Madonna Reveals Plot Details of Upcoming Biopic
In a casual, hour-plus Instagram Live on Thursday (Sept. 10), Madonna and Oscar-winning Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody discussed plot details of the movie that will cover her “struggle as an artist trying to survive in a man’s world.

We’ve been working on it a few months, and it’s been a bit weird writing about me. I have to remember a lot of stuff that later on disturbs me, so it’s kind of like a form of therapy.

Six Additional Nine Inch Nails Members to Be Inducted Into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
While there’s no Nine Inch Nails without founder and creative visionary Trent Reznor, he’s had a stellar, if revolving supporting cast, and six of those musicians — Atticus Ross, Robin Finck, Chris Vrenna, Danny Lohner, Ilan Rubin and Alessandro Cortini — will be honored at NIN’s 2020 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, SPIN has confirmed. They’ll all participate in the induction proceedings, to be broadcast on Nov. 7 during an HBO and HBO Max special.

Filter’s Richard Patrick, who started his career with NIN, will not be inducted, nor will Grammy-nominated keyboardis...
