American Horror Story: Hotel, which airs on FX India every Saturday at 11 pm, is now in its 5th season, with each season featuring a new setting and cast of characters. The show has seen critical acclaim worldwide as it continues to push the boundaries of the television medium with incredible special effects, gory violence, and scintillating (albeit scary) sexual encounters.

The show is remarkable for a number of reasons, but particularly for its ability to continue to draw A-list Hollywood talent, season after season. For example, this season includes Kathy Bates (Oscar/Golden Globe winner), Angela Basset (Golden Globe winner, Oscar nominee), Chloe Sevigny (Golden Globe winner), and Dennis O’Hare (True Blood). However, none is more impressive than the actor making her first major commercial debut, LADY GAGA, who is playing The Countess in this season of AHS.

Team MissMalini had the chance to visit Fox Studios recently and interact with the incredibly talented cast as well as tour the opulent set and discover amazing costume designs from Lou Eyrich.

We learned a lot about Lady Gaga over the course of the day – here are some of the highlights!

  • She threw a big party before the cast started shooting, so she could better get to know her colleagues. She apparently threw an over-the-top bash where her pool was dyed red (to resemble BLOOD) and there was enough food/drink for hundreds of guests, even though there were only about 20.
  • For Angela Basset’s birthday, Gaga bought her a cake with quite an interesting cake topper… let’s just say it included both Gaga and Angela in quite a compromising position!
  • All her cast mates called her fearless and amazingly well-prepared. Did you know, she spent 10 years studying method acting at the Lee Strasberg Academy in NY?
  • Only Lady Gaga’s costume budget for the season was $130,000! This is on top of all the free clothes designers have been throwing at the production to have Gaga wear their clothes. Some of the designers featured on the show: McQueen, Valentino, Fendi, Tom Ford, YSL, Prada, and more.

So, if you love Gaga and need a little scare in your life, make sure to check out American Horror Story: Hotel on FX India!
