Morning Links: Madonna brings gun show to movie opening
Apparently Madonna directed a movie called "Filth and Wisdom" that had its premiere in Los Angeles. Although Lindsay Lohan tried to look like the Material Girl, wearing a crimped hairstyle and black dress on the red carpet, Madonna stole the show with a pair of sky-high shoes that had handguns for heels, drawing criticism from anti-violence groups. Lindsay came in for criticism too by stopping her fake tan at the ankles, then later covered up the two-tone legs with garish tights.
LiLo and Madonna were both on their own at the premiers, amid rumors that Lindsay has split with Samantha Ronson after a string of arguments. Mr. Madonna, Guy Ritchie, didn't make the movie opening either.
