MADONNA'S REP SLAMS SMOKING SPECULATION
MADONNA's spokesperson has rebuked speculation the MATERIAL GIRL has
started smoking again after she was snapped holding a cigarette -
insisting it was just a prop for her new movie project.
The pop superstar has stepped behind the camera to direct W.E.,
which tells the story of Britain's King Edward VIII, who abdicated the
throne after falling in love with American divorcee Wallis Simpson.
Filming began recently and Madonna headed to France earlier this
week (begs26Jul10) to direct a number of shoots.
She was snapped on location holding a cigarette and a lighter,
prompting reports she had taken up smoking again, a habit she quit
when she was younger.
But a spokesperson for Madonna has told Britain's Daily Mail the
gossip is not true, insisting the singer was merely holding a prop
cigarette for one of the stars of the movie.
