Lady Gaga sparked up a spliff and smoked pot on stage in Amsterdam earlier this week. In addition to intense media coverage that followed her actions, she has been criticized for what's perceived as glamorizing drug use. Officials at Blenheim CDP, a London-based substance abuse charity, invited her to visit a drug treatment center to witness the horrors of drug use firsthand.
One outfit. One pop star. Two very angry groups of people.
When in Amsterdam, do as the Dutch!
Lady Gaga performed in Amsterdam on Monday (Sept. 17) and she was happy to partake in a little pot smoking action, since the area is the cannabis capital of the world and is perhaps best known for its legal policy on marijuana. So naturally, Gaga smoked a big ol' spliff while onstage.
Lady Gaga is keeping the avant garde motif going in the wake of her Fame fragrance launch in New York City, where she slept in a life-sized perfume bottle, let people touch her hand and had the back of her head tattooed. Gaga hit up hatmaker Philip Treacy's show in London on Sunday (Sept. 16) and she did so in out-there style: With a crown of flowers on her head and framing her face. It looked like a floral beard.
Madonna really likes to beat a dead horse, doesn't she? The singer dissed her (much younger) rival Lady Gaga onstage again, this time in Atlantic City. Madge dedicated her performance of her Golden Globe-winning song 'Masterpiece' to Gaga, and she added a nasty insult to the "dedication." Doesn't she have anything better to do than take cheap pot shots at Gaga? This rivalry is so January 2012, isn't it?
Fresh off a brand new tattoo which may make reference to her relationship with actor and ‘You & I’ video co-star Taylor Kinney, Lady Gaga took some time out of her Born This Way Ball tour to sightsee in Amsterdam, with Kinney on her arm and clasping her hand.
Lady Gaga and Lindsay Lohan forged a friendship earlier this summer at the Chateau Marmont. They had a sleepover, exchanged tweets and Gaga even asked little monsters to be kind to her new pal on her personal social networking site. There were rumors of a LiLo cameo in a Gaga video.
Lady Gaga is the unquestionable queen of Twitter, with a whopping 29 million followers, which is more than anyone else who uses the social media messaging service. Perhaps she was wise to start her LittleMonsters.com site and foster an intimate and authentic community, since new reports have emerged, indicating that 71 percent of those 29 million Twitter followers are fake!
Lady Gaga‘s bodyguards mean bidness! One of her hulking protectors took out a Romanian fan seeking an autograph as the Mother Monster was walking through her hotel lobby in hat, heels and a ladylike, black skirtsuit, complete with white detailing and white gloves. She looked prim and proper while her bodyguards wrestled the male fan to the ground.
