Madonna drops in for Sin City show
Actress Brittany Murphy wowed the crowd at the premiere of new film Sin City – but was almost upstaged by Madonna who made a surprise appearance at the Leicester Square screening in London, turning up hand-in-hand with director husband Guy Ritchie.
And her last minute arrival on the red carpet threatened to overshadow the film’s stars including Murphy, Clive Owen and Mickey Rourke. The A-list couple just fancied a night at the cinema, an insider said.
“Madonna and Guy were a late addition to the guest list – we only found out today that they wanted to come. I don’t think they know any of the actors, they just wanted to see the film.” (Actually both Mr. and Mrs. Ritchie worked with Clive Owen in BMW Films’ “Star” as MadonnaTribe readers well know).
Murphy had spent an hour signing autographs for fans outside the cinema and looked gorgeous in a scarlet dress by designer Luisa Beccaria. But if she felt miffed at being upstaged by the pop superstar, she didn’t show it.
“It’s probably the second time I’ve ever been star-struck in my life. She’s my idol,” Murphy said. “If I meet her at the party I will shyly and meekly shake her hand.”
Based on the cult graphic novel by Frank Miller and presented at this years’ Cannes Film Festival, Sin City is a dark and violent film set in a crime-invested metropolis directed by Miller and mexican talent Robert Rodriguez with a cameo appearance of Quentin Tarantino who fancied to direct a few scenes.
