Guy Ritchie told to recruit Madonna for Nike commericals

Madonna and Guy RitchieGuy Richie signed up to direct a series of "mini movies" for sports brand Nike - and they've asked if he can recruit wife Madonna to take part as well.

A source said: “Nike have commissioned Guy to put together some really cool feature-length adverts to last the entire commercial break.

“His brief is to make miniature movies with Nike gear as the star of the adverts. That’s unless he can rope Madonna in to add her presence to the campaign.”

The 'Like A Virgin' singer - who turns 50 later this year, is a huge fan of exercise. She runs several miles every day and has even bought the house next door to her London pad to convert it into a gym.

It's not like Madonna needs the work, though - she has just topped the first-ever Forbes magazine Cash Queens of Music list - banking a massive $72 million USD between June 2006 and June 2007.

Most of that money was earned from her landmark Confessions tour, the highest-grossing tour for a female artist, earning $260 million worldwide.

Madonna also enjoyed income from record sales, her deal with high street fashion retailer H & M and payment from NBC for rights to broadcast her concert performance at London's Wembley Stadium, Forbes reported.
