20 Feb 2005 - Madonna to play in Warhol movie?

Written by Pmachine posted in Very Old News 20 Feb 2005, 16:59 538 Views Rating: 0 (0 Rates)
Madonna has apparently signed up to play a transvestite in a forthcoming movie.

Today's Sun newspaper reports that the singer is lined up to play the role of cross-dresser Candy Darling who was a face around Andy Warhol's Factory in the late 60s and early 70s. Darling was supposedly the inspiration for Lou Reed when he wrote the tracks "Candy Says" and "Walk On The Wild Side".

An insider on the project told the newspaper that Madonna is so desperate for the part that she has agreed to do it for nothing. They said: "Madonna has been desperate to make a film where she can earn respect for her acting abilities. She is still trying to shake off the bad publicity from the movie "Swept Away". She sees this as her big chance." The insider added: "She has wanted to play this part for so long because she feels so strongly about the character. She said she would do anything for the part and has agreed to work for free."

Darling, whose real name was James Lawrence Slattery, starred in the Warhol films "Flesh" and "Women In Revolt". He died of leukemia in 1974.

10 Feb 2005 - Morrissey to return to Manchester?

Written by Pmachine posted in Very Old News 10 Feb 2005, 21:31 513 Views Rating: 0 (0 Rates)
Morrissey fans have launched a desperate bid to persuade the singer to return home to his native Manchester.

The ex-Smiths frontman has been living in self-imposed exile in Los Angeles since 1997. He recently returned home for a triumphant concert at the MEN Arena on his 45th birthday last May.
Now a petition has been launched by a group of fans who say that the time is now ripe for Morrissey to return to his roots.
Organiser, Carl McDonald told the Manchester Evening News that the idea came to him after communicating with other Morrissey fans on the Internet.

McDonald, who is himself returning home to Manchester later this year after spending four years in Dublin, explained to the newspaper: "We were talking about the wonderful changes in recent times in Manchester and how the one thing missing from the city is it's most famous and most talented son.
"We discussed ways of tempting him home, such as promising to force all butcher's shops in a five mile radius of his home to close down. But we settled on the Internet petition idea so that fans from all over the world could join in and help to end this terrible situation."
He continued: "There's no point in trying to hide from the truth. It is up to the people of Manchester to get online to sign the petition and let Morrissey know that we miss him and need him to make the city complete."

Fans wishing to sign the petition can find it at: www.petitiononline.com/mancmoz/petition.html.
