born this way

What’s Lady Gaga’s next logical step after emerging from an egg, wearing a meat dress and using a blood fountain as a stage prop? Unshaven armpits sprouting blue hair and matching blue pubic hair, of course. Gaga sported patches of fake blue hair in intimate areas while performing ‘Born This Way’ on the 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards, which aired Sunday on Fuse.

Who said the music industry is dead? As many had predicted, Lady Gaga sold over 1 million copies of 'Born This Way' in its first week of release. The exact number is 1.11 million copies, according to EW.com, making it the 10th-highest debut for a CD, and the best-selling debut since 50 Cent's 'The Massacre' sold 1.14 million copies in March 2005.

After her divisive second single, 'Judas,' Lady Gaga has returned with the third track off her upcoming CD 'Born This Way.' Titled 'The Edge of Glory,' the song is another uptempo anthem from the illusive pop star, and features everything from a heart-thumping intro to, um, a sax solo (which we're pretty sure was not performed by Jon Hamm). Does Gaga have another chart-topper on her hands? Listen

Hot on the heels of her new single, 'Judas,' Lady Gaga on Friday released the cover art for her upcoming album 'Born This Way' As one might guess, the cover is everything from awesome to downright bizarre, as it depicts the pop superstar as part-human, part-motorcycle (yep). According to her Twitter, the cover was designed by Nick Knight and the Haus of Gaga. 'Born This Way' hits shelves on May 23

She's taken the pop world by storm, and now, superstar Lady Gaga apparently has her sights set on country music. Yesterday, the Grammy-winning singer posted a country road version of her number-one hit single 'Born This Way' on YouTube, offering fans a rare side of the notoriously unpredictable icon.

Miia Maria managed to catch the attention of Lady Gaga herself when she posted up a rendition of "Born This Way" to YouTube. The performer was so impressed by the 10-year-old's soulful rendition of the song that she posted the video to her over 8 million followers on Twitter.
