AMC Studios is getting into the fashion business.
The AMC Networks division is teaming with Perry Mason co-creator Rolin Jones to adapt Maureen Callahan's 2015 novel Champagne Supernovas for television. AMC Studios will shop the series to third-party buyers, meaning the potential drama series will not be produced for one of its in-house networks.
Champagne Supernovas chronicles the rise and indiscriminate demise of the genius designers, stylists, models, photographers, patrons, gossips, ravers and muses that invaded the fashion world in the 1990s with just enough rope to hang themselves (and revolutionize an industry).

Lady Gaga has a new album and a new duet partner — why not a new made-for-tv movie?
Sources tell EW that Lifetime plans to develop Fame Monster: The Lady Gaga Story, as originally reported by Deadline. Points for the title, Lifetime, but this unauthorized project sounds like a failure before takeoff. It’s based on the (unauthorized) book Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga by New York Post scribe Maureen Callahan, and without Lady Gaga’s involvement, it’s likely the overcoming-obstacles montage is going to have nondescript pump-up music as opposed to, you know, one of her hits.

Lady Gaga herself is not involved in the project. This will be the first biography of Gaga, although HBO recently aired a concert documentary which touched...

In things you never knew you wanted until you heard they were in the works news, casting has reportedly begun for a biographical Lifetime movie on the life of Lady Gaga.
Showbiz 411 reports the film is said to be an adaptation of Maureen Callahan's Mother Monster bio "Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga" and a casting call (below) has gone out for the role of Stefani Germanotta/Lady Gaga:
“[Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga)] is a bright rebellious Catholic school girl who dreams of fame. The story covers her from age 16 to 22. When we first meet her she is a dark haired, off beat, very talented and intensely ambitious teen. She comes from a Italian/American well off, close knit, Upper West Side NYC family. She never felt she ‘fit in’ with her fellow students in high school and was disappointed when her college experience at Nyu didn’t meet her expectations.

Lifetime is developing Fame Monster: The Lady Gaga Story, a biopic of the famous pop star. The project, named after Gaga’s 2009 Ep, is being written by Norman Snider (Casino Jack) based on Maureen Callahan’s 2010 book Poker Face: The Rise And Rise Of Lady Gaga, with Ilene Kahn Power (Lifetime’s Who Is Clark Rockefeller?) executive producing. Lady Gaga is not involved. Fame Monster chronicles the life of Stefani Germanotta, who started her musical career as a rocker and later was transformed into pop mega star Lady Gaga. The project has been heating up at the cable network and could get a green light soon. Gaga shot to stardom with her debut studio album, The Fame, in 2008, and has been making headlines as much for her music as she has for her outrageous outfits.

HollywoodNews.com: Exclusive: I don’t know if she knows it, but Lady Gaga is getting a Lifetime movie biopic. A casting call has gone out for an actress to play Stefani Germanotta, aka Gaga, from Lifetime. Listed as the producer is Ilene Kahn Power. Norman Snider has written the script for the film called “Fame Monster.” It’s a Toronto production. I’m told it’s optioned from Maureen Callahan‘s book, “Poker Face.” It’s not a “go” movie apparently, but they’re casting away. I’m told it’s also a love letter to Gaga, and not a’ “slash and burn.” It’s going to be about she invented herself, I’m told, and not about her copyrighted later appearances and costumes.
