Wow, I’m actually liking this competely “normal” look on Gaga. Here’s a note from the editor: “Just as the Statue of Liberty was France’s gift to America, Gaga is, to us, New York’s greatest gift to pop culture and fashion. She embodies everything V is about, and is also a beacon of the city’s creativity and hope. Exactly one year after her first V cover (the first fashion magazine cover she was on), we decided to do the NEW YORK issue, and she was the first person who came to mind to represent our great city. In the year that’s passed, she has become a bonafide genius and we can safely declare her our muse. Above all, a New York issue should celebrate people who’ve done great things. We at V are grateful Gaga came along to put the New back in New York!”

“The New York Issue,” which features fashion and art in the most exciting city on Earth! Lady Gaga poses as the Statue of Liberty alongside designer Marc Jacobs for this cover, in which artist Dan Colen interpreted the iconic “V” using bubble gum as his medium. In total, V Magazine collaborated with 4 New York based artists for their creative take, and Colen’s is the first to be released for this exclusive preview. V67 hits newsstands TODAY, September 2nd.

A 2nd cover version stars Marina Abramovic (performance artist) and Tyson Ballou (model). Other notable NYers inside include supermodel Liya Kebede, hotelier Andre Balazs, Jake Shears from Scissor Sisters, Debbie Harry, Lady Bunny, Mark Ronson, Chloe Sevigny and MORE!

Late pass? Forget having to be creative and make your own Lady Gaga costume, you can now rock the same Lady Gaga gostume 9,000 other girls/guys will be wearing this Halloween! Some of them are actually really cute. Buy them here.

Look closer. It’s really the Lady herself. Lady Gaga dressed up in drag and honestly, I’m not surprised by this one bit. There isn’t really anything that she does that isn’t bananas. It shall be interesting to see what she does next though.

Thoughts?

Here is Lady Gaga for Rolling Stone’s newest issue, in nothing else but a thong and 2 machine guns. What do you guys think? Played out? Hot?

Lady Gaga’s newest music video is out. Thoughts? Best yet?

Gaga describes the video as “a celebration of my love and appreciation for the gay community, my admiration of their bravery, their love for one another and their courage in their relationships. In the video I’m pining for the love of my gay friends–but they just don’t want me to be with them.”

The video is directed by Steven Klein.

By now you have probably heard of the mysterious “iamamiwhoami”, but if you haven’t seen these visually intense videos all over the internet the past couple of months, welcome to one of the strangest viral marketing music campaigns ever made. The clips feature an ethereal synth-pop soundtrack with one unknown, mud-covered blonde doing cray things like being birthed from a tree and licking bark like an ice cream cone. Little Boots, Lady Gaga, Bjork, Fever Ray/The Knife, Lykke Li, Goldfrapp among countless others have all been suspected to be the anonymous woman in the videos. I wasn’t agreeing with any of these obvious theories. First of all, I believe ‘weirdos’ wouldn’t try to get our attention by acting like a ‘new weirdo.’ That is unless they were a panblanco pointdexter in the past. Think about it, wouldn’t you be be freaked out if Fever Ray wore a pinstriped business suit and a soccer mom bob to an awards show? I WOULD. Anyways, I have been a Bjork fan since I was 13. It takes a lot to weird me out and I may be a little jaded, but I can never resist an opportunity to put on my Google hat and get my Nancy Drew on…

Wow, I never thought I would say this, but Gaga looks absolutely breathe taking! It looks like she took a step away for a brief moment from the crazy costume’s, and stepped into a cute LBD, with normal make-up. Although we do all love her crazy outfits, there’s something sweet and cute about her in simple clothing.

On her ex boyfriend :
“I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I’d fail. I said to him, ‘Someday, when we’re not together, you won’t be able to order a cup of coffee a the fucking deli without hearing or seeing me.”

On her career:
“I ate shit for so long, being told I didn’t fit the mold and that I was ‘too pop’ or ‘too theater’…I’ve always been delusionally ambitious to the point where people don’t understand me.”

There are tons of questions we want to ask Lady Gaga. After all, she’s one of the most fascinating music artists
we’ve ever seen. And unlike most people who are given that title, she actually manages to live up to it—she’s a true artist—while still singing ultracatchy pop songs that make it impossible not to dance. She’s kind of a genius… but she’s also kind of bizarre. Who is she, really? We plan to find out.

But as we wait for her to meet us at a chic Las Vegas sushi restaurant, we’re completely preoccupied with the most obvious question of all: What the hell will she be wearing? That translucent bubble dress, a bra that shoots sparks, lingerie that oozes fake blood—Gaga never looks boring. In fact, we’d be shocked if she’s so much as touched a pair of sweat pants in her life.

Sadly, there are no pyrotechnics when we spot her strutting toward us in a pair of black shades, a skimpy bustier, and an impossibly tight vinyl miniskirt. Just as we realize we have no idea what to call her (though we bet “Stefani” will get us slapped), she stretches out a pale, delicate hand in our direction and declares “Gaga.” Of course.

We offer her a cocktail, but she has a soldout concert in a few hours, and she doesn’t want to drink before the show. Instead, she orders riceless sushi and dressingless salad. For Gaga, life is all about being in the spotlight… and why would she do anything to jeopardize that? “My friends joke that I’m dead until I get onstage,” she says. “I’m dead right now as you’re speaking to me.”

This issue is on newsstands March 9th.

I love her sooo much more after reading these snippets of her interview!
