Lady Gaga shows photogs the middle finger

June 11, 2010 By Leave a Comment

New York, June 11 (ANI): ‘Poker Face’ singer Lady Gaga was so fed up with the photographers hounding her during a New York Mets game at Citi Field that she showed them the middle finger.

Lady Gaga, 24, was watching the game on June 10 from a luxury suite when she decided that she had had enough of the snappers jockeying to take her picture, reports the New York Daily News.

She was seen wearing what looks like the same bra featured in her “Telephone” video.

This is the second time this week that Gaga has flashed New Yorkers her middle finger. She was caught in the same pose at a hot dog stand on June 8. (ANI)

Producer Rodney Jerkins likens Lady Gaga to MJ

March 27, 2010 By Leave a Comment

London, Mar 27 (ANI): Comparing Lady Gaga to Michael Jackson, super-producer Rodney Jerkins has said that the eccentric singer could build a career to rival the late King of Pop”s.

Jerkins worked with the late superstar on his final studio album, 2001”s ‘Invincible’, and produced Gaga”s latest hit single ‘Telephone’.

The music mogul has confessed that he is extremely impressed with the ‘Poker Face’ hitmaker, and is sure that she can go on to become a music legend just like Jackson.

“We haven”t seen an artist like Gaga in a long time – we haven”t seen an artist that really has no fear. I remember Michael Jackson used to tell me he was crucified for doing Thriller, but he had to do what he felt was needed at that time. I”m just happy to be part of history,” the Daily Express quoted him as telling People.

“I”ve always wanted to leave my stamp on music, and to be able to say that I worked with Michael Jackson and now I”m working with Lady Gaga, who”ll probably go down in history as one of the best female entertainers of all time,” added Jerkins. (ANI)

Lady Gaga files countersuit against producer Rob Fusari

March 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment

London, Mar 23 (ANI): ‘Poker Face’ singer Lady Gaga has filed a countersuit against her former mentor, producer Rob Fusari, claiming in it that he took advantage of her naivety as a wannabe pop star.

Fusari, who became romantically involved with Gaga, signed a production deal with the singer in 2006 and claims to have come up with her stage name, reports the Daily Express.

He also maintains he was instrumental in landing her a deal with record label Interscope, and held a 20 per cent share in his company with Gaga, Team Love Child LLC.

But he filed suit against her in New York last week, accusing her of failing to adequately compensate him for his shares in the firm once she gained worldwide recognition.

But Gaga’s lawyer, Charles Ortner, has blasted the allegations, claiming the pair’s agreement was “structured in such a way as to mask its true purpose – to provide to the defendants unlawful compensation for their services as unlicensed employment agents”.

On March 19, they took their argument to the Manhattan Supreme Court to ask a judge to declare Gaga’s contract with Fusari “void and unenforceable” amid claims he acted as an “unlawful employment agent”, violating various laws designed to protect employees such as “inexperienced recording artists”.

According to the New York Post, Fusari’s attorney Robert S. Meloni hit back at the countersuit, dismissing Gaga’s lawyer’s argument as “one of the most ridiculous I’ve heard in 30 years” because the producer never pitched himself as a talent agent. (ANI)

Lady Gaga’s ‘Telephone’ rings fresh sex controversy

March 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment

London, March 23 (ANI): Lady Gaga has sparked new controversy over her sexuality with new music video ‘Telephone’.

A pixelated moment in the music clip has left people speculating on the singer’s sexuality once again.

The video shows two transvestite guards strip her down to a pair of fishnet tights in a prison.

GaGa”s private parts are pixelated, as the guards walk away saying: “I told you she didn”t have a d**k.”

“It”s interesting because in fact I was wearing opaque tights on underneath fishnets,” the Daily Express quoted the 23-year-old pop star, as telling The Sun.

She added: “The idea is that it”s an unanswered question. You kind of see whatever it is you see personally.

“Whether people think I was naked or think otherwise, it”s meant to be subjective to whoever is watching it. It”s pixelated for that reason but it”s interesting to see the different ways people view it.”

Referring to the pixelation, GaGa said: “I”ve heard it”s been blurred out so you don”t know if she”s a man or a woman.

“Others have said she”s had it cut off or she”s doing full-frontal nudity in the video. It”s all down to each person”s interpretation as to what they are missing.”

However, RnB singer India Arie believes the ‘Poker Face’ hitmaker has gone bit too far.

She Tweeted: “Don’t be offended this is all MY opinion… Am I the only one who thinks the “telephone” video is going a bit too far? I’m not referring to the abstract nature of the video … I’m talking about the IMAGERY – the unspoken back story, the language the message.

“I agree gaga is being her image .. I dig her creative mind But still … Thers a such thing as socially irresponsible… I’m just sayin. (ANI)

Lady Gaga hits back at producer’s claim she ditched him

March 20, 2010 By Leave a Comment

London, Mar 20 (ANI): ‘Poker Face’ singer Lady Gaga has hit back at a music producer who claims that he launched her career and was later ditched by her.

In court papers that were made public, Gaga’s lawyer said the agreement at the heart of the suit was “unlawful”.

Songwriter and music producer Rob Fusari filed the 20.3 million pounds lawsuit on March 17 in Manhattan against the Grammy Award-winning performer for denying him his 20 percent share.

According to the lawsuit, Gaga and Fusari’s relationship turned romantic and then became a business partnership in May 2006, when they created a joint venture called Team Love Child to promote her career.

But Gaga’s lawyer Charles Ortner wrote in his response that the arrangement was “structured in such a way as to mask its true purpose – to provide to the defendants unlawful compensation for their services as unlicensed employment agents”.

Ortner wrote that Fusari and his company violated statutes, which prohibited them from “acting as employment agents without a licence and charging Lady Gaga an unlawful fee for their purported services”.

But Fusari’s lawyer Robert Meloni called the claim “ludicrous”.

“Fusari is a partner in the Team Love LLC with Gaga and her father (through their company Mermaid),” the Daily Express quoted Meloni as writing in an email.

“Rob was no more of an ‘agent’ for her than she is a Roman Catholic nun,” he added. (ANI)

Lady GaGa nips out in racy see-through lace catsuit at NY fashion week

September 17, 2009 By Leave a Comment

London, September 16 (ANI): Lady GaGa continued her shock tactics as she stepped out in a bizarre see-through red lace catsuit teamed up with eye mask and eccentric spiky hair piece at the New York fashion week.

The singer’s modesty was said to be hardly covered by a barely there red G-string and an almost-strategically placed ruffle on her costume.

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old recently gave a blood-covered performance and faked her own death at the MTV Video Music Awards, during which she changed her outfit five times, reports the Daily Mail.

However, the ‘Poker Face’ hitmaker’s appearance was said to be a little toned down at the Marc Jacobs Spring Summer 2010 fashion show after party, where she bumped into fellow ‘shocker’ Madonna.

Madonna admitted she was “very flattered” by comparisons to the newcomer.

The Queen of Pop complimented the star, saying: “She looks like she’s going to a carnival in Venice, very beautiful.” (ANI)

Lady Gaga says no to judging ‘American Idol’

September 14, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Washington, Sep 14 (ANI): Lady Gaga has said that she does not want to be a judge on TV show ‘American Idol’, because it is difficult for her to criticise someone else’s talent.

The ‘Poker Face’ singer denied that she would be a judge on the show.

“I did appear on the show but I am not going to be a judge. I generally feel uncomfortable judging other artists anyway. I don’t feel that a musician’s life is a contest,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

The singer also slammed shows that push new artists straight into the limelight, claiming they should spend time nurturing their talent.

“It’s more about growing and struggling and playing live. It would be very uncomfortable for me to judge someone else,” she said.

Already, celebrities of the likes of Victoria Beckham, Shania Twain and Mary J Blige have appeared as guest judges on the talent show after Paula Abdul decided not to return for the new season.

Meanwhile, it was recently announced that US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has replaced Paula on the judging panel, alongside Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi. (ANI)
