This weekend, Lady Gaga was photographed with Bradley Cooper. The two had dinner together, Gaga getting a ride with Cooper on his motorcycle. Cooper is planning to direct and star in a remake of "A Star is Born". Beyonce was rumored to be considered for the female role, but has now dropped out of the running. Speculation is that Gaga is going to be cast in the role (played by Barbra Steisand in the 1976 version of the film).

I never saw either version of this movie, though I do remember my mom loving the Barbra version.
I love Bradley Cooper, but don't really have feelings about Gaga HA HA. Who do you think would be a good leading lady? I'm thinking Santana from Glee!!

Deanna,
I love the soundtrack for the Streisand version, although the movie did not work for me. (I don't think I'm the same age as your mother, though!) Thinking outside the box, I'd consider Jennifer Hudson as the lead for this latest remake.

Update: Deadline is reporting today that Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga did a screen test for "A Star is Born" and that everyone was happy with the results, so it looks like Gaga has the role wrapped up.

Update: Warner Bros. has given this project a green light, with Bradley Cooper starring and directing. Lady Gaga will co-star, and also compose new music for the soundtrack. Jon Peters, who co-produced the 1976 Barbra Streisand version, is also a co-producer on this new film. Production is scheduled to begin in California in early 2017.

But.... but... but..... BARBRA! I remembered the re-recording of "Lady Marmalade" that Christina Aguilera did, and am worried. Of course, Gaga has a much bigger voice, so mayhap I am worried for no reason.
