Ballbreaker - singer - director

Madonna gives with one hand but takes away with the other. This week she's given us Hung Up, which you can't help liking even if you really don't want to. It's only catchy because of the Abba sample but still you've got to give her credit. On the minus side, she's decided to direct films. Now I know she likes husband Guy to press her buttons but surely trying her hand where he is increasingly failing is only going to cause trouble. Not even those pink knickers, which come perilously close to showing us parts of Madonna we don't really want to see (again), won't keep him sweet. I only hope that her directing is better than her acting. Even Elijah Wood, Keanu Reeves and Mischa Barton look good in comparison to her performances in Body of Evidence and Swept Away.
