Lady Gaga makes her American Horror Story: Hotel debut in new teaser

Lady Gaga is just one of many stars that we’ll see in the upcoming American Horror Story: Hotel, but she’s one of the most anticipated. By checking into Hotel, the singer is set to take on her first major TV role. A teaser released by FX Networks Monday offered the first look — albeit a short one — at the Mother Monster checking into the hotel on which the series focuses.

At just 10 seconds long, the teaser isn’t exactly the most informative, but we do see Gaga’s silver hand (complete with long fingernails and attached to her heavily ornamented arm) as she rings the check-in desk’s bell for service. From the look of it, the lounge singer she plays is just as into sartorial flair as the pop star herself is. American Horror Story executive producer Ryan Murphy admitted that he couldn’t help but make fashion part of her role during a Comic-Con panel on Sunday. “You want Lady Gaga to look a certain way. The designers have been coming out of the woodwork with looks for her,” he added.

Murphy also revealed that her character will be a villain. “She said, ‘I want to be evil,'” said Murphy of their first meeting. “I said, ‘You came to the right place.'”

In June, Murphy let it slip on Twitter that the characters played by Finn Wittrock and Matt Bomer will try to win the heart of Gaga’s character. (That’s assuming she has one, right?)

American Horror Story: Hotel, which premieres on FX in October, also stars Wes Bentley, Cheyenne Jackson, Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Chloe Sevigny, Evan Peters, Max Greenfield, and Angela Bassett.

Stop! Watch these Netflix movies before March 2024 ends

One of the blessings of streaming services like Netflix is that, in addition to their libraries of original titles, they also have titles that come and go on a regular basis. While the introduction of new titles is always nice, the downside is that titles usually leave the service when new ones join.

As March turns into April, we're going to lose some genuinely great movies on Netflix. While you still have time, though, you should check these three very different movies out.
