By Andrea Reiher April 23, 2013 2:16 PM ET Follow @andrealeigh203 on Twitter | Google Lady Gaga is currently taking some time off to recover from hip surgery in February -- but that doesn't mean she can't play around with her hairstyle.

New Look Alert: Lady Gaga Sports Peroxide Chopped Bob!

Judging by her history of wacky hairstyles (pink, green, shaved, bows- you name it, shes tried it), one might be led to think that Lady Gaga wouldnt be opting for anything remotely conventional anytime soon. However, on Sunday, the 27-year-old starlet chose LAs legendary Chteau Marmont as the venue to showcase her brand new peroxide bob. We love! Although her tresses have become more outrageous over time, every now and then Miss Gaga has been known to throw a slightly more traditional style into the mix, proving there is no end to her style file. Since undergoing an operation on her hip in February, Lady G has been taking time out of the spotlight to recuperate, so perhaps this hairstyle comes as a welcome break for the singer, usually known for sporting some seriously zany wigs and dramatic dos. Lady Gaga has previously admitted to getting her hair cut short because of the damage caused by the chemicals and dyes she frequently uses, which could also explain her new, cropped style. Eit

Lady GaGa named 2nd most influential person over past 10 years

April 18, 2013 - 16:27 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Lady GaGa is more influential than J.K. Rowling and U.S. President Barack Obama, according to Time Magazine. However, it seemed that she had to defeat Aung San Suu Kyi first if she wanted to be the most influential icon of the past decade, AceShowbiz said. During the last ten years, GaGa collected a whopping $52 million, five Grammys, and over 35 million Twitter followers. She also set up a Born This Way Foundation which was dedicated to anti-bullying and youth empowerment schemes. As for Suu Kyi, she spent the most of her past 10 years being placed under house arrest while fighting for the freedom of Burma. After being released in 2010, she was elected to become part of the Burmese parliament in 2012. GaGa and Suu Kyi managed to beat other influential people including President Obama, First Lady of the U.S. Michele Obama, former United States Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, talk show host Oprah Winfrey, and Google founder Larry Page.

(Bauer Griffin) Lady Gaga narrowly missed out on being named the most influential person of the past decade by the online readers of TIME magazine, who cast their bids in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the TIME 100. Gaga emerged victorious in the Entertainment category, having nabbed easy wins against George Clooney and J.K. Rowling. She then managed to edge out Politics frontrunner Barack Obama, but was ultimately no match for the leading Icon: Aung San Suu Kyi , a Burmese politician and formerly one of the world's most famous political prisoners (she was released from house arrest after 15 years in 2010).
