Lady Gaga at a Glance

Lady Gaga is currently one of pop culture's most famous acts. She could most readily be described as a glittery singer/song writer. Her own albums have earned her numerous Grammy nominations/awards. Prior to own career as a performer, Gaga wrote songs for the acts such as the Pussycat Dolls and Britney Spears.

What's Lady Gaga's Real Name?

This is a question asked a lot people. Lady Gaga's real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta.

Where Is Lady Gaga From?

Though many assume that she is from another planet, Lady Gaga is actually from New York. (I suppose that's sort of the same thing though.)

Where Did The Name Lady Gaga Come From?

According to Germanotta, the name Lady Gaga is derived from a song by Queen called "Radio Ga-Ga." She has regularly mentioned Queen as being one of her musical influences. The New York post reported that her name actually was created in a marketing meeting.

Lady Gaga and Facebook

In July of 2010, Lady Gaga surpassed President Obama to become the most popular living person on Facebook. At the time, she had more than 10,000,000 fans on the popular social networking site.

Lady Gaga's Sexuality

Lady Gaga has mentioned on several occasions that she is a bisexual, meaning she is "into" both men and women. This, in part, led to a popular rumor about Lady Gaga formerly being a man. Christina Aguilera also indirectly contributed to the rumor when she said, speaking of Gaga, that she "didn't know if it [was] a man or a woman."
