Rex Features / Masatoshi Okauchi/Rex Features Lady GaGa has said that she is looking for someone to father her child via in vitro fertilisation. The 'Born This Way' singer claimed that she is on the hunt for a man to help her produce the perfect offspring. GaGa, who is believed to be dating Pennsylvania-born actor and model Taylor Kinney , said that she wants the genes of someone who has an Italian heritage. She confessed on Spain's Radio Ibiza: "I want a baby from an Italian - possibly Sicilian - donor." The 25-year-old, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, is daughter to New York restaurant owner Joseph, who originates from Naso, Sicily. According to the Daily Mail , when asked by Italian media if GaGa was consulting him, Italy's leading artificial insemination medic Severino Antinori said: "I don't talk about my patients." > Lady GaGa reaches 18 million Twitter followers Watch the video for Lady GaGa's 'Marry The Night' belo

Two Door Cinema Club have praised Lady GaGa for helping to give "exposure" to indie bands. The group were asked by the star to remix her Born This Way album track 'Electric Chapel' last year, which they admitted was an opportunity too good to turn down . PA Images / Charles Sykes/AP Lady GaGa also commissioned other indie acts such as Wild Beasts, Metronomy and The Weeknd to rework some of her songs for Born This Way: The Remix . Talking to NME about GaGa's decision to have lesser-known acts remix her work, Two Door Cinema Club frontman Alex Trimble said: "It was a really nice thing to see that she was getting a lot of indie artists to remix her stuff. "I thought if she was doing a remix album she'd have people like David Guetta or Tiesto , so it's nice that she's taking lesser known acts and independent artists, and is giving them exposure." Asked whether he was surprised that Lady GaGa is a fan of Two Door Cinema Club, Trimble

On July 12, 2011, Lady Gaga s private jet touched down on Australian soil. She was in town to promote her new album. The only formal gig planned for her was a mini-concert at the Sydney Town Hall. The venue was renamed Monster Hall in honor of her fans, who she regularly refers to as "Little Monsters." Within hours of her arrival, she put out her first tweet: Thinking of going out in Sydney tonight. How I wish we had a show. NEVERMIND, don't listen to me. Maybe Ill just go for a walk in the pARQ. So, had Lady Gaga travelled 20 hours for just the one concert? As the hours ticked by, her many Sydney fans pondered the deeper meaning of her cryptic tweet. By late afternoon, theyd cracked it. Nevermind and Arq are the names of two popular Sydney nightspots. The fans began gathering at these venues from early evening. And then, just past the stroke of midnight, she entered stage right and began singing " Born This Way ." The crowd was ecstatic. Once again the fans had

Promoters of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival raised eyebrows in the concert business last fall when they decided to clone the three-day gathering and make it a six-day, two-weekend affair, but doubters fell silent as tickets sold out shortly after going on sale earlier this month. And that's not the half of it. "There were enough buyers in queue online that we probably could have added two more Coachella weekends and another Stagecoach weekend," said Randy Phillips , president of AEG Live , the concert promotion giant that works in conjunction with Goldenvoice to put Coachella and its country cousin, Stagecoach, on each year in Indio. PHOTOS: The Boss, Waters, Gaga and Bieber hit the circuit in 2012 Music fans are already exhibiting a healthy appetite for concert tickets in the first month of 2012, which is putting the year on track to be another strong one at the box office and perhaps a record-setting one.

TV Service ZAO -- a media company that owns the Russian music network MUZ-TV -- filed the legal docs in Miami, claiming it paid the $1.5 mil to book Gaga for the upcoming MUZ-TV awards in June ... but the deal fell through ... and they still haven't gotten their money back. According to the lawsuit, ZAO attempted to book Gaga through a Miami-based management firm called NWE -- which claimed it had the necessary Gaga connections to lock down the pop star for the summer appearance. But ZAO claims NWE was just blowing smoke -- and ultimately failed to secure the singer. ZAO claims it has repeatedly asked for its money back, but NWE has refused -- and worse ... siphoned off $300,000 from the 7-figure sum as a broker fee. ZAO is suing for ALL its money back, plus damages. Calls to NWE have not been returned. more on this story TM

Lady Gaga has promoted a music video aimed to further strengthen her campaign on anti-bullying of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender). Produced by CeeJbee Productions, the fan-made music video for Lady Gagas single entitled Hair is going viral with over 340,000 hits on YouTube as of this posting. In December 2011, the singer-songwriter decided to take her anti-bullying campaign to a bigger stage.

MAIN lady gaga (Pics:Splash) I think, by now, we all know Lady Gaga is a little eccentric. So it should come as little surprise to learn her kookiness extends from her footwear to her food. The American star, 25, is insisting on eating only food personally prepared by her favourite British chef, Angela Farmer, when she visits London in the next few weeks. Sous chef Angela, who works at the swanky Lanesborough hotel, is being wheeled out to help Gaga stay on track with her strict diet during her next visit here. Advertisement >> Gaga maintains a healthy lean protein, low GI diet, eating five small meals a day, and drinking only cups of tea, sugar-free fruit squash and coconut water. But the diet allows for one cheat day a week where she can scoff anything off-menu. Including booze... because shes rock n roll, innit. A member of Gagas entourage says: Gaga loves Angela, whos lovely, smiley and prepares exquisite meals for her. Gaga wont eat anything unless its been specifically prep

Lady Gaga has been helping her father with the opening of his restaurant. The 'Judas' hitmaker - real name Stafani Germanotta - has been advising her dad Joe Germanotta on what to put on the menu at his New York eatery Joanna Trattoria, while sister Natali has been creating art to go on the walls. A source told The Sun newspaper: "It's a real family effort. They've all been getting stuck in." The restaurant's food selection includes a 10-layer lasagne, Grandma Rosie's meatballs, Nutella doughnuts and mini-martinis. It will be run by Joe and celebrity chef Art Smith, and although Gaga has been happy to help out in the kitchen, her father sometimes worries because she is left handed. He said: "She's left handed and every time I watch her chop, it makes me cringe." While Gaga has been helping out in the restaurant, her parents have warned fans not to expect the eatery to be filled with memorabilia relating to their famous daughter. Joe told

The 'Pokerface' hitmaker has been helping dad Joe Germanotta prepare for the big opening of his New York venue, called Joanne Trattoria. Gaga has advised him on what to put on the menu, which is full of family recipes including a ten-layer lasagne, Grandma Rosie's Meatballs, mini-martinis and Nutella doughnuts. "It's a real family effort. They've all been getting stuck in," the Sun quoted a source as saying. The singer has commissioned her sister Natali, a budding designer, to create art for the walls and the restaurant will be run by her dad and US celebrity chef Art Smith. Even though Joe is more than happy to have his famous daughter's help, he dreads it every time she reaches for a knife.

TORONTO - It's that time of year again. The Queen Street streetcar has been replaced by buses while teenagers from all over have set up camp chairs along Toronto's downtown sidewalks, all in preparation for the 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards. But can you really call the event an awards show if a number of the awards are handed out on the red carpet, potentially before the recipients have arrived? It's a strategy that certainly streamlined the show - getting rid of a number of pesky acceptance speeches - but it did make the whole thing more like an elaborate concert than a party about honouring talent. Nonetheless, the weather was perfect and the area around MuchMusic's downtown headquarters was transformed into a compound of stages, red carpets and screaming fans. All prerequisites for a show bookended with Lady Gaga performances and peppered by celebrity appearances by the likes of Justin Bieber and co-host Selena Gomez, performances by The Black Keys, Bruno Mars, and Cit

While he held his tongue at first, hes now comfortable enough with Gaga, 25, to make it clear he has no desire to live with a stage act. Taylor has convinced her that he loves the real Stefani, says an insider to In Touch. Luckily for him, the singer promised to be more human after all, she wasnt born that way!

But before you start lining up around the block, Little Monsters, Cynthia and Joe Germanotta want to make it clear: This isnt their daughters restaurant. In an interview with the New York Times, the Germanottas seem to be slightly concerned that their daughters superstar status will threaten the eaterys low key atmosphere. One tweet and its over, Cynthia Germanotta told the Times her blue eyes widening.

Lady Gaga's boyfriend has told her to drop her eccentric alter-ego when she's with him. The pop superstar has been dating Taylor Kinney for six months and the hunky actor has reportedly told his world famous lover she doesn't need to dress up in wacky outfits or act bizarre when the pair are together. A source told In Touch Weekly magazine: "Gaga started living and breathing her character 24/7 because she felt her fans wanted that."

A new Italian restaurant plans to take customers to the edge of ravioli. Joseph and Cynthia Germanotta, the parents of Lady Gaga , have opened a Manhattan restaurant, Joanne Trattoria, the New York Times reports . Some fans have already sought it out thanks to a Gaga appearance there on New Year's Eve, but her parents are hoping the eatery won't be overwhelmed with her millions of little monsters. "One tweet and it's over," Cynthia told the Times. Instead, Joanne will offer more of a neighborhood feel, albeit one with $25-$30 entrees. "If they're expecting to come in here and see Grammys and pictures and stuff like that, it's not going to happen," Joseph said, adding that his daughter "generates a lot of sizzle." Gaga told ABC News in November that "My dad and I opened up a restaurant together," but her father told the Times that the singer is in fact not an owner of the new eatery.

An advertisement featuring Lady Gaga clad in suspenders and a body harness while rubbing her bare stomach is not "overtly sexual", the advertising watchdog has ruled. A viewer challenged whether the television advert, which promoted the singer's CD, was suitable to be broadcast when children might be watching. The commercial featured various clips from her music videos, which could be seen on music channels at all times of the day, Universal Music argued. The company also said it had specifically scheduled the ad to be broadcast during programmes aimed at their target audience of 16 to 44-year-old women. It added the advert had been checked by Clearcast, which vets advertisements to ensure they meet required standards, said the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). Clearcast said Lady Gaga was renowned for her "inventive and provocative" style and they believed that viewers would expect her to wear outlandish and eccentric costumes, the ASA said. It argued the

Rihanna has beaten Lady GaGa to become the most-viewed female artist on YouTube. The singer passed the 2 billion views milestone over the weekend after her international hit 'We Found Love' passed 115 million views. PA Images / Charles Sykes/AP Despite Lady GaGa becoming the first musician to hit 1 billion views on the site, the star's latest music videos have failed to match the successes of her previous hits, reports Billboard . Recent cuts 'You And I' and 'Marry The Night' have gained 49m and 31m views respectively, but failed to reach the popularity of 'Bad Romance', which currently has over 443m views. However, both stars trail Justin Bieber who is currently YouTube's most popular artist with his music videos tallying up over 2.2 billion views. > Rihanna named biggest-selling digital artist of all time > Rihanna most talked-about singer on Facebook in 2011 Watch the music video for Rihanna's 'We Found Love' below:

YouTube has a new queen. Rihanna has topped Lady Gaga 's video views to become the site's most-viewed female artist. The "We Found Love" singer hit 2,068,076,591 views over the weekend. Gaga, the first musician to hit one billion views on YouTube back in October 2010, has failed to sustain the hundred million-view pace of tracks such as "Bad Romance" and "Telephone" with more recent efforts such as "You and I" and "Marry the Night," which still top 49 and 31 million, respectively. Rihanna's "We Found Love," by contrast, stands at over 115 million views after three months. Both women run behind Justin Bieber , YouTube's most popular singer. His videos have earned over 2.2 billion views.
