Everyone's just suing and countersuing all willy-nilly now in the Dr. Luke/Kesha sex abuse standoff, with Lady Gaga dragged into the mess as a potential witness in at least two civil suits. Hope she likes depositions :(
Mark Geragos, the lawyer representing Kesha in her sexual assault claim against super-producer Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, claimed on Twitter yesterday that Luke was also the record producer who raped Lady Gaga when she was 19.
Gee, I wonder why this was scrapped.
After those insane golf pants last week, it seemed like there wasn't a lot more for Bill Murray to accomplish in life, but it turns out he's got a bucket list. And he dropped by David Letterman's show last night to cross off a few important items.
In a bizarre story posted today on Buzzfeed and the personal Tumblr of music writer Bill Werde comes a story of two probably insane trolls that were actually taken seriously.
Lady Gaga's latest dalliance in directing clocks in at seven minutes of dancing and grinding and Kanye West-style sacrificial bird-fallen-to-earth mythology, plus five minutes of rolling credits. Michael Jackson gets resuscitated. And Gandhi, too!
In a stunt that was debatably art and definitely pop, someone threw up all over Lady Gaga during her set at SXSW Thursday night.
"...We are an organization that conducts our charitable activity directly, and we fund our own work. We are not a grant-maker that funds the work of other charities, and were never intended to be." - Lady Gaga's mom, Cynthia Germanotta, hitting back at criticism on the allocation of Born This Way Foundation's funds
News has emerged that Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation could be a mere vanity project. Have you ever? Can you even? (No, you can't. You either already tweeted or are just about to tweet, "I can't with this," about this.) We all can collectively gasp while secretly saying, "Yaaaaaas," in our heads regarding Gaga's…
Not to be outdone by Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga admitted in a radio interview that she used to smoke 15-20 joints a day to self-medicate for a hip injury. And while Gaga believes weed "is the best of drugs" to choose from, she also wants young kids to know they "actually can become addicted to it."

The words "pop" and "art" can be confusing. We use "pop" to describe a piece of music from within and without—it can speak to music's genre, its sensibility, and the reaction to it, sometimes simultaneously. When we use the label "art" to describe what's already evidently art—music, for example—we do it as a way of…
Earlier today, Lady Gaga graced the stage of Good Morning America to perform a Wizard of Oz-styled spin on "Applause," complete with several costume changes. (This era, she's really intent on wowing us with how many times she can change her costumes in one song, and I will admit that it is a nice distraction from the…
Last week, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga released the first singles of their respective upcoming albums, Prism and (my fingers groan a little bit louder with old age every time I type this) ARTPOP. The ensuing battle to the top of the charts was like a taste test between a Saltine and a Saltine piled with sprinkles,…
After today's Good Morning America premiere of her music video for "Applause," the real hero of cosplay, Lady Gaga, told George Stephanopoulos, "I really felt like I could be myself in this video." In it, she plays over half a dozen characters including a jester, an apparent emulation of Sandro Botticelli's The Birth…
Sure, we could talk about the upcoming release of Lady Gaga's third studio album ARTPOP. Or the controversy surrounding the album's (alleged) first leaked song, the "burqa swag" anthem "Aura."
TMZ reports that a judge has granted the request of fine/foine artist Lady Gaga to seal documents in a court case between her former boyfriend and producer Rob Fusari and former friend Wendy Starland. Here is the elliptical way in which TMZ fills in the details:
Lady Gaga on her upcoming single, "Applause": "...What I’m saying in the song essentially is that I live for the applause. I live for the way you cheer and scream for me. Give me that thing that I love. Put your hands up, make them touch." I never would have guessed.
Multi-genre dance producer Diplo's typically loose lips have suggested that Beyoncé has scrapped work she's done on her upcoming album, the creation of which she's been talking about forever (or at least, since January). "Fuckin' thing sucks!" is how I like to imagine King Bey regarding this rejected body of work,…
When it emerged that Lady Gaga intended to fight a $300,000 lawsuit, filed by her former assistant (and, Gaga would like it noted, EX-best friend), we braced for some bananas court documents.
