Lady Gaga is known for her crazy outfits (I can count on one hand how many times I have seen a picture of her in anything other than her underwear) and her accessories. She is on her “Fame” tour in the UK, and her latest look includes round Elton John-like round spectacles, geisha lips, derby hats, and umbrellas. She has also been spotted carrying around a particular china teacup everywhere she goes. Well, The Sun‘s Gordon Smart wrote in his “Bizzare” column that Lady Gaga thinks her teacup is a girl and it has become “famous.”
She wanted to set the record straight about her cherished floral china and say ta-ta before heading off to Amsterdam on her Fame tour.
The Poker Face star told me: “She hasn’t got a name but she’s quite famous now, so I made her stay in today. I take her everywhere because she makes me feel at home. I used to have tea at home with my mother every day, you see.”
Er, no, not really.
I think GaGa’s blistering work schedule may be getting to her.
The chart-topper — snapped in a pirate-style hat at London’s Capital Radio — continued: “I’ve made a habit of drinking out of china because it makes me feel grounded.
“I don’t think it’s a good lifestyle to always be eating and drinking out of paper. It’s very wasteful.”
[From The Sun]
You know what’s wasteful? Changing your look every five minutes. What happens to all those old clothes? What will happen to that underwear when she finally decides to wear pants?
Also – how does carrying around a china cup make her feel grounded? She hasn’t been seen carrying this teacup until a week or so ago, so it’s clearly a prop for attention. Part of Lady Gaga’s charm is also part of what is irritating about her. She almost tries too hard to be unusual. Like the quote about her teacup. You know that she thought, “I’ll get press if I imply that my teacup has feelings.”
Here’s Lady Gaga in London on Monday (with teacup) and in Paris yesterday (sans teacup). Images thanks to Fame Pictures .
LOL! i saw her in one interview, and never watching one of her again. Her personality just really erked me. and while the interviewer tried to talk to her, she was so distracted continually sipping from the damn tea cup!
Ok–someone fill me in on this creature; what IS a Lady GaGa? What does it do besides prance around in ridiculous outfits/makeup?
And WHY am I suddenly seeing so much of this person everywhere?
P.S: Yuck.
I don’t know anything about her, nor have I heard her music…but her lipstick always becomes a focal point for me when I look at her. It just looks…silly.
Sorry I have to disagree I just love how weird and naughty she is
I applaud her originality…that said, I have no use for her.
I love her cd, can’t stop listening to it. I don’t really know much about her except apparently she’s a weirdo!!!!!!!
Never (EVER) under-estimate the tastiness of a cuppa served in your own special mug/cup. 😯
…Can’t wait until Lady Gaga is Lady Gone Gone!
She kind of reminds me of a drag queen with all the foo foo clothing and the ugly looking make up.
definately trying TOO hard to be eccentric and unique. Not very original to try to be something your not.
You mean Lady Bye-Bye.
She may be crazy, but she’s right about disposable drinkware.
there was a point when I though Lady GaGa was a girl, but now I realize that she’s an ugly, no-talent fame-whore looking for publicity by being “eccentric”.
She’s trying waaaay too hard to market herself as “different”, which is amusing because normally artists try to differentiate themselves through their music!
She’s still finding herself and what’s right for the persona she’s creating. It’s performance art and I say, go for it. Haven’t heard her music, but what she’s doing is harmless in itself. Don’t understand the negativity toward her. Didn’t Bowie create Ziggy Stardust and many other characters? Let her experiment. That’s the way any artist grows.
I have to agree with Wonder Woman… I think she’s interesting! Her music is silly fun and yes, she won’t win any awards for it, but it’s catchy and she doesn’t look like some teenybopper…
She actually reminds me quite a lot of Madonna in her early years in the art scene in New York. Only with, ya know, a decent voice.
Don’t hate–she’s awesome! She’s so creative–she doesn’t conform!
how nuts is she?
is it a girl or a boy? not being mean – i really don’t have a clue.
Hi. I am not here to comment on the post, just the headline. I think the headline is enough, so I am not going to read the post. It could only be a disappointment.
I think its a She and her music is fun sortve retro disco I do see a similary with Madonna when she was starting out and in the wearing no pants thing But on Lady Gaga not wearing pants is nt as gross as when Madonna goes around wearing no pants and squating
Maybe she’s really going crazy. Then we can send in the men in white coats and never have to see this celebtard again.
Everytime I see this no talent hack my blood pressure goes up, I swear.
And her lipstick reminds me of a rat…I can’t explain why..it just shapes her mouth the way a rodent’s mouth is.
That’s a man baby!
If (s)he loves the teacup so much why is it a different one in every photo eh? Answer me that!
It’s a try hard and hopefully this fad will be over soon. I’ve said it before but it’s just a very clever Emporer’s New Clothes trick.
She wishes she could be Katie Jane Garside, who already did crazy tea party years ago to much better affect. Oh, and I totally agree w/ Jaundice.
Lady GONE gaga
haha.
Trillion, was Katie Jane Garside the one that was in Daisy Chainsaw? I saw them live once – she did all kinds of things with teapots and cups – mad as a box of frogs! A very bizarre experience.
My personal view of ‘Lady Ga-Ga’ is that she has been very carefully packaged to look like a record company’s idea of eccentric and original. And her music is ordinary in the extreme. A triumph of style over substance.
Julia: yes and yes to your question and your observation! So you know first hand that Katie Jane is the REAL DEAL, a truly talented and eccentric artist who couldn’t give a f***k what some suit in a high-rise thinks of her songs. She still records and tours, by the way, but not w/ Daisy Chainsaw.
I guess that’s what irks me so much – her “eccentricity” is clearly manufactured to draw comparisons to the likes of David Bowie, without any sort of musical substance to credit her character.
I mean Ziggy Stardust was original (well, over-looking the fact that it was modeled after my love Iggy Pop) and his music around that era was revolutionary – unlike anything anyone had ever heard before. He helped to define rock ‘n’ roll, as well as pop music.
Lady GaGa doesn’t offer anything new or special – anyone with an afternoon to kill and 50 bucks can queef that stank into a mircophone and call it music. F*ck, if I wear a *crazy* hat and walk around in my skippies, I can be a major recording artist too!
It’s the same argument over and over again. Style vs. Substance. Yeah, she looks interesting. Yeah, she can probably match Ziggy-era Bowie line for line in Columbian blow. But that’s where the comparisons end.
Wow, another attention sucker getting by on her atrocious fashion sense and what’s stuffed in her bra. Yawn…
(unrelated) Jaundice: Have you ever seen that video Peaches did with Iggy about 4 or 5 years ago? He’s still got it. (And so does she)
Honestly I think that’s the whole point of her ever changing crazy fashion looks. If you have bothered to listen to her songs (her album IS called The Fame after all), they’re all about what fame is in this world. I think she knows what she is doing and look, you’re all talking about her and wondering what the heck she is up to so it’s working!
She is really talented–if you go on youtube, you will find her playing the piano and completely reworking some of her songs just playing the piano. Madonna, on the other hand, can’t sing and we all know that. She also wasn’t always blonde like this–I’ve seen pictures of her without all that crazy make up and her natural dark hair, she was really pretty.
Emily, I agree with you that she’s more talented than other pop starlets. I appreciate that she plays piano and writes. But I do find her music pedestrian -very bland and safe. So her calculated “Me, over here! I’m so weird!” look feels awkward, forced and inauthentic. I’m all for it when Bjork does it, swan dress and all. But with Lady Ga Ga, she doesn’t pull off the whole package, IMO.
Lady Gaga is my guilty pleasure at the moment- I normally can’t stand contrived pop music, let alone the hacks who make the stuff, but her songs are pretty catchy, and unlike others she actually has a hand in writing and creating her songs (I’m looking at you, Britney.)
I can’t stand her character (like many others said, it’s a convoluted, watered-down version Ziggy Stardust) but she’s altogether pretty harmless and seems like a creative, fun person. Let Gaga do her thing- there are worse things out there- like Heidi Montag. Her music, much like her persona, makes my ears bleed.
Have to agree with her on the china vs. paper thing as well- Did you know that half a million pounds of paper cups are used worldwide at Starbucks each week? That’s a lot of trees, and only accounting for one chain. Think of all the other places out there who utilize disposable paper products… it’s pretty damn wasteful and shameful. She’s got an excellent point.
Someone stated that they admired her originality. I have to wonder…what is original about her? Not much that I can see.
Hollywood wannabees that usually have no discernable talent have made an industry out of trying to look/act/be outrageous, as if that is a substitute for actually being able to DO something. She is far from original, and is just on of many, many who have come before her and faded away, just as she will.
I saw her perform on American Idol a few weeks ago. I usually fast forward through the “entertainment” they offer, but I wondered if she were a gem in the rough, so I watched her entire performance. Quite frankly, it only served to reinforce what I already knew to be true. She has no talent. She cannot sing. If you took away all of the crazy costumes and elaborate staging and just gave her a stage and a microphone, you would realize is completely talentless.
I actually said “WTF is that” out loud when i saw the picture. Then I realised they were her lips…OUCH.
No olipa kivaa juttua. Mitä ihmeellistä tässä nyt on- Lady Gaga on just suuremmoinen ihminen, jolla on mahtavasti mielikuvitusta ja jäänkin odottamaan sitä, milloin ensimmäinen lastenkirja tulee vaikka elävistä teekupeista, joilla on nimet ja oikea elämä 🙂
Mistä tuollaisen teekupin voisi ostaa?
I have to agree with what a lot of people are saying on here about LG being a carefully manufactured creation of the record company. The more I watch this chick and see her in interviews and look at old pictures of her, I say to myself, there is NO WAY that this chick from Yonkers came up with all this crap her self.
She probably has some older woman, or a few, around her who had been around in the scene back in the day, and they are probably advising her at EVERY move.
Telling her how to dress, how to act, and even how to perform. And I bet they contrived this whole Haus of GaGa thing so it makes it look to the public that SHE is in complete control and sooooo creative like Andy Warhol. Well Andy Warhol was like 42 when he became in control, and he knocked around for quite a bit.
So you’re telling me that some 22 year old girl came along, who used to look like a stripper incidentally (look it up) and all of the sudden she became all artsy and edgy and started telling people in the industry who are older how to do their jobs? Puhhhhhhhleeeeeezzzzeeee!!! I am not buying this shite for one second.
She is nothing more than a Britney Spears wannabe for the artsy fartsy Emo set.
Straight up!
She does play piano well, however. If she truly says she’s an artist, hopefully with her musical skills she’ll connect with this in the future.
I am SO SURE of what I’m saying here I would bet ANYONE a million dollars. If this girl is still around in 10 years after her stints with drugs, alcohol, abusive relationships…it will all come out in interviews.
I was like a little girl playing dress up…I didn’t have clue what I was doing. They were like, here GaGa, wear this…he he he, giggle giggle.
Mark my words!
