The Odd Couple

Couple 23

SOLVED!

UPDATE!

[Blind Gossip] Are these two very famous celebrities actually dating?!

She supposedly has a boyfriend, and he supposedly has a girlfriend, yet they were spotted on a dinner date together, her arms wrapped tightly around him.

What’s going on here? Is this odd couple romantically involved?

No. They are actually just considering doing a project together. He is considering her for a starring role in a film on which he is working.

Actually, that’s the real story here. Why? Because if they do work together, we think that there will be a HUGE amount of controversy about choosing her for a starring role!

BONUS CLUE! Although The Beyhive thinks every blind item is about Beyonce, this one is not.

[Optional] Is she a good choice for the starring role?

SOLVED!

Him: Bradley Cooper

Her: Lady Gaga

Potential Film: A Star Is Born

BlindGossip.com was the FIRST to let you know that the reason that Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga went on that odd date last month was because Cooper was considering Gaga for a starring role in the remake of A Star Is Born.

Things went well, and Gaga has been offered the role!

They are now in negotiations over salary. Cooper will serve as both producer and director of the film. It will be his first directing effort. We don’t know yet if he’s also planning on starring.

This will be the fourth time the film is being made for the big screen. In case you’ve never seen it, it’s about a movie star who helps a young singer/actress find fame, even as age and alcoholism sends his own career into a downward spiral.

The 1937 version starred Janet Gaynor and Fredric March. The 1954 version starred Judy Garland and James Mason. The 1976 version starred Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.

While Gaga may seem an unusual choice, she’s definitely got the chops (there’s a lot of singing in the film) and she’s got some good acting experience under her belt now with her starring role on American Horror Story. The girl’s been nominated for an Oscar and an Emmy, for crying out loud. She’s qualified.

The reason we dropped Beyonce’s name was because she was originally in the running for the same role.

Congratulations to VodkaBarbie for being first with the correct response!

UPDATE!

It’s official!

The movie just got the green light.

Lady Gaga WILL star in the remake of A Star Is Born.

Beyonce blew it, big time.

Yes, the Lady Gaga casting is big news, but we’re even more impressed with the fact that Bradley Cooper will produce, direct AND star in the film!

Any one of those jobs is a challenge, so it is exceptionally difficult to take on all three at once. We can only think of a handful of directors who have done it successfully.

One of those guys? The legendary Clint Eastwood, who will co-produce with Cooper on ASIB. Eastwood and Cooper last worked together on American Sniper.

    Her name was tacked-on to credits for that Oscar and the GG was a fluke, I can smell a bomb MILES away from the first shooting day with B. Coop and Gag me.

  2. PizzaDog says

    Can’t wait to read the Rotten Tomatoes on this one. I’ll make a prediction: 43%. ?

  3. LittleMrs says

    I believe this new version will be the fourth- the first was with Janet Gaynor in 1937! Then Judy Garland (50’s), then Barbra Streisand (70’s).
    This one is going to be exhausting. Nothing could make me watch. Nothing.

  4. jasonx says

    Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston. She was supposedly all over him at a Met Gala afterparty.

  5. berks88 says

    I can’t see anything on IMDb about this “A Star is Born” remake… how odd.

  7. ericaophelia says

    Tom Hiddleston and Carrie Fisher. They were an odd pairing at the White House Correspondents Dinner. He was also notably much taller than her.

    People have been trash talking Carrie because of her weight, (hint: HUGE). But I think Carrie is beautiful and talented so I’d support her being the star of any project.

  9. camellia says

    Why do we need another remake of A Star Is Born? The Judy Garland version can never be topped.

  11. Red Velvet says

    Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga having dinner, re. his project “A Star Is Born” (which Beyonce dropped out of)

    Bradley cooper and gaga

    Another remake of a star is born? Boring! And isnt he gay or is he still closeted?

  30. bubblegum99 says

    Bradley Cooper and lady gaga. No clue on the film but she’ll be great.

  31. GeminiKid says

    Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. Project is the upcoming (and unnecessary) revamp of A Star is Born.

  32. runaway says

    Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper were recently photographed out and about together.

    Im not a fan…but shes a serious hard worker and I’m sure shes gonna work her but off cuz she wants to be a triple threat or whatever you call a J.Lo type (actress, singer, etc)…lol Im guessing that whole showing up to dinner on a motorcycle together was just PR…but in their case…well at least definitely in Gagas its not gonna be negative cuz we all know shes not gonna cheat… Any press is good press i suppose to get a project started!

    • JerzeyJenn says

      AND…Regarding…Beyhive…bahahaha. I just cant with that! I get fans and fan clubs…but seriously worshipping and threatening people who dont bow down to their ? queen. Im sorry, where does she reign? I better be on payroll, invited to Sunday dinners where i actually would see/hear things…not just believe cuz the press says so before i would ever even consider just defending her…lol good grief! Just my’ opinion. All in good humor.

  42. Aurelia says

    Him: Bradley Cooper
    Her: Lady Gag Gag Gag

    Nope. It’d never happen, but, I’d cast Annette Benning. (sp?)

  50. JoshuaTree says

    Bradley Cooper & Lady Gaga

    He’s producing a remake of “A Star Is Born” and she’d be the controversial lead.

  52. TheSalmon says

    Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga went to dinner in LA last Friday.
    Rumor is that he’s talking to her about the remake of A Star Is Born (now that Beyonce has apparently either declined or been declined).
    It would be controversial because she has minimal acting experience. But then so does Bey, so … what’s the big?

    • TheSalmon says

      also, her arms were wrapped tightly around him because they arrived together, on a motorcycle.

  57. johnnyjewel says

    BRADLEY COOPER (closeted, beard is Irina)
    LADA GAGA (long-suffering fiance, Taylor Kinney)
    A STAR IS BORN (Cooper wants to direct and star)

    sure. why not. better than beyonce for it.

  69. agtsmd says

    Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga for sure…pics of them on his motorcycle…not sure of the project…

  70. PinkCrayon says

    Lady Gaga
    Bradley Cooper
    A Star is Born

    Optional: No. She’s not good enough actor.

  72. goldiebell says

    Bradley Cooper
    Lady Gaga
    A Star is Born
    She’d be better than Beyonce

  73. stolidog says

    Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga.
    She’s a terrible actress, to be honest….or, passable actress. She’s certainly not a good actress.

    But, it won’t matter because the world does not need another remake of a star is born

  75. pwhit72 says

    This is Bradley Cooper and Gaga for A Star is Born. I think it was originally supposed to be Beyoncé.

  76. rockpaperscissors says

    Him: Bradley Cooper

    Her: Lady Gaga

    Potential Film: A Star Is Born

    [Optional] Is she a good choice for the starring role? She’s not my favorite but I think she’d nail this role.

    • Squeezes99 says

      I think you’re right. Lady Gaga might work in that role, but Bradley Cooper is no Robert Redford. I can see Brad Pitt in Robert Redford’s role. And Lady Gaga coupled with Brad Pitt would be as odd as Robert Redford with Barbra Streisand, so why not.

    • ginnynotjenny says

      Robert Redford wasn’t in A Star is Born. It was Kris Kristofferson….

      I think you’re thinking of The Way We Were.

    • Kerzep says

      Just to be clear, Kris Kristofferson played the male lead in “A Star is Born” with Streisand.

      And, I agree, Bradley Cooper is no Kris Kristofferson either (not exactly “rugged”).

    • PinkSlip says

      omg you’re not serious. TAYLOR SWIFT???? Good Lord….

      yeah, a movie about selling lollipops and twinkies, she’d REALLY cut it there. Someone pass me the oxygen…

  80. AnguaDelphine says

    Leonardo DiCaprio and Rihanna. Why not? If she can act, I’m all for it.

    • vodkabarbie says

      Oh I didn’t see the blind was asking for the movie as well. A star is born, of course. Whoopsie.

    • JenJenJen says

      Agreed. The Beyonce clue was my giveaway because she was rumoured to be in the frame for the Star is Born remake that he’s directing.
