because it certainly seems like it:

Lady Gaga will release a photo book featuring new and exclusive "intimate" pictures later this year.

The 'Judas' singer will pen the foreword for the new tome, which is called Lady Gaga and will be released on November 22 through Grand Central Books. The publishing company claim that the book will provide "the intimate, random, behind-the-scenes moments" of her life and career, including exclusive photos taken while she was making her latest album 'Born This Way'.

It will also feature more than 350 pictures from the renowned fashion photographer Terry Richardson. Last September, the star revealed that she wanted to release a book with Richardson, after he joined her for her 'Monster Ball' tour when she told Vogue magazine:

He's on the bus with me. He just follows me everywhere. He'll photograph me when I'm changing - those quick changes during the show. And sometimes I'll have to pee during the show, and I'm always screaming, 'Terry, get out!'

Grand Central Books’ Jamie Rabb said: "Lady Gaga will be one of the most stunning, provocative and coveted books of the 2011 holiday season."

Earlier this month, Gaga confessed to having had a cocaine habit in the past when she told US shock jock Howard Stern: "I think that I was lonely and there was something about the drug that made me feel like I had a friend.”

to the both of them. Madonna should take early retirement.

[Niall]

Oh no. God. Noooo why'd she have to do this. Why. I swear if its anything like Sex I will slap her if I ever meet her in person. I don't even think she could get good publicity despite how edgy she is.

I don't want a Gaga flange book.

[Smithy]

by intimate it doesn't mean n00dz it meant private in the recording studio or behind the scenes at the MB

I better leave this thread before Harry arrives

[Doogle]

Boring.

[Shaun]

(to be fair to her, this is from the NME who will have, of course, worded it in the most attention-seeking way possible)

[Harry!]

No dubut the ''provocative'' images will be deemed ''original'' by the mass, as always . We will just have to wait and see what the images are like first...

Um no far from it. Behold, she is coming soon...

I wonder how many blasphemous pictures will be in this book, none to cause controversy of course.

M's SEX book/Erotica era almost destroyed her carear too...

Soon?? It feels like she never goes away. Her peak passed with the 90's.

Yes she is working on a new album now and her film is out December . She has been almost absent the last year or so. And I disagree.

As opposed to you saying that about Madonna? Tit and minge had been in print long before Madonna dropped her knickers.

[Joelle.]

Oh please, Madonna's career ended the moment she released Hard Candy

I'm guessing this is a film she's directed? As long as she doesn't act in it, I've just managed to forget the majority of "Evita".

But no singer had ever attepted to release a book like that before.

Yes she has directed it (and writtern and had most control over) and will not star Madonna. Evita is one of her best films. She even won a Golden Globe for her role in it.

Far from it...

Yes, but I'd hardly call the book a "success" on Madonna's part.

Well the book sold many copies. And was used to premote the album. But of course dented a part of her in the press. Luckily she recovered that when she released her far cooler Bedtime Stories album and even more with Evita and her phenonamal Ray Of Light.
