Though no one could care less about Jerry Seinfeld and his new show ‘The Marriage Ref’, it’s being said that a special upcoming guest star should pique everyone’s interest. And mine was definitely piqued! The Queen of Pop Madonna will be on the NBC show listening to married couples ramble about their problems and give them advice. I’m not entirely sure that she’d be the first choice for marriage counseling given her failed marriages and relationships but I am interested to hear what she says. Other guests slated to appear on the show are Ricky Gervais and Matthew Broderick. How do you think they would fare?

Abbey Road, the iconic Beatles stomping ground and EMI studio, has been put up for sale.
The band used the Abbey Road studios to record an album of the same name and put the image of themselves crossing the street outside the studio on the front of its cover. Abbey Road was the band’s haunt for most of the 1960s.
But now battling debt, EMI will put the north London studios in St John’s Wood up for sale.
EMI declined to comment on the sale but it is estimated a sale could reap the music group tens of millions of pounds. EMI faces debts arising from a 2007 buyout by private equity firm Terra Firma.
Whether the sale of the studios includes the Abbey Road brand was not yet known. A media lawyer said: “The brand is worth more than the building. Anybody who wants the studios will want the brand.”
EMI bought the property for £100,000 in 1929. Pink Floyd recorded Dark Side Of The Moon at Abbey Road, while other bands to use the studios include Radiohead, the Manic Street Preachers, Travis and Blur.
