Lady Gaga has gone and Tweeted a photo of herself sans make-up. "Shock me shock me shock me with that deviant behavior! Can this gal get any edgier? To be a young 25-years-old and dare to go without make-up, it's so brave, and not a little bit derivative of Snooki. But does it really count if you're puckering up your lips, positioning the camera at a flattering angle, and sticking a flower in your hair?

We Read Lady Gaga's Ex's Times Interview So You Don't Have To
It was bound to happen. Lüc Carl, Lady Gaga's big-haired, former bar tending, ex, has written a book. And with the publication of The Drunk Diet later this month he's gone and given a 1,500-word interview with Times. Life being short though, we figure you probably just want the highlights from a man once called "the king of Rivington Street." Because, yes, he does talk about Gaga. Briefly.
You'll Gag At "Gaga's Restaurant," Joanne, Says Cantankerous Critic
Last night Joanne Trattoria, the new Upper West Side restaurant from Art Smith and Lady Gaga's papa, opened its doors to the public (and, apparently, Tony Bennet). And though it was supposed to be a no-press affair, the Post's resident curmudgeon, Steve Cuozzo, popped in for "a 2 1/2-hour meal that seemed like as many days." Pop star parents or no, the Cuozz was not amused. And Gaga was not to be seen.
All Your Bass Belong To Him: A Layman's Guide To Skrillex
The world's most successful DJ called him a "pioneer," he's collaborated with members of The Doors, and he has inspired countless awful haircuts. But what the hell is Skrillex? And why does his music make our refrigerator bounce when our neighbors blast it? The DJs at our normal watering hole have bottles thrown at them when they deviate from Thin Lizzy, so we asked two dubstep/electronic/glitch/dance aficionados for help on a layman's guide to the Skrillex revolution before his 5-night stand in New York City.
Inside Lady Gaga's Papa's Italiana Trattoria Joanne
According to our research, Lady Gaga is a recording artist whose ubiquitous song "Poker Face" makes some people want to blow their brains out just to get it unstuck from their heads. Her fame and wealth have escalated to such a degree that even people genetically associated with her attract media attention. For example, Joanne Trattoria, a "neighborhood" restaurant on the Upper West Side, might have gone overlooked if the owners weren't Gaga's parents (and if the keywords "lady gaga" didn't get even more clicks than a story about "Snooki Kim Kardashian Rehab Kitten Daily Show Sex Tape"). So here's a look inside Joanne, you monsters.
Artist Colette Claims Lady Gaga Stole From Her
For the holiday season, Barney's harnessed the imagination of Lady Gaga for their seasonal window displays, but now "Victorian Punk" artist and icon Colette is calling her out for stealing (it wouldn't be the first time?).
Bloomberg Discusses His New Year's Kiss With Lady Gaga
Mayor Bloomberg relived one of his first moments of 2012—specifically, the moments he kissed Lady Gaga in Times Square—with reporters today. According to DNAinfo, Bloomberg said, “First, Lady Gaga is very charming. She’s a young lady who grew up and went to school here in New York City. She’s obviously a great entertainer. She really does have some talent."
New York City Rings In 2012 With A Lady Gaga-Mayor Bloomberg Kiss (Photos, Video)
New York City, we did it! We managed to start 2012 off on a truly singular note: Lady Gaga and Mayor Bloomberg smooched on national television. During her performance for Dick Clark's New Year's Rocking Eve, Lady Gaga also wore a bizarre cage-like apparatus over her head, echoing the Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball.
Lady Gaga's Personal Assistant Sues, Says She Was Star's Slave
Merry Christmas, Lady Gaga: the NY Post has a special exclusive dedicated to you today! The paper reports that the performer is a "monster to work for," at least according to her former personal assistant, Jennifer O'Neill.
Ludlow Manor Facing Liquor License Crisis! (Exclamation Point Severely Abused!)
Bars like Ludlow Manor, a three-level macaron of fancified boozing on the southwest corner of Ludlow and Delancey, continue to crop up in the Lower East Side. Call it gentrification or the "Lower Eastpacking District," we just call it "expensive." But the Lo-Down reports that CB 3 voted 3-2 last night to reject Ludlow Manor's request for liquor permits on the second and third floors, after allegations that the venue had been operating illegally without them. “You are using a catering permit to conduct regular business. These are not private parties,” CB 3's SLA committee chair Alex Militano said.
Coming Clean: We Kind Of Like Lady Gaga's New Video
Truth be told, Lady Gaga hasn't wowed us in the past. Yes she's over-the-top, and she can actually sing and play the piano, and she wears crazy outfits... but it's all sort of white noise after a few minutes. Today she released her video for "Marry the Night," however, and we like it! Probably because it reminds us of Girl Interrupted, and also because we always sort of fantasized about vacationing at Bellevue.
Well Wasn't That Special: A Very Gaga Thanksgiving Happened
Some Lady Gaga with your giblets? The superstar may have kept things simple with a casserole last year, but last night she took over ABC with her 90-minute A Very Gaga Thanksgiving special (aka: a very transparent marketing ploy for the new "surprise" Gaga holiday release).
Live In Lady Gaga's Old LES Apartment, Or Be Her Current Neighbor!
Even if Lady Gaga can't go home again (really, she wasn't allowed back in to her old Lower East Side apartment earlier this year), you can! Citi Habitats has listed her old one-bedroom pad at 176 Stanton Street, for "just" $1,850/month. Shower where Lady Gaga showered! Do cocaine off the same surface that Lady Gaga snorted off of! LIVE THE DREAM. In a recent interview, she told Howard Stern, “I did [cocaine] all alone in my apartment, while I wrote music."
Meanwhile, On The LES: Lady Gaga Fans Flocked To Bowery Overnight
Beware to those on Bowery, there are little monsters everywhere this morning. Last week it was announced that Lady Gaga would be at the New Museum on November 22nd to promote her new book with Terry Richardson, and the event would be open to a select number of fans. The catch: you have to pre-order her book in person for $50 at the museum, and those sales started today.
Lady Gaga To Steal Giant Slide's Thunder At The New Museum
Lady Gaga and Terry Richardson's highly anticipated, "stunning, provocative and coveted" photo book LADY GAGA x TERRY RICHARDSON (capitalization theirs) is finally here, and to celebrate, the duo will be causing a serious scene at the New Museum on November 22nd.
Brace Yourself For A Very Gaga Thanksgiving Special
No, seriously. That's what Lady Gaga's just-announced ABC Thanksgiving special is being called. Because apparently taking over Times Square for New Year's Eve is not enough.
Lady Gaga's Papa Is Opening An UWS Restaurant, Maybe With Art Smith?
One year ago Lady Gaga and her family decided to do what wealthy people do and invest in a restaurant. In their case, an Upper West Side spot called Vince & Eddie's that they had frequented over the years. But that investment seemed to turn to dust when the restaurant suddenly shuttered in March. But maybe that was part of the plan? Apparently Gaga's papa, Joe Germanotta, has taken over the space and is aiming to open a restaurant there around Thanksgiving. And it might (might!) even have an Oprah-endorsed chef manning the kitchen.
Justin Bieber And Lady Gaga To Make Times Square More Unbearable This New Year's Eve
The other day we were thinking: Times Square really doesn't get crazy enough, especially on New Year's Eve. It's like a ghost town over there! The Crossroads of the World should really be jam packed with screaming people, especially when a new year is upon us. Well, it seems the suits over at the Times Square Party Down Council had the same thought. Their solution: they've invited both Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber to perform in usually desolate area, this December 31st during something called Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, hosted by Ryan Seacrest. This might just be crazy enough to work!
Staten Island: Lady Gaga Is On You Right Now
According to Twitter, Lady Gaga is filming her video for "Marry The Night" on Staten Island today. Possibly right now, and definitely in the Snug Harbor area. Monsters, stalk away (though one noted that when she pulled in this morning her truck didn't stop for fans).
Lady Gaga Goes After Company Using Her Name
First Old Navy tried to ruin the Kardashian's line at Sears by using a Kim look-a-like for the latest campaign, and now a Chicago company is tainting Lady Gaga's name with their "Lady Gaga by Design" line.
After Driving Gay Teen To Suicide, Bullies Cheer His Death
Last week, a 14-year-old boy who was bullied because of his sexuality was found dead of an apparent suicide. The death of Jamey Rodemeyer, who had recorded a striking "It Gets Better" video months before, has provoked an outpouring of sympathy for the family, and support for anti-bullying laws. But according to Jamey's parents, the bullies who allegedly drove Jamey to suicide are still harassing the family and defiling Jamey's memory.
Lady Gaga Pays $38,500 To Meet President Obama
After declaring last week that she wanted to meet President Obama to discuss bullying, Lady Gaga did in fact meet him last night—after paying $38,500 to attend a fundraiser held at Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's home in Silicon Valley. A pool report from the event says, "At 8:03 p.m. Lady Gaga entered ... delicately walking on sky-high heels (she towered over everyone, a good 2 feet taller than POTUS)."
Lady Gaga Wants To Meet With Obama To Talk Bullying
This week, a 14-year-old boy who recorded an "It Gets Better" video earlier this year was found dead of an apparent suicide. Jamey Rodemeyer dedicated one of his final messages to his hero, Lady Gaga: "Thank you Lady Gaga. For everything you have done for me. Paws up forever." Gaga has now responded to Jamey's tragic death by vowing to meet with President Obama to discuss bullying laws: "I am meeting with our President. I will not stop fighting. This must end. Our generation has the power to end it. Trend it #MakeALawForJamey."
Lady Gaga Poured Alcohol All Over Disabled Giants Fans Last Night
Last night Lady Gaga was back in the stands of a sporting event dribbling beverages all over the place. Seems like just yesterday the beer-slugging pop tartlet wore her underwear to a Yankees game, and flipped off the Mets. Last night she classed things up a little bit at the Giants game, however, spilling champagne all over the place.
Times Square Will Be Gaga This New Years Eve
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.
Just In Time For Halloween: Lady Gaga With No Makeup
This is so Jane magazine makeunder: Lady Gaga is baring it all for next month's issue of Harper's Bazaar, where she's showing her real face... or rather, her face in a "very deliberately dressed down" spread. Or rather, her face in tons of natural-looking make-up. Anyway, EW says she looks like a "wood nymph ballerina"—put it on your list for Halloween costume ideas.
Lady Gaga Takes On NY Times Fashion Critic
In the latest winner-less battle, Lady Gaga has taken up her allotted space in this month's V Magazine to target NY Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn... and right before Fashion Week. Previously, Horyn ran a questionable critique, and photo, of Christina Hendricks, which made it very clear she was not really a "for the people" kind of fashion person. And that, at the root of it, seems to be one of Gaga's issues—the critic is too critical, too predictably harsh, etc! Gaga writes:
MTV VMA Photos/Videos: Gaga Goes Drag, Beastie Boys In The Future, And Proud Papa Jay-Z
Yes, the MTV VMAs happened again this year, despite having no host. The show was relatively tame (at least compared to years past)—as the Times notes, perhaps the most shocking aspect was how quickly the network's censors hit the bleep button during potty-mouthed scenes with Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne and... Cloris Leachman.
Santa And Lady Gaga Form Unholy Union At Barneys This Holiday Season
Nothing says Christmas like marketing gimmicks, so Barneys decision to bring in Lady Gaga into their campaign this holiday season is actually pretty natural, we suppose. The high end retailer will be giving Gaga her own floor in Manhattan—the 5th, which is the men's department—for her own version of Santa's Workshop, called Gaga's Workshop. But... how many of Gaga's little monsters can actually afford to shop there?
Debbie Harry And Lady Gaga Talk About NYC Nightlife Inspiration
Lady Gaga and Debbie Harry discuss their New York City nightlife roots in a new interview with each other, and unsurprisingly Blondie's got a much cooler social muse. She says her song "Mother" is "about the club that was originally called Jackie 60. A lot of people went there, like Leigh Bowery. It was such an important part of my life—for entertainment, for joy, for friends, for distraction, for creativity. When it closed, I just felt so lost. I think the only time that I felt more lost was when Andy [Warhol] died, and it was just 'Oh, my God. Wow. What do I do now?'"
