Lady GaGa Now Not Shopping For Pants At Sex Shops

ladygagaLady GaGa prefaced a show in Malta yesterday with a press conference in which she wore a mask, one that looked to have been designed in order to protect her from harsh sunlight and swine flu at the same time. During the course of the press conference, she mentioned that her favorite book of the moment was Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letters To A Young Poet and that her favorite designers were whoever designed the clothing sold at sex shops. Popjustice noted that watching her speak gives one the feeling that GaGa is really trying to Madonna’s career on fast-forward, and she’s already hit the part where she’s just about to announce her own version of Sex. (Good thing she skipped the whole “getting into movies” idea, though.) The footage after the jump.

If the Madonna claims hold up, by this time tomorrow she should be frolicking with a dubious hip-hop star of Caucasian descent. Watch out, Asher Roth!

    @How do I say this...Throwdini!?!: You can still make fun of the way they look.

    @k-rex: I have no idea what Miley Cyrus sounds like. Or the Jonas Brothers. Which is part of the reason I don’t talk trash about them.

    Crap! Does this mean I can't make Tokio Hotel jokes anymore?

    @Marth: i get what you're saying, dude.

    I have no idea what Miley Cyrus sounds like. Or the Jonas Brothers. Which is part of the reason I don't talk trash about them.
  • @Marth: I was just pointing out that your premise was flawed in the claim that people don't currently listen to and enjoy her music, because they clearly do.
  • By the way, I'm not trying to start some big to-do here. I was just leaving a snarky comment to express my honest-to-god befuddledness (is that a word?) of this whole Lady Gaga thing. I just listened to some clips from her album, by the way, as to not be entirely in the dark. And I am left no less confused.
  • @brasstax: It's not that I'm claiming she's a flop. It's just that, despite seeing her on magazine covers, paparazzi photos, and stories on websites sites about her crazy clothes and sunglasses and general "wildness", I have yet to hear even a single note of her music. And if I have (unknowingly), damned if it was memorable enough for me to care whether or not it was the blonde with the sparkly jumpsuits.

    Take Katy Perry. She's completely ubiquitous in the media, just like GaGa. And yet I'm fully aware of her music. Same goes for Amy Winehouse. Miley Cyrus, even (and Lily Allen and Britney and Christina et cetera et cetera). Because for as much media attention that those people get for everything else they do, a percentage actually involves their body of work. Yet it seems to me, ignorant though I may be on the subject, that Lady Gaga exists solely to be fodder for bloggers and gossip magazines. And they eat it up.
  • I'm bummed that we wont get to see her pour hot wax on Willem Dafoe's chest.

    @Marth: And what about that part of her career where people complain that she uses sex, controversy and media saturation to hide her complete lack of talent? And then that part where they calm down a bit and actually listen to what she's done? When does that part start?
  • @Marth: afaik, her album has sold really well in many parts of the world. Because you don't like it means she's a flop?
  • GaGa is really trying to Madonna’s career on fast-forward

    What about the part where she actually records music that people listen to and enjoy?
