Wendy Williams on Lady Gaga Lifetime Biopic

Talk show host Wendy Williams gave her opinion today on Lifetime’s tentative Lady Gaga biopic. Tthe proposed title is something along the lines of “Fame Monster: The Lady Gaga Story.” Wendy wants Lifetime to know that Gaga fans are not interested in some sanitized, cleaned up version of Lady Gaga’s early days:

“We want the drugs,” Wendy said, “we want the boyfriend, all the clubbing, even the living on the couch in the street.”

“Better yet,” she continued, “if you want to do it right, maybe the movie should move to HBO.”

She’s got a point there and said that Lifetime movies tend to run along the lines of ‘Mother, May I Sleep with Danger,’ ‘Too Young to be a Dad,’ and Wendy’s all-time fav, ‘My Stepson, My Lover.’

“My heart beats for Lifetime,” Wendy said.

Here’s the casting call for the movie:

“[STEFANI GERMANOTTA (LADY GAGA)] is a bright rebellious Catholic school girl who dreams of fame. The story covers her from age 16 to 22. When we first meet her she is a dark haired, off beat, very talented and intensely ambitious teen. She comes from a Italian/American well off, close knit, Upper West Side NYC family. She never felt she ‘fit in’ with her fellow students in high school and was disappointed when her college experience at NYU didn’t meet her expectations.

So, with her parent’s reluctant permission at 19, she drops out and moves downtown to the Lower East Side where the artists are. Independent and strong willed, Stefani learns she must be something more than a talented young girl and to really stand out, she must change. The story covers the ups and downs of her amazing rise and eventually to her transformation to Lady GAGA. We are seeking an actress who can physically resemble Lady GAGA (see photo) and who can believably span ages 16 to 22. Singing is preferred but not required.”

Lady Gaga herself is not involved in this production but she actually was on HBO before anyone heard of her. She had a small part on The Sopranos as one of the teens involved in the school vandalism that almost got A.J. (Robert Iler) sent to military school in the 2004 episode “All Due Respect.”
