With a megabucks divorce looming on the horizon, the famously gobby star couldn't resist making a thinly-veiled attack on Ritchie.
Most celebs who'djust taken a sleighride to Splitsville would maintain a dignified silence, slip into their jammies, take the phone off the hook and wallow in self pity - but not Madge.
Before a crowd of 20,000 cheering fans, the defiant Queen of Pop's first words as she played the opening bars of her hit
Uncomfortable silence can be so loud/Those three words are never enough/When it's long distance love/
When I'm gone you'll realise/That I'm the best thing that happened to you.'
"So many people have to deal with long-distance relationships," she told Elle magazine of the song earlier this year. "It's not easy. You have to work hard to make it work."
It was supposedly later confirmed by her spokesperson that Madge's comment referred to Guy, so says entertainmentwise.com.
Madge's Boston gig was the 23rd on her tour, which ends in December.
Just like the five steps of grieving, Madge 'n Guy are going through the motions of a separation. They're at the 'silent treatment' phase at the mo, and have been for quite some time, according to reports.
A snitch says that the couple are so estranged, they now only communicate through their personal assistants.
"It has become so bad that they cannot be in a room together for more than a few minutes without having a shouting match," adds the snitch.
Another snitch tells Usmagazine.com: "All her friends and family have known all along. They had to keep it under wraps and really tried to work things out. They tried for years, actually."
Meanwhile, things are hotting up between Madonna and
Cruise's spokesperson Jeff Raymond, says: "This is completely not true. Tom is not in New Zealand nor has he been there recently. This is erroneous and unreliable internet garbage."
A similar erronous report surfaced in 2006 when it was claimed that Hollywood actor Tom Hanks had fallen to his death at the same spot.
