Lady Gaga in Noo Yawk for Noo Years Eve (AP)

Now that you've seen Lady Gaga in all her non-makeup, non-Kermit coat glory, how'd you like to see her from the middle of a chilly, packed-in crowd in the middle of Times Square? Dick Clark-in-training Ryan Seacrest announced today that Gaga will perform at Times Square to ring in 2012 on New Years Eve.

It's a good thing Gaga still has the adoration of Seacrest and millions of fans, since many of her celebrity idols seem to be abandoning her lately. First, Bette Midler accused her of stealing a routine. And now, Madonna has royally dissed the singer, telling magazine Le Soir, “I have no comment on her obsessions related to me, because I do not know if it is based on something profound or superficial.” Hmm...was it more profound or superficial when Madonna asked the engineers to record Lenny Kravitz making her orgasm for her hit "Justify My Love?"
