WHAT IS ‘SPECIAL’ ABOUT MADONNA’S MANSION?
According to TMZ, the 63-year-old pop star listed the LA mansion on the market for just under $26 million (R409 million).
The home is situated in Hidden Hills, where several of Hollywood’s A-listers all live including Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Canadian musos, Drake and Justin Bieber.
According to the area’s website, what makes the Hidden Hills “special” is “the absence of sidewalks and streetlights” and the “presence of horses, llamas, ostriches and the occasional cow”.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, planning for Madonna’s biopic is underway and the casting process is fierce. The publication reports that the actress chosen to portray Madonna in the film must be able to dance and sing.
The award-winning entertainer said she will play a big role in the production of the biopic.
“The reason I’m doing it is because a bunch of people have tried to write movies about me, but they’re always men,” said Madonna on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
