After a successful chemistry test for Warner Bros, the studio has green lit a remake of 'A Star Is Born' with Bradley Cooper directing and starring opposite Grammy-winning recording star Lady GaGa, who will also write and perform new music for the film.

The studio tried, but was unsuccessful in courting Beyonce for the role of a singer whose star rises as quickly as her troubled lover's star is on the decline, and quickly moved on to GaGa at the suggestion of Cooper. Now, deals have been closed by Warner Bros president of Creative Development and WW Production Greg Silverman with production set to start in early 2017.

"For those of us lucky enough to watch him work as an actor and producer, it has been clear that Bradley would make this transition to director," Silverman said. "We are honored that he is doing it, here, at his home—Warner Bros.—and with Lady Gaga as a collaborator and co-star. The world is in for a treat as these great artists craft an all new vision of A Star is Born." Exciting!!!

With her last two collaborations with David O. Russell resulting in two Oscar nominations and one win, Jennifer Lawrence is looking to grab her third nomination with the filmmaker (fourth overall) when 'Joy' is released in theaters on Christmas Day.

The film, which co-stars Robert DeNiro, Bradley Cooper and Edgar Ramirez, is the wild story of a family across four generations centered on the girl who becomes the woman who founds a business dynasty and becomes a matriarch in her own right. Watch the first trailer beneath:

21x-Grammy Award winner Kanye West and 3x-Academy Award nominee Bradley Cooper are among the stars featured on TIME's list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World and grace two of the five covers for the esteemed publication.

In the issue, the rapper dishes on his larger than life ego, saying: "Everytime I say something that’s extremely truthful out loud, it literally breaks the Internet. I don’t care about having a legacy, I don’t care about being remembered. The most important thing to me is while I’m here, what can we do for each other to make life easier, make life doper for our kids as they grow?"

Cooper, on the other hand, was just honored to make the cut. "It's a real big thing to be included in anything that has to do with Time magazine let alone the 100 list!"

Ballet dancer Misty Copeland, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Univision news anchor Jorge Ramos also land covers, while West's wife Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, Lee Daniels and President Obama are also among the 100 people on the list.

Academy Award-winner Jennifer Lawrence and Academy Award-nominee Bradley Cooper reunite for their third film together in the serially-delayed 'Serena', an adaptation of Ron Rash's 1930s-set novel that is set to debut during the London Film Festival in October.

In the film, which will arrive in U.K. theaters on October 24th, the acting duo play newlyweds who move to North Carolina to create a timber empire, but Serena (Lawrence) soon realizes she cannot bear children and sets out to destroy the illegitimate son of George (Cooper).

The film is still lacking a distribution deal in the United States, but peep the trailer beneath:

Looking like complete and utter perfection in a vintage-inspire Versace gown, Academy Award-winner Halle Berry was snapped arriving on the red carpet at the 85th Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles, California on Sunday, February 24th.

The actress, who will serve as a presenter during the telecast, was joined on the red carpet by a bevy of Hollywood elite including Jennifer Lawrence, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman and more. View arrivals beneath:

The wait is finally over. People magazine has named 36-year-old star Bradley Cooper as the Sexiest Man Alive 2011, causing a debate among some fans.

While there is no denying that Bradley, who is armed with heavenly baby blues and a killer smile, is easy on the eyes, his momentum was at its peak last year, so the honor would have seemed more fitting from the weekly publication then.

This year, however, has been all about Ryan Gosling, who we recently named the Most Beautiful Man of 2011. Not only did Ryan transform his slightly boyish physique into leading man form (see: 'Crazy, Stupid, Love'), but he headlined three films ('Drive' & 'Ides of March') in 2011 and looked damn good doing it.

In People's defense, the 31-year old was included on the list, along with Jason Momoa, Idris Elba, Tim McGraw, Chris Evans, Liam Hemsworth and more.
