LOS ANGELES (AP) " Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper are starring in a remake of "A Star is Born." Gaga will compose and perform new songs for the musical drama. Cooper is best known for starring roles in such films as "American Hustle," ''Aloha" and "The Hangover." The original "A Star Is Born" was released in 1937 and featured Janet Gaynor as a budding actress entangled in a relationship with an established Hollywood star played by Fredric March. "A Star is Born" was remade as a musical drama in 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason and again in 1976 with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.
