PHOTO MASHUP Lady Gaga in talks to play Amy Winehouse in biopic film?

ByStarcasm Staff

There was a whisper that Scarlett Johnasson was in talks, but today there’s an equally unsubstantial, but certainly more plausible rumor that Lady Gaga might play the complicated diva. The UK’s Daily Star claims the pop superstar is in secret talks with film execs, claiming that a “Hollywood Insider” said the following: “Lady GaGa worshiped Amy and would love nothing more than to transform herself into her idol on the big screen.”

VIDEO Marko Germar’s unforgettable tribute to his mom on So You Think You Can Dance

ByDarren O

We write about TV all the time and it’s a challenge to remain grounded and not consider yourself “above it all.” Sometimes a performance does that for me which was the case when dancer Marko Germar dedicated a flowing and beautiful piece choreographed to the tune of “I Know It’s Over” by the late Jeff Buckley to his mother that brought guest judge Lady Gaga and the house to tears. This is a must see.

Weird Al premieres Gaga spoof ‘Perform This Way’

ByDarren O

In the pop universe “stars” come and go yet somehow the master of the parody song, Weird Al Yankovic, manages to maintain relevancy decade after decade.

His latest work is a spoof of the biggest pop star on the planet now Lady Gaga as he turns her anthemic “Born This Way” on its head as a song all about Mother Monster called “Perform This Way.” This is his first single in 5 years and one that almost didn’t happen.

How did Lady Gaga top Oprah on the Forbes Celebrity 100 List?

ByRuby Turpin

When you look at the 2011 Forbes Celebrity rankings, the first thing that pops out at you is that Oprah isn’t on top and Gaga is. A little closer look at what put Gaga on top uncovers something very interesting about this year’s rankings. If you look at salaries, Oprah’s $290 million dwarfs Gaga’s measly $90 million. And when you look at the television ranking, Oprah is still number one. So, what gave Gaga the edge?
