Lady Gaga is 'disappointed' at the immense flood of negative
reactions to Joker: Folie à Deux, with the singer's team now keen to quickly push out other projects
to help distract from the furor over the film, insiders claim.
Todd Phillips‘ sequel was officially released in theaters on October 4, but despite expectations,
it bombed, raking in just under $40 million at the domestic
box office, and receiving the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history.
Gaga, 38, is reportedly confused at the lack of love for her turn as Harleen Lee Quinzel,
aka Harley Quinn, alongside Joaquin Phoenix,
49, as the Joker - a role that won him the
best actor Oscar in 2019 - in the wake of the standing ovation it
received at the Venice Film Festival last month.
'Gaga is surprised by the response to Joker 2 and is shocked that people don't love it after the response it received from critics before it premiered,' a source exclusively told
DailyMail.com.
'She put so much heart into the movie and has so much respect for the DC comics fan base.'

They added: 'Her team is quietly looking at other projects they can roll out
as they want to move on this from as quickly as possible.'
But despite the lackluster reception from fans, a second source claimed
she is not letting it deter her from returning to the
big screen, with the singer said to be eyeing up a Quentin Tarantino movie.
'She is disappointed that Joker is pretty much a bomb,' they
said.
'She thought that this film could get her an Oscar nomination, especially
since the first film was such a success and Joaquin won an Oscar.
'She would now like to land a role in Quentin Tarantino's next and final film.
Nobody knows what that is going to be, but
she wants to audition.
'She's going to lobby hard to get a meeting with him once a script is presented, it is a bucket list moment for her to be involved.'
Tarantino was set to create The Movie Critic which would have been his tenth and final film, but on April
17, sources told The Hollywood Reporter that the project was canceled.
The famed director is now believed to be working up a new project to mark his final cinematic release.

Joker: Folie à Deux has flopped at the box office, with the psychological musical
thriller also landing the lowest CinemaScore for a comic book movie
Gaga, real name is Stefani Germanotta, is hoping the Joker 2
flop will just be a small blip in her career, after the film received a D rating on CinemaScore — the lowest score for a comic
book movie.
Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier
this year and also received terrible reviews — holds the higher
score of C+.
Joker notably opened with $96.2 million on its theater release in 2019 and eventually took
a little over $1 billion in the global box office.
The first movie - which was also directed by Phillips - had
a budget of between $55 and $70 million. However, the budget more
than doubled to around $200 million for Folie À Deux.
The sequel screened during the Venice International Film Festival last month, where it earned a 12-minute standing ovation, per Deadline.
It had been projected to bring in around $70 million - but
the number drastically dropped amid mixed reviews before release.
Audiences have since shared their opinions on the
sequel, which features multiple musical sequences.
'Joaquin Phoenix don't deserve this,' wrote one on X.
'What happened to the script?'
Another user added: 'Stop making sequels as musicals if the original wasn't a musical.'
An insider told DailyMail.com: 'Gaga is surprised by the response to Joker
2 and is shocked that people don't love it after the response it received from critics before
it premiered'
'Joker downfall really needs to be studied,' shared a third,
along with a monkey staring out a window.
One fan branded it 'bad,' adding:' It was pretentious and dull.
Has the aesthetic of an arthouse film without the substance.
'It also insults the audience's intelligence. the songs were also underwhelming too.
They shouldn't have let this escape to theaters.'
Another said: 'The audience that loved the first movie is not the same audience running
to see musicals. This was a gigantic mistake from step 1.'
Many social media users have also slammed the movie's final scene, which saw Phoenix's Arthur Fleck
brutally stabbed to death by a fellow inmate who could in fact by the real Joker.
But others did jump in in defense of the film, with one
hailing it 'amazing.'
'100% as divisive as people are making it out to be,' they continued.
'I love that the film didn't try to be a traditional sequel,
and fully committed to the storytelling they presented.
It never deviated to be a film full of Easter eggs or any other crowd pleasing aspects.'
Another user said: 'I kinda loved Joker 2. I loved how it was structured as a meta-exploration of the first film's
fandom and the musical elements were a lot of fun.'
Another source explained: 'Gaga thought that this
film could get her an Oscar nomination' (pictured director Todd Phillips, Gaga and Phoenix
in September)
The insider explained: 'She would now like to land a role in Quentin Tarantino's next and final film'
One user claimed the film is 'getting universal hate despite being more interesting and
creative than anything marvel has done in years is expected.'
'Joker 2 is genuinely such a clever movie which carries the character study format of the first movie into the
second in a way which, surprisingly, will floor you by the
end,' declared another. 'I'm astounded reception is this bad
because this is SUCH a clever movie.'
A video of Gaga and Phoenix's awkward reaction to being asked if Folie à Deux was 'everything they expected' went
viral amid the backlash.
For a few seconds, the two stars sat in silence as they both waited for the
other to answer the question.
'Tell them how you feel, Joaquin,' Gaga said to her costar as she held out a fake microphone in front
of him.
'It's so hard to talk about but I think we feel like we achieved what we set
out to do,' he replied. |

Red takes center stage as the hottest color of the holiday season.
All red looks have been trending with the fashion set for some time, but after Rihanna attended
the Fenty Hair launch party in a monochromatic look accessorized
with multiple ruby baubles, red-on-red became cooler than ever.
The 'Stay' hitmaker donned a custom red leather Khaite jacket
and skirt with ruby and diamond jewelry by Sabyasachi, David Webb and Reza.
Monochromatic outfits, particularly in red, exude confidence and sophistication.
With the vibrant color being synonymous with the holiday season, it's a natural choice for parties and festive gatherings.
By also accessorizing with ruby jewelry (à la Rihanna) you can add a touch of luxury to even the simplest of separates.
Unlike your grandmother's precious jewels, today's ruby designs are being
reimagined by edgy jewelers that aren't taking the gem so seriously.

Rubies are often referred to as the 'king of
gemstones' and their vibrant color - caused by the presence of chromium
- is often associated with passion, love, and power.
The name 'ruby' comes from the Latin word 'ruber' which means red.
Rubies are incredibly sought after for their beauty and
durability, they are ranked 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness (qualitative scale that
measures the relative hardness of minerals and other materials by their resistance
to scratching), second to diamonds.
Beyond their sparkle and strength, they have held cultural
significance for centuries.
Throughout history, rubies have been associated with nobility and wealth,
often adorning the crowns of kings and queens.
They are also believed to bring good fortune and protection to their wearer.
According to Melee the Show founders Lauren Wolf and Rebecca Overmann, ruby jewelry is on the rise.
The fine jewelry trade show connects buyers and designers,
with the next shows taking place in New York
(February 1-3) and Tucson (February 5-7).
'From bold gemstones to intricate craftsmanship, our designers
bring rubies to life in ways that inspire and captivate,' said the duo.
Anthony Lent, Fannie Thomas, Heather Guidero, Jake Matluck, Amali, Karin Jacobson, Marian Maurer
and Ciara Bowles are some of the exhibiting designers who work with rubies.
