Lady Gaga isn't making any promises about when her long-awaited third studio album, ARTPOP , will drop, but when it does she plans to celebrate. "Don't worry. Nerdface Killah is studio stuntin," she tweeted on Tuesday along with a picture of her in a mousy brown wig, oversized black hat and giant eyeglasses. "Man I love making records." She followed up with some very specific instructions for her Little Monsters on how to get ready for the disc. "Oh. And when I tell you the album release date, I suggest you plan a party with your friends. Maybe I will too :)" While she didn't give any more details on when work might be completed, last week MTV News spoke to pal and former tourmate Zedd, who revealed that there is significant work left to do on the potentially two-disc set. "The problem with her is obviously that I'm busy and I tour a lot, but she's probably a lot busier than I am, so it's hard to find time to work on someth...

"Say, what?" Lady Gagas monstrous number of YouTube views have been significantly reduced -- we are talking millions, specifically 156 millions views -- when the site decided to clear out old videos in an auditing move. According to Digital Spy , this cleaning-up process is done not only on Lady Gagas account but also on other artistes after some of their videos had been redistributed to their VEVO pages. A YouTube spokesperson clarified to Billboard : This was not a bug or a security breach. This was an enforcement of our view count policy. Besides the Born This Way hitmaker, Beyonce, Chris Brown and Leona Lewis are also amongst those who have been affected by YouTubes auditing act.

Where in the world is Lady Gaga's new album?! GUYS! Wouldn't it be everything if Lady Gaga 's random costumes , accessories , hairstyles, and meat dresses were all just leading up to THE ULTIMATE evolution? That is to say, Gaga morphing into '90s icon/fictional international thief Carmen Sandiego ?! Because she is NAILING the PBS game show villain's look with that hat in the photo above (not to mention her OTHER resemblance to "Daria Morgendorffer" with the hair and glasses ). Side note: If you're not getting our '90s references, we suggest you put that fancy Instagram machine down and do some research, because both characters were among the most epic things to EVER come out of that decade (next to Pogs and snap bracelets). CAPICHE? The "Lady Is A Tramp " singer shared the photo on Twitter along with a VERY exciting caption, "Dont worry. Nerdface Killah is studio stuntin. Man I love making records." While we add Gaga's ...

(via Twitter) Though Lady Gaga has an intensely close relationship with her fanbase, the so-called Little Monsters, it's still very rare that she offers them a peek at the woman beneath the makeup and the glittering headdresses.

"My heart is with you Brazil," Gaga wrote, adding, "Sending my prayers to the families and friends who lost loved one in the fire in Brazil. Im thinking of you today during this tragedy."

A line of diehard Lady Gaga fans started forming early Thursday, a full week before her concert at the Toyota Center with about a dozen youngsters spending the weekend outside the Toyota Center. For the pop star's concert this Thursday, Houston fans are taking advantage of a first-come, first-serve policy for Lady Gaga's latest tour. Several tents are packed along the sidewalk across the street from the Toyota Center, where ticket holders have created an unofficial system using permanent markers to write down their place in line on the back of their hands. The first few hundred general admission ticket holders will be able to be in the front section called the "Monster Pit" at Lady Gaga's shows. "We just want to get as close to the stage as possible," said Cody Anagonstou, 18, who was one of the first few to join the line last Thursday morning. The fans have a honor system, respecting the order when people arrived with a numbering system and holding a p...

Josh Bell Sun, Jan 27, 2013 (4:52 p.m.) Go Gaga: You never know what might happen when Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta takes thestage. PictureGroup LADY GAGA January 25, MGM Grand Garden Arena Lady Gaga provided a perfect metaphor for her own self-image early during her concert at the MGM Grand Garden Arena this past weekend. After the first couple of songs, she took the stage attached to a giant inflatable torso with the exaggerated features of a pregnant woman. As Gaga finished singing Born This Way, she disappeared from the top of the torso, only to reemerge from between the legs, symbolically giving birth to herself. Every aspect of the show made it clear that no matter how popular her songs may be, Gagas most prized creation is her own persona, the bizarrely dressed figure of inspiration for her army of Little Monsters. And she had a lot to say to those Little Monsters, pausing numerous times to offer up empowering stories of her own origins, or to encourage people to be themse...

Posted: Jan. 26, 2013 | 6:54 p.m. No one saw the giant inflatable vagina coming. But there it was. And there she was, emerging from it, framed by a pair of air-filled legs spread into what looked like an anatomical goal post. Lady Gaga was "Born This Way" Friday night at the MGM Grand Garden. The song in question was one of self-acceptance, a reassuring, dance pop hand on the shoulder. "There's nothing wrong with loving who you are," Gaga sang over a hydraulic beat that registered with the steady insistence of a jackhammer chipping away at concrete. "I'm beautiful in my way," she added on the Stuart Smalley-worthy chorus. Flashback to the previous number, "Government Hooker," where Gaga sang of submission to the tune of a synthesizer that sounded as if it was passing gas, splayed across a desk at the foot of the stage, receiving simulated cunnilingus from a chap in a spiked headdress. In the span of a song, Gaga went from rubbing your nos...

The Born This Way star and the 86-year-old Blue Velvet singer previously performed a duet for one of Tony's albums, and they were rumoured to be planning to make a jazz record together. Gaga has now revealed the collaboration is definitely in the pipeline by tweeting a picture of the pair, with the message: "And here's me and my handsome date, I simply cannot wait for our album together, he's my darling." The pair - who appeared on stage together this week at the White House Staff Ball, to celebrate US President Barack Obama's inauguration - haven't said when they might unveil their album. Last year Tony told Rolling Stone that he would be working with Gaga. The singer, who said he refers to 26-year-old Gaga as "the musical Picasso", said: "I'm looking forward to it because a lot of people don't know it, but she's a phenomenal jaz...

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga / Photos by Getty Images Confirmed duets album will reaffirm Mother Monster is "one of the best jazz singers that anyone's ever heard." The prospect of a collaborative album between Lady Gaga and old-time crooner Tony Bennett first surfaced last fall , but since then the Mother Monster's name has collected pageviews by appearing alongside Kendrick Lamar , the Rolling Stones , Jack White , and Jennifer Lopez . Now, Gaga has issued a reminder that her and Bennett's jazz record is indeed on the way.

Lady Gaga's "Little Monsters" will soon meet veteran crooner Tony Bennett. Fresh off their duet at one of this week's staff inaugural balls, Lady Gaga, 26, revealed that she plans to record an album with the 86-year-old Bennett. Earlier, Gaga tweeted: This wouldn't be the first time Gaga and Bennett have joined forces. They recorded a version of "The Lady is a Tramp" for Bennett's 2011 "Duets II" collection. They performed that same song for the White House staff gala on Tuesday in front of 10,000 guests, coinciding with President Barack Obama's second inauguration. Meanwhile, Gaga has a busy year ahead. Her new album , "ARTPOP," will be out this spring. She's also expected to star in a film about her life and the recording of her new album.

Lady Gaga heads to the Staples Center in Downtown Los Angeles ahead of her concert. (Pacific Coast News) more pics Lady Gaga understands if her Little Monsters are pissed at her for taking such a long time to release her long-awaited album ARTPOP especially given how much she's talked it up over the past several months. Last month, she admitted that she wasn't too pleased with the wait, either: "I feel so bad. I know you all wanna kill me," she told fans in an online discussion. "But nobody writes my songs for me! Every single song you've ever heard by me, I created from nothing with friends. So it takes some time." It looks like it's going to take a even more time than Gaga fans had anticipated, judging by her collaborator Zedd's recent comments to MTV News. The EDM artist called the songs he's been working on with Gaga "rough," explaining, "The problem with her is obviously that I'm busy and I tour a lot, but she'...
