“Valley of the Dolls” movie producers want Madonna as Helen Lawson
According to Naughty but Nice Rob, the producers of the “Valley of the Dolls” remake are lobbying hard to get Madonna to play the aging Broadway star Helen Lawson, a role intended for Judy Garland in the original movie.
Patty Duke, Sharon Tate, and Barbara Parkins starred in the original movie, the story of three women’s rise, fall and pill popping tirades (the pills were called “Dolls.”) The film was set in New York’s theatre world and Hollywood movie biz.
The “new” Valley of the Dolls, will have a decidedly different “spin” on the original with L.A.’s music business being a big part of the story, particularly with the Neely O’Hara character (Patty Duke) the up and coming star who makes it big and has a major fall from grace. One of the writers of the new VOTD is Paul Rudnick, who did the “First Wives Club” and “In and Out” (such a funny Kevin Kline movie!) There will be a dark comedy aspect to the film.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor couldn’t stop listening to Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” album
In an interview with Robert Copsey for Digital Spy, Sophie Ellis-Bextor talked about the many artists who inspired her…
There are so many artists who inspired me while I was growing up, it’s far too difficult to pick one. Two albums I listened to a lot that immediately stand out are Madonna’s Like A Prayer and Michael Jackson’s Bad – I definitely grew up on both those albums and remember a time when I would play nothing else.

Monte Pittman talks Madonna
To promote his new album The Power of Three, which has been release today, Monte Pittman gave an interview to Paul Robinson for The Moaning Times and talked about Madonna…
The Moaning Times: Monte can you tell us how you went from wanting to be a musician to supporting madonna on tour and what would you say to anyone who has a dream like yours?
Monte Pittman: I started giving her guitar lessons and from there she asked me to come on tour and play guitar for her. I would say to anyone who wants to do this that persistence is how a lot of people have done it. I’ve always said “it’s bad luck to turn down a gig”. Just because you may not like the music, you never know who you are going to meet in the process. Don’t give up and keep yourself versatile.
