Was disappointed with her AI performance tbh. Obviously pre-recorded. And apparently she isn't very happy with the way it was edited down for the show.

Not one of my fave songs though.

[bbfan1991]

Jack White channelled Lady Gaga when writing his new album.

The musician is about to release his second album with band The Dead Weather, which comprises him, Alison Mosshart, Dean Fertita and Jack Lawrence. The record is called Sea of Cowards, and is set to hit stores less than 12 months after the group’s debut Horehound.

Jack says they had so many good ideas they couldn’t wait any longer to get back into the studio. He felt inspired by his bandmates, and also by other artists in the music industry. “Yeah, Lady Gaga. I was thinking of the type of song a contemporary musician would write so I started thinking about her,” he laughed. “I started thinking of how she would write the music to this song and got quite into being Lady Gaga in an odd way.”

To me that doesnt look like GaGa :S

[bbfan1991]

Outlandish pop star Lady Gaga left lingerie-maker Rigby and Peller with its knickers in a twist after she was loaned prototypes for its latest collection and they were lost in transit.

The upmarket firm claims it sent seven sets of the handmade Autumn/Winter 2010 collection to New York for the Paparazzi singer to wear in a new music video, but only three were returned in time for the catwalk show, which was unveiled on Thursday.

The three sets of underwear which made it safely across the Atlantic were brought back in luggage, but the rest of the collection was reported "Awol" by couriers, according to Rigby and Peller.

A spokeswoman for the lingerie company said: "Obviously we were delighted that Lady Gaga wanted to use our new pieces in her next video but we did stress we needed them back in plenty of time for our press show.

"They are all hand-made and unique designs that are simply priceless and are not available anywhere in the world so we are really disappointed not to get them back in time for our major showcase of the year.

"The last we heard the underwear was still Awol and we are not sure when we will see them again. If we don't get them back then it could hold up the whole production of our AW10 collection as they are the prototypes."

The collection included skin-coloured basques with black contouring and matching high-waisted knickers, as well as sheer black lace bras and pants.

As well as celebrity clients including Sophie Dahl, Leona Lewis, Stella McCartney, Isabella Rossellini and Gwyneth Paltrow, Rigby and Peller holds the royal warrant to provide underwear to the Queen.

A spokesman for Lady Gaga said: "We have nothing to say on the matter."

Lady GaGa has addressed rumours that her aggressive touring schedule is wearing her out on stage.

According to PopEater, the 'Poker Face' singer announced more North American tour dates for 2011.

While performing on Monday in Sweden, GaGa said: "You know when people say, 'Lady GaGa's really tired, she needs to take a break', I just think about all those times I sang in bars when nobody was singing my lyrics. I'll sleep when I'm dead, okay?"

Later, she added: "I know that I work really hard and I run myself into the ground, and I also know that alcohol will kill me one day. But I would rather not die on vacation, I'd rather die on stage with all my fans."

Well.....um....this doesn't really put my mind at ease :(

[Ninastar]

Well.....um....this doesn't really put my mind at ease :(

Omg! thats made me feel even more scared for her tbh.

[Smithy]

#secret Gaga's third album may not be released in 2010 contrary to previous reports. Plans are currently tentative.

:shocked:
:bawling:

I'd be be Gutted if it was pushed back now, considering its pretty much complete

[xDramatick]

I don't believe that GaGa insider, they post bull****.
They said that 'Blueberry Kisses' would never leak, & that GaGa has made sure of that.
They said GaGa didn't get any credit for 'Paparazzi' when she's clearly got a writing credit alongside Rob Fusari & we know she storyboarded the music video.

Their posts are always really vague too.

[Smithy]

But imagine that although a lot are wrong, quite a lot are right too :S

Im hoping its not true obviously though

[M X]

Lovin the Alejandro pic!

[M X]

To be honest, I don't see how Gaga will find time to release a new album this year, she has no spare time at all to promote or do work for the album. She's recording in almost every city she goes too now, aswell as on her tour bus and in hotels.

[Ross]

I want a new Gaga album in 2012. She needs a break and if she's touring in 2011 still, I want it to be just as good.

[M X]

Hmm. Three years? End of 2011 please.

[MrGaryy]

I can't see her releasing a new album until the Monster Ball tour is wrapped. I mean it would be ridiculous to still be on the tour from one's last record whilst releasing a whole new album, plus she'd then have to perform the new stuff with would totally rework the tour ect. I wouldn't be surprise if she added new dates to buy her some more time.


.....which btw, I managed to get to tickets for!! Going in October, looking forward to it!

[M X]

I wouldn't be surprise if she added new dates to buy her some more time.

That's what I thought. But she has said that she is almost finished the record.

[Ross]

It seems so long ago since I seen her. March 3rd.

[Smithy]

Taking a break today, in bed with mommy having glass of wine waiting for sis to get home. Just us italian girls running the house tonight

[KKBL]

She said on GaGaDaily that she's already written the lead single so tbh I can't see her waiting until next year. Even with the tour and everything, she'll push herself and the label to ensure its out ASAP.

[Smithy]

^
She said in Tokyo that the album was almost finished too, So i'm still hoping for a late 2010 release

[M X]

I got The Remix album today! :D

[bbfan1991]

Ooh like the first pic released from the Alejandro video:), how long till it is released here?.

[Smithy]

:shrug: :(

There isnt even a countdown on her site, so not for a while

[Smithy]

Lady GaGa has reportedly fired her security team after a fan managed to get on stage during one of her concerts.

The 'Alejandro' singer, who is currently on the European leg of her 'Monster Ball' tour, apparently "went mad" at her guards after a member of the audience climbed on stage at one of her Japan gigs.

"She went mad. She couldn't believe they could let these things happen so she fired them on the spot," a source told The Sun.

"She goes out of her way to make her shows perfect and she expects the same from her people. Some thought she would calm down but she put them straight on a plane home."

GaGa recently addressed fears about her health due to her hectic tour schedule, claiming: "I'll sleep when I'm dead, okay?"

Ooer :s

[Smithy]

An interview from the times, Its pretty big, hence the spoiler:

“So glad you finally made it!” she says, giving a huge, warm hug. “What a terrible day you’re having! Thank you so much for coming!” Holding her for a moment, she feels – through the taffeta atmosphere of billowing McQueen – borderline Kylie-tiny, but warm, and robust. Like a slender, teenage cheerleader. This is some surprise, give the aforementioned presumption that she’s cracking up.

So when Gaga says, with warm good manners, “This tea is for you,” gesturing to a bone-china cup handpainted with violets, I can’t help myself from replying, uncouthly: “I know you’re tiny and must get knackered – but why do you keep collapsing?”

“My schedule is such that I don’t get very much time to eat,” Gaga says, holding her teacup daintily. I don’t think the teacup is her infamous “pet teacup” that she took everywhere with her earlier in the year – including nightclubs. Perhaps it’s too famous to be merely drunk from now. Maybe it has its own dressing room.

“But I certainly don’t have an eating problem,” she continues. “A little MDMA [Ecstasy] once in a while never killed anybody, but I really don’t do drugs. I don’t touch cocaine any more. I don’t smoke. Well, maybe a single cigarette – with whisky – while I’m working, because it just frees my mind a little bit. But I care about my voice. The thrill of my voice being healthy on stage is really special. I take care of myself.”

Later on in the interview, Gaga takes off the McQueen cloak – perhaps pointedly, for the nosey journalist – and reveals that, underneath, she’s only wearing fishnets, knickers and a bra. To someone who is seeing her practically naked, from two feet away, her body seems non-scarred, healthy: sturdy. She is wiry, but not remotely bony. It’s a dancer’s body – not a victim’s.

I hand Gaga a page torn from that day’s paper, which I had read on the plane. It’s a story about her performance at the Met Ball in New York – one of the big events of the global celebrity calendar. In the report, it is claimed that Gaga “angered” organisers by “refusing” to walk the red carpet, and then suffered an attack of stage fright so severe she locked herself in her dressing room, and had to be “persuaded out” by “her close friend Oprah Winfrey”. It’s merely the latest of the “Gaga cracking up” stories in the press.

“Is this true?” I ask her.

She reads through the story – frowning slightly at first, eyes wide open by the end.

“I wasn’t nervous!” she says, witheringly. “To be honest with you, I don’t give a ******* about red carpets, and I never do them. I don’t like them. First of all – how could any of these outfits possibly look good with an ugly red carpet under them?”

For a moment, I recall some of Gaga’s more incredible rig-outs: the silver lobster fascinator. The red PVC Elizabethan farthingale. The tunic made of Kermit heads. The red lace outfit that covered her entire face, peaking in a 2ft-high crown. She has a point.

“It’s just visually horrid,” Gaga continues, in a merrily outraged way. Her manner is of your mate in the pub, slagging off the neon tabard she’s been forced to wear working at Boots. “Hollywood is not what it used to be. I don’t want to be perceived as… one of the other bitches in a gown. I wasn’t nervous,” says the woman who appeared in her Telephone video dressed in nothing more than “CRIME SCENE” tape, strategically placed across her nipples and crotch. “Don’t be SILLY!”

But still these rumours persist – of collapses and neuroses. You are, after all, a 24-year-old woman coping with enormous fame, and media pressure, on your own. You are currently the one, crucial, irreplaceable element of a 161-date world tour. How do you keep depressive, or panicked, thoughts at bay?

“Prescription medicine,” she says, cheerfully. “I can’t control my thoughts at all. I’m tortured. But I like that,” she laughs, cheerfully. “Lorca says it’s good to be tortured. The thoughts are unstoppable – but so is the music. It comes to me constantly. That’s why I got this tattoo,” she says, proffering a white arm through the black cloak-folds.

It is a quote from the poet and art critic Rainer Maria Rilke: “In the deepest hour of the night, confess to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write. And look deep into your heart where it spreads its roots, the answer, and ask yourself: ‘Must I write?’ ”

“I think tattoos have power. I did it as a way to kind of… inject myself with a steadfastness about music. People say I should take a break, but I’m like, ‘Why should I take a break? What do you want me to do – go on vacation?’ ”

On stage, later that night – dripping in sweat, just after playing a version of Bad Romance where the chorus sounds even more tearfully euphoric and amazing than usual – Gaga shouts to the crowd, “I’d rather not die on a vacation, under a palm tree. I’d rather die on stage, with all my props, in front of my fans.”

Given that one of her props is a 6ft-high hybrid of a cello, keyboard and drum machine, with a golden skull nailed to the side of it – something that makes the “keytar” look like a mere castanet – you can see her point.

But it has to be said, for a 24-year-old, death is a recurrent theme in her performances. The thematic arc for the Fame Monster tour was “the apocalypse”. On the current Monster Ball tour, Gaga is eventually eaten by a gigantic angler fish – a creature she was terrified of as a child – only to be reborn as an angel. Her MTV Awards performance of Paparazzi, back in September, had her being crushed by a falling chandelier – amazing – before bleeding to death while singing.

“What’s the nearest you’ve ever come to death?” I ask her. “Do you have any recurring illnesses?”

She goes oddly still for a moment, and then says, “I have heart palpitations and… things.”

“Recently?”

“Yes, but it’s OK. It’s just from fatigue and other things,” she shrugs, before saying, with great care, “I’m very connected to my aunt, Joanne, who died of lupus. It’s a very personal thing. I don’t want my fans to be worried about me.”

Her eyes are very wide.

“Lupus. That’s genetic, isn’t it?” I ask.

“Yes.”

“And have you been tested?”

Again, the eyes are very wide and steady. “Yes.” Pause. “But I don’t want anyone to be worried.”

“When was the last time you called the emergency services?” I ask.

“The other day,” Gaga says, still talking very carefully. “In Tokyo. I was having trouble breathing. I had a little oxygen, then I went on stage. I was OK. But like I say, I don’t want anyone to worry.”

It’s a very odd moment. Gaga is staring at me calmly but intently.

Lupus is a connective tissue disease, where the immune system attacks the body. It can be fatal – although, as medicine advances, fatalities are becoming rarer. What it more commonly does is cause heart palpitations, shortness of breath, joint pain and anaemia, before spasmodically but recurrently driving a truck through your energy levels, so that you are often too fatigued to accomplish even the simplest of tasks.

Suddenly, all the “Gaga cracking up” stories revolve 180 degrees, and turn into something completely different. After all, the woman before me seems about as far removed from someone on the verge of a fame-induced nervous breakdown as possible to imagine. She’s being warm, candid, smart, amusing and supremely confident in her talent. She’s basically like some hot, giggly pop-nerd.

Of course, she hasn’t said, outright, “I have lupus.” But the suggestion throws the whole previous year – being delayed on stage, cancelling gigs, having to call the emergency services – into sharp relief.

Gaga is certainly very affected by her aunt’s demise: the date of her death, in 1976, is woven into her Rilke tattoo on her arm. When I ask her if she ever “dresses down”, she says the only thing remotely “dress down-y” she has is a pair of pink, cotton shorts, embroidered with flowers, that once belonged to her aunt.

“They’re nearly 40 years old,” she says. “But I wear them when I want her to protect me.”

The story that I thought I would find when I met Gaga – dark, otherworldly, borderline autistic diva-genius failing under the pressure of fame – just dissolves, like newsprint in the rain.

All that’s left is a mardy pop sex threat – the woman who put out three, Abba-level classic singles in one year, in her early twenties, while wearing a lobster on her head. As I’m sure Mark Lawson says at times like this, Booyakasha.

“What’s the best thing you’ve spent your money on so far?” I ask, in a far more cheerful mood.

“I bought my parents a car,” Gaga replies. She has often spoken of how close she is to her parents – particularly her father, whom she appears to borderline worship. Presumably, she sees herself in him – a self-made man, he started as a rock’n’roll bar musician, before making his fortune as an internet entrepreneur. By the time Gaga was 13, the family were rich enough to send her to the same school as heiress Paris Hilton.

Gaga is not faking her current outsiderness – even back then, when she was still just Stefani Germanotta, she was the Goth girl with dyed black hair, obsessed with Judy Garland, Led Zeppelin and David Bowie, and wearing her skirts really high.

“It’s a Rolls-Royce,” she continues, sipping on her tea, daintily. She has lifted the veil now: she looks as casual as it is possible to in a wig and couture. “It’s black. My dad’s very Italian, so I wanted to get him a real Godfather car. I had it delivered on their wedding anniversary.”

When Gaga rang her father and told him to “Go outside!”, he refused. “He thought I’d got him a dancing gorillagram,” she giggled. The car had a huge bow on it, and the message, “A car to last like a love like yours.” At first, Gaga’s parents just thought they had it for the day, to drive round in. When she told them it was theirs to keep, her father shouted “You’re crazy!” and burst into tears.

“You see, I don’t really spend money and I don’t really like fame,” Gaga says. “I spend my money on my shows – but I don’t like buying things. I don’t buy diamonds, because I don’t know where they came from. I’ll spend it on fashion.” She hugs the McQueen cloak close.

“I miss Lee every time I get dressed,” she says, sadly. “But you know what I spend most of my money on? Disappearing. I hate the paparazzi. Because the truth is – no matter what people tell you – you can control it. If you put as much money into your security as you put into your cars or your diamonds or your jewellery, you can just… disappear. People who say they can’t get away are lying. They must just like the… big flashes.”

The conversation turns to the music industry. Gaga has an endearingly schoolmarmish belief that most acts are “lazy”.

“I hate big acts that just throw an album out against the wall, like ‘BUY IT! ******* YOU!’ It’s mean to fans. You should go out and tour it to your fans in India, Japan, the UK. I don’t believe in how the music industry is today. I believe in how it was in 1982.”

She explains she doesn’t mind about people downloading her music for free, “because you know how much you can earn off touring, right? Big artists can make anywhere from $40 million [£28 million] for one cycle of two years’ touring. Giant artists make upwards of $100 million. Make music – then tour. It’s just the way it is today.”

While on this huge, technically complex, sell-out world tour, Gaga has written and recorded the majority of her next album: “I don’t understand bands who say they’ll tour for one year, then record the next,” she exclaims at one point, going Thatcher again. “I make music every DAY!”

Although she “can’t talk about it yet”, she is clearly excited about the next album. She keeps trying to tell me things about it, then claps her hands over her mouth, going, “I can’t!

“But everyone’s going to *******ing know about it when it comes out,” she says, excitedly. “You know when people say, ‘If you could say one sentence about who you are, what your life is?’ It’s that. For the whole album. Because I recently had this… miracle-like experience, where I feel much more connected to God.”

You were raised a Catholic – so when you say “God”, do you mean the Catholic God, or a different, perhaps more spiritual sense of God?

“More spiritual,” Gaga says, looking like she’s biting her tongue. “I don’t want to say much, because I want it to stay hidden until it comes out – but I will say that religion is very confusing for everyone, and particularly me, because there’s really no religion that doesn’t hate or condemn a certain kind of people, and I totally believe in all love and forgiveness, and excluding no one.”

Would you play for the Pope, if he asked you?

“Yeah,” Gaga says. There’s a pause. Perhaps she considers her current stage show, and the section where her male dancers grab their gigantic, fake white penises, and bounce them off their palms to Boys Boys Boys.

“Well. I’d do an acoustic show for the Pope,” she amends.

Astonishingly, given how late I was, Gaga has given me a full hour of interview time. I later find out that she turned down doing a video acceptance speech for the World Music Awards in order to fit me in. I feel I’ve done amazingly well, considering how badly the day started. Then Gaga puts her cup down, and turns to me.

“You should come out with us tonight,” she says, warmly. “Actually, I’ve never had a journalist come out with me, so you’d be the first. It’s going to be fun. It’s like an old sex club, in Berlin. Come party with Gaga!”

It is midnight. Gaga came off stage half an hour ago. Dressed, once again, in knickers, bra, fishnets and her black taffeta McQueen, she has been standing in freezing, driving rain outside the O2 World Arena, signing autographs for fans.

Her fans are infamously, incredibly devoted – as she is to them. She calls them her “Little Monsters”. They draw pictures of her, get tattoos like hers, weep when she touches them. Her den-mother championing of “all the freaks” (fat girls, gay boys, lesbian girls, Goths, nerds, everyone who gets picked on at school), allied to her global pop juggernaut, makes her relationship with her fans intense. When you watch her with them, you see that culturally, what she’s doing is… providing a space for them. Giving them somewhere to meet.

Then her security guy gives the signal, and we are all bundled into people carriers with blacked-out windows, and whizzed across Berlin.

Paps in cars try to follow us, but it seems what Gaga said earlier was true: if you spend enough money on security, they can’t follow you. She simply has two burly men stand in front of their cars, impeding them, until we have vanished.

“It’s, like, a sex party,” Gaga explains. “You know – like in Eyes Wide Shut? All I can say is, I am not responsible for what happens next. And wear a condom.”

As we take the alleyway to the sex club, security men appear and close it off with giant, blacked-out gates.

The club – the Lab.Oratory – is an industrial, maze-like building. To get to the dancefloor, you have to pass a series of tiny, cell-like booths, decked out with a selection of beds, bathtubs, hoists and chains.

“For *******ing,” a German member of our entourage explains – both helpfully, and somewhat unnecessarily.

Despite the undoubted and extreme novelty of such a venue, Adrian – Gaga’s British press officer – and I give away our nationalities instantly when we comment, excitedly, “Oh my God! You can SMOKE in here.” It seems a far more thrilling prospect than… some bumming.

It’s a small entourage – Gaga, me, Adrian, her make-up artist, her security guy, and maybe two others. We walk on to the small dancefloor, in a club filled with drag queens, lesbians dressed as sailors, boys in tight T-shirts, girls in black leather. The music is pounding. There is a gigantic harness hanging over the bar. “For *******ing,” the same German says again, helpfully.

Gaga is heading up our group. Even, like, Keane would slope off to a VIP booth at this point, and wait for people to bring them drinks. Instead – cloak billowing, and very much looking like one of the Skekses in The Dark Crystal – Gaga marches up to the bar, leans on it in a practised barfly manner. With a bellowed, “What does everyone want to drink?”, she gets the round in.

It reminds me of what was possibly the best moment of this year in Gaga world: the tabloids running a shot of Gaga – dressed only in fishnets, a bra and leather cap – sitting in a pub in Blackpool, with a pint of Stella and a plate of chips.

“I really love a dingy, pissy bar,” Gaga says. “I’m really old-school that way.”

We go into an alcove with a wipe-clean banquette – “For the *******ing!” the German says, again – and set up camp. Gaga takes off her McQueen cloak, and chucks it into a corner. She’s now just in bra, fishnet and knickers, with sequins around her eyes.

“Do you know what that girl at the bar said to me?” she says, sipping her Scotch, and taking a single drag off a fag before handing it back. “She said, ‘You’re a feminist. People think it means man-hating, but it doesn’t.’ Isn’t that funny?”

Earlier in the day, conversation had turned to whether Gaga would describe herself as feminist or not. As the very best conversations about feminism often will, it had segued from robust declarations of emancipation and sisterhood (“I am a feminist because I believe in women’s rights, and protecting who we are, down to the core”) to musing on who she fancied. (“In the video to Telephone, the girl I kiss, Heather, lives as a man. And as someone who does like women, something about a more masculine woman makes me feel more… feminine. When we kissed, I got that fuzzy butterfly feeling.”)

We had concluded that it was odd most women “shy away” from declaring themselves feminists, because “it really doesn’t mean ‘man-hating’ ”.

“And now she’s just said the same thing to me! AND she’s hot!” Gaga beams. She points to the girl – who looks like an androgynous, Cupid-mouthed, Jean Paul Gaultier cabin boy. “Gorgeous,” Gaga sighs.

This is Gaga off-duty. Although the booth becomes by way of a shrine to her – between now and 4am, fully two-thirds of the club come over to pay obeisance to her: drag queens and tom girls and superfreaks, all acknowledging the current definitive pop-cultural salon keeper – Gaga alternates between being wholly gracious and welcoming to them, and getting absolutely off her cake. With the thrill of like recognising like, I realise she’s a total lightweight – giggly after two Scotches, dancing in the booth after three, and wholly on the prowl after four.

“Are you straight?” she asks some hot, American boy we’ve been talking to at one point, in the manner of someone who needs to make plans for the rest of the evening based on the reply. When he says, regretfully, ‘No,’ her attention seems to, amusingly, wander.

But that’s just for sex. Gaga’s devotion to, and promotion of, every aspect of gay culture is legendary. Bisexual herself, while her musical education might have been classical, her cultural education was homosexual, and comes to a head in the video for her forthcoming single, Alejandro.

Sprawled across the banquette, in a mood of eager excitement, Gaga shows me stills from the video shoot on her BlackBerry.

She’s dressed as Joan of Arc, with a ferocious Purdey haircut. To be honest, I can’t see much more than that, because she’s a bit pissed and her thumbs keep getting in the way.

The video is about the “purity of my friendships with my gay friends”, Gaga had explained, earlier. “And how I’ve been unable to find that with a straight man in my life. It’s a celebration and an admiration of gay love – it confesses my envy of the courage and bravery they require to be together. In the video I’m pining for the love of my gay friends – but they just don’t want me.”

We look at the photo on her BlackBerry again.

“I’m not sure about my hair,” Gaga says, suddenly, staring at the BlackBerry.

3am. I am pretty wasted. I am kneeling on the banquette, with Gaga lying by my knees.

I have just come up with the theory that, if you have one of your heroes lying tipsily next to you, you should tell them all the pretentious pop-culture theories you have come up with about them. So I slurringly tell her that the difference between her and, say, Madonna, is that you don’t penetrate Gaga. Her songs and videos are – while sexual – about dysfunction and neuroses and alienation and self-discovery. They’re not, in any sense, a come-on. Despite having worn very little clothing for most of her career, Gaga is not a prick tease.

“Yeah! It’s not what straight men masturbate over when they’re at home watching pornography,” she confirms. “It’s not for them. It’s for… us.” And she gestures around the club.

Earlier in the day, she had said – somewhat unexpectedly – “I still feel very much like an outsider. And I have zero concept of how I’m assessed in the world.” As one of the most-discussed women in the world, this is a surprise. Does she really not read her press? Perhaps this is how she’s stayed so… normal. Ordering drinks, chatting to everyone. She’s the least pretentious multimillion-selling artist I’ve ever met.

A minute later, Gaga springs up, and beckons for me to follow her. Weaving her way down a series of corridors, we eventually end in – the VIP toilet.

“You’re wearing a jumpsuit,” Gaga says, with feminine solidarity. “You can’t get out of one of those in the normal toilets.”

As I start to arduously unzip, Gaga sits on the toilet with a cheerful, “I’m just going to pee through my fishnets!”, and offloads some of those whiskies.

For the first year of her career, massive internet rumours claimed that Gaga was, in fact, a man – a rumour so strong that Oprah had to question her about it, when Gaga appeared on her show.

Perhaps uniquely among all the journalists in the world, I can now factually confirm that Lady Gaga does not have a penis. That rumour can, conclusively, die.

4am. Time for bed. We pull up outside the Ritz Carlton, in a people carrier with blacked-out windows. Gaga opens the door and totters out, looking – despite the McQueen cloak – like any tipsy 24-year-old girl on a night out in Newcastle on a Saturday. Her grey wig looks dishevelled. Her face-sequins are wonky. Her eyes are pointing in slightly different directions – although, to be fair, I can only focus on her myself if I close one eye and rest my head against the window. Tonight, she played to 17,000 fans. Tomorrow, it’s Sting’s Rainforest Benefit, where she takes her place among the pantheon: Debbie Harry, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John.

She leans up against the car for a moment, issues a small hiccup, and then turns, dramatically.

“I. Am. KNACKERED!” she roars. She then walks, slightly unsteadily, up the steps of the Ritz Carlton hotel. A total, total dude.

Im still rather worried for her health :(

[Deirdre]

I love that interview. She's so down to Earth, I mean someone as famous as Gaga inviting a JOURNALIST for a night out?!

OMG no way can't wait:D.

Think it was a repeat but did see the Gaga programmes on Smash Hits yesterday:).

[bbfan1991]

In a new interview, Lady Gaga says that she loves the rumors floating around that she has a penis.

She has previously cleared up any speculation as to whether or not she’s a man or woman, but the rumors keep flowing. She doesn’t care, though, and neither do we. She gets it. It’s all about the music.

She said, “I love the rumor that I have a penis. I’m fascinated by it. In fact, it makes me love my fans even more that this rumor is in the world because 17,000 of them come to an arena every night and they don’t care if I’m a man, a woman, a hermaphrodite, gay, straight, transgendered, or transsexual. They don’t care! They are there for the music and the freedom. This has been the greatest accomplishment of my life- to get young people to throw away what society has taught them is wrong. Gay culture is at the very essence of who I am and I will fight for women and for the gay community until I die.”

Thats : Then You Love Me <3

I don't think the album title, has been released yet, although I really like "Welcome To The Asylum" I can just imagine the cover art now :laugh:.

The album title's still unconfirmed, I highly doubt Check Into The Asylum will be the title though.
Also, that song is called 'Then You Loved Me', which leaked a couple of days ago. I don't think it'll be used on the third album seeing as she leaks more than a broken tap but we'll see.

*cries because of not knowing*

[M X]

Rapper T.I. has revealed that his new studio album King Uncaged, due August 17, will feature a collaboration with Lady Gaga. The two have recorded a RedOne-produced track called “Lick It”. T.I. says on working with Gaga:

“Phenomenal talent. Extremely proud. She’s definitely that good. She knows what she’s doing. She knows exactly what she wants people to think and say. She does everything that she needs to be done to ensure it happens. I think she’s an entertainer, in all aspects of the word. She’s a classic, all-around entertainer. A global star.”

“We gonna go back in and record some more songs. But the one we have right now is entitled ‘Lick It.’ I think we both have a tendency to shock the world in a lot of different ways.”

http://http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/10/15/M/music_lady_gaga_the_remix.jpg

Lady GaGa has revealed that she has been tested for a life-threatening disease.

The 'Alejandro' singer, who has suffered a series of health scares on her Monster Ball tour, has now admitted she may have lupus, a disease that killed her aunt.

GaGa has undergone hospital tests but refuses to reveal if she is carrying the disease, the Daily Star reports.

She said: "I’m very connected to my aunt, Joanne, who died of lupus. It’s a very personal thing."

The disease affects the immune system, and could explain her series of blackouts on stage in the past few months.


Oh dear:(, hope she's fine:).

[Smithy]

It's in the interview in the spoiler on the past couple of pages BB :p

I think she was negative though (result not her attitude :laugh:)

[Ninastar]

omfg. Im really scared now.

[Smithy]

Did anyone read the interview :(

[Smithy]

“What’s the nearest you’ve ever come to death?” I ask her. “Do you have any recurring illnesses?”

She goes oddly still for a moment, and then says, “I have heart palpitations and… things.”

“Recently?”

“Yes, but it’s OK. It’s just from fatigue and other things,” she shrugs, before saying, with great care, “I’m very connected to my aunt, Joanne, who died of lupus. It’s a very personal thing. I don’t want my fans to be worried about me.”

Her eyes are very wide.

“Lupus. That’s genetic, isn’t it?” I ask.

“Yes.”

“And have you been tested?”

Again, the eyes are very wide and steady. “Yes.” Pause. “But I don’t want anyone to be worried.”

“When was the last time you called the emergency services?” I ask.

“The other day,” Gaga says, still talking very carefully. “In Tokyo. I was having trouble breathing. I had a little oxygen, then I went on stage. I was OK. But like I say, I don’t want anyone to worry.”

It’s a very odd moment. Gaga is staring at me calmly but intently.

Lupus is a connective tissue disease, where the immune system attacks the body. It can be fatal – although, as medicine advances, fatalities are becoming rarer. What it more commonly does is cause heart palpitations, shortness of breath, joint pain and anaemia, before spasmodically but recurrently driving a truck through your energy levels, so that you are often too fatigued to accomplish even the simplest of tasks.

Suddenly, all the “Gaga cracking up” stories revolve 180 degrees, and turn into something completely different. After all, the woman before me seems about as far removed from someone on the verge of a fame-induced nervous breakdown as possible to imagine. She’s being warm, candid, smart, amusing and supremely confident in her talent. She’s basically like some hot, giggly pop-nerd.

Of course, she hasn’t said, outright, “I have lupus.” But the suggestion throws the whole previous year – being delayed on stage, cancelling gigs, having to call the emergency services – into sharp relief.

Gaga is certainly very affected by her aunt’s demise: the date of her death, in 1976, is woven into her Rilke tattoo on her arm. When I ask her if she ever “dresses down”, she says the only thing remotely “dress down-y” she has is a pair of pink, cotton shorts, embroidered with flowers, that once belonged to her aunt.

“They’re nearly 40 years old,” she says. “But I wear them when I want her to protect me.”
Snippets as you cba reading it :laugh:

Lady GaGa reportedly broke down in tears on stage last night after revealing that her grandfather was fighting for his life in hospital.

The 'Alejandro' singer returned to the UK yesterday for a second leg of concerts from her Monster Ball tour, and admitted to fans that she was concerned for her sick relative.

The Daily Mail reports that GaGa dedicated her piano-led ballad 'Brown Eyes' to him, saying: "If we all sing loud enough, maybe he can hear us!"

Fans reported that GaGa was noticeably upset during the performance and briefly stopped to wipe away tears from her eyes.

[Ninastar]

[Smithy]

[Smithy]

Never mind, It's not out anytime soon. GaGa clearly needs to learn to count :(

[Deirdre]

The video is premiering this day week, June 7th!
Gagadaily confirmed it on their twitter. :elephant:

"Alejandro" music video will premiere next Monday, June 7 on Lady Gaga's official website! Preview tomorrow on Larry King. #AlejandroVideo

[Smithy]

Garr she chooses to premiere it on the day of my exam D;

[Zippy]

Her video releases are becoming major events. She's virtually revived interest in the medium. But can she keep up the standards? At some point she may have to go the opposite way and keep it simplistic.

Lady Gaga fans were left fuming on Sunday when security guards at a top London arena banned concertgoers from dressing up like the flamboyant pop star.

The Poker Face hitmaker took to the stage at The O2 at the weekend as part of her Monster Ball tour but devotees who had queued up for hours were stunned to learn items including glowsticks, flags and trendy fingerless gloves were not allowed into the venue.

Some female supporters were even forced to dress down after styling themselves to imitate Gaga's look in her promo for her hit single Telephone.

One devotee has taken to Twitter.com to write, "Omg (oh my God) this is ridiculous. About to go in and security are confiscating everything! No glowsticks, flags, home made banners!!!

"I know Lady Gaga would not be happy about this! And girls with cans in their hair like the Telephone video have to take the cans out!!

"Now O2 security are telling people they can't wear Lady Gaga style fingerless gloves!!!!!! What foolishness is this?!!!"

[Ninastar]

Nahh, you saw how well spoken she was in that interview, she came across really intelligent

Maybe she was reading from a script.

[Smithy]

No lmao, she wasn't reading from a script, she would have needed her glasses

[Ninastar]

No lmao, she wasn't reading from a script, she would have needed her glasses

she has glasses?? AWW. and if she had contact lenses in - which she did because her eyes weren't brown, then she wouldn't need glasses.

[Smithy]

She said in the interview, come closer I don't have my glasses on -.- (When Ruth was saying she could go for a pee break)

I understand you PREFER them, but out of curiosity, what pbrought you to the brash conclusion that they are, in fact, 'better' than her.

[Smithy]

How amazing would it have been if BGT had gotten GaGa to perform Alejandro this week

[M X]

Lady Gaga is looking to make history with her next album. The singer, who recently revealed that her upcoming LP will be "more spiritual," took some time to participate in a live video interview with SHOWstudio.com, during which she spoke about the importance of making her mark in the music industry and the completion of the project.

"This new album is my chance to create what in 20 years will be seen as my iconic moment," she said during the broadcast. "That's what you should always aim at."

Fans shouldn't expect another heavy-hitting partnership like her collaboration with Beyoncé on "Telephone"; Gaga is focused on holding her own: "At this very moment, I really don't want to do any collaborations, especially contemporary ones because I want to really stand on my own two feet."

She also revealed that the forthcoming project was inspired by her "little monsters." "My new album that I'm creating, which is finished pretty much, was written with this new instinctual energy that I've developed getting to know my fans," she said. "They protect me, so now it's now my destiny to protect them."

Gaga also said she's learned the importance of being a leader for her fans.

"Particularly with my next album, I'm much more self-aware of my spiritual and leadership connection to my little monsters and the world in the way that any artist is a leader in that way," she said. "I don't particularly think that things like sex and drugs and talking about things openly in that way are wrong or necessarily bad for young kids, but I think the most terrible thing you can do is be prejudiced. I would say that emphatically in my career, I am against prejudice. I am very against prejudice. I am very against judging any particular kind of personal people or thing or idea. I think it is very important to be free and full of non-judgment. I guess I would say that is how I religiously and spiritually lead my fans is in that way. I am OK with that responsibility."

In December, Gaga spoke to MTV News about how she planned to get inspired on her everlasting Monster Ball Tour: "I wrote The Fame Monster during the last tour, so ... I assume that it will inspire some kind of new sonic energy and lyrical style."

Great!:).

[Smithy]

[Callum]

By the way the interview will also air at 10am on news channel CNN in the UK. :)

[Smithy]

10am?
I won't be up for that, I stayed up to watch it online, she's about to talk about the new album and then the link went :'(

[Callum]

I read that she said that the new album won't be released in 2010

Not surprising considering how well Fame Monster is doing currently worldwide
