FIGHTING OVER MADONNA

Two of Madonna's beaus -- Guy Ritchie and Andy Bird, both of whom are filmmakers -- reportedly got into a brawl over her this weekend at London's trendy Met Bar. The two met and apparently started talking about their mutual admiration for the pop star. "We were comparing notes about Madonna, when he suddenly hit me," Bird told Britain's Mirror newspaper. There were reports of drinks flying -- and of Bird doing the same. "It came from nowhere," he said of Ritchie's alleged punch, "and I just couldn't believe it." Madonna was a good 6,000 miles away, attending a pre-Oscar bash in Hollywood with a different man altogether: hunky Sugar Ray rocker Mark McGrath. When eventually asked about the skirmish in London, Madonna reportedly buttoned her lip.
