Gagas VF goodies up for grabs
Now you can own a piece of Lady Gaga. The pop star has teamed with Tony Bennett and Annie Leibovitz to auction off the trios collaborations which appear in the current issue of Vanity Fair for charity, via eBay.com/celebrity. After recording the ditty The Lady Is a Tramp with Bennett for his Duets II album, Gaga posed nude for the crooner to paint. Leibovitz captured the session for VF, and also shot a series of additional Gaga fashion photos for the January issue. Items up for sale in the online auction, which begins at 1 p.m. today, include Bennetts original signed portrait of Gaga; the accessories Gaga wore for Leibovitzs photos, including Mercura sunglasses, House of Lavande earrings, an Alexis Bittar ring and a pair of Brian Atwood shoes; and an original print of the VF cover image of Gaga autographed by Leibovitz. Also on the block is a Gaga-signed poster of the cover, and more. All proceeds go to Exploring the Arts and the Born This Way Foundation.
