'W.E.': Madonna Cut Daughter Lourdes From New Film

Madonna Lourdes

Perhaps Madonna's daughter Lourdes gave her mother hydrangeas for Christmas?

The Material Girl's offspring had a small role in her mother's film, "W.E.," which opens in theaters this Friday. However, as the singer/actress/director told MTV, she ended up having to cut the scene from the film.

"There was a scene where [Lourdes] played Wally [Wallis Simpson] as a young girl. And I just kind of dragged her in at the last minute. It was quite unfair of me what I did and what I asked her to do," admitted Madonna. "But she was really great and then I ended up cutting her out of the film. Ruthless, I know. I said, 'Sorry babe, you're on the cutting room floor.' She took it like a champ."

Motherly! At the very least, this proves Madonna really won't pull any punches, even for her own children. Hopefully, Lourdes got something out of it, like, uh, free tickets to the Super Bowl?

Fame has really gone to this twit's head. She thinks that she's *so* above everyone else. It's really sad that she goes through life with such an angry, pissy attitude, when she should be counting her blessings and acting a little more grateful.

Nothing wrong in Madonna making her children develop their own career and not use her as a way to do it. Nothing wrong with that at all. So many stars want their children famous just because they are born to them. In the real world that does not fly and Madonna knows it. So nothing wrong with her making her children make it on their own and not use her as a stepping stone.

For those saying she was jealous or it was cruel or self centered? are you serious? Clips from films get cut all the time. I am sure it wasn't personal towards her daughter NOR was it because she's jealous. Perhaps the scene just didn't fit in the movie or it was too long, or it just didn't work. Film makers shoot scenes all the time and then later realize they just don't work. So they cut them. I am sure this was the case. And She did apologize to her daughter and said it probably wasn't fair of her to bring her in to do a scene when it ended up cut. I am sure her daughter didn't take it personally. Honestly if it was someone else's scene cut no one would be bashing Madonna. In fact this just shows she doesn't give her daughter any special treatment because she's her daughter. She treated her like any other actress in the film. And once more if it were another actress and that scene got cut no one would care.

Why does she act as bad as her mother???

Just proves she's the ruthless wretch she's always been - even spites her own daughter! Fearing future competition perhaps????

Maybe she should have cut herself out and left her daughter in the film? I'll be first in line for this movie. Uh huh.

Wow. Bitter? Jealous? Wouldnt take much. Madge looks ill and in need of some fatty foods for a while. Oh yeah....and she needs some sun....badly. "Alabaster" or "porcelaine" skin only looks good on woman who look healthy.

Cuts like this are made ALL the time. Whole scenes, whole performances of characters.
It's a business and the only fault I'd make (as a writer/ producer, which I am) is why the character was IN the script in the first place.

If she really wanted to make a good film, she would have cut herself out of it.

I agree!

Why does everyone attack women when they get older, but we revere old male singers and rock idols like Johnny Cash and the Rolling Stones until the day they die? Come on, people, enough with the double-standard already. It's OK to dislike Madonna, but at least do it for a reason that isn't sexist and unfair.
