The Mirror reports that "It's no secret Quentin's been eyeing up Gaga for a role in one of his up-and-coming films and now they're both in Cannes, he's keen to show off his movie star credentials."

The 25-year-old singer was in France for the Cannes Film Festival, where she performed "Judas," a single from her forthcoming album  "Born This Way," to a crowd of celebrities that included Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Uma Thurman, Kanye West and Johnny Depp.

"Tarantino knows Gaga's a big fan of Brangelina. When she heard they were both in Cannes, too, she mentioned that she'd love to have them come and watch the show," says the reports, "So Quentin gave his pal Brad a bell to ask the couple to join them."

The 48-year-old "Inglourious Basterds" director is one of the judges for the film festival.
