Some biopics are authorized and some are unauthorized, and a planned movie about Madonna’s early years in the music business is clearly going to be unauthorized.

"Nobody knows what I know and what I have seen," wrote Madonna in an Instagram post understood to be about the planned film Blond Ambition. "Only I can tell my story. Anyone else who tries is a charlatan and a fool."

According to the New York Times, "the film follows Madonna's early efforts to break into the music industry, several years after she had arrived in Manhattan from Michigan in the late '70s as an aspiring dancer. By the early '80s, after she'd sung in several rock bands, she struggled to get her first album produced."

A script for the film has been purchased by Universal, but filming hasn't started yet.

Sony and Dr. Luke reportedly parting ways

According to the Hollywood Reporter, superproducer Dr. Luke and Sony Music are "negotiating a split," after which Dr. Luke would no longer be CEO of Sony's Kemosabe Records. That's the label Kesha is signed to. The three-way relationship among Kesha, Dr. Luke, and Sony has been at the center of a two-and-a-half-year legal battle in which Kesha is trying to extricate herself from Dr. Luke, who she accuses of sexual assault and other offenses. In response, Dr. Luke has sued Kesha for defamation.

A split between Dr. Luke and Sony might on the surface seem like a win for Kesha, but the reality is more complicated. In past court filings, Kesha's lawyers have argued that if Dr. Luke and Sony were to part ways, that might make it even more difficult for Kesha to get out of her contract, which ties her to Dr. Luke personally, since they'd no longer have the label as a moderator.
