Lady Gaga, who has probably spent hours rehearsing her acceptance speeches in the mirror, is still on the promotional trail for A Star is Born (which finally opens on Friday). Today, the singer/actress appears on Ellen. In a teaser clip released prior to the interview (which was supposed to air on September 27, but was preempted by the Kavanaugh hearings), Ellen jokes that Gaga may have ghosted her.
Ellen recalled, “We saw each other at Jimmy’s wedding. I texted you after Jimmy’s wedding. Remember we said we’re gonna get together and I never heard from you?” I’m not the world’s best internet sleuth, but I think the wedding she’s referring to is that of music executive Jimmy Iovine, who married Liberty Ross back in 2016. Gaga hasn’t been on Ellen since November of 2013, so there’s that too.
Ellen continued, ”I saw the movie the other night. I texted Bradley. Bradley got right back to me. Got back to me immediately. Texted you — nothing. You never text me back.” Gaga looked embarrassed and responded, “I either don’t know what number it is, or I’ve blocked you by accident,” adding, “I’m so sorry.”
Ellen, not ready to let it go, went on, telling Gaga she prefaced her texts with “It’s Ellen” and said, “I thought maybe I had the wrong number…because why would you not respond to me?” To Gaga’s credit, she took it in stride. Soak in the awkwardness.
Ellen also shared her take on the Star is Born trailer, recasting herself in Gaga’s role. It’s…umm…cute?
My favorite Gaga interview around Star was her appearance on The Graham Norton Show. Graham Norton is the best. Who else could get Gaga to play theremin with Doctor Who’s Jodie Whitaker?
The multiple premieres of the movie have given Gaga ample opportunities to show off her enormous ring, which is rumored to be her engagement ring from finance Christian Carino. Page Six spoke with a jewelry expert who estimated that the ring, featuring a pink center stone surrounded by smaller colorless diamonds, could have a hefty price tag. According to Kathryn Money of jeweler Brilliant Earth, “A natural pink diamond of this saturation and size would be very rare, easily costing over $1 million.” She went on to add that, “If made with a premium-quality pink sapphire, this ring would cost upwards of $100,000, depending on the characteristics of the specific gemstone.”
That’s a whole lot of ring, but if anyone can pull it off, it’s Gaga. I’m not a fan of pink stones, but for whatever reason, it works on her. What kind of wedding band do you wear with a ring like that? All I know is that it will look nice on her hand while she’s clutching (at least) another Golden Globe.
