Clint Eastwood: "Beyoncé is the next Ella Fitzgerald"
Quote:
Q: Did you discuss music with Beyonce, that we will see in your next film, a remake of A Star is Born?
A: She asked if she could write stuff for the movie, I said yes, great. But I also told her I would make one or two things very classical. Still classicism. But I dont want Beyoncé to be too classic! She has a superb voice. She could become a new Sarah Vaughan or the next Ella Fitzgerald. She has the same class. I dont know if she knows their music but I intend to do a good education for the movie !
And I promise, one last Madge-related newsbit for awhile. But anyway, funny how she still somehow finds a way to be "controversial."
Madonna Angers Anti-Drug Group With New Album Title
Quote:
closing that case wasn't in the cards for anti-drug group Canabis Skunk Sense because the spokesperson for the group, Lucy Dawe, told The Sun that she thought naming the album M.D.N.A. was "an ill advised decision."
Putting aside the notion that the anti-drug campaigners' name sounds more like a shop that sells various "tobacco" pipes for "herbal" enthusiasts, the reasoning behind this claim is that Madonna's new album title closely resembles the name of a criminalized drug called MDMA (but you may know it better as Ecstasy, E or X).
