Madonna's Gay Boxing Movie?

Madonna: But what she really wants to do is...

So about Madonna’s next movie... No, she’s not going to act in it. She’s going to direct. (Which is preferable, right?)

Supposedly, Mrs. Ritchie is going to helm the directing duties for Blade to the Heat, based on the play of the same name. It’s a boxing story based on a real fight between Latino fighters in the 1950’s--and there’s gay love-story action in it!

Is she gonna enter the directing ring?

Or at least there was in the original play... I saw Blade to the Heat (by Oliver Mayer) in Los Angeles years ago, and there was lots of sweaty guy-flesh in it. The main set for the play was a big boxing ring, and I think I remember men showering on stage. (Or maybe I made that part up.)

Of course, it’s still uncertain how official this news is. The Madonna fan site, Drowned Madonna, says it’s not happening. But RollingStone.com and The Sun tabloid are certainly implying that it is.

But somehow, Madonna directing a gay Latino boxing film does sort of make sense right? Perhaps it's a job for Carlos Leon?

Um, Honey... I'm kinda bored with this entire global pop icon thing. Mind if I take your job?

I'll keep ya posted.
