(ANI):
Guy
Ritchie
dined
with
wife
Madonna's
best
friend
Gwyneth
Paltrow
but
the
pop
icon
herself
was
missing.
The
impromptu
meal
also
saw
Paltrow's
rocker
hubby,
Chris
Martin,
and
actor
Robert
Downey
Jr.
but
Madge
was
nowhere
in
sight
Apparently,
the
meeting
was
regarding
Downey
Jr.,
starring
in
Ritchie's
"Sherlock
Holmes" flick,
reports
New
York
Daily
News.
The
director
has
had
a
series
of
flops
and
it
is
believed
that
the
actress
might
have
used
some
of
her
"Iron
Man" pull
with
Downey
to
hitch
him
in
Ritchie's
latest
project.
Meanwhile,
Madonna's
brother
Christopher,
in
his
autobiography
has
revealed
that
the
pop
icon's
marriage
to
director
hubby
is
hanging
by
the
thin
thread
of
their
religion.
He
said
that
one
of
the
only
things
that's
keeping
the
couple
together
is
Kabbalah,
a
cross
between
Judaism,
Catholicism
and
Buddhism,

the
Daily
Star.
