Terry Richardson Helps Lady Gaga Get Ready For Some Footbaaaaaaaaaaaall

Lady Gaga isn’t about to sit around in her sweatpants all day eating seven-layer dip to commemorate Super Bowl XLVI this Sunday. Well…maybe just a little dip. She is rooting for her home team, after all. Luckily for Lady Gaga, she had her frequent collaborator photographer Terry Richardson on hand to help her really become one with the pigskin, Gaga style. Oh, and just to be clear, Gaga style means topless and snarling.

“Lady Gaga holding a football,” Richardson captioned the most sporty shot in their photo shoot. “Go Giants!” Terry also snapped Gaga astride a motorcycle, which seems like the least practical way to get to Indianapolis before kick-off, but what do we know? We still have so much chili to make before Sunday; we don’t have time for cycling or snarling! Plus we really should not be topless around the Crock Pot.

Madonna Compares Lady Gaga To Britney Spears. As A Compliment. Sort Of.

Only a fabulous ice queen like Madonna could say something nice about a fellow pop star and have it seem like an insult. Or did she insult her and have it feel like praise? We honestly don’t know! In her new interview with The Advocate, the “Give Me All Your Luvin” singer delivers her compliments for Lady Gaga the only way she knows how: with a powerful backhand. “I can see why she has a young gay following. I can see that they connect to her kind of not fitting into the conventional norm.” Madonna said of the “Born This Way” chanteuse. “I mean, she’s not Britney Spears. She’s not built like a brick s–thouse.” Ouch! Though…should Gaga want to be a “s–thouse”? It has the s word in it! Should Britney be offended now? Madonna, you are some kind of beef mastermind.

Compared to Madge’s previous comments about Lady Gaga, however, calling her a poorly constructed outhouse might be as close to an olive branch as we’re going to get. “I thought, What a wonderful way to redo my song. I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was … interesting,” Madonna told Newsweek last month with regards to Gaga’s “Born This Way,” having also snarked about Gaga’s “obsessions having to do with me” to French paper Le Soir in September. “She seems to have had a challenging upbringing, and so I can see where she would also have that kind of connection, a symbiotic relationship with gay men,” Madonna concludes to The Advocate. Thank…you? That is…sweet? We smell a…duets album?

Celine Dion Flashes Her Audience In A Super Short Dress

First we were a little shocked at seeing these pix of Celine Dion strutting the stage in a short dress that would even make Tina Turner blush. But then we realized that she probably has a lot of competition with other “flashy” entertainers like Rihanna and Lady Gaga. A diva’s got to do what a diva’s got to do, we suppose! Celine debuted her new look at the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival in Trelawny, Jamaica last night. And from the looks of it, we’re guessing the front few rows got a little more than they bargained for as Celine jack-knifed across the boards. We don’t know what she was singing, but we kinda diggin’ this new soulful Celine. Check out more in the gallery below!

Lady Gaga Creates The Born This Way Foundation To Help Combat Bullying

Lady Gaga may be one of the most famous people on the planet, but she definitely does more than her share to stick up for those with less power. She has passionately campaigned for LGBT rights and lent her bazillion dollar voice to speak out against bullying. She met with President Obama in September to discuss the creation of an anti-bullying legislation, and now Mama Monster is taking matters into her own hands by launching her long-awaited Born This Way Foundation.

The organization is set to launch on February 29 (but of course) at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and will work in tandem with the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the California Endowment and several other groups. Gaga will direct the non-profit charity alongside her mother, Cynthia Germanotta. According to the press release, the foundation aims to “explore the best ways to reach youth and create a new culture of kindness, bravery, acceptance and empowerment.”

Lady Gaga’s Last Fashion Moments Of 2011

We expected drama and a fair amount of crazy from Lady Gaga on New Year’s Eve, and the singer did not disappoint. It was like a representation of the 2011 Gaga fashion zeitgeist complete with incomprehensible hats, wigs and a hell of a lot of sequins. She was performing at Times Square in New York, and the outfit you see on the left is what she wore while making her grand entrance. How do we even describe that hat? Queen Amidala goes to the disco? While wearing a borderline bondage silver gown. That’s what we’re sticking with. In the middle, we have a spiked black catsuit with the shoulder pads-on-steroids, which is what she put on to perform on stage. And lastly, the photograph on the right is Gaga heading to her father’s new restaurant, Joanne’s, for a New Year’s Eve party. It’s what we’d like to call “What Marilyn Monroe would have worn in 2062.” And then 2012 rolled in and Gaga burst into flames and rose phoenix-like from the ashes … naked. We kid. But you know it might happen one day!

The 25 Worst-Dressed Stars Of 2011: Vote For The Best…Of The Worst

2011 brought along with it a host of new fashion trends, from long-sleeved gowns to daytime sequins to the ever-unfortunate mullet dress. The biggest trend of all, however, seems to have been stars looking like a volcanically hot mess. Yes, like a single strand of pearls or a little black dress, celebrities sashaying down the red carpet in cringe-inducing couture never gets old. After all, these are people who all have stylists. Who they pay real money. To make them look good. We know.

Without further ado, check out our Worst-Dressed Stars of 2011 gallery then vote on your favorite misguided celebs. Will it be Paz de la Huerta or Nicki Minaj? Katy Perry or Courtney Stodden? Lady Gaga or Snooki? As long as famous people continue to have little to no taste, we’ll all be winners here.

Lady Gaga has entered her third year at the top of the pop world, and she is showing no signs of dragging when it comes to her fab style. 2011 not only brought us a new album from Mama Monster, but 365 (at least!) deliciously insane outfits that constantly make us put our paws up in reverent salute!

Next year if she really wants to freak us out, she should bust out some Old Navy. Join us in the gallery below as we count down Lady Gaga 50 (yes, 50!) craziest looks of 2011. Enjoy!

Lady Gaga’s Ex-Assistant Sues For $380,000 In Unpaid Wages

Lady Gaga, we expect more from an enigmatic pop superstar like yourself. Sure, carry the Elephant Man’s bones in a canvas tote or rent out a pyramid sarcophagus in New Orleans if you want, but mistreating your workers? That seems bizarrely out of character, so we hope this latest allegation is untrue. According to CNN, however, Lady Gaga‘s ex-assistant Jennifer O’Neill is currently suing the diva for almost $380,000, payment for the whopping 7,168 hours of unpaid overtime O’Neill claims to have accumulated in 2009 and 2010. You know wig-related tasks alone could have easily add up to 500 hours. Shouldn’t quality weave wrangling be justly rewarded?

According to the lawsuit she filed December 14, O’Neill claims Monster Monster was, well, something of a goblin queen while on her Monster’s Ball tour, often requiring her assistant to work without breaks for meals or adequate sleep, as well as functioning as Gaga’s “personal alarm clock” and “ensuring the promptness of a towel following a shower.” Predictably, Gaga’s reps says O’Neill’s “lawsuit is completely without merit.” It had better be, Gaga. Don’t you know we’d wake you up with fresh hot towels for free? You would if you would just read any of our letters.

A Very Gilded Lady Gaga Gets Mobbed In Japan

Look at the crowd around Lady Gaga! She was at Shabu Shabu Restaurant in the nightclub district of Roppongi in Tokyo last night, as she’s in town to perform at ‘Music Station SUPER LIVE 2011′ at Chiba’s Makuhari Messe, tomorrow. When her fans got wind that she was there, as it’s one of her favorites spots to visit, they landed up en masse. And waited for her in the freezing cold, we might add. The photograph you’re seeing is the mania that ensued when Mother Monster walked out of the restaurant wearing a hardcore, metallic gold jacket and gloves. There’s no mob like a Lady Gaga mob! Click after the jump to see a bonus picture of her outfit. (more…)
