Lady Gaga's meat dress link to the Beatles

Lady Gaga’s controversial choice to wear a costume apparently constructed of meat at the MTV Video Music Awards is not the first time that such images have been used to promote musicians.

As long ago as 1966, the Beatles released the album Yesterday and Today which was first printed with a controversial cover featuring the band dressed as butchers and draped in joints of meat and decapitated baby dolls.

The image, although apparently not originally intended as an album cover, was said to reflect the group’s feelings on the Vietnam War.

Advance copies created such a backlash that the record label’s management ordered the “meat” versions destroyed, however, many survived and are now collectors’ items.

In 1983, the punk group the Undertones released a singles compilation titled All Wrapped Up with a female model covered in meat – chiefly rashers of fatty bacon held to her with what looks like Clingfilm.

A few years later, in 1988, the rock group B.A.L.L., fronted by US musician Don Fleming, released a pastiche of the short-lived Beatles cover with their album Bird.

However, the use of meat to promote music has remained controversial.

Ingrid Newkirk, the president of animal rights campaign group PETA, said: “Lady Gaga’s job is to do outlandish things, and this certainly qualifies as outlandish because meat is something you want to avoid putting on or in your body.

“No matter how beautifully it is presented, flesh from a tortured animal is flesh from a tortured animal.”

A spokeswoman for the Vegetarian Society said: “It just seems totally unnecessary.

“Enough animals die for food and they should not be killed for stunts like this.”

Queen of Twitter Lady GaGa

Lady GaGa faithful Twitter followers she rejoicing and giving thanks, Lady GaGa showed her love for all of those responsible for making her the top user on the popular social networking site.
Gaga told, "This is Lady Gaga, queen of Twitter. I wanted to thank all of my beautiful little monsters for following me. Thank you for beginning my reign as Twitter queen. May you always have soft cuticles while tweeting. May you never have carpal tunnel. ... I vow to always tweet and tweet again."

The beauty queen looking ever, Gaga toted a wand in her hand as she added, "Just remember that I love you and love yourself. I love you Twitter."

Eyeing movie career to Lady Gaga

Pop star Lady Gaga is now reportedly eyeing an acting career by starring in her own film.

The singer 24 year old is hoping that the project will be a mix between Moonwalker and Dreamgirls and is already in talks with 'X-Men' director Bryan Singer to make the movie.

A source said, "All the time Gaga is a actual creative genius and is thinking about new possibilities. About a movie she's very excited, but she wants to do it right. She wants to work in the business with the best people".

The source added, "Gaga wants to emulate what Michael Jackson did during the '80s. You can already look with her music videos. Every one of them is a mini event. So it's only logical she moves that on to the big screen. Gaga likes to be in control. She is behind everything on her own movie. It could take a long time".

Lady Gaga Crowd-Surfs at Lollapalooza

Lady Gaga never disappoints when it comes to shocking the media or her fans. She did just that Friday at this year's Lollapalooza in Chicago when she crowd-surfed not once, but twice during the performance of the band Semi Precious Weapons.

Lady Gaga was barely clothed wearing a fishnet ensemble with gold star pasties.Gaga's bodyguard was not amazed as he tried to fish her out of the hands and arms of the screaming fans trying to touch her and take video and pictures.

Gaga's not the only performer who has taken the plunge to crowd-surf into a sea of adoring fans. She has close connections with this next pop diva.

Lady Gaga settle into Madonna's country lifestyle

Lady Gaga is house hunting in the Hamptons, says the N.Y. Daily News.
I find this oddly disturbing. Buying a place in the Hamptons is about the most boringly haute bourgeois thing a newly rich person can do. Shouldn't Lady Gaga prefer, you know, living over a sweatshop in Hong Kong, or in a Fortress of Solitude in the High Arctic, or in Tehran? Someplace as preposterous as her costumes?
The Hamptons! Next she'll be having kids and gardening! Not that there's anything wrong with that, I guess, but does she realize how she has just punctured her own image balloon?
Also, Madonna has a house in the Hamptons, so the Gagster will be accused of copycatting Madge yet again.
Still, it does sound like a nice house, the one she's been looking at in Sagaponack: $26 million U.S. worth of newly built "English country style" with eight bedrooms, eight baths, a "recreational pavilion," a wine room, a media room, sauna, pool, sunken tennis court, and a "restored 18th century barn."
Pink, the singer, is "seriously sore" but otherwise OK after an accident onstage in Nurnberg, Germany the other night.
Something went wrong when a harness was supposed to lift her up over the crowd, and instead it dragged her into a steel barricade.
Ever the trouper, she Tweeted from the ambulance:
"To all my nurnberg fans -- I am so-so so sorry to end the show that way. I am embarrassed and very sorry. I'm in ambulance now but I will b fine.
"didn't get clipped in2 harness correctly, drug me offstage, fell in2 barricade. Getting xrays. I hope it at least looked cool!!!"
Later she updated: "OK all my lovers out there nothings broken, no fluid in the lungs, just seriously sore. "
You fool, you've missed your chance to buy Roy Rogers's horse!
Remember my item about Trigger, stuffed, going up for auction? Well, now it's happened, and the winning bidder is Nebraska TV executive Steve Campione. For about $300,000 U.S. he snapped up Trigger and the TV cowboy's late stuffed dog Bullet as well.
I was having a nice little fantasy about Steve getting home and breaking the news to his wife, but it turns out these priceless cultural artifacts are not for his living room. His company wants to start a Roy Rogers museum.
Lifestyles of the rich and stoned: Nick Cage, told David Letterman the other night about the time long ago when his cat got into the fridge where the actor's "magic" mushrooms were stored: " ... The cat ate them voraciously, so I thought what the heck, I better do it with him. I remember lying on my bed for hours and Lewis was on the desk across my bed and we just stared at each other for hours not moving, just staring at each other, and I had no doubt that he was my brother."
He says he's now been drug free for years.

Lady Gaga Wants $26M Home

Lady Gaga eccentric singer is reportedly keen to buy a $26 million eight bedroom New York home.
Lady Gaga is planning to buy a $26 million home.
The 'Alejandro' singer has reportedly taken an interest in a 7.5 acre eight bathroom English Country style estate in the Hamptons area of New York, close to a property owned by her idol Madonna.
According to the New York Times newspaper, the property, which was built this year also boasts a restored 18th century barn alongside the 9,353 square foot, shingle style main residence, a carriage house and a recreational pavilion.
The house boasts extensive recreational facilities, including a sauna, pool, gym and sunken tennis court, as well as lavish media and wine rooms.
A spokesperson for the singer dismissed the claims, while the actual estate broker for the property refused to comment.
In February, Madonna splashed out on a farm and the agricultural rights to 24 acres of land surrounding the property, which is very close to the property Gaga has been looking at.
As well as the New York estate, it was revealed earlier this week that the 'Poker Face' hitmaker is splashing out $25,000 a month to rent a house.
The 'Paparazzi' singer is renting a $5 million mansion in the affluent Bel Air neighbourhood of Los Angeles.
According to reports, the multi bedroom property comes with one acre of grounds, a huge swimming pool and boasts stunning views across Hollywood and the Pacific Ocean.
But with Gaga who currently rekindled her relationship with ex boyfriend Luc Carl on tour until April 2011, the house will be sitting empty for some time.

Fans attack for Lady Gaga Plays John Lennon’s Piano

May be Lady Gaga should rethink calling fans little monsters her haters are taking the title a little too seriously. Gaga has stirred up some trouble on Twitter once again as fans attack her for playing John Lennon’s piano.

John’s son Sean Lennon posted a picture (via MTV News) of Lady Gaga on his Twitter playing the white piano with the caption, “With gaga at mom’s house, she’s belting on the white piano.”

OK! GALLERY: LADY GAGA GETS HER GROOVE ON AT THE GYM
“Pianos are meant to be played,” he Tweeted. “Why is everyone so uptight? What should we do, lock it away in a dusty room? So judgmental.”
“Firstly, he gave that piano to my mother for her birthday, it is hers, secondly, he was not uptight the way you seem to be,” Sean Tweeted back to a fan.

Event organiser Perry Farrell told MTV: "We spent like $100,000 to give her a giant stage. We spent close to $150,000 to house the production she's gonna do. And I say yeah, let's do it."
The 24-year-old 'Alejandro' singer is known for her expensive stage shows and spent £52,000 on a bathtub for her performance of 'Bad Romance' on UK TV show `The X Factor' last year.

Other acts performing at the Lollapalooza festival - which runs from August 6-8 - include The Strokes, Soundgarden, Green Day and Arcade Fire.
The event runs from the 6-8th August in Chicago.

Lady Gaga applies for fashion internship

Lady Gaga and milliner Philip Treacy have proved a fashion match made in heaven - feeding her outlandish signature style, he has created some of her most memorable headpieces, from a head-topping telephone to a giant lighting bolt - and now the diva wants to learn from the designer.
This week it has been confirmed that the Lady has applied to Treacy to become his intern.
A rep for the hat extraordinaire confirmed to People: 'While nothing is set in stone, it is true that she has requested an internship with Philip.'
Pictured here together at the Brits - for which Treacy created her gravity-defying white headpiece -the pair have collaborated on pieces for some of Gaga's most prestigious performances, including the Grammys.

Let's hope Gaga makes time in her busy schedule to slip into intern mode - we'd love to see her popping out to pick up coffees in one of her signature scene-stealing get-ups!

Lady GaGa Time Magazine World Most Influential Artist

Lady Gaga Time Magazine World Most Influential Artist – Lady Gaga aGa named world’s most influential artist by Time MagazineIt seems that Time Magazine has declared Lady Gaga as the world’s most influential artist and for good reason. While her music has been extremely controversial and some believe that she has copied the style of many popular artists and just put her own touch to the music, she has still evolved into a rather successful figure in the music industry.
The pop oddball Lady Gaga was reported by MTV to win the Most Influential Person award but the news hasn’t been confirmed by Time Magazine as of yet. Before you come to the conclusion that this makes Lady Gaga worthy in the music industry you should consider the other people who are to be featured in the magazine. The countries leader Barrack Obama, Steve Jobs from Apple, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Taylor Swift and even Robert Pattinson.

Lady Gaga’s friend known as Cyndi Lauper had some comments about her that you might find rather interesting. She gave her comments about the singer to Time: “An artist’s job is to take a snapshot — be it through words or sound, lyrics or song — that explains what it’s like to be alive at that time. Lady Gaga’s art captures the period we’re in right now… Gaga’s lyrics are incredibly literary. When ‘Bad Romance’ starts, the music grabs your ear immediately. Then she opens with the line ‘I want your ugly/ I want your disease,’ and all of a sudden you’re listening. Most of the stuff on the radio is not very clever, but Gaga presents her ideas in a sophisticated manner. She has an incredible pop sensibility.” Ultimately, whether you hate Gaga, you truly adore her or you don’t have a preference on her it seems that she is going to be sticking around for quite some time to come.

Now, Lady Gaga's ex-bassist claims she owes him money

New York (ANI): After being sued by her former boyfriend and producer, ‘Poker Face’ singer Lady Gaga has now been accused by her ex-bassist, and ‘Disco Heaven’ co-writer of not paying him royalties. Tommy Kafafian claims that he has not gotten a single check for his work with the multiplatinum-selling Grammy winner, who he worked with in 2006.


Buzz up!“I don’t wanna sue anybody. It’s really not my style,” the New York Post quoted him as telling the Newark Star-Ledger. Kafafian, who claims to have helped Gaga hone her sound, said he plans to focus on writing his own songs, rather than make her pay what she owes him.


“I’m just gonna keep moving forward until Lady Gaga can’t walk down the street without seeing my face or hearing my music,” he added.

Flowers Hit Lady Gaga

Usually when a fan pays for a ticket to go and see a star they like in concert, they really like them and just want to see them up close and perform. Well Lady Gaga got a little more than a screaming crowd when she was on tour in Atlanta, Georgia and I bet she didn’t expect anything like that!

While performing her hit single Poker Face and busting some of her fabulous dance moves a bunch of flowers came hurdling towards her. Yes you can bet she was surprised!

It seems that at the last second she saw the bunch coming at her head and was able to avoid them hitting her straight in the face, instead they knocked her hat slightly.

But don’t worry you Gaga fans as she already had the next step planned and was able to stable her hat in position again before it fell off and looked silly; she even got back into her dance routine so quickly that you wouldn’t even had thought that little incident happened just seconds before.

The News of the World got an inside take from somebody who witnessed the scene and they quoted,

“The place was rocking out and some idiot thought it would be a good idea to throw flowers on stage.”

“Whether they meant to hit her I don’t know, but it was a pretty good shot.”

To find out what else this inside source had to say you can just go online to the News of the World website and you’ll find more info there. They’ve even got a little clip that shows you exactly where and when the bunch flowers hit Lady Gaga on the head; plus you’ll get to see her in yet another extravagant outfit – it’s red, it’s a bikini and it reveals quite a lot of skin so boys… don’t blush too much!

Lady Gaga has been quoted saying that she will never be seen out in a ‘normal’ outfit and in the latest turn of events, she even had to be help by air stewards on a flight after the bandage wrap contraption that she was wearing on the plane started to cut off her circulation. Do you think she will ever be captured wearing joggers or trac bottoms? I’m not quite so sure.

Lady Gaga cancels gig after passing out backstage

Lady Gaga has cancelled a gig in Indiana due to ill health, after being treated backstage by paramedics after she passed out.

The singer was at the Purdue University venue last night (January 14) when she was taken ill with an irregular heart rate, she revealed on her Twitter page, Twitter.com/ladygaga.
The star added that she was treated by paramedics for exhaustion and dehydration, before the decision was made to pull the show. It has been rescheduled for January 26.
"I've been crying for hours, I feel like I let my fans down tonight," she wrote. "An hour before the show, I was feeling dizzy and having trouble breathing. Paramedics came to take care of me, and told me my heart rate was irregular – a result of exhaustion and dehydration.

"Can't apologise enough for how sorry I am. I could hear my fans cheering from my dressing room, I begged everyone to let me go onstage. My stage has complicated mechanical elements, everyone was concerned I'd be in danger during the two-hour show, since I had passed out earlier.

"I am so devastated. I have performed with the flu, a cold… I would never cancel a show just based on discomfort. I hope you can forgive me. I love my little monsters more than anything, you are everything to me. I will make up the performance on Jan 26."
