Lady Gaga becomes The Countess, a vampire owner of the Cortez Hotel in tomorrow’s season premiere of “American Horror Story: Hotel” (review) the fifth season in the anthology series.
Even before the first episode could air, creator Ryan Murphy made a public plea begging Gaga to return in FX’s sixth season, which would debut next October.

Built in 1930 by the rich and charming but deeply psychotic James March (Evan Peters), the beautiful art-deco Cortez Hotel is, in actuality, a labyrinthine structure built to hide March’s murderous activities.
Gaga’s Countess was described by EW as a glamorous socialite who attends art openings and fashion shows and maintains her looks not from a steady diet of kale but from imbibing human blood.
The Countess is also insatiable when it comes to love and sex, which sets up a macabre love triangle between her, the similarly blood-hungry Donovan (Matt Bomer) and the newly turned male model Tristan (Finn Wittrock).
Lady Gaga is so brilliant in AHS Season 5 that yesterday I officially asked her to join Season 6. Say yes @ladygaga!
