125 Minutes With Lady Gaga The Sacred Heart girl turned bisexual disco queen was never a lazy drug addict.

On a recent morning, Lady Gaga, the 23-year-old synth-pop musician, is making radio-station rounds to promote her Top 10 album The Fame in Los Angeles. Such on-air occasions are usually a time for an artist to reveal herself as personable and friendly, but Gaga doesn’t let anyone get close, with her eyes hidden behind dark wraparound sunglasses and her five-foot frame encased in a sharp-shouldered lilac suit with matching zippered gloves. “The biggest misconception about me is that I am not a real person,” she says before her radio spot, in a robotic, faux-English monotone. “The assumption is that my eccentricity is not who I really am, but it is.” She leans in, to clarify things. “I have lost my mind,” she says.
Mystery is part of the performance for Gaga, whose post-camp persona is a riff on disco-diva glam and a recession-age, downmarket, satirist-wannabe Britney Spears, and who is channeling no less than Madonna, patron saint of glitter, media manipulation, and Britspeak. (more…)
NEW YORK (Billboard) - Beyonce logged a fourth week atop the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart Friday, while near-record digital sales drove dance-pop singer Lady GaGa to the No. 2 slot.
Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” a track from her chart-topping album “I Am … Sasha Fierce,” sold a massive 382,000 downloads last week according to Nielsen SoundScan, a 157% increase.
But Lady GaGa’s Grammy-nominated “Just Dance” featuring Colby O’Donis sold 419,000 downloads, the second biggest single-week sum of all time behind Flo Rida’s 467,000 from the same week last year. It rose one spot from the previous week, swapping places with T.I.’s “Live Your Life” featuring Rihanna.
Kanye West’s “Heartless” held at No. 4, and Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” rose two to No. 5. Katy Perry’s “Hot N Cold” remained at No. 6, and Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” fell two to No. 7.
Rounding out the top portion of the Hot 100, West’s “Love Lockdown,” T.I.’s “Whatever You Like” and Beyonce’s “If I Were a Boy” were are unchanged at Nos. 8-10.
Nickelodeon star Miranda Cosgrove’s cover of Sugababes’ “About You Now” was the top debut at No. 51. The song was released last June on the “iCarly” soundtrack but is now doing strong digital business after a performance on Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade; it sold 74,000 copies last week.

Lady Gaga finds success with Just Dance
American singer/songwriter and electronica musician Stefani Joanne Germanotta, better known as Lady Gaga, has scored a crossover hit with the track Just Dance.
The recording, which scaled the Billboard Dance Music Club Play chart months ago, is currently the number two song on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. It is also number one on three Billboard charts, namely the Billboard Pop 100, Hot Digital Tracks and Hot Digital Songs charts. The track features Colby O’Donis. (more…)
Akon weighs in on the Lady GaGa vs. Christina Aguilera comparisons. “I definitely feel that Christina Aguilera is very inspired by Lady GaGa. It’s almost identical,” he tells Rap-Up TV about Christina’s uncanny resemblance to his Konlive artist, who currently has a top 5 hit with “Just Dance.” “She was never doing that before Lady GaGa came out.”
Plus, he gives us the scoop on signing TLC’s Chilli to his label and the possibility of a Grammy for his camp.

Even in the OTT insanity that is Las Vegas, Lady GaGa stands out a mile. Dressed in a Thierry Mugler-inspired black rubber dress adorned with gold origami pyramids, stupendously long false eyelashes, crystal-encrusted sunglasses and impossibly high heels, she cuts quite a figure as she wanders past the agog gamblers. “This is just how I am all the time,” she shrugs, oblivious to the attention as she prepares to perform at the wonderfully ostentatious Mirage hotel. “You’ll never see me in flip-flops and a T-shirt.” (more…)
The first time I met Lady GaGa was in her dressing room at the MTV TRL studios on Times Square back in May. I was briefly introduced to the singer by her PR handler while she was getting ready for her performance on the MTV Logo NewNowNext Awards. I nominated the singer for the MTV Logo Brink of Fame Award, which led to MTV’s invite to perform the show’s big finale. (more…)
