Lady Gaga will be honored as Billboard Magazine’s “Rising Star” at the trade publication’s annual Women in Music Event later this week.
Lady Gaga will receive the honor alongside “Woman of the Year” Beyonce at Friday night’s ceremony in New York City, Billboard announced on Tuesday.
The pop sensation’s debut album, The Fame, has sold more than 1 million copies since its release in 2008. Gaga scored two No. 1 singles with “Just Dance” and “Poker Face,” and in November, she kicks off a joint tour with Kanye West.
The Girls Aloud frontwoman has become obsessed with the pop sensation’s style. Cheryl was voted FHM Magazine’s “Sexiest Woman of 2009″ and is often praised for her fashion sense and slim figure, but she’s been won over by the ‘Poker Face’ singer’s neurotic style and eccentic outfits. “If I’m totally honest with you, I never had a style icon. But Lady Gaga is right now,” Cheryl says. “I think people don’t see her as conventionally beautiful but, as a style icon and an artist, I’m slightly obsessed with her. She’s the real deal.”
Now here’s a great holiday concert for kids: Fame Kills: Starring Kanye West & Lady Gaga.
Two of the most controversial acts in music are teaming for a 34 citiy tour of North America, kicking off in Phoenix on Nov. 10 and running through Jan. 24 in Dallas. Tickets go on sale to the general public in select markets this Friday, Sept. 25 at LiveNation.com.
Kermit the Frog and Lady Gaga kissed at the MTV Video Music Awards. Kermit says she’s a great kisser, but says the smooch was for good luck — not romance.
A suicide prevention interest group has slammed Lady Gaga’s performance at the 26th Annual MTV Video Music Awards for sending out an “irresponsible” message to young fans.
Katy Perry’s kissing more than just girls these days.
The “Waking Up In Vegas” hitmaker was spotted locking lips with MTV Video Music Awards host Russell Brand at Lady Gaga’s VMAs afterparty at Avenue in the Meatpacking District — after the British comic joked onstage that he had the hots for the busty singing star.
“They were sitting very close together, flirting and whispering to each other with their faces very close. Then Russell leaned in for a long kiss. It didn’t look like this was the first time. He was looking extremely pleased with himself,” says a tattle.
Lady Gaga once wore Kermit the Frog as a jacket, but on Sunday night, the quirky pop sensation wore the famous Muppet on her arm instead.
“It’s our first date and we’ve been eying each other for some time,” Gaga told MTV VJ Sway. “You’re so handsome tonight, Kermit!” she said. “I’m so nervous around him”
Piggy won’t be pleased….
The “Love Game” star arrived on the red carpet at Sunday night’s 2009 MTV VMAs escorted by Kermit, who was wearing a tuxedo for the occasion.
“Gaga and I, we’re just friends,” Kermit quickly added.
“Miss Piggy has been sending me some pretty funny text messages – she was wondering if it was going to be another late night,” GaGa joked.
Lady Gaga turned the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in her hometown of New York City into a bloody mess on Sunday night, after a gory stage rendition of her hit single “Paparazzi.”
Asking Lady Gaga if she’s hiding a penis beneath those barely-there stage ensembles could get you bounced by her burly security detail. A journalist was thrown out of a German press conference on Monday after she offended the pop sensation by questioning if she has a penis.
Rumors that the “Love Game” singer is a hermaphrodite — born with both male and female genitals — first surfaced aftervideo footage of Gaga surfaced,on the net which allegedly shows a little extra something underneath her dress onstage during a live concert at Glastonbury earlier this year.
German TV personality Collien Fernandes asked: “Do you have a penis?” The Sun reports.
“My beautiful vagina is very offended by that question,” Lady Gaga snapped back.
Yet, the blunt reporter continued: “Really? So you have a vagina?”
The media person was then aggressively ushered out of the hall.
Fernandes is flabbergased by the star’s harsh treatment, insisting she did nothing wrong.
“I don’t really understand the fuss. It’s obvious someone would ask her this question after the picture was all over the news.”
Lady Gaga talks celebrity hate, being compared to Madonna, and bringing the art world to the MTV Video Music Awards in the new issue of Newsweek.
The “Love Game” singer promises that her performance at next weekend’s VMAs in her hometown of New York City will be a moment to remember.
“I know it will,” she told magazine. “I sort of have this philosophy about things: there’s never a reason to do something unless it’s going to be memorable, unless it’s going to change things, unless it’s going to inspire a movement. With the song and with the performance, I hope to say something very grave about fame and the price of it.”
“It’s less of me singing the song, and more of an art installation. A performance-art piece. We’ve been working on it for months and months,” she added. Read the rest of this entry »
