Lady Gaga's 'Paparazzi' Performance Nominated for 'Most Iconic' at VMAs

Lady Gaga’s epic performance of “Paparazzi” at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards is nominated at this year’s VMA ceremony for “Most Iconic Performance.” 
The Most Iconic Performance category features seven performances across the history of the VMAs, from the 1980s to today. 
This is a fan-voted category. To cast your vote for the winner, check @MTV’s Instagram story between Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 11 a.m. and Wednesday, Sept. 11 at 11 a.m. 
The full list of nominations include: 
Beyoncé – ”Love on Top” (2011) Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Madonna and Missy Elliott – “Like a Virgin”/“Hollywood” (2003) Eminem – “Real Slim Shady”/“The Way I Am” (2000) Katy Perry – ”Roar” (2013) Lady Gaga – ”Paparazzi” (2009) Madonna – ”Like a Virgin” (1984) Taylor Swift – ”You Belong With Me” (2009) Fifteen years after Gaga’s 2009 rendition of “Paparazzi,” many fans still regard it as one of the best of her career.

In a white, embellished one-sleeve top, white bottoms, thigh-high white heels and a curly blonde-pink wig, Gaga took control of the stage with stunning vocals and a “reveal” – fake blood oozing from her heart. 
As she fell to the stage, covered in blood, she was joined by a crew of dancers. At the end, she was left dangling from a rope, blood covering her face and body – even getting in her eye. 
After the night was over, Gaga took home three VMAs: Best New Artist ("Poker Face"), Best Special Effects and Best Art Direction ("Paparazzi").

'Joker' Director Reveals New Details About 'Folie à Deux'

In a new interview with Variety, “Joker: Folie à Deux” director Todd Phillips revealed some new information about the upcoming film starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga. 
Phoenix stars as Arthur Fleck, the man behind the Joker alter ego, and Gaga stars as Harleen “Lee” Quinzel, a patient in the mental hospital Arthur is held at the start of the movie. 
Phillips said the goal of the movie is to make it feel like it was “made by crazy people,” which is evident from what little information is available. 
He details how the movie begins: It kicks off with a “Looney Tunes”-inspired cartoon before showing “prison riots, courtroom faceoffs and a variety-show sequence” that starts with Phoenix and Gaga as a homicidal Sonny & Cher. 

In terms of the characterization of Harley Quinn, Phillips said he wanted her to be manipulative and amoral, but also more grounded. 
“The high voice, that accent, the gum-chewing and all that sort of sassy stuff that’s in the comics, we stripped that away,” Phillips says. “We wanted her to fit into this world of Gotham that we created from the first movie.”
Gaga spoke to Variety about Phillip’s ambition to outdo 2019’s “Joker.” 
“Todd took a very big swing with this whole concept and with the script, giving the sequel to ‘Joker’ this audacity and complexity,” Gaga said. “There’s music, there’s dance, it’s a drama, it’s also a courtroom drama, it’s a comedy, it’s happy, it’s sad. It’s a testament to [Todd] as a director, that he would rather be creative than just tell a traditional story of love.”
Because they sang live as opposed to using a pre-recorded track, Phillips said he wanted Gaga and Phoenix to capture a rawer, more unstable sound than they’re used to performing, in an attempt to strike a balance between euphoria and despair. 
 
 
“We asked ourselves what would need to be true for two people to just break into song in the middle of a conversation?” Gaga said. “Where does the music come from when no one can hear it but the characters? Neither Arthur nor Lee are professional singers, and they shouldn’t sound like they are.”
So far, there are three confirmed songs that Phoenix and Gaga perform in the film: “Get Happy” by Judy Garland, “For Once In My Life” by Stevie Wonder and “That’s Life” by Frank Sinatra. It has not been officially confirmed if Gaga contributes original music to the film’s soundtrack. 
While the film makes use of music, Phillips said he’s reluctant to call it a musical because, “Most of the music in the movie is really just dialogue.”  
“Joker: Folie à Deux" will premiere in theaters on Oct. 4, 2024.

Lady Gaga Teases New Music and Debuts Black Hairstyle

Nearly three months after announcing "GAGA RETURNS," Lady Gaga continues to tease new music from a forthcoming project.
On August 13, 2024, Gaga posted a short video of her playing the piano in Bruno Mars merchandise, captioned with a black heart and piano emoji.
 
 
While not officially confirmed, Gaga and Bruno have been interacting on social media all week, leading fans to believe a collaboration may be on the way. 
After Gaga's video showed her in a Bruno Mars T-shirt, Bruno posted a photo to his Instagram wearing Gaga's merch – featuring a T-shirt with an artist's rendition of Gaga's "Born This Way" skeleton look. 
 
 
It is unclear whether the collaboration would appear on Gaga's or Bruno's upcoming project. 
In addition to this week's piano snippet, Gaga has debuted three studio snippets to date. The first came in May, at the end of the "GAGA Chromatica Ball" film, aptly called "Dance in the Shadow" by fans. 
The other two snippets, played for Paris fans after her performance at the 2024 Summer Olympics, had a similar heavy, dark sound, most reminiscent of the "Born This Way" era. 
 
 
Despite being a blonde through the eighth leg of her "Jazz & Piano" residency and her Olympics performance, Gaga showed off a darker look on social media this week.
In a post to Instagram, Gaga debuted her new black hair with an oversized, leopard print jacket and bold, white sunglasses. 
 
 
Later, she was seen out and about in Malibu, California, featuring her dark hair and black sunglasses.

Lady Gaga Partakes In Olympic Games Ceremony

Lady Gaga made a spectacular appearance at the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.
The ceremony took place this Friday, July 26th, and for the first time in the history of the Summer Olympic Games, it was not held in a stadium. The Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony was held in the heart of the city along its main artery, the river Seine. Gaga was part of the ceremony, performing a special version of "Mon truc en plumes" by Zizi Jeanmaire.


The performance was pre-recorded a few hours before the ceremony to avoid technical issues from the heavy rain.
You can rewatch the full performance below.
"I feel so completely grateful to have been asked to open the Paris 2024 this year. I am also humbled to be asked by the Olympics organizing committee to sing such a special French song—a song to honor the French people and their tremendous history of art, music, and theatre. This song was sung by Zizi Jeanmaire, born in Paris a French ballerina, she famously sang “Mon Truc en Plumes” in 1961. The title means “My Thing with Feathers.” And this is not the first time we’ve crossed paths. Zizi starred in Cole Porter’s musical “Anything Goes” which was my first jazz release. Although I am not a French artist, I have always felt a very special connection with French people and singing French music—I wanted nothing more than to create a performance that would warm the heart of France, celebrate French art and music, and on such a momentous occasion remind everyone of one of the most magical cities on earth—Paris. We rented pom poms from Le Lido archive—a real French cabaret theater. We collaborated with Dior to create custom costumes, using naturally molted feathers. I studied French choreography that put a modern twist on a French classic. I rehearsed tirelessly to study a joyful French dance, brushing up on some old skills—I bet you didn’t know I used to dance at a 60’s French party on the lower east side when I was first starting out! I hope you love this performance as much as I do. And to everyone in France, thank you so much for welcoming me to your country to sing in honor of you—it’s a gift I’ll never forget! Congratulations to all the athletes who are competing in this year’s Olympic Games! It is my supreme honor to sing for you and cheer you on!! Watching the Olympic Games always makes me cry! Your talent is unimaginable. Let the games begin!"
The message included pictures from a new photoshoot by Rémi Lamandé, taken on the side of the river where she performed.


After the performance, Lady Gaga was seen leaving her hotel in an incredible green outfit.

Lady Gaga Graces The Cover of EMPIRE as Harley Quinn

EMPIRE Magazine has unveiled the cover of their upcoming issue, featuring Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix as Harley Quinn and the Joker.

Lady Gaga gave her first interview about her role in "Joker: Folie à Deux," discussing how she adjusted her singing voice to sound more authentic for her character "Lee."
"People know me by my stage name, Lady Gaga, right? That’s me as that performer, but that is not what this movie is; I’m playing a character. So I worked a lot on the way that I sang to come from Lee, and to not come from me as a performer. [...] How do you take music and have it just be an extension of the dialogue, as opposed to breaking into song for no conceivable reason? It was unlike anything I’ve ever done before.

[...] For me, there’s plenty of bum notes, actually, from Lee, I’m a trained singer, right? So even my breathing was different when I sang as Lee. When I breathe to sing on stage, I have this very controlled way to make sure that I’m on pitch and it’s sustained at the right rhythm and amount of time, but Lee would never know how to do any of that. So it’s like removing the technicality of the whole thing, removing my perceived art-form from it all and completely being inside of who she is."

In another part of the interview, Lady Gaga shared that while she drew some inspiration from the Harley Quinn of the comic books, she ultimately created her own version of the character, influenced by followers of Charles Manson.
You can read the full interview here.
The new issue of EMPIRE Magazine will be available on newsstands on Thursday, August 1.

“Joker: Folie à Deux” will hit theaters around the globe this October.

Lady Gaga Wraps 8th Leg of Las Vegas Residency

Last night, Lady Gaga finished the eighth leg of her “Jazz & Piano” residency in Las Vegas. 
The eight-show run opened at Dolby Live at Park MGM on June 19, 2024, and wrapped on July 6.
Gaga has now played 48 "Jazz & Piano" shows since 2019. 
 
 
The production was largely unchanged from Gaga’s prior “Jazz & Piano” shows in October 2023, aside from a new black-and-blonde wig,  and a revamped wardrobe. 
 
 
One major change to the set list includes the addition of “Americano” from Gaga’s 2011 album Born This Way, marking its first public live performance since The Born This Way Ball in 2013. 
 
 
Gaga's classic "Poker Face," "Paparazzi," "Bad Romance," "Born This Way" and "Stupid Love" remained on the set list. 
 
 
There is still a chance to catch Gaga performing jazz in the future. At the July 5 show, Gaga confirmed she will return to Las Vegas with a “brand new show," though she made no indication of when. 
 
 
Earlier in the leg, she teased the possibility of pop shows in the future. 
 
 
While Gaga didn’t directly address new music after teasing her return at the end of the GAGA Chromatica Ball film, fans tried to make her. Several shouted about LG7, but the most Gaga did to address the demand was offer a "not tonight," on the night of the first show. 
 
 
Later in the run, Gaga gave a fan a look after they shouted, "LG7 next!" to her.

Sasha Velour Interviews Lady Gaga about The Chromatica Ball

RuPaul's Drag Race winner Sasha Velour interviewed Lady Gaga about her concert special GAGA Chromatica Ball ahead of its premiere in May.
You can watch the interview below.
 
"Chromatica, for me, is an ending and a beginning at the same time," Gaga said. 
While Gaga recalled the songwriting process for Chromatica as being both thoughtful and filled with anxiety, she called the tour a "total liberation." 
"It was like every faculty that I have when it comes to being an imaginative person just came back full throttle," Gaga said. 
Gaga said her performances and music are inspired by her fans, and the Chromatica Ball film is no different. 
"The way that this film was put together was designed to show the fans everything," Gaga said. "The fashion, the art direction, the films that were shown, the beautiful hair and makeup, was all a part of what Chromatica was all about." 
When asked if the Chromatica Ball tour allowed her to examine new parts of herself, Gaga said her biggest challenge when it comes to reinvention is to slow down.
"Sometimes I want to transform so much that I am just, like, a loose cannon," Gaga said. "All the fans know exactly what I'm talking about." 
Despite this, the tour helped her understand that she's always an artist, even when she's in between projects. 
"I get to be an artist every day, and whatever my reinvention is, is a part of that," Gaga said. 
To close the interview, Gaga teased a little bit of what to expect from her new music. 
"I have just been in the studio all the time, and I'm making a lot of music," Gaga said. "It's just this incredibly vast experience that I just feel so lucky that I get to have. I'm excited for Monsters to hear where I am now and be connecting on that level again." 
GAGA Chromatica Ball is available to stream on Max and Warner Pass.

Lady Gaga Denies Pregnancy Rumors And Gets Support From Taylor Swift

After taking to social media to dispel pregnancy rumors, Lady Gaga received support from Taylor Swift on her official TikTok account. 
On June 4, Gaga posted a TikTok referencing the rumors with lyrics from Swift’s “Down Bad,” affirming fans that she’s “not pregnant – just down bad cryin at the gym.” 
In the same post, Gaga encouraged fans to check their voter registration status at headcount.org. 
 
 
Hours later, Swift left a comment on how it is “invasive and irresponsible to comment on a woman's body.”
“Gaga doesn't owe anyone an explanation & neither does any woman,” Swift wrote. 
 
 
The two pop superstars have shown support for each other before, with “Applause” being on the official pre-show playlist for The Eras Tour.
Last year, Gaga left a comment of support when Swift posted a TikTok detailing her experience with an eating disorder.
