Madonna Officially Takes On Guy Ritchie's Name


Pop queen MADONNA is now officially known as MRS M L C RITCHIE - according to her AMERICAN EXPRESS platinum credit card.

The MATERIAL GIRL star and a close friend were shopping in a London art gallery when she produced the card that confirms she's legally surrendered her own family name, CICCONE, for her director husband's title.

The name-change has come as a shock to pals of Madonna, 42, after her refusal to take on actor SEAN PENN's name when the couple married in the summer of 1985. (RP/HET/KW)
