Madonna Pays Up in Copyright Flap
Apparently, the idea behind Madonna’s “Hollywood” video was not such a virginal concept after all.

The Smoking Gun reports that Madonna has reached an agreement with Bourdin’s son, Samuel, over the content of her video. Details of the arrangement have not been revealed. But Madonna has not acknowledged any wrongdoing in the incident.
