I always have to give Lady Gaga credit for putting a lot of thought and effort into her dealings with the press. Not just in interviews, but in simple press conferences too, Lady Gaga takes pains to deliver noteworthy moments so that the press corps has something to write about. Take these new photos of Gaga in New Dehli, India earlier today. She’s going to be performing in New Dehli at an after-party shoe for India’s Formula 1 debut. It’s a big deal, sure, but she didn’t need to make the press conference this kind of big deal, with the debut of a new multi-colored wig and a giant ball gown and a temporary tattoo in what looks like Sanskrit. I think she’s sitting on a throne, and she might be wearing real diamonds too. Also: she looks really puffy, right? Coke bloat? Or just weight gain?
Radar also has a story about PETA’s Indian activists who are trying to convince Gaga to do a special “vegetarian” meat dress for her appearance in a country with hundreds of millions of vegetarians:
Is Lady Gaga’s next outrageous outfit that of a walking salad bar? If PETA India activists get their way, absolutely: The organization is urging the Born This Way singer to wear a dress made of lettuce when she headlines an invitation-only show in New Delhi this weekend, following India’s first Formula 1 Grand Prix race.
The dress, Sachin Bangera of PETA said, would take about five to six hours to construct, as Gaga would be decked out with lettuce leaves held together by pins and threads.
“If she agrees, we’ll make her a dress entirely of lettuce and held together by pins and threads,” Bangera said. “It will be a full length gown, and we’ll make sure it looks sexy … someone will be on hand to spray the lettuce with water so that it doesn’t wilt.
Gaga famously wore a meat dress the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, which will be on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland until February.

Blah. That’s pretty boring. Luckily, Star Magazine has a much more interesting story about Gaga’s love life. Apparently, she’s still boning Tayloy Kinney, that hottie from her “You & I” video. Star claims that Kinney has moved in with Gaga, but there’s trouble because Gaga is still casually seeing Ol’ Luc Carl. A source tells the mag, “She feels Taylor loved the real her. She’s given him the keys to her sprawling homes on both coasts, and if he’s not working, he’s with her. But… Gaga is still talking to and seeing Luc. They’re not over.” Why is doing this? Because, the source claims, “She loves pitting men against each other, feeling worshipped. She’s always messing with people’s hearts.” Um, srsly? Taylor is a hot piece, Luc is a scummy douche. It really is that simple. Still, the “source” believes that Taylor is just a phase and that Gaga will end up back with Luc.

Sure she does. Don’t we all? 😉
It’s not fake sanskrit, it’s the tattoo she got ages ago in honor of her little monsters or something. Unless I’m dumber than usual.
I think this is the best she’s looked in a while. That dress is really classy!
what woman shouldn’t? good for her. she deserves it
That is the same tattoo she’s had for years.
It’s not for her fans (monsters..whatever) it’s the peom about writing something about in the deepest hour of night think to your self could you live if you couldn’t write…I butchered it but that’s the gist.
That tattoo isn’t fake, it’s in german, she said somewhere.
Well, Taylor K.has to climb the celeb ladder like anybody else in that town. Hopefully he’ll get something out of that relationship with Gaga because she’s too crazy not to be rewarded to stick with her!
Today she is Audrey H. How nice and oryginal.
I WANT THAT DRESS.
@ Lanster – when she just got it, I read her comments about it, and she said she got it in honor of her monsters.
Well eventually she’ll mature and realize that this kind of foolery has nothing to do with real love or self-respect and that affections shouldn’t be toyed with. Plus she’ll realize that she needs to supply herself with the honor she wants and not try to gain it from men (they wont give it to you if you screw with them like that anyway). I don’t think its becoming of anyone (M or F) to act entitled.
Or she’s a young woman who is enjoying life and feels no need to be monogamous & tied down to one man. Shocking!

love me some gaga…totally non-typical for someone like me, but the fact remains.
She rich so she can mess with men. If she wasnt rich and famous she couldnt shes far to ugly.
Wow, Mary, feeling feisty, huh? and sorry but it isn’t “to” it’s “too”
The tat is German and there are a hell of mistakes in it.
Nice to see her in a beautiful gown. But her face looks odd and tweaked.
The pics of her on that faux throne make her look like a self-absorbed little kid playing grown-up fantasy; well, i guess she has to do this since her music is downright awful – remember she blabbed about how BTW would be the album and song of the decade haven’t heard much about that lately have we. The pop music industry needs talent not hacks living out their adolescent fantasies enabled by platoons of handlers.
yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
Damn that tattoo is so big it needs its own billboard – oh, I forgot, that is what Lady Gaga is doing – she is the walking billboard.
She looks better with the sunglasses on.
@Jover, far from album of the decade, but it was a definite hit. Although I think she expected it to be Adele numbers, but it hasn’t. But Adele had a brilliant album. But a big disappointment to me. I gave up on it save four songs which are great.
Why would fight over that?!?
Apart for the money she’s making but then again earlier this year she was close to bankrupt because she was spending to much on costumes(cocaine).
iiiissssshhhh!
GAROSSSSS!!!
Wait, no one is going to comment on her looking yellow? She looks sickly, it looks like a washed out spraytan. Can’t she afford a good one?
Gaga is so overexposed. She needs to take a step back.
I think the colour might be from the colours all around her and her hair, lighting perhaps?
I think she looks great. I can’t say anything bad about Gaga.
I have the new album and in its entirety it doesn’t do much for me, not like her previous two but there are some really good songs on it with some good beats. That being said there are also some really lame ones too. I don’t usually like to FF past songs when listening to the whole CD but there are some I’m just like what is this SHIT!!?? on this CD.
She’s a talent though. She knows what she is doing and she’s been successful at it. I always want to know though, what’s next for her?!
My post up earlier didn’t make sense. Adele’s album is brilliant. Gaga’s Born This Way is theone I gave up on except four songs or so which are fantastic. The rest are generic or start off interesting but go nowhere. Sound production is intentionally messy on many songs.
Taylor Kinney is soooo hot, she needs to stick with him
The only interesting thing about Lady Gaga is Taylor Kinney.That man is hot.I’m not a fan but everytime that video’s on, I’ll stop everything and drool!!!
I agree with you jayna but some qualifications gaga spent 10 months marketing BTW How bad is it when only 4 of what 13-17 songs are decent – WIth today’s marketing yah it’s kinda of a hit but take away vids wrap around marketing,etc and can her music stand on it’s own. In the 60s/70s she would be a blip since the best music of that era pisses on today’s stuff.
Me too, gee…WANT the dress.
bored now.
yawn…
She wore a meat dress! How stupid is PETA to fall for her schtick of saying oh yes ill wear a lettuce dress. She will not be saying dont eat meat or promoting not eating meat – she’ll just use it for attention. Next she wear a fur dress.
It’s so smart of her to look over the top but not *eye-rolly* over the top- I think we were all getting sick of that. I’m totally digging this.
Beautiful tattoo.
“I WANT THAT DRESS”
Get in line. 🙂
She should drop them both for Rico the Zombie Boy!
@Jover, you’re right. Gaga has spent a long time marketing and promoting this album just to get the sales she did. Adele a small portion of that marketing, and her album is still selling gangbusters because of the quality of her music.
I also agree about timeless songs. Not many these days from pop singers. More disposable pop. But I like disposable pop as long as it’s really catchy. LOL . Edge of Glory for Gaga will be a true classic off this album. Beautiful song.
mmm she really is not a pretty or beautiful girl.. she looks washed out.. bucked teeth/overbite.. where are her eyelashes…?.. and that schnoz… all right all right.. just sayin’
ahem
Don’t get it, I find the old stars she’s copying Bette and Cher and all way more fun. Something less exhausting and more entertaining before this oogly fake beast.
That’s not a temp tat. She’s had that since day 1. look back at old photographs, come on, this is just lazy reporting.
And it’s awful cruel to call someone coke-bloat because their face isn’t gaunt. If you haven’t noticed, she’s careful to be photographed face on, because she never did get that chin implant or nose job that would have made her look immeasurably better.
Taylor Kinney is so not hot and being with her has gotten him down to butt ugly for me. I was not happy to see Mason again on The Vampire Diaries on Thursday!
men fight over her…. really?
she’s gonna regret that tattoo when she is older and gets ‘bingo wing’ arms….
I have the Born This Way album. I can say I love these songs: born this way, you and I, edge of glory, judas, heavy metal lover, and I loooove government hooker. That’s a great song. The rest of the album is ok. But, I’ve seen Gaga live and I would see her again in a heartbeat. She’s very, very talented. I think maybe she shouldn’t have tried to write/record that album on the road. She should have taken some time off to really flesh out the songs.
As much as Luc Carl is scuzzy, I kinda do hope they end up together. I think he’s her kryptonite. She can’t stay away, and I think she really likes that he’s her link to her “before she was megafamous” life.
Yaay! I grovel in thanks, and I will ignore the “cokebloat” comment.
I am with the ladies above-Gaga should have her fun while she can (I wish I had my fun when I was her age),and the dress is gorgeous. According to the NY Times ArtsBeat, the face makeup was “the color of the Indian flag”.
My sorta boyfriend is back in his homeland now, so I will get the skinny upon his return. He’s into pop culture, too, but he is a guy and will miss some of the essentials…sigh…
If Lady G is entering India to “conquer” an audience, I hope her costumes are WAY more conservative. They are so dual personality about sexuality over there. Enough said.
@Danziger The tattoo she got for her “little monsters” is on her arm next to the poem that she got before she dubbed her fans “monsters” It’s perpendicular to the poem and says little monsters in a larger script. The poem itself has been there a long time.
Ah, the confessions of a histrionic narcissist.
Yeah, she doesn’t want to be tied down, blah blah blah, but there’s a difference between not wanting to be tied down and obviously doing it for validation, and only for childish drama queens would pitting men against each other to feel better about yourself not get old. I’m sure that those praising her for doing so would be the first ones calling a male a dog for doing the same thing. Post-feminism is founded by double standards like those. Hilarious. I personally don’t discriminate. I’m feminist to an extent, but I’m also an egalitarian. I judge women just as harshly as I do men.
Also, what happened to going celibate? Fail. Once again, Lady Gaga contradicts earlier statements with stories that don’t quite match up.
As for the lettuce dress? Spare me. Anyone with a sense of culture OR education about other cultures knows cows are sacred in India, but as long as she gets press, it doesn’t matter who she offends. Also, the meat dress again? That publicity stunt is sooo 2010. Everyone’s moved on now, Princess.
Either Gaga is really not half as bright as she and her fans want everyone to believe she is and her savant complex is also a facade, or she’s just being willfully ignorant. In case of the former, I think I learned that by the time I was in sixth grade that cows are sacred in India. Someone obviously should have come to class more instead of snorting rails off of daddy’s dime. Or, she’s just not that intelligent.
In case of the latter, she has a lot of nerve to go out of her way to offend large groups of people and peddle her sob story to MTV or anyone else dumb enough to allow her to squelch through her veneers that people are just oh so mean to her.
