Can you picture Goodfellas starring Tom Cruise and Madonna as compared to Ray Liotta and Lorriane Bracco? Well if the producers would have gotten who they originally wanted in the roles it would have been a completely different movie. According to The NY Post Irwin Winkler told GQ, “‘Tom Cruise was discussed. Marty [Scorsese, director] wanted Ray [Liotta]. Frankly I thought we could do a lot better,’ he said. But Ray’s determination eventually won them over, ‘My wife [and I] were having dinner one night in a restaurant and lo and behold, Ray Liotta came over to me. He said, ‘Look, I know you don’t really want me for it, but…’ And he sold me on the role right that evening. As for Madonna, producer Barbara de Fina remembers, ‘Madonna seemed to be in the mix. I remember that we went to see her in the play Speed-the-Plow. Marty said hello to her afterwards. Can you imagine? Tom Cruise and Madonna? But Marty can get a performance out of almost anyone.'” I have never seen Goodfellas and even I know they would be a bad choice for the roles. Almost as bad as if Bette Midler and Eddie Murphy were actually cast in Driving in Miss Daisy as the studio executives wanted.
BTW I wonder if Madonna and Cruise would have made the movie together, if they would have hooked up. It was around that time that Tom had finalized his divorce with Mimi Rogers and Madonna was on the outs with Warren Beatty. Could you imagine ToMadonna? They would have been the TomKat of their time.

When you watched Tuesday Power of Madonna episode of Glee, you were like almost everyone and wondered how much was Glee’s version like the original music video for Vogue. Well thanks to DjwickedJester, we now can see the side-by-side comparison and dang they did an amazing job! They did a better job than Matthew Fox trying to recreate his scene from the pilot of Lost in this season’s premiere of the show. Sorry I had to go there.
BTW I didn’t say this before, but who knew Jane Lynch had such a great singing voice! Gotta love Sue Sylvester!
Madonna makes a rare television appearance on her good friend Jerry Seinfeld’s show The Marriage Ref tonight on NBC at 10p. Not only is the twice divorced musician a panelist on the show, so is the hysterical and happily married Ricky Gervais. The host of the show, Tom Papa was on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday and he told him that during tonight’s TMR he had to yell at the singer, “Not now Madonna! You behave yourself.” I can’t wait to see what she did to warrant that type of response. Should be an interesting episode, so check it out on NBC at 10p.
Daily Mail posted these touched up pictures of what Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Victoria Beckham, Madonna and Britney Spears might look like in the year 2020. Although they are fun to look at, I am not sure that is really how they are going to look. And not just because of plastic surgery and botox, I think some of them might have better ageing genes than what was dramatized in those pictures. I can’t see Madonna or Britney letting themselves go like that or Angelina really looking that in 10 years. Now when it comes to Posh Spice and Brad Pitt, I think that is how their faces might look, but I don’t see Brad as a completely silver fox at 56. Do you think that is how some of our favorites from 2010 will look in 2020?
BTW Daily Mail has few more of today’s star aged 10 years on their site if you want to check them out.

Madonna attended the multi-nominated Nine premiere that is out on Christmas Day with her daughter Lourdes Leon and both of them looked they got new looks. While Lourdes’ seems to be shorter bangs, her mom’s seems to be something more. I can’t place what is different about Madonna’s face, but she is not looking like she used to. She is kind of starting to look more like Sharon Stone than herself. What is up with that? And what is up with a black version of her Like A Virgin look?
