Updated: To replace the video with a new one.
Well this is causing so Freaktards to lose their damn minds! Lady Gaga posted the above video today announcing the theme for American Horror Story Season 5. Hotel? Wouldn’t Motel be a better choice? Are we going to go all Bates Motel? Isn’t there a current series on A &E called Bates Motel? Will this one be tame enough for me to watch, because I want to see Lady Gaga act!
Lady Gaga is stepping in to the leading lady role to replace Jessica Lange who has apparently had enough horror in her life for a while.
What do you think of the theme and the new leading lady? Are you excited?
American Horror Story: Hotel premieres this October.
I am so freaking excited for this!!!!!! She’s going to be great!!
MY morning flow for the day has been clogged with this news. I am STUNNED!
Though I love the name #AHSHOTEL because creepy shit happens in hotels all the time, remember The Shining?
Lady Gaga is talented & will commit 100% to any project, but her fans are so damn young, crazy, & rabid. This maybe RyanFuckingMurphy’s new target audience.
I’m still processing this. I need a moment or two.
All that showed in the glimpse on the screen of the email notification was “New comment from URETHRA Franklin MY morning flow for the day has been clogged” and I said a prayer as I clicked to read it and was quickly relieved 😉
Actually to be honest, that phrase was an appropriate metaphor to this #AHSHotel news because indeed my day did start with a plunger! I live with a chick who thinks the toilet is a magic box that can make things disappear.
Goddamn you had to do it but I can’t stop laughing!!!
You just reminded me about the time I must have been 12, sister was 19. My dad had to plunge the toilet and he yells, who is stuffing wallpaper in here? My sis and I laughed so hard because it was our “flushable” applicators
I must admit I feel some kinda way about you living with a chick that isn’t me.

TT I would be so fucking scared to even try to sleep under the same roof. You would end up on the Atlanta news for killing me.
The list of men I’d enjoy killing is short and only contains one gay man. You’d be fine. Probably. I’d probably kill the bitch you live with now if I moved in, just because she annoyed you and that would be my job.

Oh wait, two gay men. On the hit list. I’d blocked out my last boss.

I think she’s gonna kill it – she definitely commits. Remember that year she dressed up as a dude at the VMAs? That, and SNL is the extent of what I’ve seen of her acting, but she is always impressive.
I must be a hippie because when I read UF’s flow was clogged, I thought she meant her chi! Lol, now where’s my patchouli?
psst UF is a he.

I just put myself in the time out corner. I was about to make a gross comparison about UF’s clogged flow and a certain HW. See Lentil has made me a better person.
As of right now I am not happy that Gaga is the lead. I think it’s just Ryan Murphey’s way to draw an even bigger audience to the show. I’m sad
UF, hold me…I am losing my sh*t. I don’t know what to think. No one can replace Jessica but Gaga? The possibilities….
Bates Motel is a great show on A&E. I highly recommended. Past seasons are on Netflix. Season 3 starts sometime in March.
Remember when Adam Levine got cast for #AHSAsylum? He got his arm ripped off in the first 15 minutes and DIED.
I have no idea if Lady Gaga is the star to replace the incomparable Queen Jessica Lange, or whether she is in just an episode or two. Wait and see.
I am getting a serious Hotel California vibe already..”you can check in anytime you like but you can never leave”…
I am too damn fucking old to be getting in twitter feuds with drooling rabid teens with excessive dark eye liner today.
UF, I will join Twitter just to watch you read these teens into the grave. #resurrectiondenied
UF and Tamara can we do something like You Gotta Be This Tall to Ride the Ride and Post in AHS by any chance? If Gaga is going to be there UF is right, all hell will break loose.
I’m really not a hater or a lover of Lady Gaga. I’m pretty indifferent. I already worship Grace Jones & Madonna which are the originals that Gaga has emulated. Even though she has a huge gay fan base, I don’t own a single piece of her music either, and I really can’t name any of her songs except for the one that she ripped off from Madonna.
I do think she is extremely talented, but I very indifferent to her. It’s her fans that I have issues with. They are sycophantic to point of insanity. I just don’t want that element to affect the #AHS franchise. We’ve already seen how RyanFUCKINGMurphy changes story lines midway to satisfy viewer reactions? Imagine the shit he’s gonna pull when Lady Gaga’s crazy fans start dictating the show. Her “little monsters” are absolutely insane with their keyboard pro-Gaga activism.
If posts about #AHSHotel appear here in the future, of course TT can probably expect some traffic, but a it will be a shit show of teen-age crazy, which is a different kind of crazy than what this site is used to.
I don’t think this is where the little monsters will post about it. They have their fan boards. They don’t want to post with us… No worries.

Oh no…all her little “monsters” are going to stalk the sheet out of you heaven FORBID u say a bad word about their mother!
I don’t know who’s worse the Beygency Beehive or the Little Monsters.
The fan names they give themselves these days are so corny. We didn’t need a name when we loved Michael
or Madonna.
Is this why Elsa Mars always referred to her freaks as her “little monsters”? Was this a clue that has been in our faces the whole time?
Oh probably! Apparently there have been clues in each season linking them all together. Little Monsters must be another. Good catch!
Well I’ll be damned.

Brilliant! Little Monsters!! I very rarely tweet but today I tried tweeting you and UF the Gaga video where she unveil herself and I now see I was late! per usual. I thought I could finally be the one to be early out of the gate.
So..did you hear about the new Kurt Sutter series for FX? How bout that?
He will be starring on it along with Katy Sagal and Stephen Moyer from True Blood. A 17th century period piece about an executioners. Katy’s a fortune teller type, Kurt, her silent mate that never shows his face. Many other familiar faces as well.
Ok went way off topic but I was excited. So many shows ending (justified is in final season) I don’t know what I’ll watch. I’ll keep reading here daily, but I will not watch the RHO anywhere.
OMG! How many more minutes til October?!!? Not a Gaga lover or hater but I was surprised and impressed with her Oscar performance so maybe the same will be true for her acting. UF is right though, it could be an Adam Levine-sized role. Doesn’t matter…HOW MANY MORE MINUTES?!?
I think she has a lot of Mr. j phoenix in her. Always 10 steps ahead of everyone else and liking to pull people’s chains…
I think she will fit right in with the American Horror story group, after all, Stevie nicks was fabulous in her role as a witch in Coven…
My first reaction is disappointment because I love AHS and do not want it to become ~The Lady Gaga Show~. Her whole persona is one big act in itself, so it’s hard for me to imagine her being able to step into the role of another character without getting a constant sense of “hey look it’s me, lady gaga, acting on a TV show.. Isn’t this so cool and edgy, little monsters?” But I am remaining hopeful and will not deny the possibility that she could blow us all away. That being said, I do not understand all the excitement about her Oscar performance. She sang a beautiful medley of songs from The Sound of Music and it sounded very nice, but people are praising her like she birthed Christ on the stage.
Did you see that the poor guy who plays Meep died? Hit in the head by a moving car’s rear view mirror, of all things! Hospitalized and didn’t pull through 🙁
I saw that. When Meep died on the show it was so sad and I reminded myself that it was just the character and the actor is fine. He was a preschool teacher. I don’t think he could have seemed any sweeter.
I am so excited! Two of my favorites together! It’s like peanut butter and chocolate except really scary!!!
I’m sorry I want Jessica Lange back. She was my favorite. Gaga may be good, but she will have to ‘grow’ on me like that thing she had over her face. lol
Is Jessica Lange not returning? 🙁 that would be sad.
Supposedly not.

I am not happy. I like GaGa ok. But not as an actress. And actually, after Freakshow, I’m not sure I’ll carry on. As soon as the clown died, it went to hell. I stuck it out and watched to the end. But it was disappointing for me. It had such potential and it got pissed away with angela Bassett hounding the commish.
I was very sad that Meep passed away. On the show and in real life. What a weird way to go. I wonder if he was drunk. Or just retarded.
He was jaywalking & got hit in the head with the mirror of a passing SUV. I don’t know if alcohol was a factor, but he used to be a teacher so I know he is not retarded.
You obviously didn’t go to public school.
Or teach in one. That said the retards usually quickly become administrators or district idiots.

Sigh…. TC gets the last word…..
Gaga isnt afraid to wear weird makeup so she might fit right in. Bates Motel stars Vera Farmiga, Taissas big sister. Last year about now we tbought this season was going to be Circus or Carnival so the title may change a bit. Lots can be done with a hotel, how about out in Los Angeles where tbe girl went missing and was found in the rooftop watertank? Richard Ramirez stayed at that hotel too.
Oh and supposedly the Black Dahlia had drinks at that hotel there before she was murdered. I see a connection to season one…
Lady Gaga, Black Dahlia, scared already!!
Why are we not analyzing the black shit on Gaga? Don’t y’all consider that a big ass clue? Or did you just dismiss it as Gaga.

The black shit on Gaga kind of reminded me of the black demon suit in season one.
This! I actually remember some of us discussing the hotel as a possible storyline. The asian lady in the lift and the footage creeped me out.
Is there a show called Bates Motel? Whawha WHAT! How could you not have checked it out? It is a pretty good show. not on the same level as Hannibal but still good.
Oh and yay GaGa!
ok am trying to figure out how the top hat was a clue – and failing miserably ………please help………..
Check out Garden of Allah hotel. Jessica Lange’s character mentioned it twice in Freakshow. Her cousin worked there.

Another hotel that people have informed about is the Cecil Hotel in LA on Main St. It is haunted hotel, and Elisabeth Short, the famed Black Dahlia victim, was a regular visitor there. It is alleged that the Cecil was her last known location until she was found mutilated a few blocks away.
Do you all remember the story a couple of years ago about the woman that was found dead & drowned in the hotel’s rooftop water tank. It was at the Cecil Hotel.
I hope it’s a hotel big and grand like the building from the show Park Avenue 666
Lots of floors with rooms to be haunted and a creepy basement
Shoot, you beat me to it, TT!
Oops, that was supposed to go below your post. I think it’s the Crescent Hotel, too. Huge, old building in the Ozarks.
How about this for the top hat reference?
The Crescent Hotel has been called “America’s Most Haunted Hotel”, and is said to be haunted by at least eight spirits. These include: a young woman who attended college there in the 1920s or 30s, who is either said to have died by jumping from the roof or being pushed; a nurse who worked in the building when it was a hospital; a man in a hat and tails, believed to be the ghost of Dr. John Freemont Ellis, a frequent visitor to the resort during its glory days in the late 1800s; Michael, an Irish stonemason, who lost his footing while building the hotel and slipped off the roof to his death; Theadora, a cancer victim who came to Norman Baker’s resort for treatment; a ghostly bearded gentleman wearing Victorian clothing and a top hat; Brecky, a boy who often came to the resort in its glory days and died of complications with an appendicitis; and Norman G. Baker himself.
In 2005, the hotel was visited by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, presenters of the television show Ghost Hunters. Wilson recorded a full-body apparition on their thermal imaging camera; the form seemed to be that of a man wearing a hat[5][6] and nodding his head.
You’re welcome.
UF, I sent you a link on twitter. I’m wondering if it’s the Crescent Hotel? Used to be a cancer hospital, there is still an autopsy table in the old morgue in the basement. A ghost wearing a top hat is often seen. Hands reach out from bathroom mirrors, blood splatter on the walls appear and disappear. Scary place.
TY Cat I got it. I love watching those Ghost investigation shows, and have heard of it before.
Ooh, Norman Baker, the guy who posed as a doctor with fake cancer cures, also had experience as a carnival barker. That would tie in with Freak Show, yes?
I like the crescent hotel theory!
Let me guess you were thinking the same thing. 🙂
Someone reminds me of playing Wheel of Fortune with my mother. As the puzzle was being solved and Vanna was turning the lit up letters she would read the answer claiming she knew it all along… 🙂

I guess I have to start watching this now.
So you all know how I had a source for all those Freak Show spoilers that I shared in my AHS precaps? Everyone of his spoilers were accurate.
Well at the end of January he posted this:
“RUMOR: Michelle Pfeiffer on AHS Season 5”
If true, you read it here FIRST!!! xoxoxo UF
