Tara Reid to Lady Gaga: "We Really Want You to Be in Sharknado 3"

Why jump the shark when you can get caught up in a Sharknado instead?!
Tara Reid will, indeed, be back for Sharknado 3, and she wants fellow blond beauty Lady Gaga to join her for this "Feast Coast" adventure!
The former American Pie star, 39, expressed her interest on Twitter Wednesday, writing, "@ladygaga we really want you to be in #Sharknado3 but we are having a hard time getting in touch with your people please tell them [heart]"
Mother Monster, 28, has yet to respond to this alluring offer, but it certainly is tempting! Sharknado 3 takes a bite out of the East Coast when this terrifying, freak storm thrashes its way from Washington D.C. to Orlando.

Perhaps Tara's wish will come true and Gaga will agree to at least a cameo role! Sharknado 2: The Second One had plenty of stars in it, including Matt Lauer Al Roker, Kelly Ripa, Michael Strahan, Billy Ray Cyrus and Andy Dick.
Gaga could totally handle a bigger role, too. She made her acting debut in 2013's Machete Kills and grew up studying any different forms of art. She's thought a lot about not limiting herself when it comes to venues for artistic expression.
As she told V magazine a few years ago, "I thought about Pop Art and how the dominant subject matter was always the celebrity or the pop-culture icon on the canvas, and then I thought to myself, But what I have tried endlessly to become through my work is a celebration of my differences through art, with myself as the canvas, as opposed to me as the subject matter, being put on the canvas. I don't want to be an icon in just one form. I want to be an icon in many forms. So that's where it began."

Could Lady Gaga star in Sharknado 3?

The storm-surfing, man-eating sharks are back, and it looks like Lady Gaga could be lined up as one of the unfortunate victims. The 28-year-old eccentric singer was asked to star in Sharknado 3 by none other than Tara Reid, who seemed pretty put out by the fact her previous requests had been ignored.
The American Pie star, who had a career revival with the cult films, took to Twitter on Wednesday (28 Jan) to beg Gaga to come on board with the third installment. "@ladygaga we really want you to be in #Sharknado3 but we are having a hard time getting in touch with your people please tell them [heart]" she posted.
Now there are only two reasons to explain Gaga’s silence on the matter. Either she’s working super hard on her upcoming Grammy performance with Tony Bennett and she can’t focus on any other projects right now, or she just doesn’t want to star in a film about flying sharks. Pretty simple really.

The request isn’t quite as crazy as it seems, however, as Sharknado 2: The Second One featured several celebrity cameos with the likes of Kelly Osbourne, Billy Ray Cyrus and Perez Hilton all lining up to be guzzled down by a great white. Gaga, 28, has also shown an interest in acting in the past with a role in 2013's Machete Kills, so acting gig isn’t completely out of the question.
But even if Gaga decides to turn down the role, the Sharknado franchise isn’t short of celebrity fans. The likes of Elizabeth Banks, Olivia Wilde, Mia Farrow and Simon Pegg have all admitted that the film is one of their guilty pleasures so hopefully they’ll appear in one of the upcoming movies. As for Sharknado 3, both Tara and her co-star Ian Ziering will be returning to take on the man-eating sharks who will be making their way from Washington D.C. to Orlando… in a tornado… naturally.

The first film failed to make an impression when it was released in 2013, but soon became a cult classic after becoming an internet sensation. The hotly anticipated Sharknado 2: The Second One then aired in July 2014 on Syfy pulling in an impressive 3.9m viewers.
Promoting the sequel, Tara, 39, then gave the quote of the century, telling GQ, “You know, it actually can happen. I mean, the chances of it happening are very rare, but it can happen actually. Which is crazy. Not that it—the chances of it are, like, you know, it's like probably ‘pigs could fly.’ Like, I don't think pigs could fly, but actually sharks could be stuck in tornados. There could be a sharknado.” Oh Tara…

Lady Gaga News: Madonna Slams Rumors That She And The ‘Born This Way’ Singer Are Feuding, ‘Rebel Heart’ Singer Clarifies Alleged Diss Song

Lady Gaga news reported that Madonna has slammed rumors that she and the "Born This Way" singer are feuding. According to a report from Toronto Sun, the "Rebel Heart" singer also clarified allegations about a leaked song that is supposedly targeted towards the pop star.
Lady Gaga news that she and the veteran artist are feuding followed the unofficial release of a song entitled "Two Steps Behind". The demo was intended to be part of Madonna's upcoming new album, "Rebel Heart".

Several listeners associated Madonna's leaked song with Lady Gaga. "You're a copycat, get back/I'm always on your mind," Madonna sang.
Madonna and Lady Gaga feud news has long compared the two pop stars. One supposed reason behind their feud was Lady Gaga's hit song, "Born This Way," which some says sounds a lot like Madonna's hit 1989 track, "Express Yourself."
Madonna herself spoke about the Lady Gaga feud news through an Instagram post.
"There are those who want to shut me up but they cannot! We still live in a world that discriminates against women. Their (sic) are people that are so hateful," Madonna said.
"They want to create feuds between strong women that do not exist! I do not wish ill will towards any other female artist and I never have!"
"The world is big enough for all of us," Madonna added, hoping to put an end to news that she and Lady Gaga are allegedly fighting.
Madonna then slammed the ones responsible for leaking her demos.
"I will fight for my rights as an artist, a human and a woman till the end of my days," she said.
"I will not apologise or defend my unpublished, unfinished, stolen work," the superstar added.
 A spokesperson also clarified the issue.
"That song is NOT about Gaga or anyone in particular," said Guy Oseary, Madonna's manager.
"The song is an unfinished demo she had no intention of finishing or releasing along with many others. She has NO ill will towards Gaga. It's nonsense."
"She was listening to Gaga's Tony Bennett duet album last week and appreciating it," the spokesperson added, according to Toronto Sun.

Lady Gaga ARTPOP shredded bin bags dress goes on public display in Women Fashion Power show

A dress made from shredded bin bags, worn by Lady Gaga for a TV promo of her ARTPOP album and at the artRAVE launch of the record, has become the latest towering exhibit in the Design Museum’s Women Fashion Power show.

Standing alongside a cast including Margaret Thatcher, Vivienne Westwood and Shami Chakrabarti, the dress is the latest addition to the exhibition curated by architect Zaha Hadid.

British designer Gareth Pugh created the torn black look for Lady Gaga in his London studio. Made from wool, leather, cotton mesh and black polythene, it was first seen on a catwalk at the Hotel Salomon de Rothschild, in Paris, in late 2013.

“This was one of several looks made entirely of shredded bin bags, which was at heart an attempt to make something beautiful and luxurious from a material that is extremely inexpensive and ephemeral," said Pugh, adding the dress was "something that is destined to be discarded from its very conception."

Lady Gaga Goes Au Naturale in Latest Makeup-Free Selfie

You can bet Lady Gaga was born this way!
Mother Monster took to Instagram to share an au natural shot of herself—no concealer, no mascara, no neon stage wig; nothing! The sunny selfie shows Gaga, hand pressed to face, hanging out in bed after what was likely a long day (or night) spent working on her latest music.
"Basically I can't sleep without every single song I'm writing repeating endlessly, but I'm loving it again. Embracing the torture, as I'm assaulted by my own thoughts," the songstress captioned her Instagram pic. "Like a locust giving birth to earworms. Eeeeew!"

Strong metaphor, but point made, Gaga.
The 28-year-old, born Stefani Germanotta, has taken to Instagram in the past to share other makeup-free snapshots in the past. But what her 4.9 million followers usually get a taste of is her outrageous concert costumes, bold stage makeup, rainbow-hued wigs and yes, her adorable French bulldog Asia.
Lady Gaga is among several other big names who've gone without makeup as of late, with Demi Lovato posting a concealer-free selfie to her Instagram account earlier this week. Oscar-nominated Keira Knightley followed suit as well, making her way through the airport completely fresh-faced and beautiful.

Lady Gaga has reunited with RedOne

Lady Gaga has revealed she is collaborating with producer RedOne.

The Born This Way singer has been working on her fifth album and shared an image of her with the music-maker in the recording studio on Instagram.
The news has been well-received by her fans. One follower wrote: “I love your work!”, while another added: “Write new hit songs for Gaga!!!”
RedOne, whose real name is Nadir Khayat, produced the biggest tracks from Lady Gaga’s 2008 debut, The Fame, including the songs Just Dance, Poker Face and Love Game.
(John Shearer/Invision/AP) The 42-year-old hitmaker also worked with her on her 2011 follow-up, Born This Way, on Judas and Hair, but his work was noticeably absent from her third record, Artpop, which was a critical and commercial disappointment.
Lady Gaga also revealed how working on her new music is “torture”.

Alongside a photo of her bare-faced and in bed, she wrote: “Basically I can’t sleep without every single song I’m writing repeating endlessly, but I’m loving it again. Embracing the torture, as I’m assaulted by my own thoughts. Like a locust giving birth to earworms. Eeeeew!”

Lady Gaga Shows Off Killer Booty While Practicing Yoga in Leopard-Print Underwear

Lady Gaga showed off one heck of a toned tush on Instagram today, the pop star sharing a photo taken during her workout—which appears to be happening in a gym, despite the fact that she's only wearing leopard-print underpants and a black sports bra.
Starting my day off feeling strong, gotta sweat out the whiskey from last nights jam session," Gaga captioned the impressive pic. "And can u spot my abandoned weave? Bang front 6 oclock!!! Thank u@triciadonegan."

Why yes, we did spot what looked like a loose pile of hair lying next to her mat!
Gaga's shout-out was to Bikram yoga specialist Tricia Donegan, under whose tutelage the singer has managed to really master her asanas. Per her Instagram, the diva's super-fit-looking bod is also a result of pilates workouts, a post a few days ago reading, "ACDC and Pilates equals I will knock you out bitch. TNT, I'm dynamite."
As for that whiskey-drenched jam sesh, Gaga has talked about needing a few pulls to master her nerves while recording with Tony Bennett.
"I was keeping a whiskey under my stool because I was very nervous to be around him," she told E! News back in October. "And then, gradually, we became greater and greater friends. And I think because of that, our singing became more and more honest and more and more authentic."
Mission accomplished: Their duets album, Cheek to Cheek, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
And Gaga appeared to be in a place of gratitude throughout her day, also Instagramming a glowing performance pic with the caption, "I've been waiting a long time to see that smile back on my face. But there it is. And it's real. Cuz I've got a supportive team, crazy friends, a loving family. That's where it all starts."

Lady Gaga & Foo Fighters Play Surprise Intimate Gig

Lady Gaga and Foo Fighters shared the bill at a private concert in San Diego last night (January 8) at the Belly Up, alongside Aloe Blacc and Gaga’s duet partner, the legendary Tony Bennett.
The bash was in aid of William Morris Endeavor, one of the world’s leading talent agencies - and the company that represents all four artists on the line-up, as well as Bruno Mars, Black Sabbath and Nine Inch Nails.
There had been no prior announcements about the gig, which was not accessible to the general public. In fact, the first anyone really knew of it was when the names of the acts were hung up on the venue’s marquee a few hours in advance.

It’s only a 600-capacity venue, and the lucky attendees will have had quite the experience seeing stadium-filling acts in such a unique, intimate environment. In fact, Foo Fighters will be at the Los Angeles Forum over the weekend playing to 18,000 people

Pop Star Raves About Small Town Singer Liz Fulmer After Attending Boyfriend Taylor Kinney’s Methodist Church

Lady Gaga news revealed how the pop star raved about a small town singer named Liz Fulmer.  According to Lady Gaga news from Daily Mail, the "Poker Face" singer discovered the amateur when she attended a service at the Methodist church of her boyfriend, Taylor Kinney.

The congregation's worship singer admitted she got nervous upon learning that Lady Gaga will be present at their church's 10am service. A worship leader at Grandview United Methodist Church in Manheim Township, Pennsylvania, Liz Fulmer even posted on Facebook to "send prayers" for her and their worship team.
An English major from Millersville University, minor in Music, Liz Fulmer admitted: "I'm a huge fan (of Lady Gaga)."
"So I calmed down, then went to my spot... and when I began playing, I was like, 'hey, work it out'," she told Daily Mail about singing in front of the superstar.
Liz Fulmer recalled: "During the song, it's like she wasn't there. Then I got nervous again when I was done."
During the worship service attended by Lady Gaga, the praise singer performed her original song, "He Is Coming."
She explained how she wrote it specifically for Christmas. "It's about how Bethlehem is still pertinent today. It's not just an old story," the devout Methodist said.
Liz Fulmer was excited to learn that Lady Gaga looked for her after church to compliment her singing. "That would have been amazing," she gushed.
"People from the church told me that she whispered to her boyfriend that I was good," she proudly shared to Daily Mail.
The humble singer then revealed that the pop star got hold of her contact number from Taylor Kinney. Lady Gaga texted Liz Fulmer: "Hi Liz, it's Gaga... You were sensational. Keep up the amazing work."
She excitedly shared Lady Gaga news on Facebook. Liz Fulmer posted: "Gaga texted me to say I was "sensational/" and added the hashtag "sohappyicoulddie."

Lady Gaga and an un-autotuned Britney sing 'Telephone' in new leaked demo

A new demo has leaked featuring the original audio of an un-autotuned Britney Spears dueting with Lady Gaga on the now-famous track 'Telephone'.
The track, which surfaced online this week, features Brit and Gaga's original vocal rendition with Brit's autotune turned all the way down for most of the audio.
According to sources, Lady Gaga originally penned the track for Britney while she was making her album Blackout, but she passed on the song. The single was eventually released in 2010 featuring Beyonce, and went on to sell 3x Platinum in Australia.
We've previously seen a fully auto-tuned demo of 'Telephone' from Britney - however that version didn't feature Lady Gaga, so this is the first time that fans will hear the two pop superstars dueting on the track demo.

Lady Gaga Has Turned Her Instagram Selfies Into Ads For A Japanese Beauty Brand

Instagram/@ladygaga Lady Gaga is cashing in on her Instagram selfies. Lady Gaga has taken 50 selfies that have acted as the centerpiece for the Japanese beauty brand Shiseido's ad campaign during one of Japan's busiest shopping periods. The pop star, infamous for her Instagram selfies, has become the face — and the photographer — of Shiseido’s 2015 New Year’s campaign, according to WWD.
A Lady Gaga Shiseido ad appeared in numerous Japanese national and regional newspapers over the New Year's period. Forty-six of the photos were published on New Year's Day , with the remaining four pushed out Friday.
The fan site Gaga Media has compiled a list of most of the images that appeared in Japanese newspapers.
The ads are not set to appear outside of Japan, but the campaign has garnered worldwide attention thanks to Gaga's 4.8 million Instagram followers. Some of the ads that appeared in the newspapers (such as this one) were also posted on her Instagram account.
Making the activity all the more interesting is the fact that Gaga has failed to mention the selfies are part of a marketing push, or any affiliation with Shiseido. If anyone were to complain about the lack of signposting, Gaga and Shiseido could incur the wrath of advertising regulators.

In November, for example, a marketing push from the Mondelez cookie brand Oreo featuring popular YouTube stars taking part in a "licking race" was banned by the UK's Advertising Standards Authority because the YouTubers failed to clearly identify the videos were marketing communications.

Lady Gaga Engaged To 'Chicago Fire' Star Taylor Kinney?

The 28-year-old pop star has sparked engagement rumors when she tweeted a cryptic message on Dec. 25 that has many people speculating she and the "Chicago Fire" actor are already set to tie the knot.
"Merry Christmas monsters, today has been the happiest day of my life," the "Bad Romance" hitmaker wrote on the microblogging site. "Have a peaceful and healthy holiday."
While the couple has yet to confirm the engagement rumors, it would not be much of a surprise if the two came out as an engaged couple soon, as the 33-year-old actor was reportedly spotted ring shopping back in April.
"Taylor's been looking at engagement rings for Stef (Lady Gaga's real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanott) for a couple of months," an insider told Life & Style at the time. "He has told a couple of his close guy friends that he wants to propose soon."
"Taylor was considering proposing over her birthday (March 28)," the insider added. "But he hadn't found the right ring in time. He wants to find something unique that will suit her personality."
As for her part, Gaga was also seen shopping for wedding dress in Toronto back in July, and both the singer and the actor have been photographed sporting rings on their wedding finger, according to RumorFix.
During an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" back in 2013, Gaga recalled how her romance with the hunky "The Vampire Diaries" alum started.
"The first time he met me it was on the set of the 'You and I' video," Gaga said at the time as quoted by WENN. "[I was looking] ridiculously crazy... I've got these pins sticking out of my head and I'm wearing cork and I got no hair and I'm bald. And I mean, why he found me attractive just completely behooves (sic) me."
 "And we were in the middle of this scene and I remember that he kissed me and it wasn't scripted for him to kiss me and I was sort of like, 'Um, you know, was that real or was that fake?'" she added. "And he didn't really say anything and that was fine by me and we kept filming. And you know, at the end of the day he's my best friend and having your lover be your best friend. I mean, it's the best thing ever. It's the best thing I can say about it."
As for why she thinks they connected at once, Gaga explained, "He's a hidden weirdo. He is extremely strange, actually, and we complement each other's weirdness... That's actually one of the first things he ever said to me. It's a Dr. Seuss quote that you find in someone else a compatible weirdness."

Lady Gaga responds to Lily Allen 'martyr' praise: 'It was very sweet'

Lady Gaga has called Lilly Allen "very sweet" after hearing of her recent supportive comments.

Lily Allen recently defended the relatively poor sales of Gaga's ARTPOP album, saying that she should be "commended" for staying true to herself.

Speaking to BBC Radio 1's Scott Mills, Gaga called for all artists to support each other, rather than create rifts.

She said: "That's very sweet, I've always been a very big fan of hers and I appreciate her standing up for artists and for me in particular, that's really admirable for her to do that.

"I think all artists should stand by one another. When it becomes a competition then we're not supporting creativity and art, but when you support one another wholeheartedly then you're supporting everyone and anything to make what they love."

She added: "I thought that was very sweet, so thank you Lily, you're lovely."

Allen had previously said: "If she's not succeeding commercially because she's standing by what she does as art, then that's a f**king great thing.

"That's to be commended. That's what makes a martyr. There's nothing wrong with that."

Lady Gaga recently revealed that she has enough material for a second instalment of ARTPOP, and that she may release it in the coming months.

Lady Gaga defends vomit performance: 'It was art in its purest form'

Lady Gaga has defended her recent SXSW festival performance, which involved vomiting performance artist Millie Brown.

The singer described her performance of 'Swine' as "art in its purest form" during an interview on NBC's Today show.

Lady Gaga says the recent performance was "art in its purest form"

During the controversial performance, one of Gaga's backing dancers made herself throw up green vomit over the star.

Demi Lovato has criticised the ARTPOP star for the performance, accusing her of "glamorising eat disorders". She is also the target of an online petition.

Speaking to Today's Savannah Guthrie, Gaga said of the backlash: "I guess we weren't completely surprised. [Millie Brown] and I know that not everybody's going to love that performance.

Lady Gaga on stage at SXSW festival in Austin, Texas

"But we both really believe in artistic expression and strong identities. I support her and what she does. ARTPOP, my new album, is about bringing art and music together and the spirit of creative rebellion.

"For us, that performance was art in its purest form. But we totally understand that some people won't be into it."

The 27-year-old said that she did not intend for the performance to cause controversy.

Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney Attend Church, Gaga Praises Local Church Singer

Lady Gaga is used to getting accolades and praises from her fans. But on Sunday morning, the "Artpop" singer was the one to give her compliments to a local church singer in Pennsylvania.
The singer was in Pennsylvania to visit her boyfriend, Taylor Kinney, and his family. The pair attended a church service at Grandview Methodist Church in Manheim Township as one of Kinney's relatives was having a baptism there. Shortly before 10 a.m., worshippers were surprised to see the singer and the "Chicago Fire" actor step into the church.
The singer was dressed in a modest white dress with a pearl necklace used as a hair accessory, while Kinney was garbed in a blue button down shirt and black blazer. Lady Gaga was also seen taking pictures and videos of the service.
One local who was excited to see the stars at the church was church choir member Liz Fulmer, who sang her original song "He is Coming" at the service. Fulmer is part of the church's Celebration Team leadership and her job was to play upbeat music for the service.
According to Lancaster Online, Fulmer reportedly had the jitters when she learned that Gaga—whose real name is Stefani Germanotta—would be attending the 10am service.
"I'm a huge fan," said Fulmer to the site, "so I calmed down, then went to my spot." She also said that before singing, she told her friends on Facebook that she was nervous about singing in front of the singer and wrote, "Send prayers, please."
Afterwards, the site reports that Gaga was impressed with the performance and wanted to speak with Fulmer. Kinney was able to track down her number, and the singer texted Fulmer, "Hi Liz, it's Gaga. You were sensational. Keep up the amazing work."
Fulmer added that Gaga said that she would give her advice if she needed it. "She's a songwriter at heart. It was all very serendipitous for me. I really am a huge fan," said Fulmer.
