Guy Ritchie had wanted to hire 80's crooner Rick Astley to perform at the wrap bash for his latest film, Revolver. But Madonna banned the move.

A source says: "Guy and the production staff on the movie thought hiring Rick would be a cool thing to do for his cast and crew, who had worked so hard on the gangster flick. They'd been filming scenes on the Isle of Man and wanted to have a bit of a party when they had finished. "They were discussing how to make it a bit different and somehow came up with the idea of hiring Rick."

Madonna "[w]asn't into the idea at all and didn't find it amusing. "When word got out that they were going to ask Rick along, the staff thought it was a great idea. "Of course, he's cheesy but that was the point. It would have been a real laugh. Everyone was looking forward to dancing to Never Gonna Give You Up. "But no one can understand why Madonna didn't approve of him being the star attraction."

--Now there's a blast from the past.
