Because She Really Wants to Direct, You Know…

Madonna is done with the acting thing, and will premiere her directorial debut – a low-budget, 30-minute short film titled Filth and Wisdom – at next month’s Berlin Film Festival.

Go on, laugh her off.

But keep in mind that this is a woman for whom the word “rehab” is but the title of a song. She can do anything.

The movie stars Stephen Graham (Gangs of New York), Richard E. Grant, and singer Eugene Kutz from the band Gogol Bordello, who performed with the Queen of Pop at last summer’s Live Earth concert.

In other M news, I’m told that one of the names tossed around as a possibility to induct Madonna into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March is…Justin Timberlake’s?

Mmm – I’d had thought Seymour Stein’s to be more appropriate.
