Anthony Ramos says Madonna lit up entire theatre with iPad during Hamilton performance on Broadway, Entertainment News
Anthony Ramos says Madonna lit up the whole theatre with her iPad during a performance of Hamilton on Broadway. The 33-year-old actor originated the dual roles of John Laurens and Philip Hamilton in the Broadway show and is among a group of Hamilton actors to speak out on Madonna's alleged behaviour in the audience. Appearing on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live on Thursday (June 19), Ramos said: "The most terrifying was Madonna with her iPad in her face. She was like this [shining a light] the whole time. "I was like, 'Damn, shorty. If you're not enjoying it that much, you know the door is right there. You don't have to stay here.'" Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of the musical who played Alexander Hamilton, also appeared to call out The Queen of Pop in a since-deleted post on Twitter in April 2015. He penned at the time: "Tonight was the first time I asked stage management not to allow a celebrity (who was texting all through Act 2) backstage. #noselfieforyou." However, the Like a Virgin hitmaker's publicist rubbished the claim, telling Us Weekly: "It's not true. She was invited backstage four different times. She texted post show when they were doing their fundraising pitch. Madonna had already made a generous donation." Jonathan Groff, who starred as King George, also fumed "that b**** was on her phone." He said at the time: "You couldn't miss it from the stage. "It was a black void of the audience in front of us and her face there perfectly lit by the light of her iPhone through three-quarters of the show." [[nid:712771]]

Several colorful balloon strings were seen behind the father-daughter duo, as well as a large silver cutout of the number '94.' 'He has survived many wars and many losses in his he still has a sense of humor and a strong desire to get out of bed every morning and make the most of his day,' she wrote. Madonna's second photo showed him sitting outside on patio furniture on a sunny day wearing a baseball cap, T-shirt and jeans with suspenders.

In her interview with TIME, the '4 Minutes' singer opened up about her close relationship with her father, adding, 'I knew how to wrap him around my finger."

Madonna's Scrapped Biopic Is Getting Another Chance & the Material Girl Is Already on Board
In 2022, fans of Madonna were getting excited about the prospect of having a biopic not only about the Material Girl, but directed by her, too. But while casting announcements had already been made, the project was scrapped by early 2023. Now, however, the biopic is getting another chance. On May 12, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Madonna was officially teaming up with Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy for a limited series about her life and career on Netflix. Per the outlet, Levy's company, 21 Laps Entertainment, has a deal with Madonna, but no other writers, producers and actors have been tied to the project just yet. More from SheKnows Taylor Swift Might Be Going From Pop Queen to Silver Screen With This Iconic Reboot If the limited series is anything like the series, however, we're guessing the 'Like a Virgin' singer will be heavily involved. For that project, Madonna was going to direct and had been a part of writing two drafts of a script with Oscar winner Diablo Cody and Erin Cressida Wilson. As for other details of the project, the casting process in 2022 was highly publicized with stars like Florence Pugh, Euphoria star Alexa Demie Australian actress Odessa Young throwing their hat in the ring for the role. Inventing Anna star Julia Garner ended up being selected. Before filming began, sadly, the movie was scrapped at Universal Pictures. Per Variety, speculation over the movie no longer happening started after Madonna announced her international music tour, 'The Celebration Tour,' on January 17, 2023. Later that year, on December 14, 2023, Madonna even invited Garner on stage to help her in a dance number on tour. Movie or not, it seemed like those two really bonded! Previously, Madonna directed the short movie Secret Project Revelation and feature films Filth and Wisdom (2008) and W.E. (2011).

The top 5 best-dressed at the Met Gala
With Rihanna due for another red carpet maternity leave, revealing her pregnancy in bump-hugging Marc Jacobs, it's time for Dune actor Zendaya to be acknowledged as the Met Gala's unofficial ambassador. In a custom Louis Vuitton white suit, borrowing its silhouette from London tailor Tommy Nutter who dressed Bianca Jagger and Elton John in the '70s, Zendaya was a modern-day Diana Ross. Rather than draw comparisons with Ross, making her first Met Gala appearance since 2003, Zendaya kept clear of the red carpet until the veteran singer's photos had been taken. This took some time, with Ross requiring eight men to assist with her feather boa-trimmed cape. 3. Colman Domingo The pressure was on Oscar nominee Colman Domingo, following a recent red carpet run that has shown a propensity for bold colours and masculine silhouettes infused with a queer sensibility. Domingo arrived in a dramatic blue cape that paid tribute to the late Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley before revealing a snappy pearl-embellished check zoot suit jacket from Valentino, worn with a waistcoat and grey trousers. 4. Madonna The time has finally arrived for people to stop talking about Madonna's face and take a closer look at her style. In a cream suit by Tom Ford's new creative director Haider Ackermann, Madonna exuded confidence that made her smouldering cigar unnecessary. White lace gloves were the only reminder of her Like a Virgin past. 5. Doja Cat Singer Doja Cat redeemed herself from the 2022 Met Gala where she arrived dressed as Karl Lagerfeld's cat, Choupette. The Marc Jacobs animal print bodysuit with conical cups stood out by playing with '80s imagery while Doja's peers mined the '20s and '30s. 'I've never worn anything with such a special silhouette,' Doja Cat told Vogue. 'And, thankfully, it's the most comfortable thing I think I'll ever wear to the Met Gala too!' Honourable mentions Sarah Snook Fresh from earning her first Tony Award nomination for The Picture of Dorian Gray on Broadway, Australian actor Sarah Snook had a head start on this year's theme. In a tailored black satin coat, lined in red from sustainable label anOnlyChild, Snook could have been on stage. Brooches by Rahaminov Diamonds and Saidian Vintage Jewels added a feminine touch above satin tuxedo pants. With a swish of her frock coat, Snook was able to leave the quiet luxury and basic brown suits of her Succession character Shiv Roy far behind her. Sydney Sweeney Actor Sydney Sweeney's fitted Miu Miu dress with a circular cut-out at the chest and fringe detailing was about more than looking good. Before taking to the red carpet, Sweeney posted an image to her Instagram account showing Kim Novak, star of Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, in a similar gown. Loading Sweeney is set to play Novak, who rose to fame in the 1958 Hitchcock classic, in the directorial debut of Met Gala co-chair Colman Domingo. The movie Scandalous! explores Novak's affair with Sammy Davis Jr. See, history can be hot. Halle Berry Nude illusion dresses can be challenging, with Oscar winner Halle Berry facing an uphill battle in LaQuan Smith's custom black-sequinned look with sheer panels.
