We’re still a few weeks away from the October 7 premiere of American Horror Story: Hotel, but we’ve already learned quite a bit about Lady Gaga’s character on the show.

Obviously, some important details are being kept under wraps, but thus far, we’ve learned that Gaga is playing the Countess – manager of the fictional Hotel Cortez in Los Angeles.

She enjoys spending her vast fortune on art and fashion (not unlike Gaga herself), and we’re sure she’s all wrapped up in some sort of occult nastiness.

Oh, she’s also way into really freaky sex stuff (also not unlike Gaga):

"She’s the only actress I think I’ve worked with who wanted to do more explicit stuff than was written,” said creator Ryan Murphy when discussing an orgy scene starring Gaga. “You write a foursome for her and you expect a lot of questions. She never did that.

"She showed up and she was wearing diamond pasties, a Band-Aid on her hoo-ha, heels, and a black veil that Alexander McQueen made for her on the day before his death. Then the crew gasped in delight and we were off!”

Of course, she was. What else would Lady Gaga wear on her first day at a new job? She could get hired at Office Max, and she’d show up in the exact same get-up.

Murphy added that during the scene (which co-starred Matt Bomer, who plays Gaga’s lover Donovan) Gaga "writhed around on the bed like a famished animal” to the delight of the entire crew.

Sounds like we’re in for quite a season.
