The eagle eyes over at The Playlist always have their eyes out for scoops from unlikely sources, which is how they picked up on a report on French film site Tout le Cine that Madonna has added her 13-year-old daughter Lourdes to the cast of W.E., her sprawling, somewhat experimental biopic about English King Edward VIII and his affair with American Wallis Simpson.

There's also a bit of scuffle about whether or not Ewan McGregor has signed on to play Edward-- Perez Hilton has claimed that he is, but a source tells Gossip Cop that the story is absolutely not true. Either way, Vera Farmiga is still on board to play Simpson, and Abbie Cornish has a role in the film as well. Does Madonna figure that both women are good role models for her daughter, and that explains the casting?
