EXCLUSIVE: LADY GAGA 'COULD BE' MARRIED WITH BABIES IN 5 YEARS

'In 5 years I could be. Who's to say, really?' Gaga told Extra.

The “Applause” singer sat down with Extra on Monday, and revealed that when she’s not traveling the world, she’s just a normal girl from New York. “I do all sorts of normal things, probably the same as everyone,” Gaga said. “I go see my family. I go to my dad’s restaurant in New York. I have a new puppy. I play with her".

 

Gaga’s new French bulldog, Asia, a.k.a. BATPIG, has taken over Gaga’s Instagram account (we are not complaining), with photos of her sleeping with her mom, taking pics with celebs and being all sorts of adorable. “I always feed her. I sleep with her every night. I take her out to go to the potty,” Gaga said of her pup. “It’s really sweet because she’s like my little friend.”
But will puppies be the only thing on Gaga’s brain? When asked if she could see herself married and with babies in the next five years, Gaga didn’t rule it out, but isn’t making any immediate plans. “In 5 years I could be. Who’s to say, really?” she said. “I don’t have my life planned out in that way.
I’m actually more than ever to really truly live in the moment and just enjoy this time right now.” And right now that includes her ArtRave: The Artpop Ball, which is her first tour since cancelling her Born This Way trek last year due to a severe hip injury. “It did take a long time. It took longer than I had anticipated,” Gaga said of the recovery process.
“And yet I was able to get through some things pretty soon after. I would say six months after the surgery I was able to dance, but it’s everyday I have to do a totally different thing with my body then I used to to keep it really healthy, but it feels really good.”

VIVA LA GAGA: IN DEFENSE OF THE ARTPOP BALL AND LADY GAGA'S POP REIGN

"Good Gaga" doesn't necessarily mean "Old Gaga," and The ARTPOP Ball proves it—even if it's a tricky fact to face

When Lady Gaga dove headfirst into the neon-smeared, glitter-spewing spectacle of her ARTPOP Ball at Madison Square Garden last night, it was, on the surface, a typical Gaga affair. She rocked a keytar at one point. She took to the piano for a solo or two. She cooed at her Little Monsters and invited a few rocking "Applause"-inspired face paint backstage.
Her voice was flawless—a trained, broad belt that demonstrated she'd never need to lip sync. And she danced. She went through a handful of costume changes that involved latex suits and multiple wigs. And at the end of every song, she panted a tired, rhythmic gasp for air to let us know that she was, in fact, the real deal. That pant wasn't subtle in the least. Her mic was left on because, despite ARTPOP's poor reception, her puke-soaked SXSW set and an avalanche of negative press recalling her former glory, Gaga is still on top of her game.
And Gaga's game tops her peers on the pop charts based on sheer talent alone, no matter how many stunts and off-the-mark albums she builds up and stumbles upon in her own path.

Gaga's become a victim of standards as opposed to a victor, and unfortunately, her songwriting chops, stamina and perpetual penchant for reinvention are all cast aside when the conversation about "good Gaga" vs. "bad Gaga" comes about.
Good Gaga? Old Gaga. Bad Gaga? Now Gaga.
At least that's what the critics will have you believe. Even when Lady Gaga's delivering a perfectly respectable (if not totally killer) performance, she's still "Bad Gaga" based on the fact that the new songs don't live up to the hype of the old ones. She's not permitted an off day, an experiment gone wrong, nor a wayward instinct. But Gaga has never been the kind of pop star who fakes it to make it, and when she's not exceptional—and a singing, dancing pop star can't be perfect every minute of a two-hour set—the verdict is deadlier then "lame."
Bad Gaga isn't bad because the music is bad. Bad Gaga is bad because it's boring, and that's a unique—and unfair— problem that's now shackled to ARTPOP until she can pick herself up by the galactic leotard and upstage herself once again.
Everyone's got the song that converted them into a Lady Gaga fan. The mid-aughts dance floor glory of "Just Dance" was a bit too sugary for some, but the cinematic epic that was 2009's VMA performance of "Paparazzi" shocked and seduced plenty.
The gnarled claws of "Bad Romance" continue to creep their way into party soundtrack rotation, and the products of Gaga's alien phase throughout "Born This Way" are copped as feel-good anthems by her adoring fans to date. Not a single track from ARTPOP, even the hyper-meta "Applause," has reached the fever pitch of her greatest hits, and maybe this is why the ARTPOP Ball is disappointing to numerous reviewers.
The fact that a handful of these tried-and-true favorites—including Beyoncé duet "Telephone"—were smushed together into a single medley while "Venus" and "G.U.Y." got her full-on attention is hardly surprising.
She's in the midst of a reputation rescue mission, and even "Yoü and I" doesn't need a life-jacket when she's pushing her lung capacity to give the trickier parts of "Applause" the equivalent of performance CPR. It's easy to write off a Lady Gaga defense as making excuses for a great musician whose recent work doesn't live up to their own expectations. It's easier to accept ARTPOP as a final flub instead of Gaga's current incarnation.
Despite the changing wardrobes, the stylistic detours and collaborations, Lady Gaga's songwriting, vocal chops and voice are still there. Like the phoenix in the "G.U.Y." video, she's set to rise again—even if the ashes she's crawling out of came from a match she lit herself in the name of ARTPOP.

LADY GAGA BRINGS HITS, INSPIRATION FOR LONG-WAITING DETROID FANS

It had been nearly four years since we’d seen Lady Gaga on a metro Detroit stage. Stepping into Joe Louis Arena on Saturday night with a new repertoire and a reliable assortment of surreal costumes and wigs, the pop star finally soothed appetites for a vividly attired crowd of about 13,000.
The Joe was an early stop on her Artrave: The Artpop Ball tour, and brought us a Lady Gaga who has become known as much for preaching acceptance and self-love as for the glistening pop songs and wacky outfits that earned her a name.
On a set that often resembled some kind of space-age, psychedelic fashion runway, the visual vibe was both icy and bright, punctuated by frequent bursts of confetti over the fans packed around the stage catwalks. “Artpop” kicked things off as Gaga emerged in a winged gold leotard, making her way down a ramp and eventually to a keyboard nestled into a little crystal mountain.

She’d last played this venue in January 2010 — one of the earliest arena headlining gigs of her career — just as her pop stock was soaring to the next level. The Gaga who played the Joe that week arrived fixated on themes of fame, exploring the relationship between celebrity and fan while nurturing the fledgling bond with her own Little Monsters.
She arrived back at the arena Saturday night in a different sort of career spot. Amid the relatively disappointing showing for “Artpop,” released in the fall, Gaga’s own superstardom has dimmed somewhat, and the smattering of empty seats around the Joe attested to it. But the connection with the fans onboard now burns deep and intense. Gaga paused frequently between songs to butter them up, plying them with messages of self-empowerment, remarking on their beauty, and fiddling with the stuffed animals and apparel they rained onto the stage.
The drumbeat of affection, delivered in a singsong voice bordering on squeaky, got cloying fast. But there were moments of genuine emotion too — as when Gaga read note tossed onstage by a young man, Alex, describing his coming-out to his family and applauding the star as a role model. She found him down front and invited him backstage after the show, as cameras caught him deeply moved by the gesture.

Music from the new album dominated the set early on, providing the throbbing buzz of songs like “G.U.Y.” and “Donatella” and the cabaret disco of “Fashion!” Giant freaky mushrooms emerged from the floor for the cartoony sci-fi ambience of “Venus,” as Gaga’s apparently tireless dancers hit the catwalks in colorful alien garb. From there she dipped into the old stuff, rolling through “Just Dance” (keytar in hand), “Poker Face” and “Paparazzi,” which found her onstage dressed as a blue and white-speckled cephalopod of some sort, plastic tentacles dragging behind her. The show’s early stretch had limited Gaga’s vocals, which took a backseat to the precisely arranged choreography and booming dance beats. “Do What U Want” at last gave her voice a chance to fly, and the potency of her R&B-tinged delivery promptly sizzled. She relayed a recent remark she’d gotten from an interviewer about the fact that Gaga sings live at her shows (which she certainly appeared to do all Saturday night, albeit frequently atop a taped harmony stack). It was a chance for Gaga to knock the rampant lip-syncing in today’s pop business. “It’s so weird — why it is so normal for singers not to sing live?” she said to a roar. “It’s not normal. It’s a crime!” While the “Artpop” material often became a generic dance-pop blur (the rock grind of “Mary Jane Holland” and “Swine” notwithstanding), there were musical high points, including her solo piano performance of “Born This Way,” transformed into a simmering ballad.

LADY GAGA LOOKS LIKE SHE'S RAIDED HER BOYFRIED'S CLOSET AS SHE STEPS OUT IN BAGGY MEN'S SHIRT WITH TAYLOR KINNEY IN TOW

Perhaps Lady Gaga didn't have a wild and whacky creation at the ready today. By her standards, Thursday's outfit was positively sober - an oversized shirt which looked like it had been raided from her boyfriend's closet. The 28-year-old singer drowned her figure in the shirt, which she teamed with fishnet stockings and a pair of black combat boots as she left her New York City apartment with her actor beau Taylor Kinney.

She wore the same blonde wig with blunt bangs and round tinted eyeglasses she was seen in the day before. Gaga flashed the crowds a peace sign, simultaneously revealing the peace sign tattoo on her left wrist. Taylor, meanwhile, kept it casual in a dark blue T-shirt teamed with the same colour trousers.
The 32-year-old Chicago Fire star strode along in large grey sneakers while shielding his face with a red baseball cap and dark shades.

The Just Dance Hitmaker posed with fans for selfies before climbing into the passenger seat of a vehicle and heading on her way. In March, Gaga admitted she is the submissive one in her relationship with Taylor. 'He is totally in charge. I mean when I am home I am like, shoes are off, I'm making him dinner,' she told Sirius XM's Morning Mash-Up. 'He has a job too and he is really busy!'

Gaga continued: 'I'm in charge all day long. The last thing I wanna do is tell him what to do. 'We're just really good friends. It's not good for relationships to tell men what to do, female listeners who are out there.' Thursday night, Gaga is performing at the Walls Fargo Center in Philadelphia as a part of her artRave: The ARTPOP Ball world tour. She will then travel to Detroit, Cleveland, and Saint Paul before making her way to Canada.

LADY GAGA AT VERIZON CENTER: A FEEL-GOOD SPECTABLE OF EAR CANDY AND EYE CANDY

Not long ago, if your esteem needed boosting, Lady Gaga was your go-to pop star. Her best songs were danceable affirmations designed to remind us that we’re all weirdo snowflakes — and that perhaps we should try harder to dress the part. But when her third album, “Artpop,” thudded last fall, it was suddenly evident that this was a two-way street.

“Love me, love me, please retweet,” she sang at a low point, sounding drained of ideas and in need of a hug. So on Monday night, Gaga’s loyal flock assembled at Verizon Center to show the 28-year-old some love. They wore striped Speedos, and splotched body paint, and sequined carnival masks, and homemade wigs, and metallic hot pants, and clam-shell bikini tops rigged with flashing lights. (There were plenty of polos and sundresses, too — this is Washington, after all.) “But are you feeling fine on the inside?” Gaga asked her costumed admirers early in the night.
“That’s what’s most important . . . The real fashion is on the inside.” She was walking up to “Fashion!” — a song that embodies all the failures of “Artpop,” an album that promised to storm the castles of high art and luxury fashion but settled for giving vague reports from those exclusive cultural corridors.
“My art-pop could mean anything,” she sang while prancing through the album’s title track, which only made her art-pop feel like it might not mean anything at all. But that didn’t mean it wasn’t really fun. In three dimensions, even the flimsiest Lady Gaga songs benefit exponentially from the fact that the woman is sweating it out in a series of Halloween costumes from the future.
She embellished her sweetest ear candy with the most far-out eye candy, tapping out a portion of her evergreen breakout hit “Just Dance” on a keytar shaped like a sea horse.
She wagged a cartoonish tail of latex tentacles during the blissy refrain of “Paparazzi” and roared “Bad Romance” while dressed like an anime rave Muppet. And she managed to change outfits — and heap gobs of praise on her audience — without losing much musical momentum. And while Monday night’s engagement was originally scheduled for Thursday until a potential Washington Wizards playoff game jumbled the calendar, Gaga didn’t mention it. Chances are, she loves Wizards fans, too.
“You have to believe in yourself from the inside,” she said during “Born This Way,” transforming her signature equality anthem into an affectionate piano ballad. “Every day I get on this stage, you do that for me.” For a pop concert in an arena, it felt good. As a public exercise in reciprocal, unconditional love, it felt unique.

DO YOU REMEMBER 'BORN THIS WAY BALL'? WATCH HERE!

THAT'LL DRIVE FANS WILD! LADY GAGA AUCTIONS CLASSIC CONVERTIBLE ROLLS ROYCE FOR BARGAIN STARTING BID OF £30,000

She has die-hard fans all over the world who want a piece of her. Now, Lady Gaga acolytes ca do exactly that with news that the chart-topping singer will auction her beloved classic car off to the highest bidder, this month.
The bright-red Rolls Royce has emerged for a starting price of £30,000 and will go under the hammer on 17 May.

The vehicle, which was made in 1990, was purchased by the Bad Romance singer five years ago. She famously used it to travel to the Guggenheim museum in Manhattan, New York, for the launch of her perfume in September 2012 - flanked by her entourage.
The Rolls Royce Corniche III features a 6.6 litre engine and a leather and walnut interior and is in perfect condition. It is believed to be the only car owned by the 28-year-old pop star owns and is thought to have been for personal use - although it is unclear if she drove it herself or not.

The title certificate for the motor is registered to her full name - Stefani Germanotta - and father, Joseph.The car is estimated to fetch around 30,000 pounds when it goes up for auction but experts believe it could sell for more than 53,000. The auction is being held at Julien's Auctions in California.

Darren Julien, of Julien's auction house, said: 'Lady Gaga bought the car because she liked it and has owned it for quite some time, I believe around five years. 'It was her personal car but I don't know if she drove it or not, although people living in New York don't really drive anywhere. 'She doesn't collect cars so this may well be the only car she has, so it is a pretty rare item.
The title is in her real name, Stefani Germanotta, and it's the first time a car belonging to her is going up for sale.

'If a random person was to own this car it would be worth around 50,000 dollars but as I think it could sell for up to 40,000 dollars more than that. 'I think it will bring in interest from Lady Gaga fans and Rolls Royce fans, but it might be something a car museum would want to display. 'Its in excellent condition and she's taken good care of it. The money from the sale of the car will be givento Musicares, a charity for struggling artists.'

LADY GAGA'S DUBAI CONCERT WILL BE CENSORED

Organisers say pop star’s UAE debut will be edited with respect to the local law and culture.

Lady Gaga’s artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball is coming to Dubai — but it will be censored. The contentious pop star is known for her oft-outrageous stage antics, but organisers confirmed to tabloid! that her UAE show on September 10 at the Meydan Racecourse will be edited down for cultural reasons.
“There will be some edits for Dubai,” said Marco Rios, the chairman and CEO of AMI Live, one of three companies involved with bringing Gaga to the UAE. “It cannot be the full show, because it wouldn’t be allowed. So it’s a special show for Dubai and for the culture.”
The Dubai date, which will “respect the local law”, was officially announced at a Monday morning press conference at the RIRA Gallery in DIFC. Becky Artmonsky, CEO of ATW Live — the executive producers and promoters partially responsible for Jennifer Lopez at the Dubai World Cup — said that Gaga is willing to play nice to avoid cancellations. She doesn’t want a repeat of the ban that has been imposed on her live shows in Indonesia.

“She’s a wonderful, ground-breaking artist and that’s why we all love her. She’s very, very excited to be playing for her fans for the first time in the Middle East, and that’s really, always for her, the absolute most important thing,” said Artmonksy.
“We’re working very closely with her and her team to ensure all cultural sensitivities are managed very well. It’s her first time here, and she knows she has a lot of Little Monsters here — and some Big Monsters, as well, actually — so that’s the focus for her.” Despite a censored version of Gaga’s show, her UAE fans may be able to meet their idol in the flesh.
“There’s a few meet-and-greets — there will be a very nice meet-and-greet,” said Rios. “Gaga is not an artist who likes to meet-and-greet, but I think so, we might [have one].” “It all depends on the artist,” added Vincent Guo, COO of AMI Live. “As promoters, we love to have meet-and-greets — it’s whether the artist wants to do that. Some love it, some don’t.” China welcomes Gaga? Alongside the announcement, the press conference served as an introduction to Guo and Rios’ Latin American company, AMI Live. Gaga’s concert is their first effort in the UAE. They plan to produce more live shows (they told us they have five big names already planned), sports programming and children’s programming.
They have been the dominant Latin American events organiser for over 10 years, with more than 4,000 shows held and millions of tickets sold.
The conference also marked a strategic merger between AMI Live and Long Legacy Cultural Group, a Chinese organisation with experience in commercial stage performances. By joining forces, and through a somewhat ideal geographical proximity, they hope to bring more artists to Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball is Gaga’s fourth concert tour, and features, like many of her concerts, crazy costumes and elaborate productions.
The tour so far has received positive reviews, with many praising the singer’s energy and enthusiasm. Gaga’s last tour, the Born This Way Ball, had to be abruptly cut short in 2013 following a hip injury the singer sustained while performing. She later underwent surgery.
Trade publication Pollstar named it the fifth highest grossing tour in 2012 behind Madonna, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Roger Waters and Coldplay. Tickets for the Dubai show are priced at Dh495 (General Admission), Dh750 (Grandstand Seating) and Dh1,295 (Golden Circle). VIP tables and air-conditioned suites will also be available, starting at Dh2,000.
Tickets can be bought from noon on May 15 on ticketmaster.ae. Gaga’s fan club members will have access to a presale on May 13-14, with a promoter presale occurring on May 13.

LADY GAGA DISSES KATY PERRY'S PRISMATIC TOUR ON TWITTER?

Gaga calls out Perry for riding a mechanical horse and dying her hair green 

Lady Gaga may have thrown some serious shade at Katy Perry's new Prismatic Tour on Twitter.


"It looks like green hair and mechanical horses are the thing now" 


The tweet came yesterday -- one day after Katy Perry kicked off her tour in Belfast, Ireland, at one point riding an Egyptian-styled mechanical horse. Like Gaga, Perry has dyed her hair all sorts of colors, including green recently.

As USA Today points out, Gaga previously used the mechanical horse routine -- she saddled up on the red carpet of last year's American Music Awards on a mechanical white stallion. Unless Gaga has a very short memory, there's a good chance this is a dig at Perry for copping her style.
Still, Gaga has recently pledged to play nice on the Internet, so there's always the chance this is just a little joshing between the two. Katy Perry has yet to respond on Twitter. As far as we know, Perry at least beat Gaga to Lisa Frank chic.
