Madonna vetoes Guy Ritchie plan to hire Rick Astley for Revolver wrap party

The Mirror reports that Madonna blocked a plan by husband Guy Ritchie to hire Rick Astley to perform at the wrap party for Revolver.

One from The Mirror, now, who report that Madonna has vetoed a plan by husband Guy Ritchie to hire singer and former eighties quiff sensation Rick Astley to perform at the wrap party for his latest movie, 'Revolver'.

The tabloid quotes a source as saying: "Guy and the production staff on the movie thought hiring Rick would be a cool thing to do for his cast and crew, who had worked so hard on the gangster flick. They were discussing how to make it a bit different and somehow came up with the idea of hiring Rick."

But Madonna didn't like the idea, although I'm not sure exactly why the wrap party entertainment has anything to do with her, as, as far as I can see, she has no official involvement with the film. "She wasn't into the idea at all and didn't find it amusing," said the source. "No one can understand why Madonna didn't approve of him being the star attraction."

The Mirror suggests that it might have something to do with the fact that Rick's cover of 'When I Fall In Love' outsold her single 'The Look Of Love' back in 1987.
