“Thank you to all of the photographers that, very early on in my career, thought that I was beautiful. Because there were many who didn’t understand my face. And didn’t understand my style. Or what I was trying to say. But there were, just a few of you, who loved it so much.”
–Lady Gaga, thanking the photographers who embraced her unique look at the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards. Aw. [ONTD] Keep reading »
It’s harder than you think to come up with a thoroughly original name these days. Lady Gaga may (or may not) be surprised that she is not the first to bear her moniker. According to an awesome article over at Slate.com, there were actually three Lady Gagas before Stefani Germanotta came along. In the sixth century B.C. a Babylonian woman bearing the name Gaga had a cuneiform tablet sent to her father. In 1817, an Irish woman became Madame de Gaga when she married a frenchman, the Chevalier de Gaga. And in 1929, Punch Magazine created a fictional character named Lady Gaga. In a satire meant to poke fun at flapperdom, Lady Gaga was a socialite party girl who attended themed soirees like the Second Childhood Party, the Wild West Party, and the Circus Party.

2009 was the year of Lady Gaga. Most of us probably assumed that she was rolling in dough when she embarked on her Monster Ball tour, but apparently, she was totally broke. “I actually went bankrupt after the first extension of The Monster Ball,” Gaga said. “And it was funny because I didn’t know! [I asked] ‘Why is everyone saying I have no money? This is ridiculous; I have five No. 1 singles.’ And they said, ‘Well, you’re $3 million in debt.’”
So, what caused her financial black hole? Keep reading »
Fashion students at the Bath Spa University apparently didn’t think that the commonly used fabrics like cotton, silk and linen were cutting it. So they went with a less likely fabric choice: cheese. The students — who also originated repulsive cheese shoes — heat molded and sculpted Pilgrims’ Choice Vintage, Extra Mature and Red Leicester cheeses into wearable dress forms, after being inspired by Lady Gaga’s odd choice of garments. But oh! Can you imagine the melting in the heat? [Daily Mail UK] Keep reading »
For a Lady Gaga magazine cover, the image that fronts the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone is pretty simple—there’s no bubbles, machine gun bras, or excessive diamonte. However, Gaga still looks so … strange. It took me a few minutes of staring to figure out what seems so off here, but it finally hit me: Gaga has bleached her eyebrows to match her skin color. To me, this is an argument for how important eyebrows are in framing your face. But what do you think—are you liking the eyebrowless look? Keep reading »
Lady Gaga‘s much hyped Born This Way drops this week, which has our girl hitting the publicity circuits even harder than usual. In addition to being the musical guest on the season finale of “Saturday Night Live” this past weekend and having a threesome with Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg, yesterday Gaga sat down with David Letterman for a chat. During the interview, Lady Gaga explained her new vehicle of choice, the egg. “It’s a place where I can meditate and experience rebirth,” she said. “So I just get inside of it and close it, and then when I feel that I have been reborn spiritually, I just, whoo, come out.” Keep reading »
Earlier this week, Lady Gaga became editor-in-chief of London’s Metro newspaper for a day, because wearing jeweled nipple tassels is as essential to an editor’s job as being able to wield a red pen and fix a serial comma. Today, I hear that Nicki Minaj became principal for a day at Collins Academy High School in Chicago when the school won the Get MotivatED contest for attendance. Nicki got the honor of giving three students scholarship checks—very cool—but I’m not so sure how she handled any students who might have gotten sent to her office for bad behavior. Maybe rather than detention, she made them wear an extra heavy Marge Simpson wig? [USA Today]
Now, I get these “______ for a day” gigs. Keep reading »
On Monday, Lady Gaga served as the guest editor-in-chief of Metro, the free newspaper in London. The best moment? When she told the staff, “I’m sorry if my business attire is a little different.” Indeed. But maybe she can save newspapers? [Reuters, EW] Keep reading »
