During an interview with the syndicated radio morning show Johnjay and Rich on Monday (May 9), Lady Gaga revealed that she’s looking forward to performing on the season finale of ‘Saturday Night Live’ and that she will perform some sketches with host Justin Timberlake. The pop star said she previously attended theater school and that she’s looking forward to performing live skit, and giving herself a “good nervous breakdown” on live television. She added that having ‘Born This Way’ getting covered by Weird Al was “a turning point in my career” and was “a right of passage”. The season finale of ‘SNL’ airs May 21st.

Lady Gaga is out with the music video to her new single ‘Judas’, off the American pop singer’s new album ‘Born This Way’, out May 23rd on Interscope Records. “People say that I’m trashy. or pretentious or this and that,” Gaga told NME. “[The video] is my way of saying ‘I’ve crossed the line, I won’t even try to repent. Nor should I’.” Watch the Laurieann Gibson directed video via YouTube below.
Lady Gaga gave an inspirational message to fans at her Long Island concert on Saturday (April 23). “Tonight I want you to forget all your insecurities,” the singer told the crowd. “I want you to reject anyone or anything that’s ever wanted to make you feel like you’re not good enough. Like you don’t belong.” Watch it via YouTube below.
Lady Gaga is defending her song ‘Born This Way’ after it was compared with Madonna’s ‘Express Yourself’, and in the process had to apologize for using an offensive term. “I’m a songwriter. I’ve written loads of music. Why would I try to put out a song and think I’m getting one over on everybody,” the 25-year-old said during an interview with NME. “What a completely ridiculous thing to even question me about. I will look you in your eyes and tell you that I am not dumb enough or moronic enough to think that you are dumb enough or moronic enough not to see that I would have stolen a melody. If you put the songs next to each other, side by side, the only similarities are the chord progression. It’s the same one that’s been in disco music for the last 50 years. Just because I’m the first fu**ing artist in 25 years to think of putting it on Top 40 radio, it doesn’t mean I’m a plagiarist, it means that I’m fu**ing smart.”
The pop star has since told PerezHilton.com: “I consider it part of my life’s work and music to push the boundaries of love and acceptance. My apologies for not speaking thoughtfully. To anyone that was hurt, please know that it was furiously unintentional. An honest mistake, requires honesty to make,” she said. “Whether life’s disabilities, left you outcast bullied or teased, rejoice and love yourself today.”

Lady Gaga’s creative director Laurieann Gibson tells E! that the egg the pop star arrived in to February’s Grammy Awards will likely make another appearance when she promotes her upcoming album ‘Born This Way’ ahead of its May 23rd release. Gibson says:
The vessel’s actually stored, and I’m sure it’ll come out again. I think it’s such a beautiful piece that I would like to bring it out again for a moment. I think we’re getting ready to do a lot of television in May, right before the album drops, so I think we’ll use it somewhere in there.
With Lady Gaga on again with Luc Carl, a friend of the night club manager says marriage and children could soon be in their future. “Luc is so respectful and sees Gaga as his soulmate, not just a lover. He knows she’s ‘The One’ and can’t wait to settle down and have kids with her. She feels he makes her complete,” the source told more! magazine in their ‘Gaga’s Summer Wedding Plans’ cover story. “As a couple, it’s second-time round for these two. It was largely a physical attraction before, but now they’re completely absorbed in one another, physically and emotionally. So they want to prove their commitment by getting married.”
Lady Gaga is back with a new episode of Gagavision, the web series the pop star did when launching her career.
