Following her horrific dog kidnapping incident last month, Lady Gaga is back at work on her new movie. Yesterday, she shared a photo of her and co-star Adam Driver, 37, against a snowy, Alpine setting. They’ve been filming this week in the town of Gressoney in the Italian Alps

The performers are starring in the new Ridley Scott drama, House of Gucci. In the film, Gaga, 34, plays Patrizia Reggiani, the first wife of Maurizio Gucci (Driver).
The two were married in 1973, but in the late 90s, Patrizia was charged with hiring a hitman to kill her former husband.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
It’s Gaga’s first screen role since her acclaimed turn in A Star Is Born. For that movie, she received a 2019 Best Actress Oscar Nomination and won an Oscar for the song ‘Shallow’.
Fans went wild for the sneak peak of her latest role.
Driver is known for his appearances in the latest Star Wars movies, so some compared the snowy landscape to that featured in The Empire Strikes Back.

Others just tipped them both for Oscar nominations or expressed their excitement for House of Gucci.

She hasn’t paid the reward money to the woman that found her dogs. So there’s that.

Read the article Dull Pickle….police have yet to rule out the woman as a suspect and they’ve asked Gaga not to pay out yet. So, there’s mostly that.

I know that you’re just stating a fact and not necessarily blaming Gaga but ceej11 is correct. The police have reportedly told her not to pay until the woman can be cleared of any connection to the crime. Sources say that Gaga is eager to pay to put this behind her.
As for the crime, police suspect that it was a gang initiation because similar crimes have occurred in the area. In fact, evidence suggests that they weren’t even after the doggies because the video shows that the doggies were far from doggiewalker Fischer when he was shot. They could’ve just taken the doggies and run. That suggests that shooting Fischer was the goal.
Whether it was an initiation or had something to do with Fischer personally (e.g. intense homophobia? Revenge? Debt owed?) has yet to be determined. But because no one actually wanted the doggies, returning them for a huge reward would’ve been an easy decision for the perps. And police suspect that the woman is somehow connected to the shooters.

From the first moment I heard this story I immediately thought that the dog walker was probably I in in the whole thing… I realize he was shot but it had to look authentic…. he was shot in a way that was t really life threatening and his pleas heard on the video were so staged sounding. I bet he was in on setting it up.

Highly improbable. When you stage a shooting or a stabbing, you don’t go for the chest, where the person can easily get killed. All cases I know of goes for the arm or areas with no vital organs. You may claim, of course, that the shooters double-crossed him. Even so, you’d have to explain other aspects. For example, if you want to steal the dogs, all you’d need is a break-in — and you’d certainly don’t want to do it in a public area with cameras and witnesses because too much can go wrong, e.g. innocent people being shot. Indeed, an enclosed area would mean that the dogs can’t escape. In this case, one dog did escape. And why would the perps want to add on potential charges, e.g. use of a deadly weapon, if they didn’t need to? Not only potential charges but also potential evidence in the bullet?
As for the screams, if you knew Ryan Fischer, you wouldn’t think they were necessarily fake. He’s highly theatrical so perhaps that’s just the way he reacts during panic. Do you know how YOU’d react after being shot in the chest? May you never find out…

The PR photo looks very neo-Hitchc*ck circa 1960s. Gaga expectedly looks Italian but I’m surprised at how Italian Driver looks since he doesn’t have any Italian blood. And true to life, I love Driver’s face, depicting oblivious bliss while Gaga’s expression suggests something sinister.
Patrizia Reggiani sounds like a spoiled b*tch. When offered work release in 2011 for a 26 year sentence, she refused, saying, “I’ve never worked in my life and I’m certainly not going to start now”. Despite her daughters’ support for clemency, claiming that the crime was due to her brain tumor, they are now battling over the victim’s estate. Although she was found guilty of causing his murder, the courts still awarded her an annual income of more than $1 million from his estate, plus “backpay” of $19 million.
NOTE: Queerty kept censoring this comment (“Awaiting moderation,” which essentially means that it’ll never see the light of day”) and it took me over 5 attempts and 30 mins to discover why. Moronic bot didn’t like the name “Hitchc*ck” without the asterisk. Unbelievable…
