A Star Is Born is returning to theaters with 12 new minutes of Gaga and Bradley Cooper sexual tension

You could do a lot with 12 minutes, like explore the life of Gaga’s Ally–who isn’t much of an actual person and seemingly only exists because/when Jackson is around. In those 12 glorious minutes, we might even learn Ally’s real last name, which is never once mentioned in the original theatrical version. Instead, when she finally gets a surname in the final moments of the film, she’s introduced as “Ally Maine”–Jackson’s last name, not her own. Maybe, just maybe, those 12 minutes are an extended sequence set in the drag club where Jackson “discovers” Ally, and we’ll be blessed with even more Shangela. Or perhaps it’s a montage of Jackson peeing himself at various awards shows. We can only dream.

But let’s be real: It’s probably just 12 more minutes of Gaga and B. Coops making eyes at each other over a piano–footage that will eventually be used against Cooper in divorce court.
