Lady Gaga makes acting debut in "Machete Kills"

(Editor's note: Following story contains language that some readers may find offensive)

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Pop star Lady Gaga will make her film acting debut in the second installment of the " Machete" film franchise in a casting choice alongside the likes of Mel Gibson andCharlie Sheen, Gaga and the film's director Robert Rodriguez said on Twitter.

Rodriguez announced the casting on Thursday on Twitter, saying, "I just finished working with @LadyGaga on @MacheteKills, she kicked SO MUCH ASS! Holy Smokes. Blown away!" and posted a link to a poster featuring the singer.

Gaga, 26, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta and whose concerts and music videos are littered with various flamboyant theatrics, confirmed on Twitter, "Yes it's true, I will be making my debut as an actress in the amazing MACHETE KILLS BY @RODRIGUEZ IM SO EXCITED!!! AH! Filming was insane."

Little is known about the role, which is likely to be a cameo or smaller film appearance. The character poster featured the pop star dressed in a scantily clad outfit and a wolf wrap with smoke pouring out of a gun alongside the caption, "Lady Gaga as La Chameleon."

Rodriguez, who posted a tweet in June he had also cast Charlie Sheen playing a fictional U.S. president in the film, directed the first "Machete" film that was released in 2010 with the "Machete" character derived from his " Spy Kids" 2001 film.

"Machete Kills" sees the character of Machete battling his way through Mexico in order to take down an arms dealer, said film website imdb.com. Rodriguez has previously directed " Sin City" and "Desperado."

Let's be real here, even though she's supposed to be playing a character, odds are she'll just be portraying herself...which is basically her copying early Madonna lol ... only, she'll be answering to a different name besides Gaga.

Hell, in that pic for the poster it already looks like she's doing her best take on Madonna in "Dick Tracy".

I figured out the other day why kids now are so crazy about Gaga. It's because most of them weren't around for Madonna's heyday. This is all mind-blowing shit to them cuz they don't know any different.

I wasnt around for Madonna's heyday but I still love them both I think people dont really get Lady Gaga as an artist she can simply sit at a piano and just play it in a live show and make it still amazing to watch & importantly listen to, I love them both but I dont see why theres such a big deal between rivalry of the two. Madonna was groundbreaking and still is to a degree it doesnt mean she's the only one who can be eventually younger artists are going to influence different generations its a shame people of my age dont appriciate performers like Madonna who really changed things and inspired many of todays musicians.

the feeling U get when U fall in love not with a girl or a boy but with the heavens above

Not really a fan of the music rather than the stuff causes she's taken on with Harvard.

Alls I got to say is that as someone who went to Tisch, even if the role is camp an crappy she'd better bring it.

that explains why she was seen @ The IVY Hotel in MPLS, riding the service elevator, with not much on and hold a Machete.

People working thought she was strange, but i am now assuming she was just preparing for the role.

The whole singers trying to be actors to try to be taken seriously in other areas... is tired. They need to just get REAL actresses to play these roles.
