Well, I certainly got the hot ticket tonight. I went with a friend to a cocktail party at Claridges for the premier of Madonna’s new film “W.E” all about Edward and Wallis Simpson and then on to the red carpet showing of the film in Leicester Square.
I’ll do the review another time, but for now, CHECK OUT MY PHOTOS:-
Here she was at Claridges:-
This one was a little unfortunate – looks like they were about to eat each other:-
She has the skin of a twelve year old:-
Me on the red carpet!
I really enjoyed the film. Visually stunning. 83 costume changes for Wallis and some brilliant cinematography – including 35mm, 16mm and Super 8 to give the home video look when required. She did a Q & A at the end. It took her three years to research and develop the concept for the film and she read as many letters as she could find to try and get under the skin of Wallis Simpson herself – she is obviously fascinated in the whole concept of the most romantic couple in history and the huge and brave sacrifices both of them had to make.
“What do you hope people will take away from the film?” she was asked as the last question and after a long pause she said “lots of things. It’s a complex story and there is no such thing as perfect love and if you think there is then you are in for a rude awakening. Real love requires compromise. Nothing is what it seems and it pays to investigate all angles before you reach your conclusions”.
So true.

October 24, 2011I am SO disappointed with this woman. I thought she would flout the Hollywood tradition of making yourself look ridiculous in an attempt to hold back the years. She actually has probably made herself look older with all that weird plumpness on bits of her face.
You, on the other hand, looked fabulous as usual.

October 24, 2011Saw the coverage of this on TV this morning, then was interested to see your photos, right here! I was quite shocked to see the changes in Madonna’s face.. have just been googling photos of her in 2001 – what a difference. Loved your red carpet moment, and that red haired, red coated photographer in the crowd of paparazzi!
