'Madonna has the same celebrity staying power as Marilyn'

Harvey Weinstein says Marilyn Monroe's future would have looked a lot like Madonna. At Sunday's world premiere of the Weinstein Co.'s 'My Week With Marilyn,' which stars Michelle Williams as the late film icon, we asked Weinstein to name a modern celebrity whose fame will be as lasting. Weinstein responded with her Madgesty's name.
'She's the most extraordinary modern celebrity that we have,' Weinstein said at the Dior-sponsored premiere, adding: 'Madonna is Marilyn Monroe with women's emancipation.' We think he makes a viable point, but we should also point out that the marketing-savvy Weinstein is also releasing Madonna's sophomore directorial attempt, 'W.E.,' on Dec. 9.

Andyy, you're making Madonna fans look like saps. If you mean Weinstein is riding on her coat tails, then why didn't he release Filth and Wisdom? I believe he was asked...
Madonna may be considered 'number one' in many aspects of the media business, to you and some others. But as a director, I'd be surprised if she's in the top 100 of directors!!
I think you'll find in this arena, Madonna is riding on Wiensteins coat tails. He has a *far* better track record for movies than Madonna - who is just starting out in the business of actually making the movies.
*Sap!!*
