Lady Gaga Wears Mask for Press Conference - Has She Gone Too Far?

At the press conference for MTV's "Isle of MTV - Malta Special," Gaga informs the press about her face-covering accessory: "it's not just a mask, it's a contemporary art piece."
With her voice muffled by the "contemporary art piece," Gaga attempted to talk about her inspiration, which includes photographer Helmut Newton -- no surprise there.
She keeps mum about her favorite fashion designer, but says she is currently into the fashion at sex shops. (Big shocker!)
Appropriately then, the 23-year old singer wore a bondage-inspired dress with black leather gloves of two different lengths.
While we're all for fashion experimentation, we think Gaga has taken her hit single "Poker Face" a bit too literally!

Gaga Over Lady GaGa
Attack of the Slashers! Rihanna and Lady GaGa are both known for their killer fashions, and here they demonstrate why pop stars have all of the fun. Last month, RiRi strutted her stuff in leather leggings by Rodarte while out and about in New York City. Over the weekend, GaGa's cutouts only enhanced the pandemonium among feverish fans as she arrived at an airport in Japan.

According to GaGa she and Gwen Stefani have nothing in common beyond their hair color, but we see it a little differently. Musically the two aren't a match, but it's hard to deny GaGa borrows from Ms Stefani's style.

GaGa is not the first nor will she be the last to pay tribute to Madonna's legendary style but she's certainly more committed to bringing back the cone bra than any of Madge's other admirers.

There is no one Lady GaGa references more than Grace Jones. In fact, if Lady GaGa is doing it chances are Grace Jones did it bigger and badder before Ms. GaGa was even out of diapers.

From the hoods, to her love of wearing undies instead of actual pants, Lady GaGa clearly adores the Aussie poptart Kylie Minogue's style.

The 2001 VMA weren't a high style point for Britney Spears but that didn't stop GaGa from following in the Princess of Pop's style footsteps.

Nicole Richie knows a thing or two about what it's like to have half of Hollywood rip off your style. The expectant mom poses as Tinseltown's latest muse on the cover of BlackBook.

One part No Doubt era Gwen Stefani, one part MIA, a dash of Blondie and suddenly Richie is 100% GaGa.

Paris Hilton's "anything Nicole can do I can do better" attitude struck again during a recent photo shoot in which the heiress channeled GaGa.

Brown paper bag or black mask...whatever makes her more attractive. At least we are spared having to look at her face.

You want to make fun of her fashion choices? Fine. But to make fun of her looks? I'd LOVE to see what most of you look like. Talk about shallow-minded and cruel.

LOL!! your right I think the black mask makes her look better.

You're funny!! I totally agree! If this is fashion I'm living in the wrong times!! She is a joke and I think she's portraying herself as a trashy version of Gwen Stefani!!

I am in love and his name is Mr. Power Colon Cleanse http://tinyurl.com/PowerColonCleanse ! This is by far the best cleansing product available. I saw it on Oprah and thought I would give it a try. Power Colon Cleanse has pretty much changed the way I live my life. My daily chores are done in a breeze and I have more energy, not to mention more time in my day since I don't mind jumping out of bed in the mornings at 7:00 am now. This is not just a cleanser. It is also a detox. I can feel it working and have only been using it for 6 weeks.

untalented? Have you seen her AOL live sessions (you tube acoustic poker face--you will not believe your ears)? Girl could kick the art-house pop-star schtick and be a jazz singer if she wanted to. But I'm glad she doesn't -- if she's not as smart as she purports to be, at least she's got a good sense of humor.

Speaking of idiots, the term is "woodwork"....idiot

I'm sorry, but who is this woman and what does she do to warrant media attention? I have never heard of her before. Is she another Paris Hlton type?

To compare Lady Gaga to Paris Hilton is like comparing apples and oranges. Paris Hilton is a no talent idiot who is famous for being famous. Paris represents the type of female that puts our gender to shame. Lady Gaga is so talented, even if you don't like her type of music or style, she can sing and dance and has much to contribute. Most of you putting her down haven't even heard of her or listened to her music so it just shows how judgmental you are and that is ignorant.

This is what people with little or no talent do to get attention.

actually she comes from your neck of the woods...not exactly but your side of the globe. she is from germany, and just as big over there as over here..so not all the freaks come from hollywood lol, at least she did something to get her attention, like actually working. all paris did was be born into money and then spend it partying
Cindy 7-10-2009 @ 10:28AM
Actually Natosha she is from Yonkers NY, from a Italian family. Get your facts straight and read sometime....
Natosha 7-10-2009 @ 12:02PM
there is no need to be rude when correcting someone..that just shows lack of grace...also I have read about it. one more than one site. AND I have even heard he refered to as german born. so some sites and radio stations are wrong, my god who ever though that the media could be wrong?! and according to I guess..you..reading the wrong sites makes me stupid. but im also not the one insulting people
akalerb 7-10-2009 @ 7:55PM
Natosha -- Aaarg is from NEW England.. That's in the United States. So even though you were wrong, you were actually right.
