Lady Gaga Not Playing Donatella Versace

Contrary to reports last year that Lady Gaga was to portray her friend Donatella Versace in the forthcoming American Crime Story drama set to focus on the 1997 murder of Versace's brother, Gianni, the show's creator has confirmed that it won't be the case.

“Not really," he said, when asked if there had ever been talks. "She’s a friend. But she’s very busy this next year - she’s doing Super Bowl and then she’s doing A Star Is Born and I believe that she’s going on tour. And when you’re going to do a show like Versace, it’s a five-month commitment, it’s a very big show, we’re shooting it all over the world. So I just don’t think with her schedule, I knew that it would never had worked. But I would love to work with her on something in the future."


Murphy's not wrong when he speaks of Gaga's busy year. Following a momentous 2016 - which saw her release her sixth studio album, Joanne; win a Golden Globe for her work in the television series American Horror Story: Hotel; become the first woman to have four US number-one albums in the Noughties; take headline slots at the Grammys, the Oscars and the Victoria's Secret show, and hit the campaign trail for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton - 2017 looks to be no different.

But if not Gaga as Versace, then who? Few could fit the bill as perfectly as the original mooted choice.
