Here we go again!

Madonna's film ambitions have resurfaced and if history has taught us anything, they do NOT usually go over well.

Madge has co-written the film W.E. with Alex Keshishian which is about Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson who were the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

Set to direct the film, Madonna's even getting advice from ex-hubby Guy Ritchie when it comes to casting decisions. He's suggesting meetings with Mark Strong and Tony Kebbell who had roles in his flick RocknRolla.

She needs a big name, though, to finance the project as her name alone won't guarantee anything. So far Her Madgesty is only involved in the writing and directing process.

We hope she steers clear of starring in the movie because, let's be honest, it might just tank.

Your acting chops just aren't up to your musical ones, 'bb! But we still love ya.

The man changes religion like he changes jock straps - often, we hope!

The one-time Kabbalah devotee while dating Madonna, Alex Rodriguez is considering another change in spiritual belief for his new lady Kate Hudson!

"It's an important part of her life," said an insider about Kate's Buddhism. "And it seems like Alex really just wants to make her happy."

Hudson's mama, Goldie Hawn is active in the faith and even met the Dalai Lama!

"Goldie more than approves of Alex," continued the source. "If he becomes a Buddhist, it'll only seal the deal."

Even while sitting behind the dugout at Yankee Stadium last Friday, Kate brought her Buddha prayer beads for a little help - and it worked!

The Yankees beat the Angels 4-1!

If only Jessica Simpson had those beads during Romo-time!

We hope so, because we really aren't feeling the first single!

Chuck Harmony, one of Rihanna's producers along with Ne-Yo for "Russian Roulette", is doing damage control singing Rihanna's praises and her "growth as an artist" calling her the Madonna of her generation.

Here are some HIGHlights:

On "Russian Roulette":

"I sat through mix sessions and I heard some of the songs on the record. It fits in. 'Russian Roulette' is definitely taking her to another level. I think she's a pop icon, so her music should reflect that."

On remaining true to her fanbase:

"I think Rihanna has captured what her old fans are used to, as well as the growth of an artist. 'Russian Roulette,' to me, is a shining example of her growth and her artistic expression,"

On the album as a whole:

"I was actually shocked I got the first single ’cause the album is so great. The way it's unfolding is so genius. Like, 'The wait is ova' [message on her site]. I was waiting too. I wanted to see the cover, I wanted to hear the song. It's one of those records where you just don't know. It's not a faith record. It's one of those thought-provoking records."

So far our only provoked thought is "meh."

We SO want to believe him when he says that the rest of the album is amazing.

We love RiRi and want her to do well, especially after the year she's had!

She sure knows how to work what she's got!

Madonna was looking like royalty (and 20 years younger) as she dined at the Locanda Locatelli restaurant in London with Stella McCartney on Wednesday.

Her madgesty was flawless as she hid the one part of her body that has not avoided the aging process - those zombie hands and arms!

Hawt gloves, hawt look, hawt body!

And you must be on top of the world if Stella lets you get away with wearing leather!!!

How very Oprah Winfrey of you, Madge!

Madonna will be in Malawi on Sunday to attend the brick laying ceremony for a new multi-million dollar girls' school she is building.

Her charity, Raising Malawi, made the announcement this morning, explaining that the mega star is throwing down $15 million to have the school built. A staffer explained:

"She plans to meet the President Bingu wa Mutharika and together lay a foundation stone for her multi-million dollar girls school."

No word yet if any of her children, include little Mercy, will join her on the trip.

Doing good things is the right thing to do. We're sure Madonna will have a wonderful time.

Send us pictures!

Is this called real love or desperation?

Things seem to be moving along between Kate Hudson and Madonna's used goods, Alex Rodriguez.

As we mentioned earlier this month, reports were that Hudson and A-Rod were already living together and considering buying a home together.

And by the looks of things, these two haven't broken up. Yet.

On Monday, Hudson was spotted at the Yankees game to cheer on her beau in Game 3 of the ALCS.

And yesterday, Kate was again seen at the Yankees game against the Angels. Though this time around the Yankess actually won.

Hudson was later spotted out with A-Rod and her sorta step-dad Kurt Russell celebrating the win after the game at 3 Thirty 3 restaurant in Newport Beach.

Wonder if A-Rod and Kate will last together through the end of the year? If they make it til December we'd be surprised.

Her Madgesty may be booted from her Central Park West apartment!

Karen George, a neighbor of Madonna's, has slapped the Material Girl with a lawsuit claiming Madge has transformed her apartment into a rehearsal space, and the entire building has to put up with her "blaring music, stomping and shaking walls" daily!!

According to the legal docs, "unreasonably high-decibel, amplified music" seeps through the walls, ceilings and radiators for three hours a day.

The co-op board has reportedly threatened Madge with the consequence of eviction, and the entire building is fuming over the daily dance parties.

We don't know about U, but we would love Madonna's music blaring through our walls!

Although maybe it's time to rent a rehearsal space?????

Back in 1983, Madonna wasn't a household name. Her first album was just being released and she was doing one of her first shoots with photographer Kate Simon. Those pictures never were published - until now!

Check out these shots from the upcoming 22 page spread in Lid magazine! All the shots are never-before seen or published and we've got your first look!

Exciting!!!

Look at her, so young! Damn, she was just as magnificent then as she is now.

What do U think?
