Talkback: Who Should Play Lady Gaga in Her Lifetime Biopic?
In case you haven't heard, Lifetime is stepping out of its comfort zone of original cancer movies, royal couple dramatizations and New Adventures of Old Christine reruns to develop a Lady Gaga biopic called Fame Monster: The Lady Gaga Story. In celebration of this news, Movieline asks its readers to find their best casting (meat) hats and choose the best actress to portray Stefani Germanotta in her cable close-up!
First, a few more details that will help you make an informed casting decision: Lady Gaga will have no involvement in the project if it is greenlit. The Lady Gaga Story will be based on Maureen Callahan's 2010 biography Poker Face: The Rise And Rise Of Lady Gaga with Ilene Kahn Power (Gia, Who Is Clark Rockefeller?) executive producing. According to Deadline, the project will chronicle the life of Germanotta, who started her musical career as a singer-songwriter rocker/performance artist and later was transformed into pop mega star Lady Gaga.
Movieline HQ has tossed around a few names including Kreayshawn -- the MTV Video Music Award-nominated Bay area rapper/artist/filmmaker who bares a striking resemblance to Gaga and might be attainable for the channel. What are your suggestions? Ready, set, cast!

It's pretty obvious... Tom Berenger.
Margot Kidder - She's about the only one that can bring the requisite level of bat shite keerazy to the show
Renee Zellweger.
Lifetime is making a biopic about Lady Gaga? In that case, I'm more interested in learning who will play the man who she trusted that ultimately turns evil and holds her back - until she find the inner-strength to rise above.
It's Lifetime. Let's be honest - Lady Gaga will obviously be played by Meredith Baxter.
Rosario Dawson..she really has that NY feel and incredible acting skills that could pull this off amazingly.
I'm rooting for Gilbert Gottfried...

Dame Edna Everage.
Chris Crocker.
Lucy Punch

I’m starting this Lauren Francesca fan page about how she should play Lady Gaga in the upcoming Lifetime movie. I have been a huge fan of Lauren for four years because I love the Lady Gaga parodies she’s done with the Key of Awesome. She was voted the best web parody by Entertainment Weekly for her Lady Gaga “Telephone” video and was recently featured on “20/20″.
