Lady Gaga pens new song, Dead Dance, for Wednesday season two
Lady Gaga has penned the new song, Dead Dance, for season two of Wednesday and will drop a theatrical music video to boot. The Abracadabra hitmaker is confirmed to guest star as Rosaline Rotwood, an iconic Nevermore Academy teacher whose mysterious past entwines with Jenna Ortega's Wednesday Addams. In true Gaga fashion, she's not showing up empty-handed. The singer-songwriter has recorded a brand-new track, slated to drop alongside her appearance, according to Variety. Co-written with her Mayhem collaborators Andrew Watt and Cirkut, the single is expected to arrive next month with a suitably twisted video release. Fuelling speculation around Gaga's role, she and Wednesday director Tim Burton were recently spotted filming on Mexico's infamous Island of the Dolls — a creepy locale littered with disfigured dolls and ghostly lore. Burton praised Gaga: 'She's such an artist… working with her is endlessly inspiring.' Gaga was notably absent from the London premiere last week due to her ongoing MAYHEM BALL tour. The Netflix series returns in two parts, premiering August 6 and September 3. Gaga told Entertainment Weekly magazine of her role earlier this year: 'I don't want to give away anything about being part of the show. "I want to keep it extra secret - but I love Jenna and I really had an amazing time!' Her cameo in season two comes after the viral dance from the show set to Gaga's 2011 hit Bloody Mary.

Lady Gaga's private message to Sharon Osbourne after Ozzy's death
Lady Gaga reached out privately to Sharon Osbourne, following Ozzy Osbourne's death. The 39-year-old star was a huge fan of the late Black Sabbath rocker – who passed away last month at the age of 76 – and she sent a huge bouquet of flowers to his grieving widow to share her sympathies. A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'The flowers must have cost hundreds but Gaga wanted to reach out. 'Gaga has always been a huge fan of Ozzy and the Osbournes – before she was famous she even used to strip to Black Sabbath's Black Sabbath. "She once told Ozzy – he found it hilarious.' Following Ozzy's death, Gaga previously paid tribute with a cover of his solo hit Crazy Train during her MAYHEM BALL show in San Francisco. Meanwhile, this comes over 10 years after Gaga and Sharon became embroiled in an ugly public feud, following a row between Gaga and Sharon and Ozzy's daughter Kelly. Gaga's fans reacted with fury after Kelly made comments about her weight on the E! show fashion police. And, Gaga took to her own website to share an open letter to Kelly. She wrote: 'I have empathy for you Kelly, but I feel it culturally important to note that you have chosen a less compassionate path. Your work on E! with the Fashion Police is rooted in criticism, judgement, and rating people's beauty against one another. 'It used to make me truly sad when I would hear people talk about your weight when you were younger, as I was bullied too. To see you blossoming into a beautiful slender woman who makes fun of others for a living is astounding. Why not help others? Why not defend others who are bullied for their image and share your story?' A furious Sharon defended her daughter, telling The Sun: 'By not repudiating her fans' bullying, she was condoning it. That's why I called her a hypocrite. "I was so disappointed because I had always been a huge fan. I have been to three of her shows and she's undeniably a very talented woman. "But you can't bang on about being anti-bullying and then refuse to tell your fans to stop haranguing other young women with nasty threats." However, during a performance on the UK X Factor, Lady Gaga and Sharon appeared to resolve their differences, with Gaga giving Sharon a hug and a birthday cake for Kelly.
