Clearly, Madonna is not settling into anonymous domesticity, not even briefly.

The pop queen's Madguy Films has entered into a deal with VH1 to produce television films based on music history and culture, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The first film produced by Madguy (so named as a compound of Madonna and Guy Oseary, her partner at Maverick Records) will be "The Dusty Springfield Story," a biopic devoted to the late '60s pop star generally regarded as the most soulful British female singer of her generation. The film is planned for a late-2001 or early-2002 broadcast.

But VH1 has proven its music-moviemaking mettle without Madonna throughout the past two years, with the likes of "Strange Frequency" and "Meat Loaf: To Hell and Back." So four other projects are scheduled for production this year: a fictional thriller, a courtroom drama, a comedy and a biopic dedicated to Def Leppard, surely the most resilient pop-metal band in world history.

Additionally, the Associated Press reports that Deborah Gibson will star in and write music for "Teen Queens," which is one of those films mentioned above. It will concern the rivalry between two former teen-pop stars, who, as budding prima donnas, engaged in a televised, career-destroying catfight on an awards show. In their post-teen years, the two become managers of teen-pop acts of the next generation, and the spat begins anew.

"Teen Queens" will no doubt set Gibson to reminisce about the salad days of the 1987-1988 Debbie Gibson-Tiffany rivalry.
