Lady Gaga in talks to star in Barbra Streisand's 'Gypsy'

Lady Gaga might add another role to her acting resume as she is in talks to star in Barbra Streisand's film adaptation of Gypsy. Speaking to Extra, John Travolta shared more details about his dinner with Gaga and Barbra, and confirmed that Streisand wants Mother Monster to play Louise in her upcoming film.

"I called Barbra and said, 'Lady Gaga is next door on her American Horror Story. I met her, she's lovely, I really think you should meet her, she's a visionary like you,'" Travolta recalled. "So I set up a dinner and we just had a great time, exchanging ideas and feelings about life, and it went about six hours."

Talking about the long-gestating Gypsy film, he added: "Well, yeah, I mean Barbra wanting to do Gypsy for years, and she's been developing it, and I think she always visualized Gaga as Louise and maybe me as Herbie."

Ryan Murphy, who is currently working with Gaga on the set of American Horror Story: Hotel was at the get-together as well. "One day John Travolta said 'I want to meet Lady Gaga,' and I said OK," he told E! Online. "So I bring him over to her and she's naked covered in blood, doing a sex scene. And it was like, 'Oh, maybe it's not the right day for this.' And he was standing behind the monitor like cheering her on, and she was like, so thrilled the first time meeting John Travolta. So I ushered them off into a room where I was very proud they got to meet each other. And I said you know Gaga, Barbra Streisand is such a huge fan of yours, because she thinks you're so fearless and that brought tears to her eyes. And he knew about my ongoing obsession with Barbra Streisand so he said we should all get together."

Murphy continued: "So the next day the phone rang and it was John's people saying how's dinner this Saturday at Barbra's house. So Gaga and I said you've got to be kidding me. So we both instantly said yes, and we showed up and it was like like a five-hour fever dream of what you would want at Barbara Streisand's house. We got the tour of the underground mall, and we got to see the costumes and... What I loved about it was their admiration for her and her admiration for them, and I was just watching. I was proud of her. And Gaga dressed up for the dinner. She was wearing a see through crocheted dress for dinner, I believe. Gaga made an entrance at Barbra Streisand's house that was pretty astounding."

Gypsy is a 1959 musical that contains many famous standards such as "Everything's Coming up Roses," "Together (Wherever We Go)," and "Let Me Entertain You."
