Madonna despises the nickname given to her by the British press so much, she couldn't wait to move back to New York City after her divorce from Guy Ritchie.

The Queen of Pop is regularly referred to as 'Madge' in the U.K. - but she hates the name, even though it's mainly used as a term of endearment.

She tells U.S. talk show host David Letterman, "That's one of the reasons I left England, so I didn't have to hear that word anymore. "Some people say Madge is a colloquialism for kinda like a boring, middle aged housewife and some people say it's short for 'Majesty'.

I think it can be quite respectable". Madonna's divorce from director Ritchie was finalised in 2008 and she has since relocated to the Big Apple, where she first rose to fame.

In other news Madonna is devoting herself to her film career - she has penned a new script and is planning to direct a movie next year (10).

The Material Girl has starred in a number of films, including musical Evita and ex-husband Guy Ritchie's Swept Away, and made her directional debut in 2008 with Filth and Wisdom.

She put her film career on hold to embark on her mammoth Sticky & Sweet world tour, which became the highest-grossing roadshow ever for a solo artist.

But Madonna is determined to head back to a movie set now the trek has finished - and has her sights set on a project by the end of 2010.

She tells PopEater.com, "I have several projects going. I have another script that I've written, and I want to direct another film. Hopefully, I'll be doing that next year."
