Lady Gaga nude on Rollingstone June 2009 issue

Do you recognise her?

Music sensation and style queen Lady Gaga ditched the hair conditioner and stripped down to even less than usual for the June cover of Rolling Stone.

Sporting a hair-raising attack of the frizzies, the controversial blonde wears a see-through PVC bodice with some well-placed bubbles to cover up her unmentionables.

She tells the mag, “I don’t feel like I look like the other perfect little pop singers. I think I’m changing what people think is sexy."

What do you think of Gaga's bubblelicious look?

I think she's right about her changing what people think is sexy. She does actually look sexy in a very unconventional way. She has the curve and the legs like any typical good looking people yet she shines in her own way with her unprecedented style.

Lady Gaga steals the Pussycat Dolls show

The Herald Sun reports that Lady Gaga upstaged the Pussycat Dolls during her performance as a support for the Pussycat Dolls show in New Zealand. Below is the full text of the article....

The New Zealand Herald review said Gaga outsang, outshone and out-sexed the Dolls, in half the time and half the space. And Gaga said her Kiwi fans were easy to detect -- not just visually.

"I had opened for the Dolls in the United Kingdom but it was right on the cusp when I was cracking," she said.

"So the audience there knew me but they didn't really know me. Those kids in New Zealand f--king knew me.

"I know the Dolls fans well, they're much younger. But I could smell marijuana . . . which led me to believe Lady Gaga fans had shown up."

While a gracious Gaga won't comment on showing up the Dolls, she insists this will be her last tour as a support. "I love supporting the Dolls, those girls let me do my show, they're not insecure women . . . But I'm ready to be a headliner all the time."

In Sydney, Lady Gaga appeared on Channel 10 show on Sunday night Rove Live in a white dress and a ridiculous hair-do. Gaga impressed the audiences with her latest single "love game". She gave the host Rove Macmanus her latest design "no pants" pants. She seems like a nice enough girl to me, with a wicked sense of style. haha.. love her!

Check out Lady Gaga on Rove Live backstage video if you are a fan.

Yun-ha accused of plagiarism in new song 1, 2, 3

Korean blogs are buzzing with debate whether Kpop singer Yun-ha song 1, 2, 3 is a copycat work of the Jackson 5's song ABC. The first part of Yun-ha songs to me does sound a lot like the Jackson 5's. In her defence, Yun-ha record company was quoted saying that the song "1, 2, 3, is a Korean - Japanese- Swedish work. It is neither a sampling or a remake and is an innocent composition that we have created."

Well, we have to let our listeners be the judge of that.

Her latest album released in early April featuring "Luv U Luv U" was also accused of copying Lady Gaga so well known track "Just Dance".

Yun-ha's album was critised for lack of originaility.

What do you think? Would you buy her album if you knew she's ripping off someone else's music?

Although it hasn't been confirmed but there is a possibility that Britney Spears "Circus" tour may go down under.

Attorneys for the pop singer and Spears' father and conservator, James Spears, discussed the idea of expanding her current "Circus" tour to include dates in Australia and Europe during a Wednesday hearing. Nothing was decided in court, and another hearing was scheduled for April 14.

Spears is currently touring the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The tour is currently scheduled to end in Manchester, England, on June 17.

The 27-year-old singer and her estate have been under the conservatorship of her father since last year.
