LADY GAGA PRODUCER SPITS FIRE AT NICKI MINAJ: "F*CK YOU, GET A GRIP"

2012-11-06T20:07:00.000-08:00

Grammy-winning singer Lady Gaga producer DJ White Shadow has fired a few shots toward Young Money rapper Nicki Minaj and questioned her true worth.

Prior to deleting the initial comment, Shadow went straight at Minaj's head and called her talentless.

DJ White Shadow has vented his frustrations over Nicki Minaj. The producer, who helped produce Lady GaGa's third album Born This Way, took to Twitter to blast the rapper. He tweeted: "Ok. Nicki Minaj. F**k you. Get a grip. You are lucky, not talented. Stop. Please stop. XO. DJWS" The message was deleted shortly after.

White Shadow followed up the deleted comment with some clarification on his stance toward Nicki.

"Oops didn't mean to delete that. But I don't recall what I said, basically it was "come on son" to nicki. Cause you are wack.," Shadow tweeted November 5th.
"F*ck. What is wrong with the world."

"You can be judgmental. My views are my own. I am by myself. I don't hate. It's not hate, just dislike for poor taste."

"You forget I am a human with MY own opinions."

"I am allowed to have a completely independent opinion. Cause I am paul. Not anyone else. And that is my feeling. So goodnight." (DJ White Shadow's Twitter)
Over the summer, one of Lady Gaga's fans called out Minaj for jacking her style.
Nicki Minaj will probably never escape the Lady GaGa comparisons, but it does seems as thought they are starting to get under her skin. The reigning Queen of Hip-Hop was recently heckled by a Lady GaGa fan as she exited an airport. The fan called her a GaGa "rip off" and told her that she "needs to stop copying Lady GaGa." In the video description it says that Nicki called the overzealous GaGa fan a "b*tch," but I didn't hear it. Did you? Glad to see Nicki kept her cool in this situation. Do you agree with the fan, is Nicki a GaGa clone? (All Hip Hop Rumors)

A few months back, the Young Money star addressed the frequent comparisons.
"We are in completely different lanes. First of all, I'm a rapper. I'm from southside Jamaica, Queens," Nicki said in an interview. "Gaga's a fantastic artist, you know, she paved her way. She's opened her own lane. But I think that I have my own lane, and we never cross. Ever. So, you know, I really don't get the comparison anymore. Our music doesn't sound the same. Our stage presence is not the same. I just can't see the similarities." ("Nightline")

Obama Lines Up Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga, Billie Jean King, Jay-Z & More In Campaign's Final Days

2012-11-05T19:54:00.001-08:00

Barack Obama's campaign is relying on its roster of star surrogates to get the message out in the final stages of the race. Among the boldfaced names stumping for the president are 181 politicians, actors, musicians and athletes who are hitting the phones and campaign trail in support of the president.

The full list of names is available at The Hollywood Reporter, but here's a sampling, followed by the AP's report on the big push:

    Ice Cube
    Jay-Z
    Lady Gaga
    John Legend
    John Mellencamp
    Jason Mraz
    Maya Angelou
    Chris Rock
    Justin Long
    Jon Hamm
    Maggie Gyllenaal
    Chanel Iman
    Katy Perry
    Bruce Springsteen
    Sheryl Crow

For more, head over to THR. The AP's report on what the celebrities will be doing is available below:

JIM KUHNHENN, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS:

CINCINNATI -- President Barack Obama is counting on former President Bill Clinton and Bruce Springsteen, top surrogates for his campaign, to carry his message. But he also has enlisted an army of A-list performers and public figures -- from Lady Gaga to Billie Jean King, from Jay-Z to Crosby, Stills and Nash – to promote his re-election.

The Obama campaign provided a who's-who of 181 actors, musicians, authors, athletes, mayors, Congress members, and more that fit any and all demographic groups in the president's target zone. All are being deployed to carry his message to television and radio in the waning days of a nip-and-tuck campaign.

On Saturday, Stevie Wonder played an unannounced concert for voters waiting in line to vote early in Cleveland. Wonder opened a rally for Obama by rocking the arena at the University of Cincinnati with a rendition of "Keep on Running."

Songwriter John Legend, actor Laurence Fishburne, and congressman and civil rights hero John Lewis, D-Ga., were among those who went to Ohio to lead a "Souls to the Polls" effort with local churches.

The list includes some of Hollywood's big names – Samuel L. Jackson, Anne Hathaway, and Scarlett Johansson – who were talking to Top 40 radio stations. Jackson and comedian Chris Rock were on stations with primarily African American audiences urging voters to go to the polls Tuesday.

Danny DeVito and members of the FX sitcom "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" have canvassed neighborhoods in Wisconsin, made phone calls and visited colleges in the state.

Others on the Obama list include Black Eyed Peas' front man Will.i.am and rock band leaders such as Jim James of My Morning Jacket and Jeff Tweedy of Wilco.

Celebrity sells. Now it remains to be seen if voters buy.

Lady Gaga plays biggest show ever

2012-11-05T19:53:00.000-08:00

Lady gaga played the "biggest show" ever staged in Costa Rica.

The 'You and I' singer brought her 'Born This Way Ball' to the Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica stadium in San Jose on Saturday night (03.11.12) and was told it was the most attended concert in the history of the Central American country.

She wrote on her twitter page: "In Costa Rica tonight for stadium show. Thank you so much to everyone for buying a ticket to the BTWBALL. I will leave my heart on the stage ... Thank you Costa Rica, they told me it was the biggest show and turnout they've ever had. means so much to me. luckiest girl alive. (sic)"

Gaga's stage spectacular even eclipsed a massive heavy metal concert by Metallica and the 26-year-old pop superstar is thrilled with her achievement.

She added in other tweets: "the second biggest show to the BTWBALL in Costa Rica was Metallica. @LadyStarlightNy are we dreaming ... Fantastico (sic)"

Despite the success she is experiencing on tour, Gaga's thoughts and prayers are still with the residents of her hometown of New York City following the devastation caused by superstorm Sandy.

The proud New Yorker posted on twitter: "East coast how are you holding up? How are you New York? Staying strong i hope, thinking of you all the time. Can't even watch news feed ... I'll be there as soon as i can to help my old neighborhood. I'm on tour + can't let my fans down. I want to help with my hands with all of u (sic)"

Lady Gaga shows off fuller bikini body in Puerto Rico

2012-11-05T19:51:00.001-08:00

Just in case any tabloids are aiming to call Lady Gaga’s bluff on her recent comments about being comfortable in her own skin, here’s proof that she really is - in bikini form.

Mother Monster stripped down to a skin-tight, blue-and-white bikini while relaxing on the beach with pals in San Juan, Puerto Rico Friday, and she didn’t care who saw.

Gaga, who admitted to gaining 30 pounds earlier this year after unflattering photos surfaced online, looked at ease in her Miller Lite bikini with friends DJ White Shadow and Tara Savelo.

LADY GAGA EMBRACES FULLER FIGURE: 'I REALLY DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT IT'

The eccentric singer, 26, is in town for a few stops on her ‘Born This Way Ball’ tour.

Earlier this month, Gaga opened up to Stylist UK about the negativity surrounding her fuller figure, and confessed that she’s just done caring about the nay-sayers.

“I was acutely aware of some photos on the Internet - my mom called me and was like, ‘Did you gain weight?’ she told the magazine. “Everybody was telling me about it, and I didn’t really care.

“I thought, ‘Well, I don’t really care if they think I’m fat, because, quite honestly, I did gain about 30 pounds.’”

LADY GAGA SLAMS TABLOID TALK OF WEIGHT GAIN: ADELE IS ‘BIGGER THAN ME,’ BUT NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT

The singer also pointed to Adele as an example of an artist who doesn’t fit into society’s physical stereotype of what a pop star should look like, and yet has walked away from critics largely unscathed.

“Adele is bigger than me - how come nobody says anything about it?” she quipped. “She’s so wonderful and I think her confidence is something I have to match. She has set the bar very high for a lot of women.”

Lady Gaga's Latest Meat Dress Involves A Hot Dog

2012-11-05T19:49:00.003-08:00

First off, can we just take a moment to soak in what's happening the photo above because, hahaha, it's freaking AMAZING. Lady Gaga was caught sporting a meat dress once again, but instead of wearing a couture handmade frock (like the one from the 2010 Video Music Awards) she wore, well, this hot dog onesie. With no arms. *golf claps* Over the weekend Gaga posted a video to her Little Monsters social network called "DJWS Vision No. 1" (DJWS = DJ White Shadow for those not in the know) with the caption, "OK we made u a surprise. This is DJWS vision no. 1 AND YES that is me in the hot dog costume trying to be funny." So, of course we watched that bad boy as fast as humanly possible and completely DIED at Mother Monster's armless dancing about a minute in. I mean, girl is definitely succeeding in the funny department. Mama like!

While the iconic original meat dress was made from actual slabs of beef by Franc Fernandez, Lady Gaga's latest incarnation is a little less literal. She sported a sausage-inspired ensemble complete with a bun, mustard and relish all along the top (it's only a few veggies short of a Chicago-style dog!) all in good fun. This year she's been wearing a shorter, more constructed version of the meat dress during her Born This Way Ball tour, but we have to say we're kiinddd of obsessed with the most recent rendition. Why? 1.) Because, um, it's hilarious and 2.) It actually makes us hungry. Like, we're salivating right now, and it makes us feel weird. But what do you think—do you like Lady Gaga's hot dog dress or should she just stick to one meat frock in her wardrobe?

Lady GaGa tweets old demo 'No Floods' following hurricane

2012-11-04T23:32:00.001-08:00

The song, titled 'No Floods', has been available online since 2009, but the New York-born singer tweeted a link to the track following the impact of former hurricane Sandy on her home city.

"i wrote this song when i was 16. so weird to hear it now because of hurricane, (sic)"she posted."'NO FLOODS' hope this will cheer u up."

GaGa has been tweeting her support for residents affected by the storm throughout the week. She told fans that many of her family remained in New York City during the gale force winds and heavy rain and even joked that thanks to the name of the cyclone she would "never watchGreaseagain".

"i know its gonna be ok, but that water flooding downtown while my friends are sitting in the dark is making me sad,"she said."i love you new york.

"i'll be there as soon as i can to help my old neighborhood. I'm on tour + can't let my fans down. I want to help with my hands with all of u."

Earlier this week,GaGa wrote an open letterexpressing her devastation at the damage caused by the storm.

On Friday (November 2),NBC aired a telethon -Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together- which featured musical guests including Christina Aguilera, Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen. According to the network, the fundraiser has so far generated over $23m (£14.4m) for The American Red Cross, which is working to help victims of the disaster.

Live Nation Gifts Lady Gaga a 757 Jet

2012-11-04T23:27:00.004-08:00

Lady Gaga was gifted a 757 jet by Live Nation. It was likely just a loaner to get her from A to B in luxury, and to express their appreciation at working with her, but who cares? She had her own darn jet for at least a night, complete with her name embroidered on the towels/head rests on the seats. While it was may not have been good for the environment, it was good for Gaga and her ego! She works hard for her money!

She shared internal and external photos of the jet and the catering on her Facebook page, and even shared a photo of herself, in red, white and blue sequins, with statement, bold eyebrows.

She posted: “Thanks for believing in Born This Way. Thank you Live Nation and monsters. hope u feel like I’m sharing this w u.”

Well, yeah, she was sharing the photos with us, but she wasn’t exactly sharing the experience with us. Now maybe if we had a seat on the plane, a bite of the eats that were being served and a backstage pass to Born This Way Ball tour, we might feel totally included but realize that’s not exactly realistic. We get it. We can dream though, right?

What do you think PoPCrushers? Is a jet excessive? Or does Gaga deserve it for all of her hard work?

Lady Gaga Bikini: Mother Monster Poses In Miller Lite Bathing Suit And Reveals 'I Fear Swimwear' (PHOTOS)

2012-11-04T23:26:00.002-08:00

Lady Gaga is never shy about showing off her famous figure, but apparently she isn't so confident in a bikini.

The pop star, 26, took to Twitter on Friday (Nov. 2) to share some photos of her and some friends hanging out on the beach. But despite what her little monsters think, Gaga is not a fan of bathing suits.

"me on the beach today," she tweeted, posting a picture of herself sporting a Miller Lite swimsuit. "i have a fear of swimwear," she added, "but beer is ok."

But although she might hate bikinis, Mother Monster kept sharing pictures, adding two more on her Instagram account.

"I fear beachwear but a Starlight reminded me miller light goes all the way," she wrote.

Gaga has been busy on tour, but did not forget about the devastation her hometown of New York has been facing after Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast hard on Oct. 29.

"east coast how are you holding up? How are you New York? Staying strong i hope, thinking of you all the time. Can't even watch news feed," she wrote, later adding, "i'll be there as soon as i can to help my old neighborhood. I'm on tour + can't let my fans down. I want to help with my hands with all of u."

Lady Gaga fan site and NBC sites hacked

2012-11-04T23:25:00.000-08:00

WASHINGTON -- Several NBC websites were hacked on Sunday by a person or group calling itself "pyknic" and suggesting a possible link to the cyber-attack group Anonymous.

It appeared that the "defacement" of the affected sub-sites was cleaned up in a couple hours. NBC and its various websites appeared to be functioning normally as of Sunday evening Eastern time. However, older versions maintained by search engines such as Google and Bing still bore the message "hacked by pyknic" - a possible reference to an obscure hacker or "hacktivist" group.

The message said "Remember, remember the fifth of November." That reference suggested a link to Anonymous, a movement of cyber rebels which has appropriated much of the symbolism around Britain's upcoming Guy Fawkes Day, a holiday meant to mark the failed plot to blow up the country's parliament in 1605.

However, conclusively determining responsibility for such attacks can be nearly impossible.

Also defaced by "pyknic" Sunday was a Lady Gaga fan site, Gaga Daily, an act which drew a sympathetic message from the pop star on Twitter.

"My little angels! help is on the way," the message read, adding that "haus of gaga techies will be on it ... to the rescue. calling them now."

The site was soon restored.

Anonymous and its offshoot Lulz Security have been linked to a number of high-profile computer attacks and crimes, including many that were meant to embarrass governments, federal agencies and corporate giants.

Spokesmen for NBC Universal declined to comment. An FBI spokesman didn't immediately return a telephone message seeking comment.

Lady Gaga: "Adele Is Bigger Than Me" But No One Talks About It

2012-11-02T21:04:00.004-07:00

Lady Gaga feels she's been unfairly criticized for not maintaining a perfect physique.

The "Born This Way" singer admitted to packing on the pounds in a mid-September radio interview, and since then, she started a "Body Revolution" on her Little Monsters website, where she asked people to embrace their figures and focus on inner beauty. When the 26-year-old spoke with Stylist UK about the movement, she drew attention to another famously curvy musician: British soul singer Adele, 24.

"I was acutely aware of some photos on the internet -- my mom called me and was like, 'Did you gain weight?' -- everybody was telling me about it, and I didn't really care," Gaga recalls. "I thought, well I don't really care if they think I'm fat, because, quite honestly, I did gain about 30 pounds."

She continued, "Adele is bigger than me -- how come nobody says anything about it? She's so wonderful and I think her confidence is something I have to match. She has set the bar very high for a lot of woman. I need to be a confident woman and just say politically active things when I can that are helpful to young people." (Adele and her boyfriend, Simon Konecki, welcomed a baby boy in mid-October.)

The Grammy winner wishes more women would be supportive and encouraging instead of critical and demeaning. "We should all make an effort to be nice to one another all the time," Gaga says.
The native New Yorker (who's dating Chicago Fire star Taylor Kinney) also shared her beauty mantra with Stylist UK. "Sit in front of the mirror with all of the paints and colors and wigs that you have at your disposal, and just have a real talk with yourself. 'What do I not like about me?' And then, peer into the mirror -- and just f-cking draw right over it because that's what makeup is here for. We're not all perfect -- it's meant to be fun so we can bond as women, and say, 'You know, what? We don't all feel perfect, but did you try that lipstick? It's divine.'"

Lady GaGa's Boyfriend: "I'm A Very Lucky Guy"

2012-11-02T21:02:00.003-07:00

Taylor Kinney also reveals he wants to start a family with Mother Monster...

Lady GaGa's other half Taylor Kinney has revealed what it's like to date one of the world's most famous popstars.

Kinney - who met GaGa when he starred alongside the 26-year old in her You And I video - has told The Sun that he fell for the eccentric star as she reminds him of his mum.

The Vampire Diaries actor is quoted by the tabloid as saying: "I look up to a strong woman, maybe that’s why I fell for GaGa.

“She works incredibly hard and is very strong and inspirational like Mom, with a great work ethic."

Speaking of Lady G's music video, the 31-year old said: "I don’t know if my mum has seen the video I did with GaGa, but I liked working on it. It was really fun, I can tell you."

He went on to reveal that he's keen to start a family with the Poker Face hitmaker, explaining: "I do want to give Mom grandchildren, of course. I think I’d be a good dad, it would be a pleasure.

“I’d love it — and I’m in my 30s now. My mum wants me to get married, and have children of course."

Kinney continued: “She’s met GaGa, we’ve been dating a while, we’re in a committed relationship and I’m really happy in my relationship. I’m a very lucky guy.

“As far as having more of a domestic life and settling down into my relationship we have to see what happens."

WATCH: Lady Gaga Gets Out the Vote for Marriage Equality

2012-11-02T20:58:00.001-07:00

Lady Gaga continues her record of advocacy for LGBT causes with a video urging support for marriage equality in the four states where marriage-related measures are on the ballot Tuesday, BuzzFeed reports.

In the video, released today as part of a social media campaign called The Four 2012, Gaga says, “I just wanted to remind those of you who live in Maine, Minnesota, Washington, or Maryland that you can actually vote for marriage equality on the ballot this year.”

In Maine, Maryland, and Washington, voters will decide whether to affirm marriage equality in their states, while in Minnesota, they will decide whether to put a ban on same-sex marriage into the state constitution.

“No one speaks more to young people than Lady Gaga,” said Brian Ellner, a cofounder of The Four. “And they support equality more than any other group. If we are going to win and make marriage equality history on Tuesday in all four states, we need young people to get out and vote in record numbers.”

Added fellow cofounder Ryan Davis: “We’re reaching millions of young voters in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, and Washington over the next four days, focusing on getting out the vote, and Lady Gaga has just become a major amplifier of equality.”

Lady Gaga’s ‘ARTPOP’ Has A Possibly Feminist Song Called “G.U.Y. (Girl Under You)”

2012-11-01T20:59:00.000-07:00

In Lady Gaga‘s recent interview with Britain’s Stylist, (the same one in which she talked about her “bathtub outfit”), the singer revealed her forthcoming project ARTPOP contains a sexually empowering song called “G.U.Y. (Girl Under You).” However, in the interview it was relayed as “Go Under You,” so Gaga took to her Little Monsters site to clarify the name. Gaga mentioned the song when asked about feminism, and her answer involved the phrase “edible things between your limbs.” So you’re gonna want to click through for her full quote.

When asked “Can make-up and feminism ever truly be friends?” Gaga responded by explaining her form of feminism:
As a new-age feminist, I would say I quite like the transference of strength I feel by submitting to a man – being under him. I actually wrote a song about it on my album, it’s called GUY and it stands for [Girl] Under You. So wearing make-up, smelling delicious and having suckable, kissable, edible things between your limbs is something I find strengthening because I know that when I pick the right guy, I can let him have it. Some women feel oppressed by make-up and clothing, and here’s to them, they have every right to feel that way as well.”

Back in September, three other potential ARTPOP song titles popped up online — “Candy Art,” “Cold Hearted Bitch” and “CRWTH”— and Mother Monster also confirmed the album would contain a “Telephone” sequel. But the goal now is to find out which volume of the record all these songs may appear on.

Lady GaGa Almost Topless in Cannabis Queen Halloween Costume

2012-11-01T20:57:00.002-07:00

Lady GaGa was really comfortable in her own skin. She didn't feel shy to show off her bare chest as she dressed up as a weed when attending a Halloween party this week. "So i was weed for halloween. BEST COSTUME EVER ITS SO FUN," the 26-year-old singer tweeted.

GaGa continued, "Princess High the Cannabis Queen. Photos of party on http://littlemonsters.com/ shortly. and NO 'shortly' is not the new 'SOON.' searches for camera USB in hotel robe with bad hair and hangover. last night was paradise."

The "Born This Way" singer wore a green tutu-skirt with a long green wig. She just covered her nipples with what looked like green stars. Calling herself "Cannabis Queen," she also pretended to smoke pot.

While GaGa was having fun in the party, people noticed that she had lost some weight. It's just a month after she said that she gained some weight. "I was acutely aware of some photos on the internet - my mum called me and was like, 'Did you gain weight?' - everybody was telling me about it, and I didn't really care," she said back then to Stylist magazine.

"I thought, well I don't really care if they think I'm fat, because, quite honestly, I did gain about 30 pounds. I need to be a confident woman and just say politically active things when I can that are helpful to young people," she added.

Lady Gaga Has One Goal With ARTPOP: To 'Make History'

2012-11-01T20:56:00.000-07:00

Mother Monster's longtime collaborator RedOne opens up to MTV News about her 2013 album.

Lady Gaga and RedOne have cooked up many a jam over the years, from their early work on tracks like "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" back in the day to their more recent, in-your-face hit "Judas." The collaborators have often pushed each other and musical boundaries for the sake of their art.

And that's no different this time around, as Gaga continues to work on her 2013 album release, ARTPOP. For her latest project, she's hooking up with producers Zedd, DJ White Shadow, Fernando Garibay and, of course, RedOne, who told MTV News that he and Gaga been doing a lot of their work remotely as they cross the globe for work and pleasure.

Zedd Talks Lady Gaga Recording Sessions
"We've been sending ideas," he said. "We couldn't get together in the studio, but we've been sending ideas back and forth, and it's very focused on writing really good songs and, of course, with the vibe of different sounds, different kinds of productions."

While her Little Monsters are anxiously awaiting what this next project, her first since 2011's Born This Way, might sound like, the producer didn't want to reveal too much about their work together as they continue to nail down tracks and the album's overall vibe.

"I don't want to say so much, because I don't know what's going to happen. To be honest with you, I don't know what's going to happen with the songs. ... My intent is the same thing: make history. If we don't feel like this is part of history again, we're not going to do it, but we're enjoying [the process]. We love doing music, so it will be interesting to see what's going to happen."

Like always, the twosome are stepping up their game to create something that sounds nothing like what they've done before — or, at least, RedOne hopes that's what they're doing.

"I don't want to promise anything ... but, of course, that's always the intent," he said. "To be honest with you, it's all about good songs. You can go crazy as you want sonically, which is always what I try to do ... but it's always about good songs. Number one is to make a dance song that is like 'Oh my God!' "

Lady Gaga May Release Two 'Volumes' Of ARTPOP

2012-10-31T23:53:00.000-07:00

Gaga says she's contemplating splitting the album into two, with one 'commercial' side and another 'experimental' side.

Lady Gaga has been collaborating with an alphabetical assortment of talent in recent months — everyone from Azealia Banks to Zedd — so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to learn that her upcoming ARTPOP album might end up being split into two volumes.

That's according to the Mother Monster herself, who broke the news in a chat hosted on her LittleMonsters.com site. Apparently, some of the tracks Gaga is working on for her new album are so out there that she's contemplating turning it into a two-disc affair, with one part "experimental" tracks, and the other, more traditional, radio-friendly fare.

"It's a bit more modern. You never know if radio is ready," Gaga said. "I can't decide how to tracklist it yet. Sort of thinking that volume one should have all the commercial songs and save the experimental material for volume two."

It's not clear if Gaga meant she'd be releasing ARTPOP as a double-disc set, or if she plans on splitting the album up into two separate volumes. MTV News' email to her reps seeking clarification was not responded to by press time.

Gaga also told fans that there will be a corresponding ARTPOP app, and while details are scarce, she promised that it would definitely blow people's minds.

"The app is coming along amazing. I'm flying back to Chicago to work on it," she said. "The developers on ARTPOP are all like 22 and genius kids. You'd be surprised how many genius Little Monsters there are."

Lady Gaga Devastated by Storm Sandy: "My Childhood Is Under Water"; Celebs Keep Tweeting Thoughts and Prayers

2012-10-31T23:51:00.003-07:00

As a native New Yorker, Lady Gaga is lamenting the state of her city in the wake of Sandy, the post-tropical storm that wreaked havoc up and down the East Coast this week.

"im not sure where to put these feelings," the pop star wrote on her Little Monsters blog today. "im so sad. i feel like my entire childhood is underwater. the boardwalk in atlantic city, my old Apts in Brooklyn and LES. all the bars and friends.

"im just so sad," she continued. "i know it will be ok. im not sure why i feel this way. maybe homesickness, or maybe its easier to be a gypsy if you know your soul grows from somewhere great. and that great place protected me my whole life, now parts are destroyed. just very sad and pensive today. thinking of everyone today."

Oliver Stone's opinion on the storm is, what do you know, controversial
Rest assured, Gaga is hardly alone as celebs, politicians and those with decidedly lesser profiles in New York and beyond have banded together to send support—of the monetary and moral variety—to those affected by the devastation.

Here's a sampling of the latest tweets from the star-studded corner of the

Twitterverse:

Judah Friedlander: " 'The hurricane was a brutal. My cable went out for 10 minutes.' - out of touch upper east sider. #Sandy #hurricane"

Lady Gaga likes to 'submit' to a man

2012-10-31T23:49:00.003-07:00

Lady Gaga thinks of herself as a 'new-age feminist' who is capable of 'submitting' to a man.

The 'Judas' singer - who is currently dating 'Chicago Fire' actor Taylor Kinney - believes she is a new kind of feminist who is empowered in her career but enjoys to be dominated sexually.

She said: 'As a new age feminist, I would say I quite like the transference of strength I feel by submitting to a man - being under him. I actually wrote a song about it on my album, it's called 'GUY' and it stands for Go Under You.

'So wearing make-up, smelling delicious and having suckable, kissable, edible things between your limbs is something I find strengthening because I know that when I pick the right guy, I can let him have it.'

The eccentric pop superstar has always combined her music with lavish outfits and unique clothes - including the infamous meat dress she wore to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.

But although she believes she can make political and social statements through fashion, Gaga admits she enjoys nothing more than being naked in a bath and smoking marijuana.

The 26-year-old musician told Stylist magazine: 'I just take a warm bath, smoke a doob, lay back and relax, you know?

'When I'm in the bath, naked, in a sea of bubbles going , 'Aahh', that is most me - when I'm sighing out the whole day into a warm bath.'

Lady Gaga Tells New York 'I Love You' Amid Hurricane Sandy

2012-10-30T21:31:00.001-07:00

As storm floods parts of the Big Apple, the pop star shares her well-wishes for family, friends and fans in the city.

Hurricane Sandy left a devastating wake as it barreled its way across the Northeast Tuesday morning (October 30). So far, at least 16 people have died in and more than 7 million homes were left without power. New York City, perhaps one of the hardest-hit areas, has been completely shut down as parts of the city were flooded and public transit was down.

New York City native Lady Gaga, who was not home when Sandy hit, took to an otherwise empty Twitterverse to send her well-wishes to her family, friends and fans in New York City.

Lady Gaga's Love Of New York Begins

"i know its gonna be ok, but that water flooding downtown while my friends are sitting in the dark is making me sad. i love you new york," she tweeted. New York's Battery Park, along with areas of the Lower East Side and Alphabet City, began flooding on Monday. Pictures on Twitter showed cars floating in the street at Eighth Street and Avenue C.

Gaga is currently making rounds on her Born This Way Ball. Her next show is scheduled for Tuesday night in San Juan, Puerto Rico. And even though she escaped the wrath of Sandy, she made it clear that there is no place she'd rather be but home. "#SandyNeedsToSitDown miss you mom, dad, natali and all my friends. :( i wanna be there in the rain with you," Gaga shared.

While Gaga did express concern for New York (and added that she's "never watching Grease again"), she made it clear that if any city can make it through Sandy, it's her hometown.

"its such a testament to New York that none of my friends or family members have left," Gaga tweeted. "not even my blind grandma in NJ."

Lady Gaga and Calvin Harris Finally Apologise After Twitter Feud

2012-10-30T21:30:00.001-07:00

Lady Gaga and Calvin Harris have finally apologised to each other after trading insults yesterday during a Twitter argument.

The 'Poker Face' star recently confronted the producer and DJ after he claimed to have turned her down for a collaboration.

'We Found Love' hitmaker Harris told BBC Breakfast that he had turned down the opportunity to work with Gaga before she hit the big time in 2008 with ‘Just Dance’. He also went on to claim that he didn’t like the album cuts she had emailed to him.

Lady Gaga took to Twitter to say, "Seems to be trendy lately to talk sh*t about. "Lady Gaga. when your albums/singles drop. Y’all should live off your own hustle. #Ido’

The pop star later tweeted: "Music is mortal if it has no integrity behind it. I’m interested in making the immortal kind. Never even emailed you @calvinharris I guess it’s hard to believe I write + produce my music. Cuz I’m a woman I don’t know about EDM right?"

In response to the Twitter slams, the DJ responded with "No your label emails me. I always make sure I say Im a fan when asked about it, I apologise if I offended u, wasn’t the intention."

Taking a leap out of Harris’s book and making peace on Twitter, Lady Gaga replied with "Thanks for the apology & explaining. My apologies too. Congratulation on your album. Wish”Tyou well. Cheers."

It seems all of Lady Gaga’s monsters backed up their idol resulting in Calvin later saying ‘Jeez you turn down one remix in 2008 and next thing the whole world’s on your back.’

The pair are sailing on their releases with Lady Gaga currently on her ‘Born This Way Ball’ world tour and Calvin Harris released his new album ’18 Months’ yesterday (October 29). The album features collaborations with Rihanna, Florence Welch, Dizzee Rascal and Ellie Goulding.

Tony Bennett: Lady Gaga “One Of The Best Jazz Singers…Ever,” Recording Album Together

2012-10-30T21:28:00.002-07:00

Lady Gaga will re-team with the legendary Tony Bennett to record a jazz album that, according to Bennett, will show Gaga in a very flattering light.

“It’s going to really reaffirm that she’s one of the best jazz singers that anyone’s ever heard,” the 86-year-old singer told Billboard.

The two sang a rousing rendition of “The Lady Is a Tramp” for Bennett’s 2011 album, Duets II. After the experience, Gaga told her dad that she wanted to “do a jazz album with Tony Bennett.” Papa Gaga then called Mr. Bennett while his daughter was on tour in Australia.

The album will follow after Bennett’s Viva Duets and the Lady’s ARTPOP.

Lady Gaga flirts with releasing two volumes of 'ARTPOP'

2012-10-30T21:27:00.002-07:00

Lady GLady Gaga has big plans for “ARTPOP,” which, as we can tell by the use of all CAPS for its title, will be a very, very, very important album.

In a talk with her followers on LittleMonsters.com, she is considering releasing two volumes of the epic, according to Idolator. The first edition, out in Spring, and dubbed by LG as “VOL 1,” “should have all the commercial songs, and then save the experimental material. [But] to be honest even the experimental stuff is catchy. VOL 1 is a bit more modern.” She would release the experimental version a few months later.

Here’s the thing about Lady Gaga: she has, to her credit, really helped redefine the parameters of pop over the last few years. She plays with sonics, time signatures, and busts the door down on preconceived notions, so while a traditional and experimental versions may be smart marketing tools or, let’s give her credit, better expressions of how she’s like for her music to be presented, there’s no need to separate the two in our book.

During her chat, she also revealed a few details: “Princess Die,” a ballad that addresses suicide that she premiered on the road, will not likely make either volume. “I don’t think ‘Princess Die’ will make the cut, but I wrote another version of ‘Princess Die’ that is uptempo. ‘Princess Die’ isn’t as good as all the other songs I wrote.”

She also noted there is a “hip-hop/j-pop/pop song” on the album that is “more underground Chicago gay club trap” than traditional hip-hop.

We also know from previous communiques from Lady Gaga, that she has collaborated with both Kendrick Lamar and Azealia Banks and that the album will include some kind of sequel to “Telephone,” with or without Beyonce.

Who knows, maybe there will even be a collaboration with Calvin Harris after LG and the Scottish DJ kissed and made up yesterday via Twitter.

Lady GaGa confronts Calvin Harris on Twitter over duet claims

2012-10-29T23:27:00.001-07:00

Lady GaGa has denied Calvin Harris's claims that she e-mailed him for a collaboration.

The DJ revealed that he declined the opportunity to work with GaGa before she became a global star in 2008 as he didn't like the songs he was sent.

The musician told BBC Breakfast that the tracks he received were album cuts and that he wasn't sent any of the songs which would go on to become Lady GaGa's biggest hits.

However, GaGa was quick to deny the claims she e-mailed him and took offence to his rejection of working together.

"never even emailed you @calvinharris I guess it's hard to believe I write + produce my music. cuz I'm a woman I don't know about EDM right?" GaGa tweeted.

Harris responded: "@ladygaga no your label emailed me. I always make sure I say Im a fan when asked about it, I apologise if I offended u, wasn't the intention."

GaGa replied: "@CalvinHarris thanks for the apology &explaining. My apologies too. Congratulations on your album. Wish you well. Cheers."

Harris's third studio album 18 Months was released in the UK today (October 29) and will be available in the US at a later date.

Lady Gaga Manager, Photographer Terry Richardson Team Up to Launch Pop Water

2012-10-29T23:21:00.001-07:00

Atom Factory's Troy Carter conceived of the healthier alternative to sugary soft drinks after discussing music initiatives with Coca-Cola and Pepsi. The new beverage will launch in early 2013.

Troy Carter, founder and CEO of entertainment company Atom Factory and manager of Lady Gaga, and photographer Terry Richardson are teaming up for a new consumer product, Pop Water, set for an early 2013 debut. The new beverage will be marketed as a healthier alternative to sugary soft drinks -- an 11.2 oz can will contain 30 calories and 7 grams of sugar. Initial flavors will include apple, orange, pineapple and grape.

Richardson, a fashion photographer whose sometimes sexually explicit work has stirred controversy, will serve as the brand's creative director.

Carter tells Billboard the idea for Pop Water resulted from the various conversations his company had with Pepsi and Coca-Cola over the years regarding their respective music initiatives. "We noticed none of the brands had music in their DNA," he says. "We felt we could build something with relevance to music and pop culture if we built something from scratch. Whether it's flying to Kentucky with food scientists or flying around the world sourcing the packaging, the last two years has been an education for us in the beverage space."

Pop Water will start with a soft January launch in Southern California before expanding nationally later in 2013. Musicians are expected to play a part of the marketing as well, though Carter was light on details. "We're talking to a bunch of music and pop culture icons who've tasted the beverage. We're gonna have a lot of support behind this," he says.

Using musicians to launch a new beverage is an increasingly common practice in the spirits industry, where everyone from Diddy (Ciroc vodka), Kid Rock (Jim Beam's Red Stag) and Jay-Z (Ace of Spades champagne) have all lent their names, likenesses and even investments to help products get off the ground. But that trend was really sparked by 50 Cent's early 10 percent stake in Vitamin Water, which ballooned in value after the beverage was sold to Coca-Cola for $1.2 billion in 2007. The rapper eventually received a cashout worth an estimated $60 to $100 million.

Not every music-beverage pairing has been a hit, however. Jermaine Dupri's partnership with soy-based 3 Vodka fell apart, and Lil Jon recently folded his Little Jonathan Winery in 2011. Pharrell Williams' Qream vodka, a partnership with Diageo that launched in mid-2011, sold fewer than 200 cases by the end of the year, while the Pitbull-backed Voli Vodka sold about 300 cases in 2011 following the rapper's involvement (Fergie has sine come on as an investor and spokesperson.)

Though Pop Water will have celebrity faces, they won't be of the typical "sip-and ah!" variety. "The idea is not to be just an endorsement but to be a part of people's lives," Carter says. "Endorsements, where they're just one-offs feels like the artists just got a check for it. For us, we set out to make something that's a lot healthier than what's in the market. It's really hard to get 30 calories to taste good."

And ultimately, Carter feels the biggest opportunity for Pop Water is to market itself around the current healthy-food movement. "We see what's happening in New York with Mayor Bloomberg and this consciousness throughout the country where people want to get healthier, looking for alternatives," he says. "When we saw what was happening with Subway and how they completely disrupted McDonald's…it's a bigger movement than what we expected."

Lady Gaga likened to Isabella Blow

2012-10-29T23:19:00.003-07:00

Lady Gaga's unique perception of beauty and fashion allowed Philip Treacy to unleash his creativity, the hat designer has revealed.

Lady Gaga is a "pop version" of late fashion icon Isabella Blow, Philip Treacy says.

The quirky singer recently opened the famous hat designer's first catwalk presentation in a decade and paid homage to Blow by wearing one of her dresses.

Treacy revealed that the collaboration was the fashion-loving Born This Way star's idea - and he was thrilled to have her on board.

"I went to see Lady Gaga backstage after seeing her at Twickenham [for the Born This Way Ball tour], and I was telling her about the show and then she just suggested it. It was all her idea. She was going to be in Dublin the night before, so she said that she'd fly over for it. Playing to 80,000 people on one night and then appearing in my show the next? Amazing. Of course I agreed," he told Vogue. "She had this whole concept, she said she was feeling like Isabella.

She rang me on her way to the show to apologise for being late - you never see that any more. She really is like a 21st Century pop version of Isabella Blow."
Treacy also praised Gaga for her unique take on fashion.

The singer is known for her eccentric outfits and her perception of style allowed the milliner to go all out with his designs.

"She's a really fun person to work with," he continued. "She has a different sensibility - a different idea of what's perfect and beautiful. She allows me to be really creative and brings my designs to a whole new audience."
