The A list singer/wannabe actress who thought she would have roles thrown at her right and left after last year, is discovering, no one really wants to hire her for straight acting gigs. She is going the way of other A listers who then try and have people create projects so they can star in those, but it never works.
Lady GaGa

Gaga, just go Spirit Cook with Marina Abramovic.
ReplyDeleteWell she can't act and she isn't pretty, so the only roles for her are singing ones.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she could play an aspiring talented singer who has her persona copied by a hack friend and then she mysteriously dies from falling off a building? 🤔
ReplyDeleteShe has a phenomenal voice. Don’t know why she cant be satisfied with that. Never realized until she did that Sound of Music Special how good she was. Streisand was the exception, not the rule as far as crossover roles.
ReplyDeleteCarrie Underwood was Maria in the “The Sound of Music Live!” special.
DeleteHe meant "The Sound of Music" tribute at the Academy Awards, and then Julie Andrews came out on stage.
DeleteAm I the only one who didn't like 'a star is born'?
ReplyDeleteNo you are not.
DeleteI particularly disliked Coop's drunken Batman voice.
@Marlin, Voices are a dime a dozen, that's why even great singers often still have to suck c*ck to be stars.
ReplyDelete@longtimereader
ReplyDeleteNo you are not. It was trash and that "Shallow" song was also trash.
Nobody cares about Gaga because once you take the freakshow away, there's nothing interesting about her or her music. She needs to get her old team/crew back together and just go back to doing what she does best. Taking b tier pop songs and making them huge hits because of the visuals.
ReplyDelete@longtimereader. No, it was a monumental waste of time. I borrowed it from the library so at least I wasn't out any cash
ReplyDeleteAnd the fact that they left in that cheesey "just want another look" line summarizes how bad it really was
the problem is, the kind of movies gaga wants to star in don't get made much anymore. if this was 20, 30 years ago and she'd done a star is born she probably would have become a huge acting star, with big roles thrown at her. but most "big roles" these days are huge franchises which would be an insane commitment for her. so what she really wants are more "prestige" roles that would contend for awards or upper-level romcoms. but those aren't made in huge numbers anymore, there are lots of other actresses (who have put in years of the "grunt work" that gaga is trying to skip) plus her quote is probably in the tens of millions since her oscar win, so productions would just think "it's not worth it when we can get an elizabeth decki or a felicity jones for a tenth of that"
ReplyDeleteif she really wants to make it as a huge actress she should take smaller roles for virtually no pay (maybe with a back end deal like j-lo's recent hustlers gig) and build up a body of respected work. but her reps would never suggest that because it wouldn't make them money. but as it stands, hollywood doesn't see her as a bankable actress for a non-singing role (nor should they)
Unless she randomly gets another big movie roll or Ryan Murphy hires her for something again, she be in Vegas at Caesars or The Flamingo in 2 more years!
ReplyDeleteWith the right angles and lighting, she can light up a screen. She is not entirely incapable of acting. She is just as demanding and obnoxious as Babs was at her peak. But she has failed to nail down an equally obnoxious producer as Babs did.
ReplyDeleteWill Gaga ever have enough pull to get the Italian Yentl made?
Maybe she can do Mariah Carey's role when they re-do PRECIOUS
ReplyDelete@Gordon, With the right angles and lighting you can make the Statue of Liberty disappear too 😅
ReplyDeleteIt was obvious with the long, long entrance scene at the beginning that ASIB was going to be awful. I fastforwarded through it on the plane.
ReplyDeleteI agree w/ everyone here except I didn't see ASIB and I do like the song Shallow.
ReplyDeleteShe SHOULD be happy with her singing career/talent and she SHOULD DEFINITELY get her old crew back together, that was working.
Sadly, I think they don't like her anymore because she pissed them all off.
Didn’t see ASIB, haven’t liked her since she threw her muse off of the building, BUT I have to say she killed it in AHS. Granted, she was an extremely well dressed vampire with few pouty lines so maybe the role came natural..but she just knocked that one out of the park.
