Madonna Links Up With Julia Garner In New Pics Despite Shelved Biopic

Madonna and Julia Garner had the time of their lives at a recent event!

The Queen of Pop and the actress appeared in pictures snapped at photographer Steven Klein's birthday bash in New York on Sunday, April 30. The hangout has renewed fans' hope that Madonna's previously scrapped biopic might be getting resurrected soon. 

When Madonna and Garner turned up at Klein's party over the weekend, they did so in style and grace. While the "4 Minutes" hitmaker remained her fabulous self in a sheer black outfit, which she paired with leather gloves and minimal makeup, the "Ozark" star made a statement in a cut-out black dress with chain detailing around the waist. 

The pair posed for photos, which the "Like a Virgin" singer uploaded to her Instagram Story, starting with them sharing a plate of fries. Both celebs looked straight at the camera as they held one chip each to their lips, with their left hands supporting the container.

Across the image, the popstar penned, "B***h we're Madonna," referencing the potential return of her self-directed biopic titled "Little Sparrow." In a second update, Garner placed her hands around the mother-of-six in a warm as they both smiled slightly. 

For their third image, the duo stood in front of some yellow-colored decor that reflected on their faces, with the "Take a Bow" hitmaker closing her eyes to take in the entire experience. Meanwhile, the "Inventing Anna" actress kept her eyes open, creating an album-cover impression.

As for "Little Sparrow," which was initially scrapped at the start of the year following the two-time Golden Globe winner's tight schedule for her upcoming tour, The Blast noted that insiders shared their concerns.

One source claimed that the businesswoman's continued social media "circus antics" had played a part in the biopic getting scrapped. In the insider's words:

"Madonna did herself no favors by acting weird on social media during this entire process. She signed a contract to make this film, and that should have been the signal to her to stop the circus antics, stop chasing likes, and just buckle down and get this movie into shape."

The source explained that even though the "I'm Going to Tell You a Secret" star's "funny" posts were "catnip for her die-hard fans," they displeased those at Universal. Despite that, Garner has remained hopeful about the biopic's future, stating during a recent interview:

"I don't want to tell too much. I want to keep things… yeah, fingers crossed."

The three-time Echo Awards recipient has opened up to those in her inner circle about removing her fillers to create a more "natural look" ahead of her "Celebration" tour. As reported by The Blast, one such person stated:

"Madonna's hinted she wants a more natural look and might be willing to get some of the fillers dissolved to speed up the process. She's desperate to undo some of the fillers and work she's had done before she embarks on her tour."

A second insider added that the "Desperately Seeking Susan" actress wanted to take a different approach  while "slowly" dissolving "some of the fillers." She is also said to get "some nips and tucks to rejuvenate her face as she doesn't want it to be too sudden or people will notice."

They added that even though she was determined to undo the facial procedures, Madonna's body would remain "rock-hard" as she has been putting in long hours at the gym preparing for her tour.

Some sources claimed that Madonna's need to look like her usual self was triggered by the backlash she received for her face at the Grammy Awards earlier this year. Following the numerous questions about the plastic surgery that harmed her face, the Raising Malawi co-creator took to Instagram to respond, writing under a clip:

"Once again, I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in. I have never apologized for any of the creative choices I have made nor the way that I look or dress, and I'm not going to start."

The post has since been deleted.
