Madison Ellis - 'Movies vs. Reality'
Madison always had a crush on Gabrielle Union in the movie "Deliver Us From Eva." He had checklists for girls he dated. That didn't work too well. Now he's taking what he learned and applying it to his love life, his philanthropic efforts - and to his expectations for himself.
