CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Madonna movies are the big buzz in Hollywood. And our friend Tracy St. George of Atlanta's Q-100 Radio is here with that and so much more from the entertainment world.
Good morning, Tracy.

TRACY ST. GEORGE, Q-100, ATLANTA, GEORGIA: Good morning.

It's like a national holiday for us Madonna fans. I am telling you, there should be no mail. The banks should be closed. Madonna movie coming out tomorrow.

COSTELLO: Oh, but I was reading in "Newsweek," they had a little review and it compares her acting abilities to P. Isidora's.

ST. GEORGE: No, that's just uncalled for. I can't believe that. Now, I mean she's great in some movies, others she's not so fabulous. But "Evita," she was great. "Desperately Seeking Susan" she was awesome. She's going to be in the new James Bond movie. And, of course, tomorrow "Swept Away."

COSTELLO: Yes,.

ST. GEORGE: I've seen the trailer for that. I think it looks great. It looks really funny. Her husband, of course, directed it. And I think it looks great.

COSTELLO: But there's a premise in the movie that she's stranded on this deserted island with this guy and he treats her like dirt.

ST. GEORGE: Yes.

COSTELLO: And kind of forces her into situations, shall we say, that are risque. And then she comes to love it and love him.

ST. GEORGE: That, see...

COSTELLO: I've got to...

ST. GEORGE: ... a true love story, though. That's beautiful.

COSTELLO: Oh, Tracy.

ST. GEORGE: You can't -- and Madonna can do no wrong. She can do no wrong.

COSTELLO: Oh, Tracy. You know, she's going to be on Larry King tomorrow.

ST. GEORGE: Yes. Tonight, isn't it?

COSTELLO: Oh, is it tonight? It's tonight.

ST. GEORGE: It's tonight, 9:00. See, it's a holiday today, too, for us Madonna fans. Tonight and tomorrow, stop everything, it's Madonna, yes.

COSTELLO: OK, yes.

Hey, let's talk about a true love story.

ST. GEORGE: OK.

COSTELLO: J. Lo and Ben, because we always have to have an update from you on the situation.

ST. GEORGE: We do. They got married, believe it or not.

COSTELLO: They did not!

ST. GEORGE: OK, it's really in their new movie "Jersey Girl." They got married in the movie...

COSTELLO: Shoot!

ST. GEORGE: But I did hear they're planning a big wedding for Valentine's Day in Puerto Rico.

COSTELLO: I thought that was just like nothing.

ST. GEORGE: I know...

COSTELLO: Those stories about them being engaged...

ST. GEORGE: She's wearing a big pink diamond on her engagement finger.

COSTELLO: A big pink diamond?

ST. GEORGE: A big pink one, yes.

COSTELLO: How long do you think it'll last? I think we should take our bets now.

ST. GEORGE: OK, I'm going June of 2004.

COSTELLO: June of 2004?

ST. GEORGE: I'm giving her a whole year. I'm giving her a whole year and a couple months.

COSTELLO: You're kidding?

ST. GEORGE: No. COSTELLO: I give it eight months and then they're going to secretly be living apart. So the marriage will actually last a few more months.

ST. GEORGE: Right. OK. And then back with P. Diddy (ph)?

COSTELLO: Oh, yes, that would be good.

ST. GEORGE: See? That could be a good twist.

COSTELLO: OK.

Hey, let's talk about the Britney Spears because, you know, there's a big controversy with her chain of restaurants.

ST. GEORGE: Right, exactly. Have you ever eaten there?

COSTELLO: No.

ST. GEORGE: Well, if you do, there's a real secret ingredient she uses in some of her dishes, rust.

COSTELLO: Rust?

ST. GEORGE: Rust. Her cans are dented. The people went in there and they said hey, your tomato cans, rusted, dented and leaking. So they had to, I don't know if they had to close it down or what, but she got in a little bit of trouble with her NYLA restaurants.

COSTELLO: I'm sure she acted right, yes.

ST. GEORGE: Yes, the rust flavor I don't think was supposed to be in it. But it was really, you know?

COSTELLO: Yes, give it a good color.

ST. GEORGE: Yes, exactly.

COSTELLO: Did you hear about Val Kilmer?

ST. GEORGE: Val Kilmer, yes, exactly. He's going to be doing a porno.

COSTELLO: He's going to be doing a movie about John Holmes.

ST. GEORGE: Yes, the porno star.

COSTELLO: Why is a movie being made about John Holmes?

ST. GEORGE: I guess it's with that whole murder thing, the whole big murder thing.

COSTELLO: Oh, he was allegedly involved in a triple murder and...

ST. GEORGE: Right. Exactly. So Val will be in it playing John Holmes. Christina Applegate is also going to be in it and Lisa Kudrow. So I think that's going to be a good one, starting the filming in November.

COSTELLO: So we'll be watching.

ST. GEORGE: And hopefully he'll be wearing his leather pants again like he was when he was (UNINTELLIGIBLE).

COSTELLO: Well, if he's doing John Holmes, he won't be wearing any pants.

ST. GEORGE: Oh, that's right. I wouldn't mind seeing that either. That's not so bad.

COSTELLO: Oh, Tracy, you make me laugh, as usual. We'll see you next Thursday.

ST. GEORGE: Sounds great. Thanks, Carol.

COSTELLO: And just another reminder, Madonna and her husband, Guy Ritchie, are guests on CNN's "Larry King Live" tonight. Among other stories, Madonna talks about meeting Ritchie at a party hosted by Sting.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

LARRY KING, HOST: How'd you meet him?

MADONNA: I met him at a lunch, at a sort of garden party in the middle of the summer in the back yard of Sting and Trudy's house in London, in the English countryside.

KING: He's a great guy, Sting.

MADONNA: Yes, yes.

KING: Was it right away?

MADONNA: Love at first sight?

KING: No, immediate heavy attraction?

MADONNA: Major chemistry, yes. Absolutely.

KING: Both parts?

MADONNA: Yes.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

COSTELLO: A chemical reaction. That really wasn't an encore, because that's going to air tonight. The Madonna interview in its entirety on CNN's "Larry King Live" tonight at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time.
