Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga could still ''make you cry'' with her musical ability even if her outrageous clothes and publicity stunts were stripped from her.

Lady Gaga could still "make you cry" with her musical ability if all her gimmicks were stripped from her.

The eccentric 'Judas' singer is famed for her outrageous outfits - such as wearing a dress made from cuts of meat and publicity stunts including being carried into a performance at the Grammy awards in an egg shaped 'vessel', but insists underneath it all her raw talent is what makes her a star.

She told NME magazine: "Let me tell you something. If you f***ing rip my hairbow and my wig off my f***ing head, my shoes, my bra, every single thing on my body, and you throw me on a piano with a microphone, I will f***ing make you cry."

Gaga also vowed to continue writing her own hits and wishes prospective producers would stop sending her their material to perform.

She added: "I'm not going to start churning out what you expect. If you want me to be a manufactured act, you can f**k off."

The 25-year-old 'Bad Romance' star - real name Stefani Germanotta - also feels she is misunderstood despite being open about who is.

She added: "I feel I have been probed endlessly about who the f**k I am. I have been quite open about it.

"And still nobody seems to have a clue."

Lady Gaga Meets the Evil Queen

Taking advantage of a break from stage duties, Lady Gaga paid a visit to the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, FL over the weekend (April 16).

The "Judas" singer seemed to be having a marvelous time as she gave a growl while clenching an apple and striking a pose with the Evil Queen from the legendary Disney film "Snow White".

The Magic Kingdom visit came just hours after Gaga proudly unveiled the cover art to her album “Born This Way,” as she tweeted to her millions of followers, "So happy+free to finally share this w you, riding around with the booklet! Can't believe its here!"

The new album's artwork was put together by Nick Knight and the Haus of Gaga creative team while depicting the 25-year-old blended into a motorcycle in a black and white design topped off with colorful red lips. "Born This Way" is set to be released on May 23rd.

Kate Gosselin on Dating

Kate Gosselin is back out there and she doesn't seem to be loving every minute of it.

"I'm kind of out-ish, sort of," the Kate Plus 8 star said cautiously during an exclusive interview with E! News. "I was out in New York. It was kind of weird. You never really picture yourself back in that scene after you're done with it in your twenties.

"But I'm trying to be a little more open minded," added the famously no-nonsense divorcee. "If there's anybody out there that wants to deal with us, that would be good."

It's not like the mother of eight, who has gone through media hell and back over the last couple of years, hasn't come a long way, though.

Kate Gosselin vs. Lady Gaga

"I'm encouraging the kids to enjoy their time with him," Kate says, referring to ex-hubby Jon, who to put it mildly she did not have the nicest things to say about when they first split up. (Not that the erstwhile man-child, who takes charge of their eight children for two weekends each
month, was deserving of lavish praise at the time, of course.)

But now, Kate says, she's "keeping the communication as positive as possible." She would be more convincing if she smiled when she says that, but baby steps.

"It feels normal to me now," she says of running a one parent household. "I don't know when that point hit, but it does feel normal. There was an adjustment period for sure, but I have always been in charge of running the household" oh, burn! "so that's no different."

And though it can be overwhelming to have to deal with each and every handyman who comes to the house, Kate says, "I feel empowered at this point."

"But if you're asking me, 'Would I love to hand that over one day?' Yes, please." she told.

While filming Kate Plus 8, she and the kids twins Mady and Cara and sextuplets Aaden, Collin, Joel, Leah, Alexis, and Hannah have been on trips to Alaska and Australia and enjoying all sorts of adventures. But Kate says that she now prefers being on the couch each Monday and Tuesday for Dancing With the Stars, which she failed at so spectacularly last year.

"I wouldn't have voted for myself because I root for the ones that do well," Kate says frankly, when asked if she's pulling for former partner Tony Dovolani and the new celeb on his arm, Wendy Williams. "I love Chelsea and Mark."

Lady Gaga Born This Way

Fun, empowering and over-the-top. Those are the first adjectives that come to mind upon hearing Lady Gaga's "Born This Way." Between Gaga's empowering lyrics and the music's heavy club influences, the song is set to appease her fans and pop lovers everywhere who had no idea what Gaga had up her meat sleeves for this highly anticipated single, which debuted early Friday morning.

At first listen, it sounds a lot like a '90s club anthem that could have been pulled right out Madonna's "Vogue" period, complete with rhythmic spoken-word parts. But upon a closer listen, Gaga's distinct voice makes the song all hers.

"It doesn't matter if you love him or capital H-I-M," she says on loop at the song's beginning, "because you were born this way, baby."

As synths crash into a beat, Gaga belts out the song's first verse, "My mama told me when I was young, We are all born superstars." She then quickly moves into the chorus, and it's clear this song is meant to be heard in a big space. It's fast and hard-hitting.

Gaga sings in the middle of the song: "Don't be a drag, be a queen Whether you're broke or evergreen. You're black, white, beige, chola descent. You're Lebanese, You're Orient, Whether life's disabilities, Left you outcast, bullied or teased, Rejoice and love yourself today, 'Cause baby you we're born this way, No matter gay, straight, or bi, Lesbian, transgendered life, I'm on the right track baby, I was born to survive, No matter black, white or beige, Chola or Orient made, I'm on the right track baby, I was born to be brave."

The music fades out momentarily as Gaga sings a cappella before a synthy organ comes back in and she closes out the song, her voice clear and strong. The song is part gospel for her little monsters (particularly the ones who feel persecuted for their sexuality or other differences) and part funky dance tune that anyone could relate to.

The song was written and co-produced by Gaga. Fernando Garibay and DJ White Shadow also got co-production credits on the track, which will appear on her May album of the same name.
