The 50-year-old singer - who recently announced she is divorcing Guy Ritchie
after nearly eight years of marriage - has allegedly advised mother-of-two
divorcee Britney not to walk down the aisle again.

A source close to Madonna, who was joined on stage by Britney at a
performance as part of her 'Sticky and Sweet' world tour earlier this month,
told gossip website AbsoluteNow.com: "Britney asked Madonna if she will ever
marry again after her split from Guy. Madonna not only said she wouldn't but
told Britney to forget about marriage. She said it just doesn't work for
girls like them.

"Madonna clearly sees a lot of herself in Britney because she seems very
eager to help her."
