Quote:
Lady Gaga will not be playing English singer Cilla Black in “Dionne,” the Dionne Warwick biopic, her rep tells Variety.
“Lady Gaga is not attached to this project,” her publicist said.
According to a source, Lady Gaga had never even heard of the mov
Glover will play Warwick's father, while Lady Gaga will portray Cilla Black, the singer's "musical nemesis." Olympia Dukakis will play Marlene Dietrich, who was Warwick's mentor.
Still am here for the biopic. Cant wait to hear walk on by,do you know the way to San Jose, promises promises, april fools, green grass starts to grow. My favourite music from her is her pre-80's work.
Oh god I dread to think how people over here in England are going to react to this, she only passed away fairly recently and I can just imagine everyone attacking gaga for this :/
Like Cilla had a really thick Liverpudlian accent?? How the hell is she going to pull that off?
I have faith in her cause she is amazing, but this seems like such a strange role for her... What kind of film even is this? One that will actually be cinema released, or just a small tv movie type thing??
bitch is doing a movie?
this could be bad.
