GAGA'S MAYHEM Inside Lady Gaga's epic Mayhem Ball Tour leaving fans speechless
We can also reveal she sings the mysterious line: 'When you killed me inside, that's when I came alive.'
Dead Dance includes TikTok-ready choreography, which Netflix bosses hope will create the viral success series one had.
Clips of Wednesday dancing went viral on social media after fans put Gaga's Born This Way album track Bloody Mary over it.
Bizarre told last November how Gaga had quietly flown to Ireland to film scenes for the show, alongside Jenna Ortega and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
She will play the part of Rosaline Rotwood, billed as 'a legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday'.
The second series of the show, based on The Addams Family, returns in two parts, with the first four episodes out today and the second, featuring Gaga, on September 3.
Music video for Lady Gaga's Abracadabra
While all the cast have been sworn to secrecy about her role, we can reveal she shot her scenes in a private cemetery belonging to the Slazenger family in Ireland.
Her scenes also contain two huge plot twists that will no doubt send fans into meltdown online.
Teasing Gaga's role, Jenna said: 'We are all pinching ourselves she joined. She's incredible in the show.'
Catherine added: 'When we knew she was in the vicinity and she had landed close by, it lifted our spirits.
"What a powerhouse of an artist.'
Bizarre also understands Gaga has secretly shot a music video with director Tim Burton.
The Poker Face singer is believed to have filmed the clip under cover of darkness at spooky Island of the Dolls, in Xochimilco, Mexico.
A source said: 'Gaga and Tim secretly jetted in and out of Mexico earlier this month.

'"Security was ridiculously tight, with even the mayor's office and police helping keep everything under wraps.'
Last month, Gaga kicked off The Mayhem Ball in Las Vegas — her biggest tour in a decade.
All dates sold out in minutes and The UK leg kicks off next month.
In even more good news for Gaga, the MTV VMA nominations were announced last night and she got the most with 12 nods, including Artist of the Year.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Wednesday is back for a second season on Netflix. The new episodes arrive after almost three years. But one familiar face will be missing from the season. A lot has changed since Wednesday Addams first stepped through the doors of Nevermore Academy. Viewers were invited along on that journey with her back in November 2022 and it proved an instant hit for Netflix. The previous Principal has died, she solved the mystery behind a murderous rampage and half the school burned down. Not to mention the fact that nearly three real world years have passed between semesters. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad One of the biggest storylines of the first season was the love triangle between Wednesday, Xavier and Tyer but that doesn't look like it will continue in the second batch of episodes. Recap all the key information to remember from series one here. Why is Xavier Thorpe not returning for Wednesday season 2? Percy Hynes White is not returning as Xavier in Wednesday season two | Netflix Cast your minds back to the end of season one, which you might have watched quite a long time ago. One of the final moments saw Xavier and Wednesday appear to start to patch up their friendship as he gifted her her very first mobile phone. So it certainly seemed as if the writers were originally planning for him to return for future episodes. However, NME reports that actor Percy Hynes White will not be back and the character has been written out of the show. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It comes, according to the website, after the actor faced allegations of sexual misconduct in 2023 in a now-deleted post on social media. On his own Instagram account, White strenuously denied the allegations and said the 'rumours were false'. White faced no formal complaints related to the allegations, according to NME. However, he later confirmed he would not be returning, Elle Magazine reports, saying: 'I had so much fun working on this show. I can't wait to watch season 2 :) Much love.'' Wednesday star Jenna Ortega herself has spoken about Xavier's absence from the second series. She described it as 'a weird redirect', adding: 'But we're introducing so many different characters that I think it kind of will get lost.'

Outlander star unrecognisable in 'dark' mystery thriller returning after three-year wait
The star has a brand-new project worlds away from Outlander One Outlander cast member has been completely transformed in their new role in a mystery thriller. The star, whose Outlander character caused much tension and drama at Fraser's Ridge and beyond, will be part of an ensemble cast in the forthcoming drama. Welsh star Mark Lewis Jones, who played Tom Christie in season six of Starz's epic historical series, will be starring as Rhys Owen in the drama Y Golau: Dŵr, also known as The Light in the Hall: Still Waters in the English-language version. The show makes its triumphant return three years after its debut The Light in the Hall back in 2022. Season two of the acclaimed Welsh anthology series follows young journalist Caryl Huws (played by Siân Reese-Williams), who becomes entangled in complex web of personal betrayal, familial secrets, and dark mysteries after she starts digging into a controversial redevelopment plan to expand a local reservoir. As Caryl investigates further, long-forgotten tensions are reignited and doubt is thrown onto the imprisonment of Rhys for the murder of his cousin during protests against the expansion 30 years ago. Along with Jones and Reese-Williams, The Light in the Hall: Still Waters/Y Golau: Dŵr also features Steeltown Murders star Nia Roberts as as Eve Davies, and Robert Glenister from The Night Caller and Sherwood as Robert Davies. Further cast members include, Netflix's White Lines actor Tom Rhys Harries as Hari Breckon, The Red King's Maeve Courtier-Lilley who reprises her role as Mabli Davies Owen, Dal Y Mellt actor Wyn Bowen Harries as Bryn Owen, Mali Tudno Jones from Bariau as Megan Breckon, Broadchurch actor Matthew Gravelle as Gareth Breckon, and 35 Awr star Gillian Elisa as Eunice. The new series will again be set in the fictional Welsh village of Llanemlyn, with creator Regina Moriarty working alongside Siân Naiomi, Anwen Huws, Catherine Linstrum, and Angharad Elen on the scripts. The Light in the Hall: Still Waters/Y Golau: Dŵr will first be airing in its native Wales in the Welsh language version with subtitles this September. The programme airs at a later date in the rest of the UK on Channel 4. Season one received positive reviews from the critics with audience members sharing their praise on IMDb. One person hailed it as 'mesmerising' and commented: 'Wow this was good. Joanna Scanlon and Alexander Roach both starred in the brilliant No Offence and are both excellent here too.' While a 10/10 review said: 'Once you start watching it you can't stop, you're almost holding your breath! Actors are absolutely amazing, spot on!' The user added: 'You will not waste your time watching this, and I always love when they film absolutely beautiful, and I don't think I've ever seen a show with any one of these individual actors in it that I didn't like, they never let you down, their faces are what draw you in, because you know they're great actors but they're acting keeps you watching!' Another top-tier review read: 'In a world where popular crime dramas fall into the same predictable formula, it's refreshing to see something brave enough to do things a bit differently. 'The early episodes start at a slow pace, but there's a real effort to develop the central characters before it changes gear and becomes a highly engaging (and unpredictable) thriller. 'The decision to set the show in the dramatic Welsh countryside was a triumph and a 6 episode British crime drama with very little police involvement is both refreshing and bold.' Outlander season 8 will air on Starz and MGM+ via Prime Video in early 2026

Pamela Anderson addressed comparisons between her cooking series, Pamela's Cooking with Love, an d Meghan Markle 's With Love, Meghan. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Anderson was asked if she felt Markle's show was a 'rip-off' of hers. Anderson responded by saying 'One' on a scale of one to 10, adding that she 'didn't invent cooking shows' and Markle is 'just doing her thing'. Meghan Markle's eight-part series received harsh criticism from reviewers, with The Independent calling it 'queasy and exhausting' and The Guardian describing it as 'gormless lifestyle filler'. Despite a second season of Markle's show being due, reports indicate that Meghan and Prince Harry's five-year deal with Netflix will not be renewed when it expires in September.
