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.

3 Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend (April 26-28)
Luke Kirby and Michelle Williams in Take This Waltz.

As you've probably noticed, this is the last weekend of April. That means Hulu is about to lose some of its best movies before the new titles arrive May 1. And while we've already shared five great movies leaving Hulu at the end of April, those aren't the only terrific titles going out the door.

That's why this week's picks for the three Hulu movies that you need to stream this weekend are off the beaten path from the films we've previously chosen for April. We've picked out a historical drama, a romantic dramedy, and a remix of a classic Charles Dickens story. But since these movies are only around until April 30, you should catch these flicks before they go off to some other streamer.

Like Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout show? Then watch three shows and movies starring Ella Purnell
Lucy enters a house in Fallout.

Fallout has proven to be one of the bigger hits in Amazon Prime Video's existence, and it's also one of the most anticipated shows the streaming service has to offer this year. The series, which is loosely adapted from the popular video game franchise, stars Ella Purnell as a newly invented character who has to set off on a quest that will take her to the surface of a postapocalyptic version of Earth.

If you watched Fallout and found yourself intrigued by Purnell, in particular, then you're in luck. She's still a relatively new face in Hollywood, but she's starred in a number of projects in recent years, many of which have required her to hide her British accent. These are three you should definitely check out if you're a big Purnell fan.
