Madonna is planning to play a transvestite in a new Hollywood film.

And according to The Sun, the singer is so keen to take on the part that she's agreed to do it for free. The paper reports that the Queen of Pop has signed up to play Candy Darling, who starred in a series of Andy Warhol's experimental films in the 1960s. She was the inspiration behind the Velvet Underground classic Candy Says and Lou Reed's solo hit Walk On The Wild Side.

A source told the paper: "Madonna has been desperate to make a film where she can earn respect for her acting abilities.

--Sorry, M. But it will never happen.

You Said

Playing a man shouldn't be that much of a stretch for her. She is already stiff - as an actress.
