Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, better known by her stage name Lady Gaga was born on March 28, 1986. She started her career performing in NYC clubs while working at Interscope Records.

Lady Gaga was discovered by recording artist Akon, who signed her to his label shortly after hearing her sing for the first time. She began working with a collective called the "Haus of Gaga" in 2008, and released her debut album The Fame.

Her chart topping song 'Just Dance' was nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 51st Grammy Awards. She also has another number one song, 'Poker Face.'

After opening for New Kids On The Block and the Pussycat Dolls, Gaga headlined her first tour, The Fame Ball.

Gaga is also very into fashion. She has been primarily influenced by glam rockers like David Bowie and Queen, singers Michael Jackson and Madonna, artist Andy Warhol, poet Rainer Maria Rilke, fashion icon and entertainer Grace Jones, and fashion as a whole.

In the May 2009 issue of Rolling Stone, Gaga stated that she is bisexual and is inspired by beautiful women. She claims there are parts of her sexuality that make her "uncomfortable."

From the sound of it, Lady Gaga’s teen years sucked. But then again, I guess everyone’s did.

In addition to being bullied, Lady Gaga has revealed that she also suffered from bulimia as a teenager.

“I used to throw up all the time in high school,” Gaga said at the ‘It’s Our Turn’ conference yesterday. “So I’m not that confident. I wanted to be a skinny little ballerina but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night.”
Lady Gaga conquered Twitter by being the first celebrity to reach 18 million followers. She has over 47 million likes on Facebook. And on Myspace--wait, is Myspace even a thing anymore?

So now, the only thing left for Lady Gaga to do is create her own social networking site so she can beat the whole Internet, once and for all. The singer is launching littlemonsters.com, a social networking site made specifically for Lady Gaga fans.

The site is currently being set up and the webpage invites fans to sign up with their email addresses

For most of us, getting mistaken for a celebrity is usually awesome. For celebs, it’s not as awesome, because, well, they’re already celebs.

A handful of celebrities have often been mistaken for other celebrities. Sometimes they’re flattered, sometimes they’re annoyed. But at any rate, here are some notable celebrities who have been mistaken for other celebrities.

Zooey Deschanel & Katy Perry: Zooey didn’t take it very well when she was compared, looks-wise, to pop star Katy Perry. “It’s a little bit annoying to be totally blunt,” Zooey said. “The only similarity that we have is that we look a little bit alike…I’m happy that she’s famous enough now that she’s not going out and being mistaken for me.” And she did it without a single Ukulele.

I guess Kanye West didn't find anything good on TV on Wednesday night, because he spent about two hours on Twitter posting about everything from fashion to the education system.

Mostly, though, Kanye talked about his new design company, DONDA, named after his late mother. Here are some highlights from Kanye's Twitter Rant:

Backlash from his meltdown at the MTV VMAs: Kanye said he had “an office in LA that was shut down after the "MTV" moment along with my tour with GAGA.”
You’re a brave woman, Sandra Bullock.

Bullock is slated to star in a 3-D space movie, titled Gravity. The Oscar winner will play the role of an astronaut trying to get back to Earth after her space station blows up. Director Alfonso Cuaron will lead the project, and he has told Sandra she’s not allowed to wear make-up.

Sandra looks good, but George Clooney is in this movie. I don’t care how good-looking you are, can you imagine meeting George Clooney without at least some mascara on?
