The name of this photo set is “Lady Gaga poses with hot dog”. I really can’t do any better than that, you know? IT’S ART, BITCHES. I eagerly await “Lady Gaga poses with chili” and “Lady Gaga poses with chicken salad.”

So, these are photos of Lady Gaga doing a photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz in NYC yesterday. There were lots of costume changes, all of them pretty odd and whatever. As you can see, after spending a few weeks dressing relatively normally, Gaga is now back to costumes and looking like a drag queen. In fact, I actually had to double check some of these photos just to make sure it wasn’t really a Gaga drag act.

I wonder why Annie is shooting Gaga? I mean, for what magazine? Gaga was the cover girl for Vogue in March, and she was just on the cover of Vanity Fair last summer. Annie generally only shoots for Vogue and VF these days, so if I was taking bets, I’d say it was probably for VF. Ah, CONFIRMED! So, what month will Gaga be? Maybe the… December issue? No, the November issue, I bet. I think VF still uses November for their “Music Issue”. Why not put Adele on the cover of Vanity Fair? Because Gaga just isn’t over-exposed enough?

Gaga has a new interview too:

Lady Gaga sat down with French fashion pioneer Jean-Paul Gaultier for a special that aired Monday night on the CW. The singer opened up to the fashion designer about her beginnings and what she calls her “self-indulgent” youth.

“I just was partying and being very self-indulgent and trying to find myself. In hindsight, it’s so dangerous, and I don’t encourage anyone to follow that path,” she told the designer. “I remember my dad … I was actually doing drugs in my parents’ house one day and they didn’t know I was in the bathroom. I came out, and my father could tell, and I just remember feeling so embarrassed and I quit instantly.”

Despite her hard-partying ways, Gaga always maintained her pop star ambitions. She talked about quitting college, performing in small New York clubs and making the decision to take off her clothes during her performances to get everyone’s attention.

“I knew that there was something I loved about the shock-art potential of what I could create,” she said. “I like to liberate myself with my ability to change.”

She later likened that philosophy to her look: “I still love trash glamour; it’s so much of my favorite thing about getting dressed. I love the mixture of things that are really elegant with things that are really trashy.”

That combination has made her a superstar. She explained, “My cultural contribution and social contribution was really an honor and still so humbled by it. I hope I can continue to use my voice to make an impact on my generation.”

Jesus Christ. All this bitch ever talks about is how she used to be a cokehead for two seconds a few years ago. That’s her “origin story” and I guess she thinks that if she just repeats it enough, it will become real. The reality is that she’s still a cokehead mess, IMO. And she’s just so… boring.

She almost flashed her cooter too. “Lady Gaga poses with hot dog, flashes cooter.” I won’t even start.
