Yesterday marked the 34th anniversary of the death of Sid Vicious.
The 21 year old bass player who shot to fame as a member of anarchic punk band The Sex Pistols was found dead by his mum Anne Beverley in his bed just days before his trial for the murder of his American groupie ex-girlfriend Nancy Spungen. An autopsy confirmed that Vicious – real name John Simon Ritchie – died from an accumulation of fluid on his lungs, something commonly found among heroin users.
No one has ever proved Vicious was guilty – many blaming the death on a drug dealer who took advantage of Sid’s comatose state to frame him after a deal went bad. With all parties no longer among us, it’s a safe bet we will truly never know what really happened.

Guy Ritchie and Madonna may no longer be husband and wife, but the two are reported to spend their Christmas together. According to Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, Madonna will reunite with her ex so that their children can spend Christmas Day with the movie director at his country estate in Wiltshire, England.
"Madonna is flying in for 24 hours so Guy can spend Christmas Day with the children," a source gushed about the 51-year-old singer's decision. The source added, "Things are amicable between them and the children love Christmas at Ashcombe House in Wiltshire, which Guy has turned into a Santa's grotto."
Madonna was married to Guy in December 2000. After seven-and-a-half years of marriage and numerous rumors of them separating, the couple finally admitted that they are divorcing in late 2008. "They have both requested that the media maintain respect for their family at this difficult time. A final settlement has not been agreed upon yet,...

It's been months after he had his divorce to Madonna being finalized, but Guy Ritchie still has a heart for the music star. He tells Esquire in an interview to be featured on its November issue, "I still love her," yet he is quick to add, "but she's retarded, too."
"She's a manifester, if there ever was one," the filmmaker goes on claiming. "First-rate manifester. Madonna makes things happen. Put Madonna up against any 23-year-old, she'll outwork them, outdance them, outperform them."
Addressing on the hard time he has to face after separating from Madonna, Guy opens up, "You can't tell someone when they're getting divorced that their pain is an illusion. I'm f***ing telling you, I feel it. I've been through that ... No one can say you don't feel that."
Despite his bitter marriage life with the pop icon, Guy claims he always thought of Madonna firstly as his wife,...
