As who? Mr. Goldstone?

[g.d.e.l.g.i.]

Apparently as Louise?

[Wynbish]

She didn't know what a mullet is?

[ray-andallthatjazz86]

At this point I'm hoping the film happens, it can't be worse than the previous two films (especially the Bette Midler one, which only gets worse the more years go by). Lady Gaga would be a great Louise, though Natalie Portman would be my top choice.

I have no problem with Gaga as Louise, and I'd love to see Anna Kendrick as Dainty June. I'd also like to see Kevin Kline as Herbie.

Afterthought: depending on her performance in Les Miserables, Samantha Barks might make a good Louise.

[Jordan Catalano]

Will she erotically peel the flank steaks off her body during her strip tease?

[Claudia Draper]

This is finally getting out... I said this like 6 months ago..

[PalJoey]

Oh, why the hell not?

[CurtainPullDowner]

When is this sucka spose to start filming?

[madbrian]

Can't wait to see who Streisand hires to play her father...

[LYLS3637]

I'm hoping for Dick Van Dyke!

[CukorLover]

I still can't see the following line work with Gaga:

"I'm a pretty girl Mama "

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

and somewhere in Bucks County a gaggle of gays explode in laughter.

[FANtomFollies]

I was already scared of Streisand/Gypsy, and this worries me even more. I'm a HUGE Gaga fan, but I just don't know that she has the acting ability.

[Starship]

I could see Lady Gaga as Rose. It'd be a new, deranged, scary version of the character. But heck, Rose is kind of already a nut.

[JoeKv99]

The Time article that little tidbit from is flat out hysterical. Barbra Streisand is more and more like a really outrageous drag queen playing Barbra Streisand.

[TalkinLoud]

I think it makes perfect sense.

[bwayto]

Don't know if she has the right acting chops/look. Look can sort of be fixed, but she's honestly too beautiful for Louise (that is a compliment). Louise is supposed to be sort of plain looking, and Natalie Wood pretty much had that down for the film. She really nailed that role (one of her best, I think).

**Afterthought, Lindsay Lohan, fresh off her triumph in Liz and Dick? (Trying to prevent insides from bursting from sarcastic laughter)**

[random person 112]

I don't know where people are coming from when they say she doesn't have the right look. I don't even think being 'attractive' really hurts Louise that much though. Her main problem is that she has no self confidence, and is dressed like a boy throughout act one, not to mention her lack of musical ability. If Benanti and Blanchard are 'ugly' enough than Gaga sure as hell is.
Gaga without wig and makeup

[Caring Soul]

This could work!

[Dollypop]

I thought Tom Hanks was set to play Herbie.

[Jane2]

I could see gaga more as Mazeppa than Louise. Don't forget, at the end we see how really pretty Louise is.

[ljay889]

I'm not saying that she's right for the part, but someone like Katy Perry is much better suited for the Gypsy Rose Lee transformation than Gaga.

[Caring Soul]

Maybe Babs will get hubby James to play Herbie. Would love to see them act together.

[ComingUpRoses2]

I heard a rumor about Mel Gibson as Herbie. Hmmmm...

As for Lady Gaga, she looks much more appropriate when out of her performance makeup. It might work. We need to see her act first, though.

Look on the bright side, at least we won't get Lea Michele.
