Barbie Goes Gaga



Lady Gaga, dressed in a cherry-red lace dress with matching mask, accepts the award for best new artist at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Halfway through her acceptance speech, the singer stripped off her mask and thorny crown, re-created on the doll at left, to address the crowd.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth met U.S. Lady Gaga following the Royal Variety Performance in Blackpool, England on Dec. 7, 2009. Gaga wore a stunning red dress and matching eye makeup for the occasion, as does her doll version on left.

Of her pantless style, the singer told Rolling Stone magazine: "My grandmother is basically blind, but she can make out the lighter parts, like my skin and hair. She says, 'I can see you, because you have no pants on.' So I’ll continue to wear no pants so that my grandma can see me.”

Madonna Does The Mad Hatter - Or Is It The Other Way Around?


In my book Madonna can do no wrong (except her outings in Ed Hardy - what was she thinking?) but I still could not resist this great image of Madge as Alice in Wonderland's The Mad Hatter. Totally separated at birth!! Genius, huh?
