Madonna is coming in a new ad campaign. In this ad, she is appearing for Dolce & Gabbana performing mundane tasks around the house. The star poses eating pasta, peeling fruit and washing dishes in low-cut designer clothing.

The campaign - shot in New York City last month - will reveal Madonna’s interpretation of a modern day version of iconic Italian actress Anna Magnani. Madonna was photographed in a domestic setting - intimate, sensual and in constant motion – as if the images were frames from a black and white film.

The resulting photos which will appear in magazines around the globe beginning of January reveal a never before seen side of one of the world’s most famous women.

The photos were taken by celebrity photographer Steven Klein.

Mel Gibson is set to direct a movie about Vikings, with help from producer Graham King, who produced “The Departed,” and staring Leonardo DiCaprio, who also stared in “The Departed.” The Viking flick is set to start filming next fall, which means it will probably be released sometime the following year. The Viking film has not yet been named, but William Monahan, who also helped with “The Departed”, is currently writing it.

No plot has been revealed yet, but it is assumed that it will be a very bloody, very action-packed epic movie, similar to “Braveheart,” which Gibson directed. Hollywood hasn’t seen a decent Viking movie since “The Vikings,” in 1958. With the producer, screenwriter, and star, of the Oscar winning film “The Departed,” there are high hopes for this to be another one of Gibson’s impressive historical film.

In his most powerful performance to date, Ben Foster stars as Will Montgomery, a U.S. Army Staff Sergeant who has just returned home from a tour in Iraq and is assigned to the Army’s Casualty Notification service. Partnered with fellow officer Tony Stone (Woody Harrelson) to bear the bad news to the loved ones of fallen soldiers, Will faces the challenge of completing his mission while seeking to find comfort and healing back on the home front. When he finds himself drawn to Olivia (Samantha Morton), to whom he has just delivered the news of her husband’s death, Will’s emotional detachment begins to dissolve and the film reveals itself as a surprising, humorous, moving and very human portrait of grief, friendship and survival.

Featuring tour-de-force performances from Foster, Harrelson and Morton, and a brilliant directorial debut by Oren Moverman, THE MESSENGER brings us into the inner lives of these outwardly steely heroes to reveal their fragility with compassion and dignity.
