Lady Gaga Says Grace Jones Is Her Inspiration
Fuse, Madison Square Garden’s national music television network, is getting up close and personal with today’s top artists in its new one-on-one interview series “On The Record with Fuse.” Their latest victim... Lady GAGA!
Viewers can catch the singer on November 23 at 9pm ET as she sits down to chat about her upcoming tour, her fans and androgyny in women.
On the song PokerFace:
“Well that song was about fantasizing about women when I was in bed with my ex-boyfriend so I didn’t really want him to know because it bothered him, but I couldn’t help myself. And it was me struggling with my sexuality and my, not struggling with I should say, enjoying, celebrating and that was the inspiration behind the song.”
On Androgyny:
“Grace (Jones) is such an inspiration to me, which is why with all the rumors that have flown around over the year, I was always excited because the androgyny of the woman. It’s this kind of fascinating thing that nobody understands or wants to understand unless you’re in the beautiful subculture that is my fans and the gay community.”
On calling her fans “Monsters”:
“I see myself in my fans, and they see themselves in me. I felt like a freak for so long, in school, growing up, you know I wore a uniform, but when I went home I used to put makeup on in the house and I used to sleep with my makeup on. My mother used to say, ‘Where the hell are you going kid?’ And I’d say ‘Well, what do you think of Marilyn today? Or I did Judy Garland today, mom.’ It was my way of expressing myself, so I think that the kids in the audience, they feel like freaks too.”
On her Monster Ball tour:
“There’s a theme of evolution and change. So I begin as a cell and grow throughout the show. Tremendously innovative choreography. Insane fashion installations. It’s of course in the vein of what my aesthetic has become which is the work is always in some sense half performance art, half installation. So it’s both. And we’re doing things that have never been done before. And I’m playing all the music from The Fame, and all of the music from The Fame Monster and I’ve been telling my fans it’s a giant post-apocalyptic house party.”
Anyone planning on catching Lady Gaga's tour?
Love It Or Hate It: Lady Gaga And Beyonce In 'Video Phone'
I don't know... a lot of people are HATING the video for 'Video Phone'... but I doubt it will take away from the success of the tune. I think the song is great and will probably do VERY well on the radio.
The problem with the video is there really isn't an even match between Lady Gaga and Beyonce in it. You can't compete with Beyonce... you just CAN'T. She is dancing and inspiring YouTube videos with each passing second and then Lady Gaga comes and it's just so very plain jane. She's more exciting walking through LAX. The team should have let Lady Gaga BE Lady Gaga and then it would have been something great to watch.
And what's up with the toy guns???
Take a look and let me know what you think.
Lady Gaga Is Ready To Make A Movie
Lady Gaga wants to make a movie. The ‘Poker Face’ singer – who recently made her acting debut in an episode of ‘Gossip Girl’ – is reportedly determined to pursue her dramatic ambitions further and has set her sights on a big-screen musical adventure.
“She sees acting as a natural progression in her career. "One idea she has is for a rock opera which would be a huge, big budget movie made to her own very unique ideas. But she is also keen on straight dramatic roles.
“She has the drive and confidence to make it big as an actress. It's just a matter of finding time when she is not committed to her first love – music.”
What do you think? Would Lady Gaga be a hit at the box office? Or should she just stick to music?

A Peek At Lady Gaga's Upcoming Appearance on 'Gossip Girl'
Back in October, we saw Lady Gaga leaving the 'Gossip Girl' set after completing her scenes in the show. And now here is a short clip of the appearance.
I think they've done a lot to try to beef up the show this season. Between the various guest spots like Hilary Duff, Tyra Banks and now Lady Gaga, to the controversial "threesome" episode. I wonder if it's made a difference in the show's ratings.
This episode will air on Monday, November 16th at 9pm EST.

Lady Gaga Lands At LAX
It's always so dramatic with Lady Gaga isn't it? Just look at her walking through LAX being quite theatrical. Slight movements of the hands, consistent frown, tilted head. I feel like I should be tipping her.
The singer also has her outfit unzipped to below her belly button - thank goodness we had no accidental slips!
Recently, Lady Gaga talked about the process of creating costumes for the upcoming Monster Ball Tour. The group responsible is called 'Haus of Gaga' and the singer considers them family.
"Well, right now, they're downtown in this warehouse designing and making everything for the tour," she revealed to MTV News. "And they're probably screaming at each other."
The design house is about much more than just coming up with Gaga's unbelievable fashion, the singer insisted. "They're my best friends," she said. "I'm not really sure what the world thinks ... but I do hear things like, 'Who is the Haus of Gaga?' and, 'Are you putting out a fashion line?' And no one gets it. It's not a commodity. It's not something that's meant to be sold."
Gaga said that aside from being co-workers, the Haus crew are also her closest allies. "It's a real bond and relationship, and that's what I think music and art is about," she said. "They are my heart and soul. They believe in me, and they look at me like a mother and daughter and sister, with pride and love."
Can't wait to see what they come up with next.

Lady Gaga Says Condoms Are Her Favorite Accessory
Lady Gaga says condoms are her favorite accessory. The singer was honored with a Stylemaker award at the 13th annual Accessories Council Exchange (ACE) Awards on Monday and used her acceptance speech as an opportunity to promote safe sex.
Yes, you heard me correctly. Lady Gaga was honored for her style.
Accepting the award from designer Marc Jacobs, she said:
"I think we must all remember that the ultimate accessory is the condom."
The outspoken singer’s fashion outlook is in contrast to her musical attitude, after she recently said song writing was like "mind-blowing, irresponsible, condom-less sex."
"Writing a record is like dating a few men at once. You take them to the same restaurants to see if they measure up, and at some point you decide who you like best.
“When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condom-less sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time."
What do you think about her statement? Or the fact that she won an award based on her fashion?
