It was the premiere of Madonna's W.E in London last night and it went somewhat better than last year's London Film Festival launch when fans booed because the singer-turned-director didn't want to hang around and say hello to their mate Maureen via their handset or sign any bus tickets. She learnt her lesson though, don't worry. See, Madge - mingling isn't so bad - especially if you're wearing gloves so don't have to touch any grubby Sharpies.

W.E, which is released 20 January, has so far received mixed reviews. If you're not familiar, it looks at the relationship between Wallis Simpson (played by Riseborough) and Edward VIII (James d'Arcy), which led to the monarch's abdication, while a parallel modern-day romance runs alongside. Obviously all this love stuff got Madonna feeling emotional, even if her face couldn't show it. Talking to Graham Norton, she revealed:

"If you're a romantic like me, and every girl I know is, every girl wants to be swept away by a knight in shining armour."

Cheers for reminding us of Swept Away, Madge.
