LADY GAGA IS SINGLE, BUT LIFE COULDN’T GET MUCH BETTER!

Unlike Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga doesn’t need two men to hold her up when she walks in high heels. Musically, her career is in a good place and acting-wise, BIG doors are opening since Gaga appeared on American Horror Story. Not only has Bradley Cooper cast her in A Star is Born, but Barbra Streisand has re-doubled her obsessive efforts to film the musical “Gypsy” with her and Gaga starring as mother and daughter. Streisand is hounding her friends to invest in her pet film (Barry Levinson is set to direct) since financing fell through last month.

WATCH OUT NEW YORK, HERE COMES BRENDA VACCARO!

What a treat! We ran into the adorable Brenda Vaccaro at a party and it brought back tons of memories. We’ve been writing about the Midnight Cowboy actress, whom you’ve seen in dozens of movies and even more TV shows, for DECADES! Since, in fact, she and Michael Douglas were a couple! She’s been married to her current husband, Guy Hector since the 80’s and no one thought it would last! Actually they are a good match and seem to have the same sense of humor. Brenda is just now packing up for a move to New York where she’s filming a Netflix psychological thriller series, Gypsy, with Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup. Naomi plays a psychotherapist who can’t resist getting involved in her patients’ lives. Brenda is a troubled patient. Watch for it early next year…

BARBRA STREISAND AND LADY GAGA AS MOTHER AND DAUGHTER?

#barbrastreisand #ladygaga

Suddenly it’s dawned on us why Barbra Streisand was so adamant about looking young in the billboards and ads for her new movie “The Guilt Trip.” It’s because she wants to star as Mama Rose, the fiftyish character in “Gypsy” – the movie remake she’s been struggling to put together. Barbra, 70, plans to direct the movie and hopes to convince producers and investors that she’s not too old to play the Mama Rose character made famous by Ethel Merman and Rosalind Russell. Barbra would LOVE to cast Lady Gaga to play her character’s mousey daughter who grows up to be the flamboyant stripper Gypsy Rose Lee. That WOULD be brilliant casting, but it’s the first Gaga has heard of it. We wonder what SHE thinks about playing second fiddle to Barbra…

BARBRA STREISAND IS PLOTTING ANOTHER MOVIE MUSICAL

Barbra Streisand has no intention of letting “Little Fockers” become a significant part of her legacy. She’s acquiring the rights to do a remake of Gypsy – the Broadway musical that was turned into a movie in 1962 with Rosalind Russell and Natalie Wood. She’ll play the Mama Rose stage mother character who belts out the biggest songs. Whether she will direct also remains to be seen, but observers think she will “soften” the shrill and bossy Mama Rose role into a more likeable character.
