Pop star and actress Madonna has decided to quit films as she is positive the media is hell bent on ensuring her films are flops. The singer was lauded for her performance in the big screen adaptation of the musical Evita, but she has suffered a string of flops, most notably Body of Evidence and Swept Away, her last movie role directed by husband Guy Ritchie, which failed to secure a cinema release.

And the 47-year-old, who is currently in the midst of her Confessions world tour, will concentrate solely on her music career from now on. She says, “I hate to admit it, but I’ve decided to give that up.

“How can any film survive if everyone says it’s going to be a flop from the very day the project is even conceived? “It’s already dead in the water.”
