Madonna causing ripples with Guy

Madonna said today that her husband Guy Ritchie instructs her to cover up and not to dress "like an old slapper".

In a Radio One interview with DJ Jo Wiley, Madonna said: "He doesn't like it when I wear seethrough shirts - because he doesn't want anyone to see my raspberries." (Cockney rhyming slang: think "raspberry ripples".)

The 43-year-old pop icon, who wed Ritchie in a glittering Highland ceremony in Dornoch in December, also said that her husband hates her being so time-conscious.

She said: "He hates that I remember everything and he forgets everything. I'm very punctual and he's very unpunctual."

Madonna also let slip her plans to make it as a movie star. She said she would rather win an Oscar for acting than for singing.

Madonna has warmed to the idea of being English.

The family have just moved into a sixbedroom, £5.7 million townhouse near Oxford Street, and also own a £9 million rural estate in Wiltshire.

Today she also said that she likes it when people call her "Lady Ritchie", and even considers buying an estate which would give her and Guy the names Lord and Lady Ritchie, saying: "That's all you have to do, isn't it? You buy an estate to become a lady?"
