I feel like I’ve been writing about the rumors of a Zoolander sequel for just about the entire time I’ve been writing for Movie Buzzers (I first posted about it two years ago!) and every few months Ben Stiller talks about doing it in an interview, but it’s never anything concrete. So take today’s report in the Sun with a grain of salt that pop musician Lady Gaga is being offered £3 million (almost $5 million) to star in Zoolander 2 as the love interest Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson‘s dimwitted male models Derek Zoolander and Hansel fight over and that filming is expected to “start early next year.”
Other possibilities for the role are Kate Moss, Kate Upton, Heidi Klum and Adriana Lima, though I think that the producers would prefer Gaga because her vast fanbase and fame for her rather odd fashion sense. This wouldn’t be the first big screen role for Gaga — she made a cameo in Men in Black 3 and will appear as La Chameleón in Machete Kills.
Ben Stiller actually made an appearance in character as Zoolander last Saturday at Comedy Central’s Night of Too Many Stars: America Comes Together for Autism Programs in New York promoting his 2013 calendar according to The Insider, which follows an appearance he made as the character on Saturday Night Live when he hosted the show in October 2011. Stiller is obviously still interested in portraying the character and a Zoolander sequel has a ton of potential, so there’s definitely a good chance of all this coming together.
