Madonna to tape 'Inside The Actors Studio'! — Page 2

When is this airing? Hopefully it will somewhat involve her talking about her music. She's truly known for her music over anything.

And you simply do not get MORE pretentious than Lipton!

Of course there's more than one British accent, just like there's more than one American accent.

(and any other country you want to name)

That's why I said *a* British accent, not THE British accent.

Sheesh.

The problem with James Lipton is that he's a pompous ass out for his own glory. Inside the Actor's Studio was a wonderful idea that at some point went wrong. Documenting interviews with theater artists is a wonderful idea. It gives a record for future generations. However, somewhere along the way it became less Studs Terkel and more Oprah Winfrey. Perhaps needing to attract more viewers they needed a different format.

I remember watching the interview with Carol Burnett and knowing that the show was heading downhill. In that show, Carol tells about having to prove who she was using her trademark Tarzan call. Then Lipton looks over his glasses and meekly asks "Would you do it for us?" Asking this comedy legend to do something that has been recorded on her show several times was repetitive and useless. Use the time to find out about the woman, not repeat stuff we already have recorded.

Never said a British accent was superior to Detroit.
You assumed that yourself.

You can have a Detroit accent...I actually enjoy when Eminem talks.

I just said I'd prefer to have a British one.
who friggin cares anyway....let us all live and cut the picking apart...

Madonna's a billionaire, happy mom of 4...she's earned it..been in the spotlight for 30 years...she can turn Mormon and have a Ugandan accent for all I care.

She worked her ass off to get to where she is.
it wasn't handed to her...she's living the American Dream.



so,..suck it.

Namo - sorry luv but as much as you love to hate Madonna im afraid you are very wrong about her new film, word is very positive from all who seen the few 40 min screenings she has done (especially here in the UK), and yes Namo i know 2 people who were at the screening and one girl called Abbie (an actress i directed a few years back) who has a small role in the film. However im sire you will hate it, if you didnt hate it then what else would you have to do with your time?

As for the accent, im a brit and ys we have many accents. Madonna's british twang was very true of where she was living, it was southern but very soft, that matches up with where she lives.

However i think she put it on a bit as well

The frustrating thing about Lipton is that he actually can be good interviewer--his interview with Spike Lee was truly amazing--but, oh, that breathy asskissing...

The alleged Madonna intereview strikes me as a phony interviewing a phony. I think I'll skip. Lipton's best subjects are ones that can flintily cut the crap and Madonna hasn't been in that place ever since she discovered Kaballah. And maybe even before then.

I did post ages back in this thread that it was already confirmed that this was NOT happening
