Uh-oh... watch out Gaga, even Madonna couldn't pull this off!
Pop sensation Lady Gaga has already taken over the music industry AND made herself into a fashion icon - what's left for her to tackle? Hollywood, of course!
"She's very excited about a movie, but she wants to do it right. She wants to work with the best people in the business," a source tells News of the World.
The report also claims that the film Gaga wants to make is a cross between Michael Jackson's 80s Moonwalker flick and Beyonce's Dreamgirls and that director Bryan Singer is being discussed for the project.
"Straight music is never going to be enough for her. If she isn't breaking new ground and doing new things she doesn't really feel that she is truly alive," adds the source.

These Michaele Salahi stories just keep getting better and better! First her fight with Whoopi on The View and now this.
The Real Housewives of DC starlet skipped the show's official premiere party, but the Washington Post reports that Michaele and her hubby got served with court papers at their own private party late last week.
PR firm Brotman-Winter-Fried Communications claims the couple owes over $15,000 in unpaid fees from a 2008 polo event.
BWF prez Steve Winter says the following: "It was an affidavit for debtors interrogatory. It means they'll have to appear in court to discuss their financial means - how they are capable of paying off the debt."
Hmm, I have a feeling that this is one situation where bad press isn't always good press.

Charlie Sheen, who was recently sentenced to 30 days at Promises after pleading guilty to misdemeanor assault in a Christmas Day fight between himself and then-wife Brooke Mueller in Aspen, admitted to getting into a "huge fight" with Mueller months before, which resulted in her hitting her head, according to a new report.
When police arrived to the rented home on X-mas day, Muller apparently told them that Sheen threw her around "like a rag doll" in the months before the fight, according to Real Aspen.
Brooke told the officers that in 2008, Charlie shoved her head into a piece of furniture that resulted in a closed-head injury, which required a CAT scan and treatment by multiple physicians, although she never reported it to police at the time.
Charlie didn't dispute the claims that Brooke got injured after a fight, but did say the injury was accidental.
“I asked [Sheen] if he ever harmed Mueller in the past,†the Aspen officer wrote in the report. “[Sheen] stated that approximately two months ago, in California, Mueller accused him of sleeping with prostitutes. [Sheen] stated that he denied this allegation, which escalated into a 'huge fight.' He added that when Mueller attempted to leave the argument, he grabbed her by the wrist, causing her to fall to the ground. [Sheen] added that Mueller hit the back of her head on a piece of furniture as she fell to the ground. [Sheen] stated that Mueller was injured when her head contacted the furniture. [Sheen] added that neither he nor Mueller reported this incident to law enforcement. [Sheen] added that Mueller received medical treatment for her head injury. [Sheen] added that the Mueller's injury was not intentional, adding that she accidentally hit her head as he was trying to restrain her.â€Â
Chief Deputy District Attorney Arnold Mordkin said that prosecutors investigated the allegations, but that the claim could not be substantiated.

Of course, she was joking!
Jennifer Aniston talked to Entertainment Tonight about her upcoming role in The Switch, where she plays a woman who handpicks the perfect sperm donor to conceive a child with, a plan that goes awry when her best friend, played by Jason Bateman, switches the sperm at the last minute.
When asked what she wants for a baby, Jen joked, "I want it to match my Jimmy Choos ... and my couch."
But she got serious when the subject turned to whether or not she would consider IVF on her own.
"I don't think for me personally that is something that I want, but again I say you don't rule anything out because I don't know what's going to happen anymore," Aniston said. "I could walk out of this hotel and meet the man of my dreams or get hit by a bus. Anything is possible."
Including a child for the 41-year-old actress. "I have said it years before and I still say it today," she said on the fact that yes, she still wants to be a mother.

Mia Farrow says Naomi Campbell lied about accepting blood diamonds from warlord Charles Taylor.
Campbell testified that she received several small "dirty-looking stones" from two men at a September 1997 dinner that was hosted by South Africa's former leader, Nelson Mandela. Naomi said she didn't know if the men who gave her the gift were connected to the former Liberian ruler, who is currently on trial for war crimes.
Mia Farrow, who was also at the dinner, said in testimony today, “Naomi Campbell entered the room where my children and I were already eating breakfast. As I recall it she was quite excited and said, in effect, 'oh my god, in the middle of night I was awakened by knocking at the door. It was men sent by Charles Taylor and he sent me', as I recall, 'a huge diamond.â€Â
She added, “Her demeanour seemed excited. She seemed excited, happy.†And even Farrow's children agree with their mother. “I also discussed it with my children, who remember exactly the same thing,†she said. “It was an unforgettable moment. I remember when she came in on the breakfast and said she received a diamond from Charles Taylor.â€Â
This of course disputes testimony by Campbell who claims she was given three small "dirty stones" as opposed to a giant diamond.
“I did not see the diamonds. I can only tell you what Naomi Campbell said. That’s what I recall to the best of my abilities,†Mia said.
Both Naomi and Mia testified during the indictment in The Hague.

Madonna is feeling the pressure from her daughter Mercy's biological dad who wants the singer to send pictures of the little 5-year-old, according to the Daily Mail.
Last year, Madonna adopted the little girl from Malawi. Mercy's father, James Kambewa, never met the young girl before the adoption took place. As for Mercy's mother, she died at the age of fourteen during childbirth. Kambewa claims he thought his daughter had died at the time, as well.
Kambewa tells the Daily Mail:
"I would appreciate if Madonna could send me pictures of how she looks like now as I don't get any pleasure of being with her. It's emotionally painful for me as a father."
According to online reports, Kambewa missed the chance to see Mercy back in April when Madonna returned to Malawi to launch her school for girls.
As for how he feels that Madonna is now Mercy's mom, Kambewa adds, "I'm very happy that Madonna is taking care of her."
David Banda, who's biological father is not Kambewa, was also adopted from Malawi by the singer back in 2006.
