Singer Amy Winehouse is reportedly "seriously considering" putting an end to her marriage with Blake Fielder-Civil - she is in secret negotiations with her lawyers about divorcing husband.

Winehouse wed Fielder-Civil in a surprise ceremony in Miami, Florida in May 2007.

Fielder-Civil was sentenced to 27 months behind bars earlier this year after being convicted of causing actual bodily harm and perverting the course of justice. He was released from Highpoint Prison in Suffolk Wednesday, after he struck a deal with prosecutors for an early release.

According to reports, pop queen Madonna, currently entangled in nasty divorce proceedings, has lately been showing signs of poor health. After a Kabbalah meeting, Madonna could be seen coughing repeatedly, and her veins were standing out.

The pop superstar, looking quite frail, allegedly tried her best to conceal her deteriorating health behind large sunglasses and a baseball cap. However, she could not hide her repeated coughing fits, and strained looks.

Madonna's failing health appears to be a complete contrast to her 'hale and hearty' looking estranged husband, Guy Ritchie. He has been regularly spotted raising glasses with his mates at his pub.

"I based my life on the relationships, the love and all that I could give to tennis. But I couldn't manage to express it anymore these past months," she said, naming retirement "a great day in my life."

Brolin revealed that when he told Streisand the news, she freaked out.

“She said: ‘How much are you getting paid?’ I told her it was a very low fee. She said, ‘Then why are you doing it?’” the New York Post quoted him as telling The Times of London.
