Simon Cowell on Betty Boop

Betty's official twitter page replied "@SimonCowell said I am the biggest of them all and I take that as a compliment! Xoxo #SimonLovesBetty." 

Lady Gaga as Betty Boop

A Wikileak rumored that Lady Gaga was once tied to do the voice for Betty Boop, Gaga was also in discussions to contribute music to  the film, however the film is going to another studio and Lady Gaga will not be involved In an email sent by Sony Pictures Entertainment and Columbia Pictures vice president of production Lauren Abrahams on October 10th, 2014, Abrahams writes to then Sony Pictures co-chairwoman Amy Pascal and Motion Pictures Group President Doug Belgrad that "I wanted to make sure Syco/Animal Logic’s Betty Boop project is on your radar". Lady Gaga is attached to voice Betty Boop & do some of the music."Abrahams then mentions that "Neither of us thinks we should do it, and we’ve also run the brand by marketing who aren’t inclined either," and questions the appeal of the film because "it feels weirdly sexualized yet childlike (esp with Gaga) and not sure really who it’s for in a big mainstream way. " Belgrad replies that "It sounds kind of weird to me to be honest. I don't mind if we don't chase it." Abrahams then says she agrees, and mentions that "MGM is going to buy it. "Betty Boop was potentially going to be made by Fleischer Studios, who own the rights to Betty Boop, and produced by Simon Cowell's Syco Entertainment and Animal Logic Entertainment.

But another CGI film feature listed entitled Peter Rabbit was most recently revealed by Animal Logic, suggesting that the Betty Boop film is still in production. Betty will also make her debut in a new TV series set for 2018.
