Madonna may have starred in a few big-screen blockbusters but her favourite acting job ever was in the sitcom Will And Grace.

She said: “It was purely and simply very fun to do. I got to invent a new catchphrase – ‘Cut to me’ – which fans say to me all the time. I loved it.”

Pharrell Williams admitted he reduced Madonna to a sobbing wreck while working on her recent album ‘Hard Candy’.

The producer said he made the icon cry like a baby during recording sessions for the record.

“I totally made her cry like. Like a baby. I had to get her a towel,” he told Shortlist. “We were alone recording the album and she kept talking a lot of rubbish, so I shouted a lot of rubbish and she started crying her eyes out.”

The N.E.R.D man admitted he had been quite nasty to Madonna, but said he had no plans to make their scrap public until the singer spoke about it herself.

“I just said some really nasty stuff, I guess. And yeah, she cried for a really long time actually,” he said. “To be honest I can’t believe she told someone about it. The whole situation was quite intense. It’s totally weird to make Madonna sob, but even stranger when she tells everyone, ‘Pharrell made me cry’.

…Christopher Ciccone’s “extraordinary” story has been the subject of much hype in recent months, with the industry anticipating a mystery memoir.

Simon & Schuster have now unmasked the writer, who has previously worked closely with the singer as a creative advisor for her live show.

“Life With My Sister Madonna” will have a first print run of 350,000 in July and the publishers expect great things of the book.

“Ciccone’s extraordinary memoir is based on his life and 47 years of growing up with and working with his sister – the most famous woman in the world”, they said.

Ciccone and his sister are not said to be close anymore, according to the star’s spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg.

Speaking about the book, she said: “Madonna has not cooperated with any biography about herself.”
