Lady GaGa promises to dress respectfully in Israel



Lady GaGa has vowed to tone down her trademark provocative outfits during her first visit to conservative Israel.

The singer is know for her outrageous costumes, and has previously showed off plenty of flesh in thigh-high latex boots, hot pants and even a corset made of transparent bubbles.

But the pop star told reporters at a press conference in Tel Aviv on Monday that she intends to remain covered up while touring Jerusalem, which she called “sacred and holy.”

The 23-year-old, wearing a leather jacket with spikes in the shape of a Star of David to cover her skimpy top, revealed her plans to swim in the Dead Sea, calling her trip “an emotional and spiritual experience.”
She also said she was more excited to see the capital than to “get drunk in a bar,” but admitted she might “get drunk in Jerusalem.”

The singer is due to conclude her Fame Ball tour in Tel Aviv on Wednesday.

Lady Gaga Says She’s ‘Inclined Toward A More Gay Lifestyle’

 

Lady Gaga has never been one to shy away from the topic of sexuality. Whether it’s her barely there outfits, her double-entendre-laden lyrics (infer from “I’m bluffin’ with my muffin” what you will), or her onstage escapades, she’s more than willing to discuss, dissect or display sex.

 

And in the September issue of Out magazine, Gaga gets deep, addressing rumors about her own sexuality — specifically, her supposed preference for women — her lifelong immersion in gay culture and how both of those things have helped make her the very fabulous star she is today.

 

“I had a few gay piano teachers. I was in acting class and ballet from a very young age, and I remember being around a lot of gay boys in dance class. I feel intrinsically inclined toward a more gay lifestyle,” she tells the magazine. “I myself am not a gay woman — I am a free-spirited woman: I have had boyfriends, and I have hooked up with women, but it’s never been like, ‘I discovered gayness when I was dot dot dot.’ ”

 

She also spoke at length about her devotion to the gay community, which has supported her since she was a scruffy Lower East Side performance artist. It’s why, before she agreed to tour with Kanye West, she sat him down and told him that she intended to put on a very gay show … and nothing was going to change that.

 

“When I started in the mainstream, it was the gays that lifted me up,” she told the magazine. “I committed myself to them and they committed themselves to me, and because of the gay community, I’m where I am today

Lady GaGa was booed before and after her V Festival Stafford performance tonight (August 22), as she was late going on stage.

 

The notoriously over-the-top singer caused mass boos after she kept the packed Arena tent waiting 15 minutes past her allotted stage time, with several fans shining their laser pens on the stage backdrop in protest.

 

When the singer still didn’t come onstage, a large collection of fans started slow hand-clapping her.

 

Eventually, after a further five minutes, the lights dimmed, the backdrop fell to the ground and Lady GaGa appeared in the middle of the stage bathed in smoke, causing the crowds boos to change into cheers. Launching into former Number One hit ‘Paparazzi’, the singer made no apologies for coming onstage late. “England!” She screamed during the track, resulting in mass cheers from the crowd.

 

With the set seemingly back to normal, the singer instructed the audience to “Dance, you motherf***ers!” ahead of singing an acapella and improvised song about how much she loved England.

 

“My name is Lady GaGa, I’ve been so excited to play V,” she said before telling the crowd that it didn’t matter how much money they had in their pockets and launching into ‘Beautiful Dirty Rich’.

 

She then left the stage as her band played an instrumental interlude. After a short while, two dancers wheeled the flamboyant singer back on, although this time she was wearing a huge wedding hat and oversized sparkly gown. For the next track, ‘Boys Boys Boys’, Gaga stood motionless at the front of the stage before stripping down from her stage clothes to just a pair of red knickers and bra, resulting in large cheers from most of the crowd. After playing a singalong version of ‘Just Dance’, the singer left the stage once again.

 

When she returned, she was covered head to toe in diamonds. As she sat at a silver piano, she took the opportunity to pay tribute to the audience.

 

“I live for nothing more than my fans, you guys are the f***ing coolest fans on the planet,” she said.

 

Lady GaGa then played a piano-led version of ‘Poker Face’, again managing to big up England during the track. “I always have pies, chips and mushy peas when I’m here…” she sang at one point during it. However, she had to cut the song short part way through, apologising to the crowd.

 

“I’m so sorry, but I have to go. I’m so sorry, but I love you so much,” she said before taking a bow and leaving the stage for the final time. As she did, fans again booed the singer, though she showed no reaction.

 

Lady GaGa played:

 

‘Paparazzi’

‘The Fame’

‘Beautiful Dirty Rich’

‘Interlude’

‘I Love England’

‘Boys Boys Boys’

‘Just Dance’

‘Interlude’

‘Poker Face’

This story is a complete lie I just watched her V performance on tv and she sang the entire Poker Face. The press print any $h!te.

 

 

Well on Twitter she said:

 

Stage manager pulled the plug because I was 5 minutes over my time at V fest. Show was incredible. Ashame people have no respect for music.

My fans were lovely and really deserved to hear pokerface. I love you and I'm sorry. X

Just spoke to this girl I know who went on the Saturday and she said GaGa did part of Poker Face on the piano but then they forced her off so she didn't get to do the full version. :( Those vids are from the second day where she obviously had better time-keeping and did her whole set.

Part 1:

 

Part 2:

 

Gorgeous. :heart:

I'm cringing so bad for that guy. :lol: He's lucky she was in a good mood that day.

Going ‘Gaga’ in Macau with pop’s musical misfit

 

Lady Gaga on Talk Asia: CNN’s interview with Lady Gaga will be broadcast in September.

 

There are no downsides to fame, said Lady Gaga, the singer and currently one of the hottest things in pop.

 

For someone whose debut album called “The Fame” has reached No. 4 in the Billboard charts and has two of the year’s biggest selling singles, it’s not a surprising statement.

 

But talking in Macau before her final concert of her Asian tour, it seemed that if not fame itself, its handmaidens — media scrutiny and touring — might be taking their toll on the 23-year-old.

 

Gaga (real name Stefani Germanotta) arrived for the interview backstage at the Venetian Hotel’s concert arena suitably attired; wrapped in a Vivienne Westwood outfit and propped up in enormous Galliano heels. With gargantuan shades covering half her face, the avant-garde fashionista image was intact.

 

“I’m sort of a musical pop music misfit,” she said in her slow New York drawl, and “a relentless bitch” in response to how she had got to the top of the music industry.

 

She claims Lady Gaga is not a persona and it seems she is committed to living as closely to the wild fantasy shown in her videos. More at home on the stage than in the interview chair –”We could sit here and talk, but you will never know who I am unless you see me live” — even Gaga’s faithful make-up artist (in attendance throughout the interview) thought she was crazy because she sleeps in her wigs.

 

Was it to keep the persona up, stay in character? No, “I just like wigs,” she said with an unintentional comic deadpan.

 

She’s gone from art school dropout performing in clubs in the Lower East Side of Manhattan to the edge of global stardom with her infectious dance tunes and an intriguing and outlandish image. It’s an image that has been carefully concocted; part performance artist, part sexualized pop automaton who feeds on pop culture iconography, digests and adapts it.

 

“Tabloids were my text books, I’d tear out pages. I embrace pop culture; everything that people say is poisonous, ostentatious and shallow. It’s like my chemistry book. I look though everything and make what I believe is art out of it,” she said.

 

Assisting in her pop alchemy is the Haus of Gaga, her inner circle that encompasses designers, producers and those she’s close to. As well as her make-up artist, her manager was also in close attendance during the shoot. While we weren’t allowed a further glimpse into the “Haus,” her coterie exhibited tendencies more like a support group than put-upon workers dealing with diva demands.

 

If fantasy has a prominent place in the world of Gaga, then the amorphous idea of fame is running the show. She name-checked pop artist Andy Warhol as an inspiration for the way he made commercial art as respected as fine art. No mention was made on his ideas on the fleeting nature of fame itself.

 

“Ambition and longevity are in my blood,” she said, and having written the songs on “The Fame” as well as tunes for Britney Spears and The Pussycat Dolls, she has the musical talent to elevate her above the industry’s disposable pop starlets.

 

“I must remain prolific and relevant… but equally irrelevant,” she said as a gnomic strategy for maintaining success. But great anecdotes about how she came up with certain ideas for costumes that involved running around the woods naked in Hawaii sounded more like a real person and less arch.

 

Yet her contention that fame can do no wrong was shaken by one question at the end of the interview. Aware that more people wanted to know more about her the longer she’s in the public eye — “I find I’m being probed a bit more” — Internet rumors have been spreading.

 

While helpful for fueling media interest and the enigma of Lady Gaga, among the most fantastic things circulating out there is that she’s a brain-washed puppet of the Illuminati, another is that she is a hermaphrodite. The question was asked how does feel when she reads things like the latter.

 

The atmosphere changed.

 

“I’m not even going to answer that,” was her response after a protracted pause, while off camera her manager expressed shock at the question, demanding it not be aired (a demand she later retracted only after plenty of discussion).

 

Gaga herself said the cameras should be turned off, the interview over. They weren’t and it wasn’t. Things were quickly, if uncomfortably, smoothed over for the sake of one more question to “end on a positive note,” according to the manager.

 

Composure regained, “You can ask me about scrutiny, but I’d prefer if you didn’t…” Gaga said.

 

Was the reaction a studied response to fuel more controversy? It didn’t seem so, it was personal and had struck a nerve. Yet her response to the reworded question on scrutiny was like a switch had been flicked and she was back on message:

 

“There are no downsides,” she said before launching into slightly an anecdote that involved getting advice from Grace Jones while she washed her feet.

Her outfit is absolutely GODLY. <3

Lady GaGa Writing For Michael Bolton

http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/7746/bolton.jpg

She's known for her ever-bizarre style – think capes made of Kermits, elephant shaped hairdos and sci-fi spandex get-ups – but Lady Gaga has really shocked us this time, with news of an unpredictable collaboration.

While the songstress has previously teamed up with the likes of Marilyn Manson, her latest musical partner is none other than Michael Bolton!

Gaga is currently working with the crooner, writing tunes for his new album, One World One Love.

Speaking to Metro, Bolton revealed it was the Poker Face singer who approached him: 'I was taking a break from production when my manager and the label tag-teamed me on the phone about writing with a young artist named Lady Gaga who I had never heard of – but they were raving about – they said that she was a huge fan of mine and wanted to write with me.'

As for meeting the Lady herself, he added, 'When I met her in the studio later that night, I realised she was not only about to have a big hit record but Gaga was a superstar about to launch – her energy was so high and her focus excited me. She reminded me of a young Madonna – with more exuberance and emphasis on the art rather than the marketing.

Lady Gaga Inspired By Princess Diana, Faith No More

 

Thanks to her outsize ambition, Lady Gaga has been compared to any number of famous blondes, including Britney Spears and Madonna. But it turns out that Gaga most identified with another golden-tressed lady when she shot her video for “Paparazzi.”

 

Princess Diana was the reference point for her VMA-nominated “Paparazzi” clip, Gaga said in her V magazine cover story. Her accompanying photo spread was shot by Mario Testino, who regularly photographed the princess while she was alive.

 

“Yes, Diana was the most iconic martyr of fame,” she says in the September issue. “She died because of it.”

 

As for all those other blondes that people are quick to compare her to, well, Gaga said, that’s just lazy. “Look, when I was a brunette, they called me Amy Winehouse. Then they called me Christina, then Gwen. I just don’t think most people’s reference points go back very far.”

 

Although Gaga may get slightly peeved when she’s compared to Madonna or Britney, it’s the moments when she’s recognized by people who play a completely different genre of music that tickle her fancy. When she found out that Faith No More covered one of her songs, she was ecstatic.

 

“I love Faith No More! Their song ‘Epic’ was my burlesque number at the bar I used to work at! I used to fog myself and dance to it,” she recalled. “When I found out they did ‘Poker Face,’ I was like, ‘Sh–!’ ”

 

Her newfound fame means that sometimes she also finds herself in tabloid magazines being critiqued for her odd sense of fashion. But she isn’t concerned by what gossip editors have to say about her. “Us Weekly putting me on the worst-dressed list, I could care less,” she said. “If Karl Lagerfeld called me an ugly hag, then I’d be upset. Because it’s Karl Lagerfeld.”

 

She went on to say that people may have also misinterpreted her look and aesthetic. “To us, it’s just beautiful,” she said. “The idea that Gaga is just kooky for the sake of being kooky is so wrong.”

 

Things are about to change for the Gaga stage show once she hits the road for her tour with Kanye West in October. She told the magazine that the duo are “exploring aesthetics and new technology that neither of us have traveled, and we are attempting an epic story.”

Lady Gaga says outfits could get wilder

 

 

NYDailyNews.com – The songstress says her outrageous outfits and wacky hair styles may get even wilder in the next few months, regardless of what anyone says.

 

“Us Weekly putting me on the worst-dressed list? I couldn’t care less,” she says in the latest V mag. “If Karl Lagerfeld called me an ugly hag, then I’d be upset. Because it’s Karl Lagerfeld!”

 

Among her most scrutinized fashion choices is the now-infamous exploding bra, debuted at a show in Toronto. “I called [my tailor] up from Hawaii, and I was like, ‘We need to make my t- blow up!’” says Gaga. “And he made it happen.”

 

We wonder what Lagerfeld thought about that accessory.

Lady GaGa's Vagina Is Offended!

 

While making the rounds to promote her solo headlining Australian tour, Lady GaGa was interviewed by a Brisbane morning radio show and, sure enough, the question about her lady parts made its way into the conversation.

 

Naturally, she handled herself well when the DJ asked, "where are we at the tiny penis issue right now, Lady Gaga?"

 

Her response?

 

"My beautiful vagina is very offended. I'm not offended — my vagina is offended."

 

LOLs!

 

When asked if she was embarrassed at all about the rumors floating around, GaGa says in her calm, cool demeanor: "I've sold four million records in six months. I'm not embarrassed about anything."

 

Snap!

 

GaGaloo continues with the explanation that the silly rumors are based on "society's reaction to a strong woman — the idea that we equate strength with a man and a penis as a symbol of male strength."

 

Well, she said it all!

 

We love this fierce bitch AND her beautiful vagina!
