HolidayGuy Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Whitney once said that she knows Madonna, that she doesn't wear the cones at home, things to that effect. So, I'd think that they at least met? Random to have M present in this project, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonoka Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I'm not comfortable with the idea of such a movie in the first place. It almost never works at all, not to mention it's completely unneccesary anyway. Take a look at that Lady Di biopic with Naomi Watts, ugh! Awfully casted, bad production, just totally worthless and disrespectful. I figure this one won't be much better. Having a Madonna in there who doesn't look like Madonna at all will probably just be one of many, many flaws with this movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LikeAPrayer Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Outside of that comment about killing her daughter if she acted like Madonna, Whitney has always had great things to say about M. She was much nicer and accepting of Madonna's place in pop culture than the likes of Janet and Mariah. I hope this movie doesn't try to paint Madonna as some type of enemy/bitch. I don't think that was ever the extent of their relationship. I remember reading that when Whitney had a miscarriage in the mid 90's, Madonna was one of the first people to send her flowers/condolences. Apparently, the two also had a warm embrace at a Prince concert in the 90's as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeMySoul Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I doubt the Madonna role will be important to the storyline. It's probably a one off awards ceremony scene and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vocalism Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 OMG. That casting is hilarious. Don't know why you guys would be upset that she's included. M is the biggest female pop star of all time and was particularly important during Whitney's peak. It's a testament to how essential she is to every other female pop singer's story.

dollhouse Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Whitney send Madge flower when Hoskins went to jail.. Madge dreamt of Whitney many times.. They were big rivals in 80s and 90's, before Whitney lost it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapple Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I remember reading that they met somewhere in Germany in the 90's and when asked Madonna had said something along the lines of -for someone who is supposedly on drugs she sure has her shit together.

Kim Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Of course they met. Whitney herself recounted the fabulous, oft-discussed in here story of meeting Madonna backstage at an awards show with the greeting "how you doin?" to which Madonna snapped back "Better than you....OBVIOUSLY" (Madonna had won an award that night, Whitters hadn't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Above Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Maybe Angela Batshit will have Madonna wearing a meat dress to an awards show where she makes a crude comment to a secretly suffering Whitney, thus making her life a little bit more dismal.

Larkspur Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The only thing that sounds good about this is Angela Bassett directing. The fact that it's a lifetime movie concerns me. They start off mildly interesting and then quickly plunge into the depths of predictability and oversentimentality. Don't know how accurate she or Whitney will be portrayed. Of course a film about Whitney is going to include Madonna. Especially if it includes her career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
