Bradley Cooper flew in for Paris Fashion Week several days ago, and he’s been attending some of the big shows and parties. B-Coop is pretty comfortable in Paris. He’s fluent in French, and I would argue that Paris agrees with him. These photos are from last night’s L’Oreal Red Obsession Party, and E! News says this is the first time B-Coop has ever walked a red carpet with his girlfriend Irina Shayk. Yes, even though there were lots of rumors about a possible Bradley-Irina split, they’re still together and going strong and he’s even escorting Irina to major PFW events. I feel like he was more comfortable being photographed with Suki Waterhouse, right? Hm.
Meanwhile, in December 2015, we heard some interesting news about Bradley’s move to start directing. He’s apparently focused on doing yet another remake of A Star Is Born, and he really wanted Beyonce to star in the remake. Like, he was going to direct it and star opposite Beyonce. But Page Six says this morning that Beyonce is out of negotiations because she was asking for too much money.
Bradley Cooper’s planned directing debut, a remake of “A Star Is Born,” has fallen through after his rumored co-star Beyoncé wanted too much money for the role. Warner Bros. was negotiating with “American Sniper” star Cooper to direct and star in the remake of the 1950s Judy Garland musical. Beyoncé was being lined up to play the lead, a young woman whose dreams of stardom are helped by an aging icon.
But one Hollywood source tells Page Six, “Beyoncé wanted too much money, and Warner Bros. balked at her price. The production budget was also said to be an issue with the studio, so the project has fallen apart.”
However, a different source claimed, “Bradley has started reading scripts for his next acting project. But the ‘Star Is Born’ project remains in development and Bradley is still involved.”
A third source added, “This project is something Bradley has been involved with for a long time. It has gone on the back burner, but he’s still working on it, among other projects.”
I know this might disturb the Beyhive, but I’m not upset that Beyonce is no longer in contention for this. She’s a pretty awful actress, and people never really bought her transition to “movie star” anyway. I do like the idea of a multi-racial Star Is Born remake though, just not with Beyonce. And maybe not with B-Coop. So… maybe not!
