What a mess. But I'm glad, I tried to be Britishly polite earlier :toofunny: there's no way she would have time for all this, AHS & music/promo by the end of the year. I know she likes to challenge herself but it seems like SUCH a random role.

Why does every little thing revolving around Gaga since 2013 have to be somehow messy or cause of drama

Gaga's management claim they have never even heard of the film :toofunny: 

 "I emailed Madonna personally and her management gave me their blessing to release Born This Way..." teas. :sis:

Well I feel this is a good thing and a bad thing. 

1) Gaga's name being attached to the film didn't come out of thin air...I'm sure there were discussions and Gaga agreed but didn't realize it would conflict with scheduling. Therefore, she had to decline after agreeing. However, it also sounds like it wasn't 100% confirmed and the cast and crew jumped the gun without Gaga's full commitment. :saladga: 

2) This basically confirms Gaga is planning on doing some major album promo AT LEAST by the time October is here, so she won't be available to do anything else! I guess that's SOME kind of time frame from when we can see LG5 :shrug:

I actually thought this was an April Fool's joke when I saw this and then realised it's May. One of the most random mistakes I've ever seen. The only reason I can think of as to why this happened is because Dionne once said that Gaga wasn't all that good. And someone thought to stir the pot by announcing Gaga would be in a film playing someone who stole one of Dionne's songs. All seems a bit too perfect. I think it is ultimately for the best, though. I can't imagine Gaga doing a Liverpool accent. She'd get torn to shreds by the British press if she did this and failed. The tv series starring Sheridan Smith was so well received and Cilla herself loved it, that it would have been too high a bar to do vault over.

If you have, that is Dionne Warwick.  ;)

It's all wishfull thinking on her part. It's disgusting how she is using Gaga for publicity.

 

Although a source told Variety that Gaga had never even heard about the project, Warwick blamed Gaga’s team for the mishap. “It wasn’t her that issued the statement,” Warwick said. “It was her PR people. It’s like everything else. The right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing. It becomes a problem. When they start talking to each other, it’s going to make a difference.”


She admitted that the “Born This Way” singer hadn’t signed a contract for the role, despite Gaga’s name appearing on a poster for the movie at Friday’s presentation.

She added that Gaga not appearing in the project wouldn’t affect the fate of the biopic, which is supposed to enter production in October. “It isn’t starring Gaga,” Warwick said. “It’s starring LeToya Luckett. It’s about Dionne Warwick, not Lady Gaga — OK?”

If you're referring to Dipnne Warwick, she is a LEGEND!  With hits like "I Say A Little Prayer For You" and "That's What Friends Are For" and she is/was the cousin of Whitney Houston!  :poot:
