She was given a special part in the musical, directed by Michael McGowan, as a woman obsessed with hockey. Kind of typecasting since Nelly was born in raised in Canada.

McGowan has some words to say about Nelly, "Nelly is an incredible entertainer and, after speaking with her, I realized that she fully relished embracing her inner hockey fanatic."

Olivia Newton-John will also star in the film. Sometime this month, they will begin filming in Toronto, Canada.

Among other interesting rumors is that he’s hoping to convince pop star Lady Gaga to become a judge on the talent show.

An insider told The Sun, “Simon thinks Lady GaGa is great and really likes her energy. Conversations have been happening between Cowell’s US team and her people about what kind of role she could have on the show.”

Interesting! We’ll just have to wait and see what happens. If Gaga did sign on, I’m sure the show would get some pretty high ratings.

John also spoke about having Taylor Swift on his album, Battle Studies, where they collaborated for the song, “Half of My Heart.” He had some pretty funny things to say about that!

John also discussed something that he’s notorious for: dating. He said that right now he’s a little bit freaked out about it all, so he plans on just letting time pass and give himself a bit of a break before going after the ladies. I wonder if he’ll be able to stick to that!

Barbara also asked a pretty shocking question regarding her relationships with women. Gaga seemed a little thrown off by that! She said that her father had a pretty hard time adjusting to Gaga as a performer and that he actually thought she was mentally unstable. Yikes!

Barbara asked what the main misconception was about her. She replied by saying that the main misconception is that people think that she’s attention-seeking.

Gaga sported a pretty interesting costume, complete with devil horns and some…bat wings? And on top of it, it looks as though she’s standing in a large bathtub. Weird! Overall, it was just a really interesting performance. Check it out below:
