LOL, I'm sure a serial killer would have improved W.E. considerably.

Did Graham Norton really loved this film so much he watched it twice? He probably had to say that to get Madonna to appear on his show.

Oh dear, am I and Graham Norton in the minority! I actually wouldn't mind seeing this film again as I so loved it! I must be one of those "amphetamine addicts with severe ADHD" as soonforgotten so elegantly writes on his blog!

btw, I am not a Madonna fan, she is a lousy actress, and I didn't expect to like the film and I did, and it will remain one of my guilty pleasures! ;)

Must say I thought Graham Norton sold out totally last night. He really bowed and scraped to Madonna and it was embarrassing to hear him say he watched W.E. twice and loved it. I thought Madonna was pretty revolting too-- with Graham Norton saying how wonderful it was that she answered her own doorbell and the grand Madonna saying she had to because her bl--dy staff didn't. Poor darling. The whole thing made me dislike her even more than I already did!

Yes it was quite like his normal shows, he wasn't his usual risque self and I think he must have been banned from mentioning Guy Ritchie.

He'd publically said that she was his dream guest so probably had to bend over backwards for her to agree to be on, especially since she doesn't do interviews usually. So though I felt he did compromise / sell out a bit, it was a huge coup, as well as a dream come true for him... plus he was probably a bit starstruck. I did think she was annoying. Especially the bit about Gaga. Yes, she must be influenced by Madonna, but Madonna of old. Madonna of new is pants, if you ask me. Thus, get over yourself Madge. Must get off my soap box, could go on about this for ever.....

That said, I still want to see W.E.
