Madonna once expressed an interest in producing the critically-acclaimed new movie Precious, author Sapphire has revealed. Sapphire claims the Queen of Pop was eager to be associated with the film adapted from 1996 novel Push, the story of an illiterate, obese girl battling abuse and teen pregnancy in 1987 Harlem.

Madonna was among the first people to show an interest in adapting author Sapphire’s gritty drama into a film.

“There was this really earnest college student with his backpack on who wanted to do his first film, and then Madonna wanted to produce it,” the writer reveals in this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly.

“I was like, ‘Madonna? I don’t think this is her film,’” she added. “I remember this one producer told me that he had found Precious—and it was going to be Brandy,” a shocked Sapphire said. “Excuse me? I literally almost hung up on him.”

The post finally went to moviemaker Lee Daniels who managed to convince her with his credentials. Precious opens in theaters everywhere this Friday.

Madonna is having a tough time securing funds and getting a cast together for her new film.

With stinkers like Shanghai Surprise and Body of Evidence to her credit, the Queen of Pop, 51, has never had much success in the film industry. Nonetheless, she decided to try her hand at scriptwriting earlier this year, but launching her project is proving to be difficult.

“I just finished writing a script and I am trying to get funding and casting for it, believe it or not,” Madge revealed to London’s Daily Express this month. “It’s called ‘We’ and it’s a love story. It is two parallel love stories told from a woman’s point of view, obviously.”

She added, “One is a historical story that took place with the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. And the other is one I made up about a couple in New York.”

The Material Mom offering to match every dollar donated to help the children of Malawi through her Raising Malawi charity.

Madonna co-founded the organization in 2006, as a non-profit dedicated to helping Malawi’s one million orphans. Today, Madge is pledging $100,000 to match your contribution dollar-for-dollar.

“Please join me in supporting the work of Raising Malawi. Every dollar we collect will make a huge difference in a child’s life. By matching your donation, dollar for dollar, I will personally ensure that your contribution has an even greater impact,” the pop legend says in the video message.

“That’s a promise.”

On Sunday, Madonna broke ground on her Raising Malawi Academy for Girls.

Paging Al Sharpton! Did you know The Material Girl almost created majah drama when she released last year’s charttopping Hard Candy album?

Language of love? Hardly! The Material Girl is not pleased that Brazilian boytoy Jesus Luz, 22, hasn’t quite mastered English in the 10 months they’ve been dating.

Madge spies tell GLOBE that Madonna, 51, is shelling out $1,000 per week on a private tutor to work with Jesus.

“Madonna used to find Jesus’s broken English charming, but not anymore,” a snitch says. “She wants prove to her friends that he’s intelligent and sophisticated, so she’s hired a language teacher and forbidden him from speaking Portuguese anymore.”
