Lady Gaga to Play Lady Chameleon in 'Machete Kills': Will She Be a Good Actress?

According to critically-acclaimed director Robert Rodriguez's verified Twitter account, best-selling recording artist Lady Gaga (real name Stefani Germanotta) will star in "Machete Kills." Gaga will play the role of Lady Chameleon in the highly-anticipated sequel to "Machete," which will also be directed by Rodriguez. It is Gaga's first major acting gig.

Gaga known for her eccentric style and out-there personality, has recently made headlines for dissing "Call Me Maybe" singer Carly Rae Jepsen for overtaking her hit single "Born This Way" in the music chart rankings. Gaga also met resistance in Indonesia, when attempting to hold a concert there and was eventually denied entry.

The good news for Gaga is that her casting in Rodriguez's latest film is one that makes any beefs or setbacks pale in comparison. "Machete Kills" may be Gaga's first major role, but she was actually rumored to be cast as Amy Winehouse in a biopic, following Winehouse's untimely death last year. Gaga has already proven to be one of the best music has to offer and at this point, makes it look easy. We'll see if she does the same when transitioning to the silver screen.
