typical of emotionally-stunted British men".

The 50-year-old singer is continuing on her US tour, while Guy, 40, remains in London and has immersed himself in filming his new project 'Sherlock Holmes'.

The couple - who were married for almost eight years - are expected to divorce by Christmas.

Guy Ritchie blasts




Guy Ritchie has branded Madonna "obsessed", saying "the laughs in our life together were long gone," as their divorce proceedings begin.

Madonna and Guy, whose nearly eight-year marriage came to an end yesterday (15.10.08), are set to divorce by Christmas.

Heartbroken director Guy has now admitted to friends how much the pair's love deteriorated in recent months.

According to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, the 'RocknRolla' filmmaker told friends: "I'm afraid the laughs in our life together were long gone. She's obsessed with her own public image, obsessed with being seen as some kind of global soothsayer. It's silly, she's a pop star.

"I just wanted a regular husband and wife thing. But it was always a great song and dance just to do ordinary stuff.

"There was a time when she used to have a sense of humour about herself. In the last few years she just got angry. In the end, we had no proper family life at all. We were two different people, living two different lives."

Madonna, 50, has hit back claiming Guy, 40, was selfish and put his own interests ahead of his family.

According to Britain's The Sun newspaper, the '4 Minutes' singer has accused her spouse of refusing to spend his own money, ignored her pleas to spend more time in New York and shunned her faith in the Kabbalah religion.

She also says he wouldn't support her emotionally over plans to adopt a second child and increasingly quarrelled about her career eclipsing his own.

Guy is "incandescent with rage" over the allegations, branding his wife's faith a "weird religion".

A source said: "Guy's initial support and interest in Kabbalah turned to annoyance and hatred. Guy doesn't believe Kabbalah is a religion on a par with Christianity. He thinks a lot of it is hokum - which has infuriated Madonna."

Proceedings in the divorce case are said to have already been set in motion with Madonna hiring top lawyer Fiona Shackleton - who previously represented both Prince Charles and Beatles musician Paul McCartney in their divorce battles - and has reportedly already issued Guy with legal papers.

It is believed the estranged pair are determined to settle the divorce without the need to go to court.

Sources say Guy reluctantly signed a pre-nuptial agreement before the marriage, guaranteeing him only a lump sum payout instead of a share of Madonna's estimated £260 million fortune, while other sources say he has said wants "not one penny" of her money.

The couple, who were first reported to have marriage troubles in June, raise three children together - Lourdes, 12, Madonna's child by dancer Carlos Leon, Rocco, eight, and adopted David Banda, two.

It is not clear who will get custody of the children.

Guy Ritchie could win £75m in Madonna divorce battle



But singer said to have offered director a £15m lump sum and their country mansion

Madonna might have to pay a whopping £75million to husband Guy Ritchie as part of their divorce settlement.

The couple, who are not thought to have signed a pre-nup, announced their separation last night.

'Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after seven and a half years of marriage,’ read a statement. 'They have both requested that the media maintain respect for their family at this difficult time. A final settlement has not been agreed upon yet.'

Insiders say the director, 40, is entitled to at least half of the £80million the couple earned during their marriage.

Guy could also walk away with another £35million worth of property and maintenance payments, bringing his total payout to £75million, reports the Daily Mail.

Madonna, 50, is thought to have already offered Guy their £12million country estate Ashcombe House and a lump sum of £15million to avoid a bitter court battle.

The Material Girl, who has an estimated personal fortune of £275million, has hired Sir Paul McCartney’s divorce lawyer Fiona Shackleton.

Meanwhile, she performed at Boston’s Banknorth Garden for the latest stop of her Sticky & Sweet world tour last night and didn’t refer to the split once.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie to divorce - it's official



Pair said to have fallen out over adoption plans

Madonna and Guy Ritchie have made an official statement, confirming the break-up of their 7-year marriage.

They would like the media to 'maintain respect for their family at this difficult time', Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg tells the Associated Press.

Recent rows are said to have escalated because although Guy, 40, loves adopted son David Banda, 3, he does not want to have more kids.

‘Guy adores David and is glad they went ahead with the adoption,’ says a source. ‘But he doesn’t want to adopt another child when their marriage is rocky.

It’s a real bone of contention. Everyone agrees it is unfair on the children to witness such terrible arguments and so the divorce has been agreed.’



The relationship is said to have become so strained that Madonna, 50, and Guy are communicating only through their aides.

‘Guy has been the one who has come to the conclusion that enough is enough,' the source tells the Daily Mail.

'They had planned to make it work in the New Year...but it quickly became clear that the relationship was not worth saving.'

Madonna is also mum to Lourdes, 12, with ex Carlos Leon, and Rocco, 8, with Guy. 

The film director is expected to move out of the marital home in Marylebone, London, and into his Wiltshire mansion.
