Lady Gaga will play Cilla Black (!!!) in a film about Dionne Warwick

  • May 13, 2016

Lady Gaga

EDIT: This looks like it might be some sort of bollocks.

But here's what we wrote earlier…

Look, we don't know if this can actually be true or not but the BBC are reporting it so we're on reas­on­ably solid ground: appar­ently Lady Gaga will play Cilla Black (!) in a forth­com­ing film about the life of Dionne Warwick.

Warwick herself will be played Destiny's Child original, LeToya Luckett (!!).

As you well know Warwick had a fairly rocky rela­tion­ship with Cilla, mainly because the latter's version of the former's 'Anyone Who Had A Heart' did better in the charts or something.

According to the BBC, Warwick — who was chatting about the film in Cannes — was asked why she regarded Our Cilla as her nemesis and her reply was: "Because she stole my music."

The film will be based on Warwick's own auto­bi­o­graphy, entitled My Life, As I See It.

Incredible scenes.
