Lady Gaga To (Finally) Make Acting Debut In “Machete Kills”
I’ll be honest, I disliked Robert Rodriguez’s 2010 Machete a great deal. For a movie that starred a machete-wielding Danny Trejo attempting to exact revenge on Robert DeNiro as a Texas senator and Steven Segal as some dude who weighs a lot and features Cheech Marin as a Padre and Lindsay Lohan as a Nun and Jessica Alba giving arguably the worst speech in history, well, it should have been one of those movies that, as they say, is so bad it’s good. Instead it’s so bad it’s really boring. I had no intention whatsoever of seeing its follow-up, Machete Kills (scheduled for a 2013 release).
At least I had no intention of seeing it until this morning when one Lady Gaga took to the Twitter to declare: “Yes its true, I will be making my debut as an actress ln the amazing MACHETE KILLS… IM SO EXCITED!!! AH! Filming was insane.”
Ms. Gaga is featured in a poster for the film billed as a character called “La Chameleon” with a patented Gaga-esque wig, a smoking gun in her finely primped right hand and what appears to be a dead wolf covering up her delicate what-have-yas. Just who is this “La Chameleon” and what she is up to? Uh, I think you’re missing the point, people. The point being this: LADY GAGA IS GOING TO BE IN A MOVIE!!!
Speaking in my capacity as an official Little Monster please allow me a moment to quote The Pointer Sisters: “I’m so excited! And I just can’t hide it! I’m about to lose control and I think I like it!”
See you at the movies, my Lady.
ARE YOU AS EXCITED ABOUT THIS AS ME?! IT’S OK IF YOU’RE NOT. HONEST. JUST DON’T TEAR ME COMPLETELY DOWN FROM MY HAPPY PLACE. THANKS.

Be still my beating heart. I couldn’t watch more than 5 minutes of Machete, but now I’m forced to watch the sequel. Well played Rodriguez, well played.
It’s fairly clear Rodriguez made this brilliant casting decision on account of you and I (huh???).
You two must be so excited!!
…I liked the first Machete
I didn’t mean to be so harsh on “Machete.” My apologies. One of my best friends recommended it to be – just didn’t do it for me personally, though. I think I mainly just wanted to illustrate how I would have seen ANYTHING Gaga decided to do.
I would be more excited if Rodriguez was doing Sin City 2 instead of Machete Kills though I do like Danny Trejo. I’m just kind of tired of Lady Gaga. In fact, I really hate all top 40 music these days. I’m getting old.
You mean you haven’t got “Call Me Maybe” stuck in your head yet? I envy you, sir.
Isn’t it that song that sounds like “Dominoes” by that other chick, Jessie J or something?
I’m convinced that they’re the same song.
Well this will certainly be interesting.
Yes indeed. I think even if it fails it will still at least be interesting.
Is Robert Rodriguez ever going to make Sin City 2?
