 | Movies: Madonna and Vera Farmiga's royal engagement |
|
|
Vera Farmiga may very soon go from rolling around with George Clooney in Up in the Air to being told what to do by Madonna.
Farmiga says she's hoping to star in a period romance that the Queen of Pop is not only producing and cowriting but also directing.
The movie is about the real-life drama surrounding England's King Edward VIII's decision in 1936 to abdicate the throne so he could marry twice-divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson. Farmiga would play Simpson. No male stars are attached yet, but Abbie Cornish has reportedly signed on for a role.
"She approached me," Farmiga said of Madonna. "We sat for a cup of tea and again for a cup of tea. Hopefully, it will all come together."
Farmiga is putting a lot of faith in Ms. Ciccone - she hasn't seen anything she's directed. "I'm actually not familiar with her work, and I told her this flat-out," Farmiga admitted. "She sent a couple of films and I still haven't seen them."
But no matter. "I don't really go by that," Farmiga said. "I go by other things. I go by scripts. I go with what I think I can do with a character and if I feel a kinetic energy with someone and I feel we can uplift and challenge each other."
And don't bother telling Farmiga if Madonna's only feature film directing work, the 2008 flick Filth and Wisdom, didn't exactly win audiences or critics over. Farmiga said, "I certainly have things I wouldn't want people to see."

Madonna, Lourdes to launch 'Material Girl' line
Madonna and her 13-year-old budding fashionista daughter Lourdes are to launch a new line in teen clothing called "Material Girl" in the US this August.
The mother-daughter collection, which will be exclusively available at Macy's stores, will focus on affordable back-to-school clothes but will include footwear, handbags and jewelry and aims to add a fragrance in 2011.
The line is a joint venture between Madonna and the Iconix Brand Group, which purchased the Badgley Mischka brand in 2004 and includes other leading labels such as Mossimo and Ed Hardy.
"The "Material Girl" collection was inspired and designed in collaboration with Madonna and her daughter Lourdes, along with Iconix Brand Group's in-house fashion department," a press release from Iconix said.
As part of the hook-up, Macy's will retain the right to launch additional brands with the MG (Material Girl) icon in the future.
"We are excited to announce the first in a series of new brands that will be developed under our partnership with Madonna," said Iconix CEO and chairman Neil Cole.
"'Material Girl' has a powerful retail partner in Macy's and we look forward to working together to deliver an innovative launch for our consumers."

Madonna's New Move
Madonna is getting her fashion groove on with Iconix Brand Group Inc. to launch MG Icon LLC - a venture in which a series of fashion projects will be rolled out across the retail world, starting with a junior line called Material Girl.
"Joining forces with Iconix to bring my fashion ideas to consumers is very exciting for me," Madonna - who will own 50 per cent of MG Icon with her long time manager Guy Oseary - tells WWD. Iconix will own the remaining 50 per cent.
"Madonna has been building brands for her other companies for a long time. Now, it's time for her to build her own brand," says Neil Cole, chairman and chief executive officer of Iconix.
"I look forward to working closely with Neil and his team to create and translate my vision and ideas for MG Icon," adds Madonna of the new venture, which will see a range of fashion-related business projects, the creation of new brands and the acquisition of new labels come to fruition. MG Icon is reportedly close to announcing a collaboration with a designer label for a co-branded eyewear collection as well.

In a nice interview for The Times Online.co.uk, french designer Jean Paul Gaultier reveals some interesting tidbits about how he started his collaboration with Madonna:
It must be nice to see all those early 1990s, Madonna-style boobs back in the world. How did they originally meet? “I was a fan,” he says. “She made her first concert in Paris in 1987 or 1988, and there was a party after. I was intimidé, but she was first to arrive, waiting for everybody. She was like this always for 10 years, always on time but now... boof, finished! She is the last one,” he laughs.
“Alors, she was super-cute, so I said to ’er, ‘I would love to do something super-special for you.’ She was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, okay.’ Then, two days before my show, I receive a phone call. They tell me it’s Madonna, but I’m like, ‘Yeah, yeah, okay, whatever.’ I don’t believe it’s possible. But the next day I ask if it’s true, and there is a number and I call and she answers and tells me to come to New York and we prepare for the tour.”
So began a working relationship they’ve dipped in and out of for 20 years. A friendship also developed, though I suspect Gaultier retains a fan’s fascination. “I went to a club with her and all the good-looking boys were looking, but not recognising her. She was so famous, they couldn’t imagine she would be there, so they were cruising her".
However, his most hilarious Madonna memory relates to her wedding to Guy Ritchie in 2000. “He wore a kilt with nothing under,” says Gaultier approvingly. How do you know? “I ask him, ‘It’s true?’ He say, ‘You see!’” he says, miming Ritchie whipping up his skirt. And was it...? “Well, I understood Madonna! Hahaha!” he cackles, then shouts in delight as a plate of fish and different pastel-coloured mashed potatoes is placed in front of him. You can check out the rest of the interview by clicking here.

 | Books: With Madonna ''In the footsteps of Great Women'' |
|
|
M-Tribe friend Didier is just back from a business trip in Frankfurt, Germany, where he bought a book called: "Auf den Spuren Grosser Frauen" (In the footsteps of Great Women).
"It was a huge emotion when I have seen this book because our Goddess is on the main part of the cover with Fridha Kahlo when other major woman like Marilyn Monroe are "only" represented by more little pics." Didier writes.
"This is not always the case and I think it represents a change of mentality and shows how Madonna is important in our culture, even if Marilyn is - of course - also huge."
The 272 page book has been published by Kunth Wolfgang Verlag in July 2009 and you can find more about it by clicking the cover picture below.

Thanks to Didier.

 | Madonna Plays the Muse |
|
|
“Collaboration. I like being his muse,” Madonna told us, explaining her relationship with photographer Tom Munro at a private party and opening last night, to celebrate the photographer’s first book, a collection of celebrity portraits. (Partial proceeds of of the book will go to Madonna’s charity, Raising Malawi, and M.E.A.K.)
Madonna, wearing black fishnet stockings, leather skirt and dark sunglasses at 10 p.m. in a dark room, blew off the Weinstein Company party at Soho House and the Summit Entertainment reception for “The Hurt Locker” at the Mondrian, for the gallery opening, where she spent most of the time on the lap of Steven Klein, another celebrity fashion photographer.
The party was underwritten by Moët & Chandon – the official champagne of the Oscars, a publicist helpfully reminded us – and guests were sipping from miniature bottles of the stuff.
Justin Timberlake was skulking near the bar, wearing geeky glasses and a ski cap. A female bodyguard was standing next to him. “Tom’s a very good friend of mine and I’m excited for him and it’s a great cause so I came,” Mr. Timberlake said. What was he doing Oscar night we asked? “I thought this was a sound bite for Tom,” Mr. Timberlake said, which was the cue for his bodyguard to shoo us away.

 | Madonna attends a star-packed pre-Oscar party in West Hollywood |
|
|
Soho House held a preview party Thursday night in West Hollywood, receiving an embarrassment of bold names at its newest venue.
The members-only club, which has outposts already in London and New York, partnered with Grey Goose to open its doors to Madonna, Elton John, Quentin Tarantino, Natalie Portman, Harvey Weinstein, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, Kellan Lutz, Rachel Zoe, Josh Hartnett, and Clive Owen.
The stars gathered in the penthouse of the exclusive Sunset Boulevard property to celebrate Sunday's big show and raise awareness for RADD, aka "the entertainment industry's voice for road safety." The select, wall-to-wall crowd snacked on steak tartare and Champagne in the redesigned space that the club had rented for a week of sneak-peek Oscars parties in 2008.
From the Ministry of Gossip at the LA Times.
And in more Oscar related news, Madonna, her manager Guy Oseary and Demi Moore will stick to what has become a tradition now and will have their after-party going around 11 p.m. in a tent attached to Guy's Hollywood Hills home on Sunday, Variety.com reports.

Richard Corman's never before seen Madonna images from the '80s now available for sale.
A few days ago we reported about the collection of Madonna images by photographer Richard Corman that was exhibited publicly for the first time in New York City at the "Virigin Spirit" event which also featured fashions by Prince Peter and music by Jessica 6 and Dan Wade.
News is now in that Corman just released nearly two dozen of these never-before-seen images he took over 25 years ago.
The photographs were taken in New York City between 1983 and 1985 and feature shots of Madonna's first New York apartment, her surrounding neighborhood on the Lower East Side and some images from the set of her 1985 movie, "Vision Quest".


22 selected, signed prints are now being released in limited editions of 30 pieces each. These unique gilded gold framed prints retail for $4,000, they are also available unframed for $3,250 exclusively at Richard Corman's Store: richardcormanstore.com. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Haitian Earthquake Relief.
Although Corman photographed Madonna prior to her unprecedented fame, he immediately recognized her unique potential to be something larger than life.
"I met Madonna through a friend, I was told I had to meet her," Corman said "I fell in love with her energy, her charisma."


While the collection features Madonna in a variety of 80s styles such as heavy accessories, pegged jeans, or the favorite, denim jacket. Corman explains that regardless of style, these photos are eternal.
"I think she looks as modern as any kid walking down the street," Corman said, adding that he experienced "absolute magic" as he photographed the vibrant and youthful Madonna.

 | The Marriage Ref opens big thanks to Olympic lead-in |
|
|
With the last night of the Winter Olympics as a lead-in, Jerry Seinfeld's new reality show, "The Marriage Ref," got off to a strong start for NBC on Sunday night.
The program, which Seinfeld executive produces and on which he will make occasional appearances, seeks to resolve trivial and not-so-trivial spats between couples. Last night's guest judges were Alec Baldwin, who certainly knows what does not make for a good marriage, and Kelly Ripa.
"The Marriage Ref" will make its regular time-period debut Thursday, from 10 to 11 p.m.
