Sorry not sorry! A scoop is a scoop and this is our  job – and Perez is great at it!

Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett truly had a special relationship, and the pop star will always carry a reminder of that on her body in the form of a tattoo that he drew for her.

Lady Gaga won her first Oscar playing up-and-coming singer/songwriter Ally Maine alongside Bradley Cooper in 2018′s A Star is Born. However, she wasn’t the only pop icon considered for the role.

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper‘s A Star Is Born duet “Shallow” is a massive hit that fans are unlikely to forget anytime soon.

Lady Gaga is among the many mourning the death of Tony Bennett, who died on Friday at age 96.

Lady Gaga has sold millions and millions of records and tickets to shows over the course of her years-long singing career, but when it comes to acting, she seems to be fully committed to the art of performing on screen. That commitment includes the idea of going “method”  on set, never breaking character even when cameras aren’t rolling.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Pop-jazz singing legend Tony Bennett died July 24 at age 96, after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease seven years earlier. His 75-year career followed a classic three-act structure: a rise through the 1950s and early ‘60s that culminated in his biggest hit, “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” in 1962; the loss of pop opportunities as rock took over, resulting in deeper explorations into jazz; and a return to superstardom in the 1990s as he won the album of the year Grammy for “MTV Unplugged.” Actually, “we had a fourth act, with Lady Gaga, that lasted 10 years,” says his son, Danny Bennett. Danny became his dad’s manager in 1986 and oversaw one of the great comebacks in music, which ended with Bennett and Gaga taping a final special at Radio City Music Hall on his 95th birthday.

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga certainly appeared like the oddest of couples.That was most definitely the case when the “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” crooner paired up with the shock diva — who sang “He ate my heart” on 2009’s “Monster” — for their first collaborative album, 2014’s “Cheek to Cheek.”The two had previously worked together, on his 2011 “Duets II” LP, playfully partnering on “The Lady Is a Tramp,” the same year that Mother Monster had gone full-on zombie in her “Born This Way” video.That was about as far as you could get from Bennett’s classy, debonair style.

Lady Gaga apparently didn’t want to be called by her actual name on the “Joker: Folie à Deux” set.

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga‘s special friendship spanned many years.

Lady Gaga saying that “Tony Bennett saved [her] life” in the wake of the latter’s death.The veteran crooner died in New York City today (Friday, July 21) at the age of 96. A cause of death has not yet been disclosed, but Bennett had been living with Alzheimer’s disease since 2016.His final studio recording was 2021’s ‘Love For Sale’, a collaborative album with Gaga.

The dynamic duo, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga, shared a special bond and created a lifetime of cherished memories through their collaborations and love of music. The famed American singer died Friday at the age of 96 in his hometown of New York City, his publicist Sylvia Weiner confirmed to Fox News Digital. As of now, there has been no specific cause of death announced, although Bennett was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2016.

Lady Gaga only wanted to be called “Lee” on the set of Joker: Folie à Deux, cinematographer Lawrence Sher has revealed.Appearing on The Trenches Talk podcast, Sher explained how he initially struggled to connect with Gaga (real name Stefani Germanotta) until her started using her newly preferred name.“I remember I didn’t know Stefani at all and, strangely, I felt like I never even really met her, even during the makeup and hair test,” the Oscar-nominated DP said.“I remember for like a week being like, God, I feel like we’re like disconnecting, not even connecting, we’re like, on opposites. I’d say to my crew, ‘Jesus, I can’t like crack it.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Lawrence Sher, the Oscar-nominated cinematography for “Joker,” revealed on “The Trenches Talk” podcast that he “never even met” Lady Gaga on the set of the sequel, “Joker: Folie à Deux,” because she was presumably in character the whole time (via IndieWire). Gaga stars opposite returning lead Joaquin Phoenix in the 2024 comic book movie, which casts her as Harley Quinn opposite Phoenix’s Joker. Sher said it wasn’t until he started calling Gaga by the name “Lee” (presumably a nod to Harley) that she even warmed up to him. “I didn’t know Stefani at all,” Sher said referring to Gaga’s real name, Stefani Germanotta. “Strangely, I felt like I never even met her, even during the makeup/hair tests. Maybe it was my philosophy of not trying to get in their space. And then I remember for a week, being like, ‘God, I feel like we are disconnecting. Not even connecting. We are like on opposites.’ And I would say to my crew, ‘Jesus, I can’t crack it. She either hates me or we hate each other. There’s something weird going on here.’”

Lady Gaga famously takes fairly extreme steps to commit to her roles while working on a movie, and that appears to be the case for Joker: Folie a Deux.
