Despite her track record on-screen not being too hot, it’s been reported that pop icon Madonna is desperate to enlist the talents of Australian Oscar winner Cate Blanchett in a brand new film musical, about the life of American socialite Wallis Simpson.

According to Britain newspaper The Sun, the 50-year-old “4 Minutes” singer is planning to direct and produce a musical about Wallis, the woman who Britain’s King Edward VIII gave up the throne to marry. The script is written, and “Doctor Who” actor David Tennant in onboard. Now Madge wants our Cate.

“Madonna sees Wallis Simpson as her next big film project,” says a source. “She is fascinated by this American commoner who refused to conform or offer explanations for her tangled love life. It was all systems go until the divorce, when everything was put on the back-burner.”

As a divorcee, Wallis was forbidden from marrying the future king. Edward gave up his throne rights in 1936, and the couple moved to France as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
