Liza Minnelli says mother Judy Garland would have “laughed” at Gaga’s “A Star Is Born”..

What a cunt. Enough with her and her hoarder of a mother.

Both Judy and Barbra were already "legends" by the time they did "Star" and Janet had won an Oscar already.

Gaga was a newcomer in her version, I think it's horribly ironic that if I Google "A Star is Born," Gaga's film is first and the other three don't even appear on my first page of Google results, that's shows you what today's audience thinks.

GAGA's "A Star Is Born"? GAGA's???

Liza doesn’t even know what planet she’s on. Who cares what she thinks? It’s astonishing that she’s still alive.

Renée is a great actress

Judy's still laughing at Liza's film career. Piker.

Liza is always polite and professional. Love her.

I agree with you, R7. Liza's always tried to be decent, kind, polite and professional. She had a hell of a career and delivered some really great entertainment and has given millions of people (including me) moments of joy . She's had her problems and missteps, but she's done her best to handle them. She hasn't vilified her parents or anyone else she's known, either, and she's known many people she could have sold out for profit. She has always struck me as a sweet woman.

[quote] Judy's still laughing at Liza's film career. Piker.

R7 Liza is an Oscar winner and she had another nomination prior to her win. She did well for herself despite her rather short-lived film career.

Judy won one and was nominated twice. Her pathetic drunk crotch dropping won only one and was nominated once more - the next year. NO STAMINA. Judy was nominated in 1962, a full 22 years after she won.

Her daughter she became a pill popping, gay marrying booze bag. And that was her professional life. Let’s not even discuss her personal life.

Judy must have had a better sense of humour than I have. "Gaga's" movie made me cry with pain; excruciating pain.

[quote]Her daughter she became a pill popping, gay marrying booze bag.

So she became her mother.

ALL of the "A Star is Born" films were pretty bad.

I know Judy's gets a lot of love here, but I think it is awful. She is very hammy and far too old/frumpy to play the role.

Streisand's is not even worth talking about. Just silly.

And I couldn't finish Gaga's.

Different eras. Different worlds, literally. Judy was of her time. Gaga is of hers. "It's a New World." (reference to the '54 version). Impossible to compare.

Poor Liza. Booze, pills, and has a thing about marrying f@gs, ya know. She reminds me so much of that Neely O'Hara.

Why does Liza act like her mother somehow owned the part? The first one to play the part was Janet Gaynor, who was alive when Judy played the part, and also when Streisand played the part. And Gaynor was someone who actually once won the Academy Award for Best Actress, something that Judy never did.

I can't believe that has-been bitch tried to photobomb my selfie at the Oscars. Who the fuck does she think she is?

Not really such a terrible diss. Liza did say that Judy would have watched it until the end, cheering it on.

R13 I just tried watching Gaga's an also stopped halfway through. Didn't expect it to be that bad. I didn't like any of the versions tbh.

Judy wouldn’t have laughed at the box office receipts!

And why wouldn’t she have laughed? Gaga nails the comedy from the outset. I think the NYP is being devious.

Marlena called Liza "The Last Great Vaudevillian. If you saw her at the Winter Garden or Palace, you'd agree.

Liza is pathetic. She avoided Garland as much as could the last 5 years of her life. Liza always leaves that part out when she's hallucinating about "mama."

Renée is a Great Actress ?

Lizsha sounds like she was filling a diaper as she was interviewed

I’m just more shocked people aren’t voting for Barbara’s version.

Liza is legendary entertainer. Not many have even come close to her talent. Liza is one of those once-in-a-lifetime performers. She’s the best and always charming, fun, polite and professional.

Poor R26...

r26 is Liza.

No one read the article I guess -- she says that Judy would have gotten into it and said it was great.

[quote]“And then she would have gotten into it,” Minnelli told “ET.” “I can hear her saying, ‘OK, let’s go! Great to the end!'” she said, still laughing.

I don't know why someone would call her a cunt and tell her to die from pills when they didn't even read what was said. Aren't we all fucking adults here who know that headlines are clickbait and exaggerations?

[quote]I know Judy's gets a lot of love here, but I think it is awful. She is very hammy and far too old/frumpy to play the role.

In some respects, she's not too old because she's specifically portrayed as someone who has been around for a while, singing in clubs and touring, and who knew how to handle a drunken actor because it was surely not the first time she'd had to. "The Man Who Got Away" is not a song a young ingenue would sing.

A 31-year-old singer probably wouldn't become a star in the 1950s unless they'd had some major chart-topping hits prior to that, though.

Streisand was 33, Gaga 32, Gaynor 30 and Constance Bennett 27 when they filmed their respective versions of the story. Judy being 31 isn't an anomaly, it's the norm.

Gaga is not a good actress and she's not pretty and vulnerable enough to be a leading lady. She has a harsh appearance that doesn't illicit sympathy from viewers. You don't become a movie star if you're not sympathetic.

True, r31....

Judy "Pills" would've added a thing or two in this thread...

"Ha ha ha, I'll say..."!

Make that:

"Ha ha ha, I'll say...!"

[quote]Streisand was 33, Gaga 32, Gaynor 30 and Constance Bennett 27 when they filmed their respective versions of the story. Judy being 31 isn't an anomaly, it's the norm.

Except Judy was every Datalounger's Worst Nightmare: She looked at least 10 years OLDER than her actual age.

Who cares what this old bitch thinks. She is not her mother, and Gaga gave an amazing performance. Liza has been a bit coo-coo for years now. I mean she consistently marries gay men, whom she thinks are straight, among other absurdities. Sit the fuck down. You are not your mother and your are not the arbiter of taste.

r2, Gaga's version made a shit load of money, and I believe more critically acclaimed than all the previous versions. Also people should separate this latest version from the previous iterations, in how they humanized the male lead in ways they hadn't done previously. I've never seen the older films, but I think the cooper character was portrayed as more villainous, while in this film its the male and female leads share equal roles as protagonist.

I agree with her. Gaga is annoying and overrated.

[quote]Her daughter she became a pill popping, gay marrying booze bag. And that was her professional life. Let’s not even discuss her personal life.

At least I didn't die on a toilet, you dumb bitch. I popped pills, enjoyed life AND lived to tell about it.

[quote] At least I didn't die on a toilet, you dumb bitch.

Wait.

We'll see.

If I die on a toilet, itsh gonna be on SHTAGE!!!!!

Liza is a JOKE. Her talent was always difficult to explain or defend. It's long gone, whatever it was.

Judy would have laughed harder at Barbra Streisand getting a massive ovation singing "Woman In The Moon" in front of John Norman Howard's fans.

That would be like Barry Manilow getting wild applause at a Springsteen concert.

R12 Right! Total copycat. NO ORIGINALITY!

R43 That ... jewfro. That's what made me laugh most about Barbra in the '76 version. The whole things looks ready for scene-for-scene remake starring Lea Michele.

[quote]Judy won one and was nominated twice.

Judy didn't win an Oscar. The Oscar she received was an honorary, miniature Oscar as outstanding juvenile performer in 1940 for "The Wizard of Oz" and "Babes in Arms." She lost both competitive Oscar nominations.

R46 No question, and that's a dead category. But, when you go to 1940 in the Academy Awards website - there's Judy, with her award!

There she is, and THERE SHE'LL STAY! She's still one ahead of Liza with a Drinkie.

[quote]She lost both competitive Oscar nominations.

She put on a German accent and 50 pounds and still didn't win.

Let me spell it out for you, R47, you poor, deluded maniac:

Judy: one miniature honorary award, two competitive nominations, no wins.

Liza:: two competitive nominations (both for Best Actress), one win. Please note in picture below that she is holding a FULL-SIZE statuette.

@RealDonaldTrump@r10.

[quote] Except Judy was every Datalounger's Worst Nightmare: She looked at least 10 years OLDER than her actual age.

In some parts of the movie she looks fine. In other parts she looks puffier.

When I first saw Muriel's Wedding and saw the mother I was like, "Puffy Esther Blodgett!"

Dear fan boy R49

Liza's entire career has either been: - Fucking guys who'd give her a job - Imitating her mother - Imitating guys who gave her a job

Why you'd take her seriously after that hysterical "marriage" to David Gest is baffling. She made an ass of herself. She's been doing the same, stupid crap since she was in her teens. Who was that? Oh yeah - Peter Allen. Gay. After that, naturally, she marries her mother's co-star's son from the Wizard of Oz. He disappears quietly. She marries Mark Gero next.

She's the type who never owns up to her own failings, just blames everyone else. Hell, she even blamed her sister Lorna for daring to have "the perfect life" while she was a total wreck after a couple of miscarriages. Well, that does happen when you've got a cocaine spoon up your nose and you're popping pills like a pez dispenser.

Unlike her mother, who was an actual original, Liza is an imitation. She's a cartoon cutout. That's why she's mocked. She's not a star. She'd have nothing if it weren't for her mother. She's Vicki Lawrence to Carol Burnett.

r52, Oh Shit. I haven't viewed a read to filth like that, in some time on DL. Bravo. LOL.

[quote] She's Vicki Lawrence to Carol Burnett.

YOU DON'T KNOW ME LIKE THAT, BITCH!

[quote]She's Vicki Lawrence to Carol Burnett.

Excuse me, bitch. I had a Number 1 Hit song on Billboard Hot 100. What did Burnett have?

R55 She has the residuals from the Carol Burnett Show, doesn't she? You didn't get any if I remember the lawsuit. You got "Mama's Family", which was totally derivative of your character from ... The Carol Burnett Show. See how this works?

Bless your heart.

You also gave us "The Cool Kids". Now, off you go.

Judy was a hoarder?

[quote][R26] is Liza.

R26 is not Liza. Liza can’t speak or write coherently.

[quote]Streisand was 33, Gaga 32, Gaynor 30 and Constance Bennett 27 when they filmed their respective versions of the story. Judy being 31 isn't an anomaly, it's the norm.

Yes but Judy looked 71.

R57 Judy rescued all her friends from their addictions!

R60 that kills me

'carn'

Meanwhile, the daughter ...

It's a shame that some women choose to needlessly tear down other women. You'd think that Liza would appreciate Gaga's hard work and talent and not need to be nasty. Oh well, I'm sure that Gaga only has nice things to say about both Judy and Liza.

Will Liza die on the shitter?

We should be totally fair to Liza, as much as I beat on her.

She would have laughed,' Minelli, 73, recently confessed to Entertainment Tonight.

Revelation: Liza Minelli confessed that her mom, Judy Garland, would have laughed initially about a 2018 remake of A Star Is Born Honest confession: Liza Minelli said her mother, Judy Garland, 'would have laughed' about the 2018 remake of A Star Is Born with Lady Gaga, but First reaction: Liza Minelli says her mom, Judy Garland, might not have been sold on the 2018 A Star Is Born remake with Lady Gaga, but would have come around and 'gotten into it'

'And then she would have gotten into it,' she added, seemingly more accepting of the film's casting.

'I can hear her saying, ok, let's go! Great to the end!'

You can see her praising Gaga and the film, even though the shock value of the headline makes it sound pretty nasty.

Agreed R65, I don't hear so much shade.

That’s because it’s not slurred r66.

The quote is not a dig- rather more of expressing that her Mom would be amazed at a sequel, implying that includes the Streisand sequel as well. Not laughing at Gaga.

Why didn't Liza have children? She was married a half dozen times.

I could have starred opposite Gaga, but nobody even thought to ask.

Lizsha would have been fabuloush as the new Shtar! She i so on the ball.......

She is so on the ball.......

Naturally Liza is upset. She was told she was too ugly to make any more movies and she never got the chance at Gypsy, Chicago or the ASIB shot for shot remake. Then this MIESKEIT Gaga assaults the worlds' senses and has a massive hit movie, wins an Oscar and walks away with the gay leading man!! That is Liza's fucking LIFE!

Bradley is not gay, he was Victor Garber's protege, nothing more nothing less. Oh and Irina Fayk told me he is all man. So there to all you queens falsely accusing MS Cooper of being a gay.

r73 wins. ROFL. BEST COMMENT ON THS THREAD.

R69 She had various miscarriages

[quote]Why didn't Liza have children? She was married a half dozen times.

Did you really think she could give up the pills and the booze for nine moths??

Her fucking mother didn't and she had THREE kids.

[quote]Unlike her mother, who was an actual original, Liza is an imitation. She's a cartoon cutout. That's why she's mocked. She's not a star. She'd have nothing if it weren't for her mother. She's Vicki Lawrence to Carol Burnett.

Oh please, when I was growing up in the 80s, it was all about Liza. You didn't even hear anything about Judy. And even today, why would anyone talk about Judy? Only bitter dinosaur queens who were born when Judy still alive. And a large portion of the entertainment industry consists of nepotism. There are lots of 2nd generation and 3rd generation entertainers from famous families.

[quote]And even today, why would anyone talk about Judy?

Who would talk about Liza?? She’s 95 years old, and hasn’t been relevant since the Seventies.

Say what, bitch?

The Liza hate is so unnecessary. Liza is certainly an "entertainer", and this bugs people for some reason. It's difficult to explain an "in one" performer to those who derive most of their culture and music from their phone.

R77. The cocaine was really the better deal than her 4 husbands. She could count on the cocaine.

Oh, she's entertaining all right. To those more delusional than she.

Where’s the hilarious video of Liza in a cab singing to TMZ?

"And even today, why would anyone talk about Judy? Only bitter dinosaur queens who were born when Judy still alive."

I'm the quintessential bitter, dinosaur queen but my only interest in Judy Garland is the train wreck quality of her life, her booze/pill addiction and the hilarious fact the she died sitting on the can in a drug induced stupor.

Gaga with a G, not Jaja with a J

Gurls, please.

Judy's signature song was "Over The Rainbow" and in her later years, when she did live concerts, she made the audience sing it. Can you imagine showing up to her concert and her just sticking the microphone out towards the audience and saying, "You sing for me."

Liza NEVER made anyone sing "Liza With A Z, Not Lisa With An S"

r88 well everyone knows the lyrics to 'Over The Rainbow'. Can't say the same for 'Liza With a Z'.

R89 Speak for yourself, Missy
