I kinda knew this was fake from the beginning  What a random project for Gaga to be involved in.

Yeah except that's not what you were doing when you wrote, "I'm not sure how much more clear one can be.  "

You were just talking down to me as if I couldn't understand the (old) situation, though my comments were in reaction to the new articles and claims made by Dionne. 

Well, sorry if I'm tone was pointed or gave off that impression.

Tea. It seemed so random for her to pick this indie project where the lead is played by a Destiny's Child reject, the rumored director hasn't made a good movie in more than a decade and where she'd play role that would be way too difficult for her, because of the accent.

If she isn't linked to the project, why was her name on that picture with the poster in the background? Photoshop?

Because they knew that Gaga's name would draw attention to the movie, simple as that. The name was on there, but Gaga never even signed a contract to star in the film.

At a Cannes party on Friday night, Dionne Warwick spoke to Variety about the shocking casting reversal involving Lady Gaga on the biopic “Warwick.”

Earlier in the day, Warwick held a press conference in Cannes, where she revealed that a movie about her life was set to begin production in the fall. She announced that LeToya Luckett (one of the original members of Destiny’s Child) would play her, and thatLady Gaga had been cast as her “arch-nemesis,” the late British singer Cilla Black.

The project made international headlines. But only a few hours later, Gaga’s representatives issued a strong rebuttal to the casting news, which had been distributed via a press release from Rogers and Cowan. “Lady Gaga is not attached and will not appear in the project,” her publicist said in a statement. “Reports of Gaga starring in the project are false.”

Reached by Variety, Warwick insisted that her casting announcement was true. “Actually, it’s just a little glitch,” Warwick said about the debacle. “It will be corrected very soon, and everybody who retracted will have to retract again.”

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.”

Warwick said she hasn’t talked to Gaga directly about the role, but has been in touch with her manager. “We finally have gotten texts and everything from everybody saying we’ll get it straightened out,” Warwick said.

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.

When pressed again about Gaga’s involvement in the project, Warwick somewhat backtracked. “As far as I know — yes,” she said of Gaga co-starring in “Warwick.” “And if she’s not, somebody else will be. It’s that simple.”

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?”..."

"She admits Gaga hadn't signed a contract" 

 

so you put her in the press release and POSTER without her legal commitment?! 

 

Wtf mess!

 

SUE HA GAGZ👏🏼

I think Gaga is not YET accepting this role, because she doesn't want her fans to sense that she's already accepting different projects even if she's still working with her album.

Maybe in the near future she'll accept this, but not now. 

[Lord Temptation 11,209]

Look how we're all going crazy!

[FFXSoul91 1,098]

Maybe this was someone's twisted way of offering her the part? 

[Pablo 7,811]

 Kind of messy PR, how many times will it change tomorrow?

The truth is she's not involved, Gaga's representatives are a better source than any other sources. She hasn't even heard about the project. They really should stop promoting their movie with Gaga's name while she's not in, that's  kind of annoying.

1. Dionne Warwick and co. announce Gaga's involvement at their Cannes press release. 

2. Gaga's film reps deny any involvement or knowledge of the project

3. Dionne Warwick tells reporters that there is a miscommunication between Gaga's people and that she was involved.

4. Dionne has also told reporters that Gaga hasn't signed a contract yet. 

 

5. Dionne and Co. need to get their **** together. And Gaga's team needs to put this to bed once and for all. I hate that they're dragging her name around for press and blaming things on her. If Gaga was planning on joining but was currently undecided, I think today might convince her that these aren't the right people to work with. 

Thank you for taking the time to explain what my lazy butt could have found out. 

 

And you are very right, if this is how messy things are, now, Gaga should stay far away from these people. 

[Koreku 2,387]

The fact that they slapped Gaga's name on the poster without her having even heard about the project... wow

Gaga needs to release a statement FFS. Hurry up b*tch, a tweet won't kill you.
