Lady Gaga Will Star in ‘American Horror Story’
The offbeat reinvention of Lady Gaga continues to confound.
After releasing “Cheek
to Cheek,” an album of jazz standards with Tony Bennett, 88, and
slaying a medley from “The Sound of Music” at the Academy Awards, the
dance-pop queen will star in the fifth season of “American Horror
Story,” she announced on Wednesday.
Lady Gaga teased the project in a brief trailer,
titled “American Horror Story: Hotel,” posted to her Twitter account,
which shows the singer removing an ornate black mask not out of step
with her elaborate red carpet costumes. “Make your reservation now,” she
wrote to her 44.5 million followers. The latest chapter in the campy
anthology series, created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk of “Glee,”
will premiere in October.
While Lady Gaga has
never hidden her theater-kid instincts, “American Horror Story” will be
her first regular acting role. In addition to her mini-movie music
videos, the pop star has appeared briefly in films including “Machete
Kills” and “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.”
Previous seasons of
“American Horror Story” have featured Jessica Lange, Connie Britton,
Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett. The show’s fourth season premiere in
October was the most-watched program in FX history.
