Lady Gaga wears diamond-encrusted lobster headpiece

38107PCN_LadyG

I’m a little disappointed in Lady Gaga, for two reasons. First, this is, by all reports, a diamond-encrusted lobster on her head. Not crystals, not diamante, actual diamonds. Beyond the literal lobster on her head, though, I’ve seen the outfit before. I remember it because the “dress” is the same material that vets used when they gave my dog an Elizabethan collar to wear to get him to stop biting himself neurotically. Gaga rarely repeats outfits, so the fact that this dress is getting repeated – well, I’m just disappointed.

Secondly, I’m disappointed that Gaga doesn’t have some kind of money man or business manager who is capable of telling her “Actually, you don’t need a diamond-encrusted lobster to wear as a hairpiece.” Maybe she’s just renting the lobster? But how could she? Are there jewelry stores that just diamond-encrusted lobsters laying around? Probably not. So this is probably a piece she had made especially for her. And she probably bought it. When she’s broke, she’ll be able to look at her diamond-encrusted lobster and know that for a brief moment, she was rich enough to order that junk.

Oh, but I do enjoy the chicken-leg bracelet. It took me a second to figure it out, but that’s kind of cool. You know why it’s great? Because it’s cheap. Because someone stopped Gaga from getting her chicken-leg bracelet diamond-encrusted.

    I am goo goo for gaga!
    she is VERY entertaining!

  2. Icecat says:

    I am so sick of her. Please go away GAG GAG!!

  3. Mark says:

    Gaga always repeats stuff. Wigs, jackets, shoes. This is 2010 and it’s not a fashion no-no anymore. You’re not paying attention the way you think you are.

  4. ien says:

    agree, the chicken leg bracelet it cool
    and i’m dissapointed that she’s wearing the same dress as well lol

  5. vale says:

    I can totally envision the scene where 40 years from now, broke, alone and old and raggedy in a huge empty mansion, she’ll look at that lobster and think of her glory days. Too funny.

  6. embertine says:

    It would be even more awesome if it was made of an actual petrified lobster.

  7. Tess says:

    The diamonds may be real but the decadence is faux. It lacks the charm of the real thing.

  8. BReed says:

    Hope she doesn’t wear this in stormy weather–would make a bitchin’ lightening rod.

  9. Anna says:

    You’re being a little too mean in my opinion, I think the outfit is fabulous and I love the diamond encrusted lobster. And she does recycle some of her outfits. Why shouldn’t she? If they are still relevant to what she’s trying to express on that day/show, she doesn’t have to get a whole new dress made, she can just tweak an old one with accessories. And come on, that she does well. The only thing on the outfit I really hate is that yellow-tips wig. It doesn’t go with anything and just looks awful. She’s worn that plenty, if anything, that’s the piece she should get rid of.
    And I disagree about her being broke and old some day. Britney? Might happen. Gaga is smarter than that, she’ll endure and she’ll eventually start saving some money (she *has* repeatedly said that all her money goes straight into shows and costumes). And if any artist right now deserves a long career, it’s her. Okay, end of plaidoyer.

  10. vale says:

    Anna- it was a joke. You know, harmless fun.
    (and btw, she WILL get old.)

  11. princess pea says:

    It just seems like she’s trying SO hard all the time. I think what turns me off about Gaga is the air of desperation, to be honest.

  12. the truth says:

    Enough of this rubbish already. how long can she do this for?…..bloody lobster on your head lol

  13. EMV says:

    I’m over her already

  14. ogechi says:

    Yes i love her creativity but i honestly think she has bored me enough.

  15. sarah says:

    Why doesn’t she just wear a giant board that says LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME EVERYONE LOOK AT ME. Wonder what bet those guards lost to get stuck with her. lol

  16. Maritza says:

    Lady Gaga is very different, that’s her gimmick. The fact that she is also talented makes her even more unique. For Lady Gaga, everyday is Halloween.

  17. hmm says:

    When you’re trying sooo hard to be outrageous you’re really not that outrageous. It’s so calculated that it just seems contrived and desperate.

  18. insidescoop says:

    Do you think she ordered lobster at dinner? I hope so!

  19. snapdragon says:

    at least her mouth isn’t hanging open in these photos. it’s a start.

  20. Jenna says:

    I don’t see it as her “trying to hard.” I see it more as she’s super rich, so now she has free reign to do all the crazy stuff she wants. Honestly, if I was hella rich, I’d be doing all kinds of extravagant and crazy stuff too.

  21. LolaBella says:

    Love Lady GaGa!

    Whether you like her or not, she’s a damn good entertainer and talented musician and vocalist.

    What is funny to me is that she and Kaiser are having the last laugh at all of you that ‘hate’ her and scoff at her individuality as you are still clicking on and commenting on her post.

    You MAKE Lady GaGa even more famous, so well done! 🙂

    “SO WHAT!” If the Lady wants a diamond encrusted Lobster.
    No one makes “Any” of your choices on “What to Wear or Buy” unless you live with your Mom…
    —But I’ve seen my share of plenty of woman wearing worse—
    Without any reason or status.
    As far as the “Dress” goes…
    “IF” you watched Lady Gaga on the Today Show- She commented on owning many pieces in this “Fashion” that was designed just for her.
    She likes that the material is comfortable, and has dresses to shorts made out of the same.

    Besides, Lady Gaga “HAS” to wear customs that show off her bod-
    In order to prove she’s a she; not a she with a penis.
    Just another rumor someone started out of jealousy or possibly “wishful thinking”

    Do I think she’s not all there?
    WHO IS? I still haven’t found my lost marbles.

    I think Lady GaGa represents all we secretly ‘wish we could’.
    She’s extremely smart, gorgeous and talented.
    With a “Fresh sense of Fashion”
    I <3 her work! Go Gaga!

  24. Kim says:

    Shes trying WAYYYY to hard. Only untalented “entertainers” pull this stuff. I hope she doesnt go the route of Flash versus talent because she does have talent but her wanting to be cool via being diff with her wanna be outfits is taking away from it. I know she says she always dressed like this – no she didnt. Look at old club pics of her and she wasnt trying this hard at all. Its to contrived and that makes her seem like she has no real talent.

  25. juiceinla says:

    Wendy O. Williams did plastic dresses and electrical tape to the nips way better.

  26. lululei says:

    She’s doing something right!
    LOBSTER or NOT-that’s her choice…. not yours! (TG!)

    Everything Lady Gaga does turns to Gold-
    Everything about her is NEW, FRESH & as OUTRAGEOUS as I wish I could be!

    She’s gone from Rags to Riches in a year.
    It takes brains to do that!

    I LOVE HER!

  27. tamera says:

    While you ladies take the time to put Lady Gaga down;

    She just keeps getting Richer & Richer!

    I LOVE the fact that she ‘gives’ so much $ to (listen up!) ‘Women’ by funding the less fortunate, the AIDS foundation, and has started shelters too.

    So What if it takes a funky get-up to get there.
    At least shes making an impact on people’s life; instead of putting “you” down on a blog!

  28. shela says:

    YOU SAID:
    “Wendy O. Williams did plastic dresses and electrical tape to the nips way better.”

    Are You Lost? We aren’t here for Wendy O. Williams.
    Go comment on her blog (lol) if one exist!

    Lady Gaga is IT! I was as close-minded as some here until I learned what Lady Gaga is all about.

    I hope she’s around for a LONG time.
    Another PLUS is how she tells the younger girls in the audience to “Listen & Respect” their parents.

    Not too many Entertainers can do that with or without a diamond encrusted Lobster.

  29. princess pea says:

    Well, tamera, this is a gossip blog. And for all I know, Gaga is among the commenters here slagging on the famous with the rest of us.

    Is being rich a reason to like and respect someone? I guess I should reassess my opinion of Joe Francis, then.

  30. Natalie says:

    Princess Pea, you go on and feel anyway you want about Joe Francis…

    And ‘you’re right’ this is a gossip blog.
    So I don’t care what others say or write here.
    But my opinion isn’t that Tamera respects Lady Gaga for being rich.
    I too Respect Lady Gaga for making a stand.
    She’s been very vocal about teaching younger girls to listen to their parents as well as helping out less fortunate.
    And Lady Gaga doesn’t wear a Diamond Lobster at the soup line.
    But come on, when’s the last time one of us- any of us worked a shelter, while helping young girls….
    And still able to Entertain at the same time.
    I’m almost twice her age and wish I’d made an impact like that years ago.
    I’m not into “all” her songs, but I do think she’s set a good example (in a lot of ways) for children who will follow “The Entertainer’s”

  31. Mikey says:

    NOW THERE IS SOMETHING UGLIER THAN HER!

  32. Beck says:

    Another Marilyn Manson. She is talented but she didn’t get any attention until she started dressing in these outrageous costumes. (BTW, I don’t think Marilyn Manson is talented. I have never liked him.) In my opinion, she probably took lessons/notes from Madonna and Manson and developed her own brand. The more outrageous, the more people pay attention.

    If you have seen her in the old MTV clips that are online (can’t remember the name of the shows), she dressed and acted very normal. From what I’ve read, she was never a club kid and she was never known to dress/act like this. It’s her “act.” Nothing wrong with that.

  33. Natalie's friend says:

    I’m diggin’ what the Lady is doing too.
    She’s not all-about-herself.
    But whoa-that fashion, it’s different for sure.

    It seems all the ones who’ve made it thru the gossip lines come-up on top.
    Lady Gaga is young. She’s still starting out. And she did come out with a BANG!

    I saw her preform in Canada. It was amazing.
    I especially loved her singing solo; just her & the piano.
    The deeds shes doing for children, MAC & AIDS started when she did.
    Kudos Lady Gaga! Can’t wait to see what you do next!

  34. Steve says:

    “Hey Beck!”

    You are right on. I’ve seen her older moves on youtube & other places.
    This chick has it down.
    The get-up is all for her act. It’s fresh.

    Don’t care if shes wearing crustacean or nothing at all!
    But the Lady has struck a cord in me. Shes different. I never heard of Madonna or (eww)Britney doing anything good for the public (well maybe Madonna did later)
    But Gaga isn’t stuck-up or stuck-on herself. She’s doing a great job.
    With a REAL Body, that she’s not into fixing with fake implants.
    Not all of her music is for me. But the Lady has it going on!

  35. Steve says:

    “Hey uhhh? Mikey”

    You said:
    NOW THERE IS SOMETHING UGLIER THAN HER!

    Whats up with your comment bro?
    Where were you going with that?
    btw; I think the Lady is FINE

    but someone calling himself ‘mikey’ might be only gender friendly, ya know.

  36. gg says:

    That shorts outfit looks like she’s ready for the freezer.

    Surely she didn’t buy the lobster if it actually is a diamond headpiece. If so those mean looking handlers might be watching the lobster and making sure she doesn’t wreck it in those shoes.

    It looks more like mylar dots than diamonds to me.

    + Gaga!

  37. katerina says:

    I’m wondering how long she can keep her sctick going? it’s getting a little old at this point. Sorry Gaga fans. She should focus on the quality of her music more, and the get-ups less!

  38. Anons says:

    i do think she’s talented; however, i don’t like her music. i think she’s smart to have a persona, which allows her to fly under the radar if she chooses to forgo it. and, i’m all for performance art but i think most often she just looks silly.

  39. Steve says:

    Anons- there ya go. I agree.

    With Lady Gaga’s persona she can change as she changes a mood.
    It’s something I don’t think she’ll want to hang onto but needs since she’s just started.

    I want to see her get rid of the fake yellow in her beautiful hair.
    Who knows maybe it’s ‘all’ a wig.
    No matter, I think shes sexier than hell.
    A good woman too, don’t care if she can cook or not. I’ll take her if you dudes don’t want her!

  40. GatsbyGal says:

    No way on earth is a plastic outfit comfortable.

  41. california angel says:

    ZZZzzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzZZZzzzz a bit “let them eat cake”, no? Talent does not compensate for douche-baggery IMO.

  42. Cheyenne says:

    ROTFLMBAO!!! Can you imagine someone showing up in church on Easter wearing that hat?

  43. kuhaw says:

    i agree with mikey.

    FREAK.

    she should spend less $ on outfits and donate more $ to the causes she supports. why does anyone need that headpiece?

  44. Erin says:

    What I find so irritating about her is the fact that she wouldn’t be anywhere near as well-known and popular if she didn’t look so outrageous all the time, and she knows it. Look at earlier pictures of her and see how ridiculous and skinny she’s gotten to fulfill the ideal she thinks will keep her relevant in the industry – her look. i’m a female musician myself, and the women in the industry who buy into this just piss me off. Can’t stand her.

  45. Trillion says:

    Kuhaw, that is just no fun at all. Do you want entertainers to dress Amish? Forego visual art? I wonder if Bowie, Brian Eno, early Genesis et al got this kind of flack for for having fun with both music and visuals. And what’s with the “ugly” comments? She’s a musician, not a model. I don’t always like what she wears but I always respect her talent, intelligence and passion for art.

  46. Vajayjay says:

    GO AWAY ALREADY!!!!!!!!

  47. CLAUDIA says:

    well, i am a huge fan of this crazy woman
    but i dont enjoy the fact of wearing lobster diamond as a hat.

    because come on is just tooo much!!!

    p.d. donate those diamonds to haiti or chile please

  48. Ed says:

    Lady Gaga marry me! I will do the laundry and cook every night!!

  49. nag says:

    I would love to see an interview with lady gaga and dame edna everage. They would both have so much in common.
