Lady Gaga’s new song, “Born This way,” explains that it was not the lupus all along, but rather that she was indeed born ugly.

“It feels great to finally be able to admit that,” says Gaga, “I’m so tired of hiding behind gaudy, clothing, and pretending that I’m doing it for fashion. And frankly, at this point I’m rich enough that it doesn’t matter what I look like. Madonna said she likes me.”

Heard a pretty funny song this morning on local talk show called "Butterface" - song to the tune of "PokerFace".

You know what's funny?

As much as you guys are whining back and forth about Eminem vs Gaga, as if there were a definitive answer to what's better in the purely subjective field that is music....I'd bet that the majority of their core audiences are the same people.

To those saying Gaga only does outlandish things for attention....Umm, no shit. She's brilliant at marketing herself and staying in the spotlight. Just like Eminem. Are some of the things he raps about "real"? Sure...but a lot of the outlandish, over the top lyrics he uses are just for shock value. There's a reason both of them sell so well. Its not that they are or aren't talented...they both are, in different ways...its that they're both very good at selling their image. And considering this is their job, at the forefront of a multi-million dollar industry, not a bunch of hippies jamming in their garage...that's a good thing.

main thing is that it is amazing how little clothing she can wear and still scare away boners:p i think her actual achievement is becoming a gay man simulator.

No he didnt

No he didn't what? If you're debating the 1.7 number I brought up, ok maybe it was only 1.3, not really sure. But bickering over it not being 1.7 is pointless when it outsold everyone in 2010. And if you Googled it like I suspected you did, the 750k number you found was for the US only.

I think there is some truth to her dressing up to hide the fact that she is not that attractive. She's certainly talented though.

Definitely know how to market themselves, yup. However, I think Eminem actually produces a lot more work than Gaga which is why he's #1 in pop culture. And he's not putting out trash either, it's decent stuff where he's doing cameos with other pop artists as well as underground (lesser known) artists with his battle rapping on mixtapes. Not to mention his Sirius/XM station. He's 10X bigger than Gaga, who puts an album once a year. Some of his stuff after Recovery:

^^Very good effort put forth by Em and Royce, arguably as good as Recovery from last year. The Gaga diss was humorous.

I just realized she looks like Esteban's prostitute with the cut lip in "Kill Bill Vol. 2"!
