Madonna has begun work on quite a number of movies over the years, many of them which have — like most — never seen the light of day.
But though her live-leaking of her scripting of her own biopic with Diablo Cody may have seemed premature, it wasn't — the movie is set up at Universal, Amy Pascal is producing and it sounds like all they need to do is finish the script and get it into a final form before the project can commence.

Madonna's biopic is coming, and she's not kidding around — she has been reading her many, many journals (who knew she kept them?) and is now digging through a mountain of ancient demos, playing a tantalizing fragment called “Love Is the Reason” ...
Madonna appeared with Diablo Cody, with whom she is writing a screenplay of her life story, on Instagram Live last night. I am against her promoting an unfinished screenplay — the tease will get old — but I thought it was a fun, funny, giggly, weird and informative hour-plus. Yes, Diablo will have to bury her shoes in the yard, but I LOLed when Madonna — who did this from L.A. — suggested she was going to werk this canyon! and when she answered an idiot asking how many kids she has, I haven't decided yet.

Billboard has chosen the 100 (!) greatest music-video artists of all time — and I think it's a sterling list. Though I'm not familiar with Nirvana as a major music-video entity, I was especially pleased that Duran Duran wasn't forgotten.
This video gave me tingles.
Still a thrill!

This has been developing for some time, but Madonna's ex, the model and sometimes actor Tony Ward, is now fully devoted to the QAnon conspiracy theory, posting about imaginary child-sex cults, decrying COVID-19 as a hoax and more.

ABOVE: Nothing wrong with that.
