Lady GaGa's Always Been a Freak!
In Celebs by Meieli Sawyer Detoni
Lady GaGa doesn't just dress up and act out to get attention, she says: she's just always been freaky. Miss Sometimes No-Pants went on the Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about her getups and fans, attempting to clear up some assumptions a lot of us have had about the bold, trendy, and "creative" singer.
Admitting that she had wanted to be like Boy George in high school, Lady Gaga said that it's all about the fans--and she's not faking.
"I didn't fit in in high school, and I felt like a freak. So I like to create this atmosphere for my fans where they feel like they have a freak in me to hang out with, and they don't feel alone," she said.
"I want my fans to know that it's OK," she continued. "Sometimes in life you don't always feel like a winner, but that doesn't mean you're not a winner."
It's not just the fans that get Lady GaGa going, but her own family. She said that she wrote Speechless for her dad to implore him to get surgery (it worked), and now he's "doing better."
"I was on the road, and I was having a lot of trouble missing my parents and wanting to be with my dad," she said.
At least Lady GaGa's telling it like it is! Do you believe that she loves her "Little Monster" (fans) this much, or is it a marketing trick to get their money? I still can't believe how plain-jane she was just a few years back, but it's not wrong to let that freak flag fly!
Lady Gaga just need to wear her pants
Lady Gaga'a pants trick seems to be working By Tony Parsons 28/11/2009
Raised eyebrows at the idea of Lady Gaga entertaining Her Majesty The Queen at this year’s Royal Variety Performance. But a lot of rubbish is written about Lady Gaga.
She doesn’t wear outrageous clothes. She just wears her pants. That’s it.
Singing pleasant pop-dance music while wearing your pants isn’t much of a foundation for a career. But it seems to be working for Lady Gaga.
"Speechless" Performance by Lady Gaga
The last time Lady GaGa appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show, her career was just starting to take off with the massive success of her first single Just Dance and the then newly release Poker Face. Now, a year later, GaGa’s a certified pop megastar with numerous number one singles under her belt and her sophomore album, The Fame Monster, in stores.
Lady GaGa returned to The Ellen DeGeneres show and performed the first single Bad Romance and the moving album track Speechless.
During her brief interview, Ellen praised her for actually singing live. A gracious GaGa said she’s surprised when people are amazed that she sings live. “Aren’t we supposed to sing? It’s part of the gig isn’t it,” she joked.

Lady Gaga to perform in front of Queen of England
Lady GaGa has been booked to sing in front of the Queen in December. The dance electronica singer becomes the latest act confirmed to perform at 2009 Royal Variety Performance, joining previously-announced performers that include Bette Midler, Michael Buble, Miley Cyrus, Alexandra Burke and Mika.
"I really don't know if the Queen or Prince Philip have listened to Lady Gaga, or are familiar with her," a Buckingham Palace spokesman said of the singer who is known for her dramatic stage performances. "But the Royal Variety Performance is a well-known charitable event which they support, and they meet all the stars involved." It is unclear what song she will deliver during her performance.
2009 Royal Variety Performance will take place at Blackpool's Opera House on December 7 with comedian Peter Kay serving as the host. The annual show is held in aid of the Entertainment Artistes' Benevolent Fund, whose patron is the Queen, and will see a performance from "Britain's Got Talent" winner Diversity, who nailed the gig as part of their prize for winning the TV talent show.
Lady GaGa, who shot to stardom with her debut album "The Fame", made headlines in September for her performance at 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Performing one of her hit singles "Paparazzi", the 23-year-old was seen pretending to stab herself to death on stage before ending the routine hanging from the ceiling. She is awaiting for the U.S. release of her upcoming mini album "The Fame Monster" on November 23.
Lady Gaga to honour fans with affordable album
London Pop star Lady Gaga has decided to release an affordable version of her upcoming mini-album, keeping in mind her recession-hit fans.
The 23-year-old singer's
debut disc 'The Fame' hit the top of the charts and she wants to show her gratitude to her loyal fan following by ensuring they can afford her eight-song follow-up, as reported.
Fans will have a choice between three different versions of 'The Fame Monster', including two deluxe discs with bonus tracks and a standard version with all of her new songs, priced at USD 9.99.
"We may have an economy, but music has no economy. I insist on honouring my fans with an affordable new album, an album that is as loyal to them, as they have been to me," said Gaga.
"In the midst of my creative journey composing The Fame Monster, there came an exciting revelation that this was in fact my sophomore album. It is a complete conceptual and musical
body of work that can stand on its own two feet," she added.
The 'Fame Monster' is set to hit stores in the US later this month.
Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” Video: WTF?
Here, Gaga exists in some futuristic world where women are placed in tight latex suits designed after Max’s wolf costume from Where the Wild Things Are, and are then forced to become Neutral Mask-wearing dance patrons for men with gold-plated chins, all (somehow) resulting in not only one of the most bizarre Gaga get-ups to date (what I shall affectionately call the “gold-studded crab pantaloon”), but also in the delightful reappearance of one of Gaga’s most notable fashion accessories: the “firework bra” (which she wears next to the charred corpse of a certain lover of indeterminable evilness [we think]).
All of these elaborate visuals, however, manage to distract us from a very simple truth about the lead single from The Fame Monster: it’s kind of ... bland. Although Gaga wisely re-teams with RedOne—the brilliant producer who engineered her #1 hits “Just Dance” and “Poker Face”—the sexy electro sheen that has become his trademark just doesn’t feel as powerful this time out, the chorus feeling like somewhat of a tired retread of the verses, the whole thing just lacking that extra spark that made her previous hits so guilty-pleasure cool. Instead, the song is best defined by its video, featuring slow-motion diamond drops, druggy supermodels, and one very turbulent use of fire as a way to get revenge on a certain man with a gold-plated chin.
So what does it all mean? Why does she bless herself at 3:18? Why is the dance choreography only partially in sync? Is there a “Thriller” homage mixed into those dance moves or is this just another excuse for Lady Gaga to wear the most weirdass outfits ever designed by mankind? It’s hard to say, but for the time being, why don’t you sit back, relax, and enjoy yet another Gaga-fueled visual assault that she does only too, too well.

Gaga in new campaign for…a children’s brand
Whoever thought Lady Gaga hanging a Hello Pussy purse in close proximity to her vagina was the perfect image to promote the Hello Kitty brand is an absolute genius. Heck, after seeing these pictures don’t you want to buy a Hello Kitty t-shirt and give it to your 6-year old daughter as a gift? That’s assuming of course that you are grooming your daughter for the next installment of “Princesses and their tiaras heading to the brothel”. Then it would make the perfect gift…especially if you accompany it with Lady Gaga’s 3-D glasses to be conveniently found in her $100 album box-set…that way your innocent children can view Lady Gaga’s Hello Kitty crotch tattoo in 3-D and dream of becoming just like her…now if you’ll excuse us, we’ll go fry our sperms in the microwave so we don’t risk reproducing doomed spawns.
