i am praying that this works. if not, madonna just needs to steer clear and far away from movies. please.
I’m sure Ms. Cornish will be remembered more for “Dark Fields” than for “M.E.” Madonna aspires to be Barbra Streisand, and based on her last directorial effort, she has a long ways to go just to get to Streisand’s level of hackdom.
Im the queen!
