View Full Version : GaGa threatens legal action against breast milk ice cream.

Lady Gaga has threatened the makers of a controversial breast milk ice cream with legal action.
The 'Born This Way' singer is apparently unhappy that the Icecreamists parlour in London's Covent Garden has called the frozen treat 'Baby Gaga'.
She wants the shop to stop selling the ice cream - despite the fact Westminster Council pulled it from the shelves over health fears last week.
Icecreamists owner Matt O'Connor told The Guardian that a letter from Lady Gaga's lawyers argued that his outlet has "ridden the coattails of her reputation".
"A global superstar has taken umbrage at what she describes as a 'nausea-inducing' product," he said.
"How can she possibly claim ownership of the word 'gaga', which since the dawn of time has been one of the first discernable phrases to come from a baby's mouth?"
O'Connor went on to make reference to Lady Gaga's previous food-based controversy, when she infamously wore a meat dress at last year's MTV Video Music Awards.
"This from a woman with a penchant for wearing rotting cows' flesh. At least our customers are still alive when they contribute to our 'art'," he said.
love the owner's response :laugh:
I don't really get the fuss about this ice cream - I personally wouldn't try it, but if it's not a health risk what's the problem?

The Queen song "Radio Ga Ga" inspired her stage name, "Lady Gaga" She commented: "I adored Freddie Mercury and Queen had a hit called 'Radio Gaga'. That's why I love the name [...] Freddie was unique – one of the biggest personalities in the whole of pop music."
she steals from everybody else then thinks she owns a babys first words...

I think to be fair the name "Baby GaGa" is a spoof of her stage name rather than the Queen song.
But still, I see nothing to get upset about. As the manager said, she's done her fair share of grotesque 'art' herself.

well Im sure there is a tie in to her current fame. But she still has a nerve trying to own the name.
I think there's a really cold, greedy business woman lurking behind that persona.

From London Local ITV1 News
A Small Ice Cream shop
had to remove there Baby Ga Ga Ice Cream
made from human breast milk.
The council wants to check its safe.
And Lady Ga Ga - Lawyers Demand they get that name changed
as it is to close to her Trade Mark Name.
I think the owner of that IceCream Shop has done this to get on Worldwide TV
he is saying we are just 1 shop against the Superstar.
I think he is a Fraud
He knows this will get more customers.
well Im sure there is a tie in to her current fame. But she still has a nerve trying to own the name.

She has the same sort of dead eye look as a shark, to me...
Meh, I'd understand if it was another global artist whose name was being spoofed for something like that, but it's the fact she makes all these ridiculous 'statements' e.g. wearing a dress made of meat and then objects to something like this?
I reckon she was fed from the bottle and she's just a breast milk hater. :dance:

if he's a fraud then what does that make her?
he's just a tiny ice cream shop. She's just made heaps of money stealing somebody elses song. Did she get a letter from Madonna's lawyers? No.
so its ok for her to shamelessly use other influences to make millions but God help anybody who takes a little influence from her. Even an ice cream man.

Baby Ga Ga Ice Cream
yes Smart
before now only tourists went there.
Sure Lady Ga Ga
is a Artist
but she paid for the Position she is in
by working real hard.
Baby Ga Ga Ice Cream name will be removed after her Lawyers
finish with him.
He has still got to get on the BBC Local London News.

Sort of agree with this, but even if Madonna was pissed off, what can she do? You can hardly prove she's ripping her off, she can just argue back that she was inspired by Madonna, and that's all there is to say really. It's just about impossible to be original in the true sense of the word, rather, artists nowadays can just be different to their peers.

You keep believing that :joker:
The fact of the matter is, the only reason Madonna fans are getting pissed is because she's pretty irrelevant in the pop world today. No doubt she's been inspirational but that was in the past, people just can't accept someone could take over as the biggest female popstar in the world.

personally Im way past caring about Madonnas chart positions. She's proved herself(and her durability) ten times over already. No artist can stay at the very top forever...thats just an absolute fact. I just enjoy her phenomenal back catalogue of hits.
at her age and with children Im sure Madonna doesnt stress too much about it either these days. She has other priorities and less ambition.
Gaga has 25 years to go before she has been making music as long as Madonna. Do you seriously think Gaga will be relevant in 2036? Probably not even 2016 at the rates she's plummeting in credibility right now.
and she can only wish her flat ass looks this good in 25 years time..

Well I don't think Smithy is talking about chart positions. He's pointed out that Madonna has begun to fade out of the musical spotlight. Sure she'll keep making music but imo she reached her peak long ago. If Hard Candy is anything to go by then it shows that Madge is only gonna go further downhill.
And yes I believe Gaga will be relevant in 30 years time. She was the first person to get a billion views on YouTube and she is or is one of the most downloaded artists of all time - so that alone will keep her remembered.
Also BTW is going to be some of her best work ever. With songs like Edge of Glory (a massive power ballad with club beats) and Hair (a RedOne produced inspirational song) not to mention a host of other songs, I think she's gonna be here for a long while.
Btw, I enjoy Madonna's work as well if you're thinking I'm a hater. :tongue:

In 2008 when Hard Candy was released she was going through a bad time with her divorce so her heart wasn't full on with her album.
I can imagine if YouTube and Music Downloads were avalible in the 80's Madonna would have the same amount as Gaga has now - That is just a cultral achivement that is due to media over time.
Lady Gaga DOES NOT need dance tracks for her next album, In Madonna's few years of stardom she released songs in Pop, Dance , Rock (Burnin' Up, Gambler) stand alone ballads (Crazy For You) which I have let so see Gaga try. Power ballads are just 'current' and are the SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING. Working with RedOne is no different to any other artist at the moment - NOT UNIQUE AT ALL!

I'd say it's more because you really, really hammer on the GaGa thing. There's nothing wrong with that and it's not against the rules but every strong stance is going to provoke an equal reaction and honestly if someone asked me to describe you as a poster I don't know what else I would be able to say except 'Lady GaGa'.
You can't bone everything she does and even quote members with a positive smiley when they mention her as well as changing your avatar and sig every six seconds to match her ~whacky new look without some sort of equal, opposite reaction.
It's natural, innit.
I have my obsessions too but I'm smart enough to realize that other people don't give a **** so I sense that it's annoying to constantly flaunt it to a nauseating degree.

you're the one who lumps me and Harry together just because we're Madonna fans. Anyways, YOU are definitely the one that gets wound up! All your swearing and putting us(or me) on ignore when you can't deal with the truth.
but yeah I am egotistical. Can't lie.
Is that Madonna in your avatar? LOL
ps; no, she can't be beaten because no female from now on will ever reach the sales figures her earlier albums achieved. No female will ever be as outspoken about sex, religion and politics. And no female will ever have her cultural impact either. She is just the ultimate alround female superstar. ******face can only ever do what Madonna has already done. But not as well, obviously.
