Madonna’s ‘Masterpiece’ Wins The Golden Globe

Song is featured in ‘W.E.,’ which Madge wrote and directed. By Jocelyn Vena Madonna at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards Photo: Steve Granitz/ WireImage Madonna has a huge year ahead of her, and she’s already getting some shine. At the Golden Globes on Sunday night (January 15), the pop star-turned-film director nabbed the Best Original Song prize for “Masterpiece,” which was featured in “W.E.,” which she wrote and directed . Taking the stage in her glittering Reem Acra-designed dress, Madge thanked the many collaborators who helped her write the song featured in her first feature film, which opens in wide release next month. “This is a surprise,” she told the room, clutching her prize. “Thank you so much to the Hollywood Foreign Press for this acknowledgement. I need to thank my co-writers, Jimmy Harry and Julie Frost, my co-producer William Orbit, who’s not here, whom I adore.” As her speech went on, she opened up a bit about the creation of the award-winning track, ignoring her exit music altogether. “I would also like to thank my manager, Guy Oseary, who I spend most of my time beating up on,” she said. “But seriously, he harangued me for the entire time I was filming and editing my movie to write a song. And I said, ‘Please, Guy, I’m trying to focus on being a director and I want people to pay attention to the film and I don’t have time.’ So then I finished the film and I started making my record and somehow magically and miraculously the song emerged, ‘Masterpiece,’ so thank you, Guy Oseary, for being so irritating.” As her speech wrapped up, she thanked her leading lady in the film, Andrea Riseborough, and producer Harvey Weinstein, whom she called the Punisher. This is hardly Madonna’s first Golden Globe. She previously won Best Actress in Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for playing Eva Peron in “Evita.” “Masterpiece” is expected to appear on Madonna’s forthcoming new record, M.D.N.A.

Elizabeth Banks ‘Gratified’ To Be In ‘Hunger Games’

I’m really looking forward to that,” she said. “I’m really looking forward to a real vacation, like a beach with no one around, and hopefully watch movies, because I love movies and I don’t get to see many movies. “I’m Secret-ing some ideas this year,” she added, speaking to the famous self-help book that encourages goal-planning via a “vision board.” “I wrote them out, they’re on my fridge for all to see. I won’t say them here but I definitely have some specific goals. Last year is going to be hard to top. I’m really excited about ‘Pitch Perfect,’ that I produced through Universal that’s coming out and stars all these really amazing young actors [Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow and Freddie Stroma of ‘Harry Potter’ fame] that I hope will all be Ones to Watch.

Sunny Leone’s New Movie Jism 2 Is NOT a Porn [PIC]

Indo-Canadian actress Sunny Leone is breast known as a Penthouse Pet of the Year and as a Vivid contract girl, so we weren’t surprised to read that she’d been cast in Jism 2 . The shocking part? Jism 2 is not a porn. It’s a Bollywood horror flick, and Leone was cast by producer Mahesh Bratt , who says he was unaware of Sunny’s pornographic past ( suuuuuuure he was) when he recruited her for the role. However, since then Sunny’s risque resume has shocked the socially conservative Indian public, and other names, such as non-nude Bollywood starlet Mallika Sherawat , have been rumored as replacements. The producers of Jism 2 have wisely capitalized on the controversy as a marketing opportunity, and this week released an ambiguous, erotic promo poster (above) that cleverly disguises the actress’s face. Seemingly unaware of the double entendre, tabloids across the subcontinent printed the picture with the screaming headline “Whose Jism Is That?!” And that, Skin fans, is the rest of the story. Turn up the heat with spicy pics of Sunny Leone after the jump!
