Movie Trailer: Madonna’s Directorial Debut Filth And Wisdom
IFC Films has released the trailer for Madonna’s directorial debut, Filth And Wisdom. The official plot synopsis describes the film as “a hilariously sexy tale of three roommates who must delve into mischievous and naughty behavior in pursuit of bigger and brighter futures.”
“A Ukrainian immigrant, A.K. (Eugene Hutz), finances his dreams of ‘trans-continental superstardom’ with his band, Gogol Bordello, by turning tricks as a role-playing cross dresser. As A.K. literally
Filth and Wisdom - Trailer
Madonna’s directorial debut, FILTH AND WISDOM, is a hilariously sexy tale of three roommates who must delve into mischievous and naughty behavior in pursuit of bigger and brighter futures. A Ukrainian immigrant, A.K. (Eugene Hutz), finances his dreams of ‘trans-continental superstardom’ with his band, Gogol Bordello, by turning tricks as a role-playing cross dresser. As A.K. literally whips the privileged of London into shape, he also secretly pines for the object of his affection, Holl
Movie Preview: Madonna's Filth and Wisdom
So, Madonna directed an indie movie, Filth and Wisdom ("they are two sides of the same coin"). The trailer is narrated by the main character, a Ukrainian man named A.K. (Eugene Hutz, frontman of gypsy punk band Gogol Bordello), who "finances his dreams of rock glory by moonlighting as a cross-dressing dominatrix." The movie follows A.K. and his two female flatmates: "Holly (Holly Weston), a ballet dancer who works as a stripper and pole dancer at a local club and Juliette (Vicky McClure), a pharmacy assista
Madonna’s Filthy Directorial Debut
The trailer for Filth and Wisdom resembles your average picaresque quirk film about misfits in London's ethnic underworld. Then, about thirty seconds in, everything changes when the title "The Directorial Debut of Madonna," appears onscreen. Suddenly the mention of saving starving African children, and images of S&M and pole dancing become Madge touchstones. The film stars Eugene Hutz, lead singer of gypsy punk band Gogol Bordello, as some kind of alterno version of himself. How Madonna finds the time to di
Like a Virgin, Madonna Directs For the Very First Time [Filth And Wisdom]
newVideoPlayer("/filthtrail_def.flv", 506, 423,""); With Guy Ritchie's 2008 vintage RocknRolla a relatively encouraging return to form, word on the street is that this year's Madonna Household movie misstep might have fallen to the singer herself. Indeed, while her directorial debut Filth and Wisdom stirred notice and a sort of rubbernecking curiosity last winter among filmgoers at the Berlin Film Festival, the new trailer touches pretty much all the thematic bases we'd come to predict from A Film By Madon
Madonna Directs Feature, Shockingly Doesn't Look Completely Awful
Madonna somehow directed a movie without anyone being the wiser. It's called Filth and Wisdom and stars Gogol Bordello frontman Eugene Hutz and some other quirky folks.
And surprisingly? It doesn't look like the worst piece of trash in the world. Hell, it looks better than The Beach and Evita combined, so basically it's better than the sum total of you and your husband's film career thus far.

Wow, this looks…not bad? I mean sure, Gogol Bordello

Tiny 'Handbag' dogs born into cruelty

Such is the popularity of 'handbag dogs' that designers such as Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci have responded by making dog carriers that resemble handbags costing from hundreds to thousands of pounds.

Madonna dedicates "Like a Virgin" to pope
ROME (Reuters) - Pop star Madonna, once accused by the Vatican of staging one of the most satanic shows in history, surprised fans by dedicating her hit "Like a Virgin" to the pope at a sold-out concert held in Rome.
"I dedicate this song to the pope, because I'm a child of God. All of you are also children of God," the 50-year old "Queen of Pop" told the 60,000 fans that flocked to the Italian stop of her "Sticky & Sweet" world tour on Saturday.

Madonna had concert venue toilets removed, scrubbed down and reinstalled
Madonna has always been a quirky lady. To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever accused her of being easy going or overly-accommodating. And considering how easy it is for her to back up her demands, she’s probably forgotten where the normal/bat-freaking-crazy line begins. Not that it would stop her, but it might help her tone it down.
According to the classic “insider sources” (which I think most likely means “disgruntled crew) she had all the toilets taken out, sanitized, and reinstalled be
Ritchie and Madonna enjoy four seconds of sex
Guy Ritchie says the best sex lasts four seconds.
The movie director – who is married to pop superstar Madonna – admits his favourite way to make love is a quick romp.
Speaking about the sex scene between Gerard Butler and Thandie Newton in his new movie ‘RocknRolla’, Guy said: “It’s over in four seconds. Best type of sex that.”
Guy, 40, also confessed he has always been bemused by the opposite sex.
When asked why his films never feature many women, he replied to British radio stat
