Will it be reported that Madonna or Guy Ritchie have filed divorce before January 2009?
Settled as Yes
Going with the commonsense interpretation, they have announced their impending divorce. The actual filing of the paperwork is considered imminent. If it becomes apparent that no legal steps toward divorce have been taken by the end of the year we can consider resettling.

Background:
Madonna and Guy Richie divorcing...again?
Rumors are heating up again in the United Kingdom that Madonna is close to divorcing husband Guy Ritchie. Madonna has now hired the same lawyer that represented ex-Beatle Paul McCartney in his divorce from Heather Mills, according to London's Daily Mirror. Madonna reportedly had preliminary discussions with lawyer Fiona Shackleton in April.
Madonna, 49, said in an MTV interview in 2005 that she wanted out of her marriage. "I got married for all the wrong reasons," she said.
Previous breakup rumours have been quickly followed by denials, reportedly because of the couple's three children, Lourdes, 11, Rocco, 7, and David, 2. However, the Mirror now says the couple will split in November after Madonna wraps up her world tour in support of her latest album Hard Candy.
The fact that Madonna has hired Shackleton, 52, suggests that she is serious about ending the relationship, and it also suggests that the break up could be stormy. Apparently Madonna never made Ritchie sign a pre-nuptial agreement. They would also have to work out what likely would be complicated visitation issues. Madonna recently bought an apartment in New York, and would likely leave the UK after the divorce. Ritchie has said he has no interest in leaving England, where he is a celebrity.

Piers Morgan not fooled by Madonna / Monday, August 18 2008, 20:49 BST
By Daniel Kilkelly, Entertainment Reporter
Piers Morgan has poured scorn on Madonna and Guy Ritchie's divorce denials, claiming that the pair have no credibility. Tabloid reports have speculated that the couple will announce their separation in November. However, both Madonna and Ritchie have responded by issuing statements to the contrary.
Morgan revealed that he lost faith in Madonna after receiving false information from her publicist Liz Rosenberg when he was editor of The Mirror. "Purely on the back of her firm denial, I'm going to have a few quid on a Madonna divorce by Christmas," Morgan explained.
