Eddie Borgo Inspired By Madonna's "Sex" Book.
Eddie Borgo, the 32-year-old jewelry designer appears in the April 2011 issue of "Interview" Magazine as we've never seen him before. He took inspiration from Madonna’s 1992 book "Sex", shot by Steven Meisel (and art directed by Interview’s editorial director Fabien Baron). "I found it really liberating when I read the book in high school", the Atlanta-bred Borgo says. Tuesday, April 12, 2011

Madonna Unveils A Sympathetic Portrait Of Wallis Simpson.
Andrea Riseborough captures the humanity of the late Wallis, Duchess of Windsor, says historical adviser Hugo Vickers. by Tim Walker, The Telegraph After she was turned into a hate figure in the film The King’s Speech and Any Human Heart, the television adaptation of William Boyd’s novel, the late Wallis, Duchess of Windsor, will receive at least a measure of sympathy when Andrea Riseborough portrays her in Madonna’s forthcoming film, W.E. “It is a kinder, gentler portrayal,” says Hugo Vickers, the author of Behind Closed Doors, a new biography of the Duchess, who acted as the film’s historical adviser. “It is silly to portray her as a baddie. If there was anyone who was a baddie it was Edward VIII.” The author also worked as a consultant on The King’s Speech in which he felt that Wallis – played by Eve Best – was turned into “too gauche” a character. “Obviously, as an adviser, I can only make sure these films are as historically accurate as possible and I have no say in the dramatic content,” says Vickers. “I think Andrea Riseborough captures the character very well, however. She makes her human.” Madonna, who is the director and co-writer of the film, has presented a two-tiered romantic drama focusing on Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson and a contemporary romance between a married woman and a Russian security guard. The film is likely to please Edward Fox. The actor, who appeared in the television series Edward & Mrs Simpson, told me just before Christmas that he had spoken to a lot of people who knew Wallis. “They told me she was fun, hospitable and welcoming,” he said. “Sadly, we live in harsher times today than when we made that series. We seem to have an insatiable appetite for figures that we can hate.” Madonna, by the way, goes back a long way with Vickers. It was he who advised her to purchase, with her former husband Guy Ritchie, Ashcombe House in Wiltshire, the former home of Cecil Beaton, when it came up for sale in 2001. Source: The Telegraph

Madonna is being pursued for a role in remake of "Sunset Boulevard".The 52-year-old star - who will soon release her directorial debut "W.E.", a two-tier tale about the relationship between Britain's King Edward VIII and his wife Wallis Simpson, and a modern day woman called Wally - is wanted by maestro Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber for a reimagining of the classic 1950 movie in the role of Norma Desmond, played by Gloria Swanson.He said: "I bet you this never, ever, happens, but you know who would make a great Norma Desmond on screen? Madonna."She's the right age. I've not got through to her. She hasn't taken my call this time."Andrew previously worked with Madonna as the composer and songwriter on "Evita" - about the life of B-list Argentinean actress Eva Duarte - for which he won an Oscar for "Best Music", and Madonna picked up a "Golden Globe" for "Best Performance" by an Actress.
