ANDREW DICE CLAY: DON’T GIVE UP ACTING!

Andrew Dice Clay must cringe every day when he hears the news because there’s always another word or reference he’s got to leave OUT of his stand-up act. In fact, we wonder if he still HAS a standup act because his early act would be entirely unacceptable today. We saw him at the Hollywood Bowl around fifteen years ago and the Diceman character insulted women and gay people in dozens of different ways. The guys in the audience loved his horrifying and filthy act – they swilled beer and cheered every diss. It got so rowdy and obnoxious that we chose to leave. Since belittling women and gays has fallen out of favor, we suggest that Andrew stick to acting!

BRADLEY COOPER DID HIMSELF A FAVOR

Bradley Cooper and his partner Irina Shayk have a lot to celebrate. His movie, A Star is Born, is a bonafide hit and most important of all, it solidifies his future as a director. His performance in the melodramatic movie as a nice guy who happens to be an alcoholic is so on target it almost smells like an Oscar. Keep in mind that the film is fun at times, but in the long run, quite depressing. You are more likely to walk out of it sobbing than singing, so if you’re looking for a good time, this might not be your movie.

LADY GAGA TOOK CHARGE OF HER WARDROBE MALFUNCTION

Oops! Lady Gaga is in London for the A Star is Born premier tomorrow and her wardrobe betrayed her. She was posing for paparazzi a few minutes before this photo was taken and the slit in her wrap coat opened up WAY too high. Gaga manually held it together until later when she could discreetly slip some black bicycle shorts underneath. She and her boyfriend Christian Carino dressed alike in black leather for a visit to a London pub.

LADY GAGA: HER LIFE COULD CHANGE AFTER FRIDAY’S PREMIER

Lady Gaga’s movie premier of A Star is Born at the Venice Film Festival is turning into a family affair. Gaga flew her mother Cynthia to Paris to join her and her boyfriend/agent Christian Carino for some shopping and fun before they move on to Venice for the movie’s world premier Friday. (It’s not in competition.) Today Christian and Gaga took Cynthia for a private tour at the Louvre museum. Gaga is probably a nervous wreck and very excited about her big movie because it already has Oscar buzz and could change her life…

LADY GAGA PLAYS THE NAME GAME

Lady Gaga’s outfit here defies explanation but at least it’s colorful. Now that she’s starring in the A Star is Born remake with Bradley Cooper, Gaga has decided to cultivate another identity for acting. Previously she did acting bits (like American Horror Story) billed as Lady Gaga, but for Star she is being credited with her birth name Stefani Germanotta. She’s not the first – Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) and Sean Combs (Puff Daddy) reverted to their real names for acting.

LADY GAGA IS GOING TO BE A MOVIE STAR – THANKS TO BRADLEY COOPER

Lady Gaga is turning into a Malibu beach bunny. She’s walking around in skimpy shorts and a tank top with no makeup and looks perfectly happy as an ordinary person. Well not quite. She’s hanging out with her new best friend Bradley Cooper, who talked her into starring with him in a remake of “A Star is Born” and HE is directing. It’s rumored that Beyonce was up for the role, but she wanted too much money so Gaga stepped in. Gaga will play a young up and coming performer and Bradley is the older actor who helps her out while his own career is fading. Isn’t this the fourth remake of this movie?

A STAR IS BORN: BEYONCE HAS MET HER MATCH IN CHRISTIAN BALE

We imagine Clint Eastwood wasn’t thrilled to hear about Beyonce’s pregnancy because he hoped to start filming their movie “A Star Is Born” in February. Odds are it will be delayed. Clint really wanted Leonardo DiCaprio to play the male lead but he passed on the part. Now we hear Eastwood has hired Christian Bale to play the celebrity husband who becomes emasculated as his wife’s popularity rises and his own eclipses. We’re thinking Bale will bring QUITE a different edge to the character. This will be the fourth remake of the movie – in the 1974 version, Elvis Presley was desperate to play the role opposite Barbra Streisand – he felt it would change his career. But Colonel Parker nixed the idea.
