Poor Lady Gaga. She has torn her hip and has had surgery to repair it. I am pleased to hear she is well and slowly becoming on the mend. In the meantime, she is wheeling herself around in her wheelchair "Emma" and preparing for the release of her new album ARTPOP. I am terribly excited about all this. It feels like she's been totally out of the radar for too long now. 

But one thing she did recently that was interesting was selling her fake finger nail for $12,000!

It was also recently Lady Gaga's birthday, bless. 

 
I was watching this YouTube video today and felt it was really relevant in regards to being bullied at school. Gaga talks about how sometimes during school you wish you were sitting a seat a table of people that you are never allowed sit with. I think it's terribly important that she continues to reach out to people and make them see through her music that it's okay to be different and have their own distinguishable personality. I relate to what Lady Gaga is singing because I was dying and straightening my hair and got treated differently than I should have. Hair is definitely a huge part of our identities. Be yourselves people, you don't owe anything to anyone!

A belated blog post I know! But Lady Gaga has been busy touring around Europe for her Born This Way ball tour and she even has been on Safari's in Africa. 

On December 15th she performed live with The Rolling Stones singing to their song Gimmie Shelter. I've posted the video below so enjoy!

In other news, we have a Lady Gaga movie to look forward to in the new year. She tweeted:


“Merry Christmas little monsters! Terry Richardson @Terry_World is making a #LadyGagaMOVIE documenting my life, the creation of ARTPOP + you!"


I don't know about you, but I am really excited to see a documentary about her from Gaga's own perspective. And when are we getting ARTPOP! I need more Gaga music already.

As you all know Lady Gaga is going to feature in Machete Kills as La Chameleón. 

Robert Rodriguez has said on Twitter 2 months ago "I just finished working with @LadyGaga on @MacheteKills , she kicked SO MUCH ASS! Holy Smokes. Blown away!" 

But now Gaga is going to also be apart of the Great Gatsby soundtrack with Prince! The movie is due to be released this Christmas so that is something to look forward to.

In other news there has been a lot of spotlight on Lady Gaga's weight lately, and amazingly Gaga has taken it in far more constructively than any other pop star - she's working out through Yoga and Spin Classes. In the past she has had an eating disorder but now she has a healthy body image which is going to influence a lot of little monsters. Her response to all the negative press calling her "fat" was: 

"I'm dieting right now because I gained, like, 25 pounds," she said. "I really don't feel bad about it, not even for a second. But today I join the body revolution to inspire bravely."

An interesting fact you may not know about Gaga is her fascination of French singer Edith Piaf and feels like she can relate to her life. What you might not know about me is I'm a huge fan of Edith's music, utterly beautiful.

Lady Gaga's Twitter stated, "do you now how hard it is to have albums+albums of new music that i can't play u. let me just lay on the floor + cry *stupid popstar rules*"

Poor Gaga has written and recorded so many tracks and us Little Monsters don't get to hear them - now that makes me want to cry! But at least we have Art Pop coming in 2013. 

Her manager Vincent Herbert has announced "The record's coming out really, really great, she's just recording and trying to make sure she's giving her fans a great, great album." 

"If you haven't seen the tour, can't wait for you to see it. It's phenomenal. She's just always changing things. Because when you see this girl on tour, it's like, 'I got to make sure I'm ready for this,' because she's always — she loves it. She loves her fans. She works hard and it's incredible." 

"Her mom, her dad, we're all very close. It's not just work and that's what makes a relationship even better and even sweeter, that they're real people who care about each other. And we care about them as well and sorry you don't understand that." 

Lady Gaga has also been seen wearing outfits from Saint Laurent Paris’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection. designed by the French brand’s creative director Hedi Slimane. It's not surprising news, Gaga has always been fashion forward and she's always reinventing her image. Whether it's her Haus of Gaga or high fashion designers with lines fresh from a recent fashion week.

It's pretty mainstream news but I think it's great that Yoko Ono has recognised her efforts towards bullying and encouraging Little Monsters to be themselves no matter how much others dislike it. She has the Born This Way Foundation and a newly created Body Revolution Campaign 2013 underway. Yoko said "Lady Gaga is in a position of #1 as a singer/songwriter. And when you are #1 you don't want to risk yourself, but she did." Lady Gaga was given a puzzle piece-shaped trophy and $50,000 which she has donated to the Elton John Aids Foundation. 

Gaga also recently launched her Fame perfume at Harrods which you can see in the video below.

Who else is loving her new hair colour? I think she looks truly Italian.

The latest gossip suggests her boyfriend Taylor is not too serious as of yet. Inside a Vogue magazine she states “I’m just having a really good time performing, making music, flying around the world to see so-and-so…

“Look, I’m 26, and I want to make records and party and screw around and wear fake Chanel and do what every other 26-year-old girl wants to do. I don’t want to settle down and live in a house yet or anything. I just want to keep riding this rainbow.”


The band KISS are very impressed with Gaga saying “The only new rock star is Lady Gaga. That’s it. She’s a star,” said Simmons, in white crocodile skin cowboy boots and a silk scarf. “There are some very, very good bands, I’m a big fan of Foo Fighters, but give me the stars.” 

In other news the London-based Status People have discovered that 73 percent of the people following Lady Gaga are either fake, inactive, or other otherwise dud accounts. In fact, the company's 'Fake Follower Check' has found that accounts for many celebrities and political figures  such as President Obama - are overrun with fakes. How strange, do you think fakes might be following you? I thought that if Twitter finds a fake account they delete them which would therefore remove them from you list of followers. Any thoughts?

What I have found interesting is Lady Gaga's newly released perfume The Fame. The description on the side of it says the perfume contains  "tears of belladonna, crushed heart of tiger orchidea with a black veil of incense, pulverized apricot and the combinative essences of saffron and honey drops.

Gaga tweeted "My perfume was designed for women, but a lot of my gay friends wear it." It's black too, the first in the world. What are you waiting for then? Be scented with Mother Monsters juice...
