Lady GaGa writing new album in "quarantine"

The singer said that she is currently busy in Seoul, South Korea making material for her third studio album ahead of the opening show of her 'Born This Way Ball' world tour tomorrow (April 27).

"Let's try this one more time with correct spelling, I've [been] composing in quarantine for 18'hrs," GaGa tweeted.

The star confirmed back in January that she was planning on releasing the follow-up to 2011'sBorn This Way later this year.

"I just want to keep going. I'm not as goal obsessed as I am process obsessed. I just want to keep writing music. I'm looking forward to putting out another album and going on tour," she said.

Lady GaGa will play two shows at London's Twickenham Stadium and a date at Manchester's MEN Arena in the UK this September. Tickets for Lady GaGa's 'Born This Way Ball' UK tour are now available here.

She has yet to confirm the plans for a North American stint of her 'Born This Way Ball'.

Lady Gaga Makes Sexy Underwear Calls To Boyfriend Taylor Kinney

Lady Gaga has taken several sets of naught underwear on her tour, and they will be reserved for her boyfriendTaylor Kinney's eyes only for their video calls.

The 'You & I' singer, who started dating the Vampire Diaries actor after meeting on the set of her music video, is not going to let the spark die on their relationship because of her world tour - so will make sure that he cops an eyeful during their chats.

Gaga is about to embark on a 110-date tour that kicks off in Seoul, South Korea on Friday (April 27), and she's not about to let distance get in the way.

"Gaga and Taylor have a very physical relationship," a source told The Sun. "While Taylor will go to see his girlfriend when he can, they are going to be spending a lot of time apart. She reckons this is going to be the best way of staying close to each other."

The 26-year-old, who recently admitted that she doesn't like to spend money, adopted a stray cat for Taylor, 29, in the hope that he won't be lonely while she's on the road.

"Taylor loves cats and Gaga wanted to give this stray cat a home," the source said. "She has already named it Polly. She has given the pet to Taylor so he can love it forever and really cherish it."

Well, at least he's getting some pussy...

Justin Bieber fans incite Twitter war with Lady Gaga fans

Justin Bieber fans have thrown the "Boyfriend" singer into a Twitter war with Lady Gaga.

When Lady Gaga became the most followed person on Twitter earlier this month, accumulating more than 20 million followers, 

Bieber fans felt slighted on behalf of the pop star, whose reboot of the series "Punk'd" premieres on MTV tonight. 

One Bieber fan posted a message on the micro-blogging site, asking fellow Bieber fans to take action.

ASHTON KUTCHER: 'JUSTIN BIEBER IS GETTING A LITTLE 'SINGLE WHITE FEMALE''

PHOTOS: LADY GAGA

"To all beliebers this is operation unfollow Lady Gaga," the typo-ridden message reads. "I'm sorry if your a 'little monster' but don't ou want Justin to be #1 followed on Twitter? 

Well here is the plan we all know that all beliebers with twitter follow Justin and we don't have to ceate a million accounts with this plan. 

First, it's simple to lok up Lady Gaga on Twitter. Next unfollow her. Simple! I'm not trying to trash Gaga or anything I am a fsan of her music but I think Justin should be #1 followed on Twitter! That's all but believers please spread the word for me okay? Thank you all that helped!"

Bieber fans even created a hashtag dedicated to this mission: #OperationUnfollowGaga.

The campaign went into its most active phase yesterday, which happened to be Gaga's birthday. 

The popularity of the #OperationUnfollowGaga tag led Lady Gaga fans to post responses like, "Really Beliebers? That's pathetic."

Neither Gaga nor Bieber has commented on the Twitter war as of yet. While the effort does appear to be ebb the tides slightly -- Bieber picked up more than 164,000 followers in the last few days -- the standings remain unchanged. 

While Justin Bieber has 19,115,097 million followers, Lady Gaga has 21,813, 419. Together, that is the population of the country of Kenya.

While Bieber's Twitter fans continue to scheme, the "Baby" singer is hoping to harness their internet power in another way. The star tweeted about his new single,"Boyfriend," late yesterday saying, "#1 Single in 32 Countries. INSANE. 

thank you ... but thats #1 on ITUNES only. we need 2 push alot more to get #1 on the chart. LET'S GO FOR IT! #OperationBieberBlast."

CONFIRMED! Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Ball Tour live in Manila on May 21!

Little Pinoy monsters, the rumors are true.

Ovation Productions has confirmed to Yahoo! Philippines OMG! that Lady Gaga is returning to Manila for her current Born This Way Ball Tour at the Mall of Asia Arena on May 21. 

In her brand new tour, the five-time Grammy winner will perform her latest album “Born This Way” as well as music from her first two: 2008’s “The Fame” and 2009’s “The Fame Monster.” 

The tour, produced globally by Live Nation, will begin on April 27 in Seoul and proceed to Hong Kong, Tokyo and Taipei before landing in Manila.  Prior to this announcement, Manila has not been listed in Lady Gaga’s official tour schedule.

She will also be the first act to perform at the new 20,000-capacity Mall of Asia Arena which opens on May 19. 

In a statement, “Mother Monster” herself said, "The Haus of Gaga and I have worked for months conceiving a spectacular stage. THE BORN THIS WAY BALL is an Electro-Metal Pop-Opera; the tale of the Beginning, the genesis of the Kingdom of Fame. How we were birthed and how we will die celebrating.”

“Mother Monster” is a persona Lady Gaga has adopted,  which references the fans she calls her “little monsters.”

“The new show is easily the most fun I've had on stage in ages, + YOU'RE not even there yet! IM GONNA DIE OF EXCITEMENT. Throw ice if i do,” Lady Gaga tweeted on March 12 to more than 20 million followers, the most for anyone on Twitter.

“Wait till you see the music come to life,” she told her fans, in an earlier tweet.

Cel and Renen De Guia of Ovation Productions said negotiations to get Manila into her tour itinerary began last year.

Ovation is the same outfit that brought Lady Gaga to Manila in 2009 for a sold-out show. It was, said the De Guias, the pop phenom’s very first stadium show as a headliner. Few will remember that Lady Gaga used to open for the Pussycat Dolls. 

Today, she has been named Forbes' Most Powerful Woman in the World 2011 and was included in Time's annual "The 2010 Time 100" list of the most influential people in the world. With over 2.2 billion combined views of all her videos online, Lady Gaga is one of the biggest living people on Facebook with over 47 million “likes.” She is also the only artist in the digital era to top the five million sales mark with her first two hits.

Tickets for the Manila leg of The Born This Way Ball tour go on sale in Manila on Monday, April 2, at 12 noon at all SM Tickets outlets. Ticket prices are:  P15,000  11,000  5,000  2,000. Call 470 2222 for ticket info. 

Lady Gaga Buys An Audi R8 GT, Drives Around Beverly Hills (Photo)

Lady Gaga was recently seen driving around Beverly Hills in her brand new Audi R8 GT, several celebrity news sites and blogs reported on Thursday, April 5, 2012.

According to reports, the “Born This Way” singer drove her silver Audi R8 GT in Beverly Hills on Thursday, capturing the attention of people around her. The picture of the sports car reportedly flooded the blogosphere. Moreover, the phrase “we love gaga’s new car” became a trending topic on Twitter.

Audi also posted an update on their official Twitter account, saying “Yes, yes, We love Gaga’s new car too!”

The car was said to be limited to a production of only 333. It costs around $200,000 and can reach speeds of up to 200 mph.

Time Magazine names Lady Gaga one of Top 100 fashion icons

We have Time, a once-popular newsmagazine, to thank for completely changing the definition of “fashion.” The magazine has now listed Lady Gaga in its “All-Time Top 100 Fashion Icons.”

Fashion icons are typically those people who dress classy or who others would want to dress like.

We don’t know you’re style, but we can assume you wouldn’t want to wear a meat dress or have an outfit made out of Kermit the Frog dolls.

So, what was Time’s reason for naming her a fashion icon? “Lady Gaga is just as notorious for her outrageous style as she is for her pop hits,” the website says, “Gaga has [even] partnered with brands like Giorgio Armani on tour outfits.”

Next time you don’t feel like picking out an outfit in the morning – just grab some duck tape and a dish towel. We’re sure you’ll create something equivalent to one of Gaga’s famous looks and you too could be a “fashion icon.”

Lady Gaga calling on fans to design t-shirts

Lady Gaga is calling on her fans to get creative for the chance to have their T-shirt design made into official merchandise for the superstar's forthcoming world tour.

The ‘Poker Face’ hitmaker has invited her Little Monster devotees to submit clothing ideas inspired by the singer to her official website.

The top 10 entries will receive cash prizes and the best will be printed and sold at the 2012-2013 Born This Way Ball dates.

But aspiring designers will have to move fast - the final day for submissions to the Fan Art Merch Design Contest is Tuesday.

Indonesian cleric: Lady Gaga is forbidden

And right on cue, a top cleric in Muslim-majority Indonesia declares that Lady Gaga's upcoming Jakarta concert is a "forbidden" act that is "intended to destroy the nation's morality," according to the Jakarta Globe. 

Chairman Cholil Ridwan, of the influential Indonesian Council of Ulema, is honoring the rich Indonesian-Malaysian tradition of condemning Western pop stars for besmirching religious piety on their soil.

Past performers accused of soiling youthful morality include Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna, Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne and -- just recently in Malaysia -- Erykah Badu.

The cleric tells the Globe that these "cultural attacks" must come to an end.

Lady Gaga's psy-ops campaign to corrupt Indonesian morality is mounting. According to the Jakarta Post, fans lined up in the rain for tickets to her June concert, which sold out within hours.

Among the depraved acts Gaga has compelled from Jakarta girls: glueing cigarettes to sunglasses 

Rufus Wainwright: Singer Slags Lady Gaga, Says He's 'In Love With' Mark Ronson

After lashing out at a Scottish Cardinal for his views on same-sex marriages earlier this month, Rufus Wainwright took aim at pop star Lady Gaga for her songs and presentation in an interview with Music Week.

When asked about some of the lyrical content on his upcoming album 'Out of the Game' ("Look at you suckers/Does your mama know what you're doing?"), Wainwright said, "I think a lot of it has to do with Lady Gaga, to be honest. I totally admire her tenacity, her ambition and her strength of vision. There's just not one good song there."

Wainwright added that "people, especially gay men, are falling so hard for it," before describing Gaga's presentation as "a bit disingenuous."

"We are in this somewhat sinister period [and artists have] got to kind of toughen up and be real. I guess I want to put a little bit more grit into my presentation of what's happening in the world. It's about conveying what's inside us, as opposed to the return of the cone breasts. I find it predictable and boring."

Wainwright also elaborated on working with producer Mark Ronson on his new album, saying, "we kind of fell in love with each other."

"There's a real attraction between Mark and I, which is a little harder for me being gay," Wainwright said. "I have to battle with it. Whether it's the Beatles or the Stones orEurhythmics, there's an unrequited sexual, romantic energy in the studio -- and it becomes volatile if not dealt with."

Lady Gaga has not commented on Wainwright's statements nor has Wainwright added anything more since the article was released. Wainwright will release his new album late next month (May 1 in the U.S.) and begins a European tour in Copenhagen on April 23. 

Lady Gaga 2012: 'Marry The Night' Singer To Ignore Media, Top 5 Most Memorable Quotes

Lady Gaga, the pop sensation known for her attention-grabbing fashion and performances, told Oprah Winfrey that she plans to cut all connection with the media. 

When talking to the iconic show host for her special airing Sunday, "Oprah's Next Chapter," the "Born This Way" singer said she is taking a break from interviews, according to The Chicago Tribune.

"Other than this interview, Oprah, I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time," she said. "No press, no television, if my mom calls and says, 'Did you hear about that' I shut it all off."

This is a change of pace for the eccentric singer, as the 25-year-old has been known for media stunts. Her distinguished meat dress has become a staple of the pop star's image, and her 2009 performance of 'Paparazzi' at MTV's VMA ceremony was one of her first eye-catching endeavors.

With the starlet preparing for her media vow of silence, here's a recap of some of Lady Gaga's most memorable quotes.

1. "Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore."- Cosmopolitan Magazine, 2010

2. "Pop stars should not eat." - New York Magazine, 2010  

3. "I had a boyfriend who told me I'd never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I'd fail. I said to him, 'Someday, when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f--king deli without hearing or seeing me." -Cosmopolitan Magazine, 2010.

4. "I'm terrified of therapy because I don't want it to mess with my creativity." -Rolling Stone, 2010

5. "I have the right to choose whether or not I want to be a celebrity, and I don't want to be one...I'd much rather people write about what I wear and what I'm singing and what I do in my videos than about who I'm f--king. I mean, that, for me, is the kiss of death." -Rolling Stone, 2010.

Rufus Wainwright says Lady Gaga has no good songs

The singer revealed that the harsher lyrics on his new album are aimed at the pop star. 

Singer Songwriter Rufus Wainwright has revealed that Lady Gaga has inspired the lyrics of his new album, but not in the way you may think.

Rather than a complimentary inspiration, Wainwright has said that the critical lyrics on the album are all down to Gaga and the fact that she hasn’t got a good song in his opinion.

In an interview with Music Week, he said, "I think a lot of it has to do with Lady Gaga, to be honest. I totally admire her tenacity, her ambition and her strength of vision. There’s just not one good song there. People, especially gay men, are falling so hard for it."

He went on: "Certain things that she says: 'Look at me. I was like you one day and now I’m this – and you can do it too.' I find it a bit disingenuous. We are in this somewhat sinister period and artists have got to kind of toughen up and be real. It's about conveying what’s inside us, as opposed to the return of the cone breasts. I find it predictable and boring."

The singer’s new album Out of The Game features appearances by Martha Wainwright, Sean Lennon and Nick Zinner and is released on April 23^rd. 

Blessing in disguise? Lady Gaga takes a vow of silence

Here’s some irony of Friday morning: Lady Gaga, the queen of flashy outfits and crazy stunts, is taking a vow of silence. Is she “Speechless” or just sick of the “Paparazzi?”

E! reported that Oprah was able to get an interview with the singer which will air this weekend. After that, Gaga has promised to finally shut up.

“Other than this interview, Oprah, I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time. … No press, no television,” Gaga said.

Maybe she really doesn’t have anything left to say, but we doubt it. Gaga confirmed that she doesn’t like what the media says about her – “I don’t read a damn thing.”

Recently gaining 20 million followers on Twitter, it’s hard to believe her mouth will be shut for long. Don’t hold your breath, world, Gaga isn’t going anywhere.

Lady Gaga going on media hiatus

LADY Gaga plans to take a "very long" break from speaking, or even paying attention to, the media. 

She chose to make the announcement of her hiatus to Oprah Winfrey, in an "Oprah's Next Chapter" interview to air in the US tomorrow. The interview also features the singer's mother, Cynthia Germanotta.

"Other than this interview, Oprah, I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time," explains Gaga. "No press, no television."

The eccentric singer added that she has already stopped paying attention to what is written about her.

"Even if my mum calls and says, 'Did you hear about ...' I shut it all off," she said. "I don't read a damn thing."

Ever since the singer, whose given name is Stefani Germanotta, appeared on the scene with Let's Dance in 2009, it seemed the public could not get enough of her dramatic costumes and outspoken interviews.

However, she has slipped from the center of the radar screen in recent months, even as Born This Way was nominated for three Grammys.

Her mother admits in the interview she and her husband didn't know what to make of their daughter's act at first.

Her mother says: "When Gaga started performing - I think it was at Joe's Pub downtown - she was in a bikini performing with Lady Starlight. She decided that night to actually light hairspray on fire. A lot of people left, and a lot of people stayed and thought it was cool. Her father said, honestly, 'I think she has a screw loose.'"

Lady Gaga inspires Raakesh Agarvwal's collection

International pop diva Lady Gaga’s eclectic style became an inspiration for designer Raakesh Agarvwal’s collection at the second day of ongoing Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Thursday.

“Lately, I have been listening to Lady Gaga a lot. Initially I never liked her, but when I started listening to her, I started falling in love with her. I love her style but I don’t know how many people would be able to carry it,” Agarvwal told IANS.

“I love her style statement and she is unbelievably creative. It was a challenge because she is always creative and I wanted that whole Lady Gaga creativeness to come into much more wearable garments. The garments were cut sharply for the body so that a normal woman can pick up and wear it and yet feel like Lady Gaga,” he added.

The designer’s collection included gold sequined jump suits, short dresses, jackets and gowns made from fabrics like velvets, jerseys, wool, satin and silk. However, the collection was dominated by leather.

“The whole collection is inspired by lot of architectures from different eras like the Taj Mahal in Agra to Blue mosque in Istanbul and Louvre Museum in Paris. We have taken different techniques, artworks and motifs and blended it with the sexy look with a bit of Lady Gaga style thrown into it,” he said.

Singer Anushka Manchanda opened Agarvwal’s show with a small gig, pepping up the mood in the show area.

“Anushka is real star and one of the best pop stars in the country till now. Moreover, because the collection was about Lady Gaga meeting architectural collection, I thought it would be better if I take a popstar rather than having any Bollywood celebrity or a supermodel,” Agarvwal added. (IANS)

Go Gaga for this Lady

FIVE-time Grammy Award winner Lady Gaga is set to make a return to the stage, with her Born This Way Ball tour.

Gaga will perform songs from her latest album Born This Way, as well as music from both The Fame and The Fame Monster.

The Born This Way Ball, produced globally by Live Nation, will begin on April 27 in Seoul, South Korea and will travel the globe, including cities that Gaga has never played.

Lady Gaga's last tour - The Monster Ball - captivated audiences around the globe, receiving rave reviews in every city.

The Sun called it "the best live show you will see this year" and the Pollstar Concert Industry Awards named it the Major Tour of the Year.

"The Haus of Gaga and I have worked for months conceiving a spectacular stage," said Mother Monster.

"The Born This Way Ball is an electro-metal pop-opera; the tale of the beginning, the genesis of the Kingdom of Fame.

"How we were birthed and how we will die celebrating."

The Born This Way Ball will be Lady Gaga's first tour since the release of her album Born This Way, which has sold nearly six million copies worldwide since its release in May last year.

The album is the follow up to back-to-back Grammy Award-winning albums, 2009's The Fame Monster, and 2008's The Fame.

Combined, The Fame and The Fame Monster have sold 15 million albums worldwide, while Lady Gaga's hit singles have combined sales of more than 65 million worldwide.

Gaga was named Forbes' Most Powerful Woman in the World 2011 and was included in the annual "The 2010 Time 100" list of the most influential people in the world.

With more than 2.2 billion combined views of all her videos online, Lady Gaga is one of the biggest living people on Facebook, with more than 47 million 'likes'.

She is number one on Twitter, with nearly 19 million followers.

Lady Gaga is the only artist in the digital era to top the five million sales mark with her first two hits.

Tickets for The Born This Way Ball go on sale for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Auckland from Friday at 9am sharp, at livenation.com.au.

Tickets to all Australian shows are available through ticketek.com.au 132 849.
