Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (/ˈstɛfəniː dʒʌrməˈnɑːtə/ STE-fə-nee jurr-mə-NAH-tə; born March 28, 1986), known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American singer and songwriter. Born and raised in New York City, she primarily studied at the Convent of the Sacred Heart and briefly attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before withdrawing to focus on her musical career. She began performing in the rock music scene of Manhattan's Lower East Side, and was signed with Streamline Records by the end of 2007. During her employment as a songwriter for the record company, her vocal abilities captured the attention of recording artist Akon, who signed her to his label Kon Live Distribution.

Lady Gaga came to prominence as a recording artist following the release of her debut album The Fame (2008), which was a critical and commercial success that topped charts around the world and included the international number-one singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". After embarking on the The Fame Ball Tour, she followed the album with The Fame Monster (2009), which spawned the worldwide hit singles "Bad Romance", "Telephone" and "Alejandro". The Fame Monster's success allowed her to embark on the eighteen-month long Monster Ball Tour, which later became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. Her most recent album Born This Way (2011) topped the charts of most major markets and generated more international chart-topping singles, including "Born This Way", "Judas" and "The Edge of Glory". Besides her musical career, she involves herself with humanitarian causes and LGBT activism.

Lady Gaga's film appearance

Can someone please add the poster of her playing the role 'La Chameleon' in the new movie? I don't know how. Also, we should make this a small section (meaning a 2-4 line paragraph) on its own when we get more info. Thanks! Zeus Gold Asterri, July 26 2012 2:37pm

Twitter use

I haven't seen Twitter section added into this article. I wonder if it is worth an inclusion. --George Ho (talk) 21:07, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

I wouldn't have thought that was too notable, except for being the most followed person in the world i mean. Other than that there's nothing else to add is there? Thanks ツ Jenova20 ^(email) 11:17, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Ancestry

I thought she was Jewish?

GAGA HAS CONFIRMED IT HERSELF: http://gagadaily.com/index.php?/topic/27011-gaga-confirms-artpop-as-the-title-of-the-new-album/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.25.97.2 (talk) 07:31, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

ENOUGH! NEW ALBUM: ARTPOP — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.25.99.125 (talk) 20:23, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

No, those links don't look like confirmation to me: Lady Gaga hasn't explicitly stated that the new album will have that title, and none of the above links are reliable sources. Most of those links are from a forum, with people just stating this is the title. Until there's some sort of official confirmation, I don't think this should be added just yet.

https://twitter.com/ladygaga/status/232114376067403776 this is sort of an official confirmation--78.12.79.191 (talk) 14:26, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

She said she was announcing the title in September. You all need to calm down. She's clearly describing the album's sound as Artpop; a play on Pop art. Statυs (talk) 14:50, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a397438/lady-gagas-new-album-to-be-called-artpop.html

She has confirmed the title on twitter and there are thousands of articles confirming ARTPOP as it's title. --Rui78901 15:23, 5 August 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rui78901 (talk • contribs)

Are any of the articles in reliable sources? —C.Fred (talk) 16:37, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Taylor Kinney

There is a source on Taylor Kinney's page supporting the fact that they are dating. I think she confirmed it in her recent webchat too. Is there a reason why this hasn't been included?? Jennie | ☎ 22:30, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

ARTPOP in all caps, or Ga[Gg]a and WP:MOS, part two

Since an article exists for ARTPOP, it's a question best asked now, and I've asked it at Talk:ARTPOP. Per MOS:CAPS, do we leave the title in all capital letters, or do we reduce it to mixed case? —C.Fred (talk) 23:08, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Leave the title in capital letters since that's how Gaga said it should be https://twitter.com/ladygaga/status/232114376067403776 --Christianrxx (talk) 02:27, 6 August 2012 (UTC)Christianrxx

"Official names" are not mandatories. This is Wikipedia not Gagapedia. We follow the MOS, not Little Monster's desires. Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 02:47, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Per MOS, the title and any reference to it should be written as Artpop, regardless of whatever Gaga says. Same scenario as Janet (which was stylized by Jackson as janet.) The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 02:52, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 9 August 2012

All references to her upcoming album ARTPOP should be in all caps. Current this article has the album listed as "Artpop." Here's Gaga's tweet about the correct spelling: https://twitter.com/ladygaga/status/232114376067403776

== Personal Life ==

Gaga is openly Bisexual, which she expressed her experiences though her hit single Poker Face (Lady Gaga song). "Poker Face" was inspired by Gaga's boyfriends who enjoyed gambling, and also dealt with her personal experience of bisexuality; her fantasies about women while having sex with men, thus representing her 'poker face'." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ziggybooboo (talk • contribs) 22:08, 13 August 2012 (UTC) In early February, at her visit at Brentwood School in LA, Gaga confessed that she suffered from Bulimia Nervosa, in her teens. She stated that "I used to throw up all the time in high school. So I'm not that confident. And maybe it's easier for me to talk about it now because I don't do it anymore." Gaga later stated as a teen she wanted to be a skinny little Ballerina,and always questioned her father every dinner on why they always ate pasta and meatballs. Gaga stopped purging due to fear of damaging her vocal chords. "The acid on your vocal chords -- it's very bad. But for those of you who don't sing, you maybe don't have that excuse until it's too late. It's very dangerous," she said. Gaga also spoke about societies pressures of being thin on young girls especially in the fashion industry. "Every video I'm in, every magazine cover, they stretch you; they make you perfect It's not real life... The dieting wars have got to stop." Ziggybooboo (talk) 21:53, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Without a source, we can't include this—especially since there are direct quotes that must be verified. —C.Fred (talk) 21:57, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Artistry

In her Artistry section it says that she was named queen of pop by Rolling Stone. I think that it should be noted that the mentioned poll only refers to people between the years of 2009 and mid-2011

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/introducing-the-queen-of-pop-20110629

As the very next week, Madonna was named the Queen of Pop by Rolling Stone in a landslide victory because of the uproar behind the previous Queen of Pop poll
