Madonna may as well have put a ring on it as far as Jesus Luz is concerned.

“I consider myself a married man,” the 23-year-old told Brazilian mag RG Vogue.

“At my age, my father was also married.” While the model doesn’t have any children, Madge’s four kids might as well be his own.

“I have a family,” the hunk says, adding that age ain’t nothin’ but a number. “My mother gave birth to me when she was 15.”

Madonna doesn’t think a wife should withhold sex from a sloppy husband.

But she believes a wife should dispose of her late husband’s prosthetic leg to spare the feelings of the wife’s current mate.

This was some of Madonna’s relationship advice on NBC’s “The Marriage Ref,” where she joined actor-comedians Larry David and Ricky Gervais as a guest panelist on Thursday’s edition.

The show invites its panel of “experts” to help analyze real-life disputes between married couples, mostly for laughs. Host Tom Papa, aka The Marriage Ref, makes the final call.

In one case, Mindy Goldman was offering sexual favors to Alan, her husband of 28 years, if he would clean up their messy basement.

A good idea? “I think it’s weird that she wants him to be clean so that they can be dirty,” cracked Madonna.

Gervais wondered, “Could they combine the sex with the housework?”

Then Susan and David Harper, married for three years, were seen in their house squabbling over possessions left over from their past relationships. Susan wanted her husband to get rid of the sofa where David and his ex-wife might have had hanky-panky, while David complained about Susan hanging on to the ashes and prosthetic leg of Don, her late husband.

Madonna’s swift solution: “He gets rid of the couch, she gets rid of the leg.”

“This is easily the most uncomfortable hour I’ve ever spent in my life,” sighed Larry David in the midst of the debate.

“Why?” Madonna retorted. “Because you’re sitting next to a woman who’s standing up to you?”

“The Marriage Ref,” which premiered last week, has Jerry Seinfeld as a creator and producer.

Madonna has teamed up with her teenage daughter to create a fashion line for young women.

The pop superstar is launching her own style empire, called MG Icon, and she is making her first venture, a juniors line, a family affair by inviting 13-year-old Lourdes to help her create the designs.

The Material Girl brand will hit shelves at U.S. department store chain Macy’s in August 2010 and will include clothing, footwear and accessories.

Madonna will add beauty and fragrance products to the Material Girl range next year.

A statement from Madonna reads, “Joining forces with (clothing makers) Iconix to bring my fashion ideas to consumers is very exciting for me. I look forward to working… to create and translate my vision and ideas for MG Icon.”

Madonna has previously designed a 2007 fashion line for high street retailer H&M. She was due to team up with Los Angeles-based fashion mogul Christian Audigier last year but pulled out of plans at the last minute.

Madonna’s toy boy Jesus Luz has signed a record deal.

The ‘4 Minutes’ singer has used her sizeable influence to help the Brazilian model launch a pop career, and has even agreed to allow her former label Warner Brothers to use some of her iconic back catalogue in adverts in return for signing him.

Jesus’ first single, entitled ‘We Came From Light’, will be released in the summer – the same time a handful of Madonna’s classic songs, including ‘Vogue’ and ‘Like A Prayer’, will be licensed for a major advertising campaign in the US.

A source said: “Madonna was determined to give Jesus all the help she can. She holds a lot of sway at Warners, where she had a deal until very recently. But getting him on the books wasn’t completely plain-sailing. There was a little give and take between her and execs, but a compromise was eventually settled upon.”

The 51-year-old pop superstar – who has been in an on/off relationship with 23-year-old Jesus for over a year – has also drafted in the expertise of the legendary house music producer Victor Calderone.

The source added to The Sun newspaper: “Madonna really wants Jesus’ career to take off. She’s been going through her Filofax and putting him in contact with as many of her influential pals as she can.

“She’s worked with Victor for a very long time and he understands just what she likes. Having him work on Jesus’ tracks will give them a cool cachet which is essential to building a clubland buzz.”

The 51-year-old is directing and writing ‘W.E’ – which will tell the story of the relationship between Britain’s King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson – and is hoping the former ‘Doctor Who’ actor will take on the role of the monarch, who sensationally abdicated the British throne to live with the American divorcee in 1936.

A source said: “Madonna’s interest in directing a drama was first revealed a year ago.

“She put it on hold while going through her divorce but is really keen to get into directing again and has her eye on David, having loved his work on ‘Doctor Who’.”

Madonna, 51, was originally planning to play the part of Wallis, but has since reconsidered and is in talks with Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga.

Madonna’s only other directing credit is 2008’s ‘Filth and Wisdom’, which starred Richard E. Grant and Eugene Hutz, although she has served as a writer on documentary ‘I Am Because We Are’.

The ‘Hung Up’ singer’s own acting career has been wildly inconsistent with panned performances in a host of movies, including ‘Swept Away’ and ‘Body of Evidence’, but critically acclaimed appearances in musical ‘Evita’ and ‘Desperately Seeking Susan’

‘W.E’ is still in pre-production and has a preliminary release date of 2011.

It’s only been a few days since Jesus Luz called off his May-December romance with Madonna.

While the superstar singer, 51, is keeping a low profile, it appears the 23-year-old model is relishing his newfound freedom in his homeland Brazil.

The handsome DJ was spotted showing off his impressive physique as he paraded up and down Ipanema beach in Rio De Janeiro yesterday.

Luz was spotted lounging about on the sand chatting to his friends, including a mystery female companion.

As temperatures soared to 34C, Luz headed for the beach shower to cool down, to the joy of admiring female fans.

The model has spent the past two weeks in Brazil, while mother-of-four Madonna has been spotted in New York and London.

Apparently, Luz prompted the end of the couple’s one year romance after realising they had nothing in common.

Friends of the pair were amazed their relationship lasted so long due to their 28 year age gap.

A source told the Chicago Sun-Times: ‘It was not only totally amicable, but it was Luz who initiated the split.’

Another insider told the Daily Mirror: ‘They are in different places in their lives. It’s the age-gap, he’s 23 and she is 51.

‘How long could it last? How it even lasted a year seems a miracle to a lot of people. They had nothing to talk about. It’s pretty much over now.’

The couple were last seen together in New York in the first week of January, but both have been kept apart in recent weeks due to their work commitments on different continents.

Madonna and Luz met at a photoshoot for W magazine in December 2008 – just three months after the singer split from second husband Guy Ritchie.

Since dating Madonna, Luz’s modelling career has been heavily boosted and he has also start DJing after she paid for him to have lessons.

In November, Luz took Madonna home to Brazil to meet his mother Cristiane Regina da Silva, who was awkwardly 14 years younger than the pop star.

Madonna – who already raises four children – wants to have another baby with her Brazilian boyfriend Jesus Luz.

Madonna wants to have another baby.

The 51-year-old ‘Celebration’ singer is reportedly going to start trying to conceive with her Brazilian model boyfriend Jesus Luz – who she has been dating for around two years.

A friend of Madonna – who already has four children, Lourdes, 13, Rocco, nine, and adopted Malawian tots David and Mercy, who are both four – told The Sun newspaper: “She says motherhood is her greatest achievement and the most fulfilling thing in her life.

“She knows that, at 51, it’s going to be harder to conceive naturally. But she is Olympic-athlete fit and is ready for the challenge.”

Jesus, 22, is said to be as keen to have a baby as his pop superstar lover.

They said: “Jesus is very religious and deeply in love with her. He adores her kids but has always wanted a child of his own. He told her fatherhood would be his greatest adventure and that he wanted to go on this journey for her.”

However, Madonna is unlikely to make him her third husband, with Jesus previously saying he was not ready to get married.

He said: “There’s no truth in this rumour. I am too young to get married.”

The ‘Celebration’ singer is working with both rap producer A-Trak and rock producer Brendan O’Brien – who has previously worked with Pearl Jam – and attempting to merge the two genres on the follow up to her hip-hop influenced 2008 LP, ‘Hard Candy’.

A-Trak, real name Alain Macklovitch, told the Daily Star newspaper: “It’s my production, turned into song structure – halfway between rap and electronic and whatever else I listen to.”

Madonna, 51, is said to be set on making a track to match the success of Run DMC’s groundbreaking 80s hit ‘Walk This Way’, which defined the rap/rock genre – and went on to spawn acts such as Korn, Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock in the 90s.

Madonna has a long history of working with hip-hop producers, including Pharrell Williams and Timbaland on ‘Hard Candy’, but she is also keen to play up a more guitar-heavy sound after spending time mastering the instrument and insiders say she’s working on perfecting a balance between the two.

The resulting album could be released this year.

Starlet Kate Hudson dumped Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez after eight months because his heart still belongs to Madonna, OK! Magazine reported.

Hudson warned A-Rod that if he continued talking to the Material Girl she would leave. She kept her promise when A-Rod kept calling and texting the singer.

“Kate was mad with jealousy,” said a source. “She gave A-Rod three chances to stop contacting Madonna. How would you feel if your new boyfriend kept calling his ex?”

The source said it broke Hudson’s heart but she didn’t want to be “the other woman.” “She said that if Madonna is what A-Rod wants then she can have him.”
