Watch: Lady GaGa Shares Thoughts On Azealia Banks : ‘She’s Got A Bad Attitude’
She’s the mild mannered Pop philanthropist oft praised for her kind hearted and giving nature.
Alas, it seems not even Lady GaGa had time to deal with the mess that is Azealia Banks- whom she reportedly was due to collaborate with on a song allegedly named ‘Ratchet‘.
What the ‘Born This Way Foundation‘ founder had to say on the ‘Broke With An Absent Release Date’ star performer?
Meet us after the jump!
It’s such a shame that Azealia personality has successfully undone all the hard work she’s put in to her work.
For, whether one understands her ‘messiness’ or not, her content puts many a seasoned act to shame- proving that one doesn’t have to have a major label budget to release videos that are actually worth watching or remembering.
Unfortunately, by way of that ‘messiness’, the worth of that content has drowned in a sea of shady tweets and controversial remarks.
Unfortunate, as her negative portrayal in the media have seen her billed as the industry’s ‘black sheep’, even though she has far more to offer than her trend hopping rivals- all of whom are yet to enjoy a cut as celebrated as ‘212′ or spawn videos half as impressive as ‘Liquorice‘.

Elton John Weighs In On Miley Cyrus And Lady GaGa: ‘I See A Meltdown Waiting To Happen’ With a career that now spans well over forty years, Elton John has seen more than his fair share of celebrity tragedies- witnessing the rise and unfortunate falls of acts he not only inspired but called contemporaries.
So, comments he made regarding Pop firework Miley Cyrus may give she and her fans serious cause for concern this week, revealing- during an interview with The Australian- that he foresees a meltdown in her future.
His words of warning below…
He shared:
“I look at Miley Cyrus and I see a meltdown waiting to happen. And she’s so young! But she’s got two records in the top 20, so who is going to stop her? Maybe it’s a British thing, but I can spot a car crash before it happens. I was in my dressing room in Las Vegas when they announced that Michael Jackson was playing 50 dates at the O2. I turned to my agent and said: ‘He won’t do a single one of those.’ I could tell you he was going to die. He’d been doing drugs for so long, he’d been a mess for so long – and I’ve known Michael since he was 12 or 13 – that it was never going to happen. Everyone was saying it was going to be great and I was saying: ‘Hello? Are you looking at the real thing here?’
Then, when quizzed on ‘Brown Eyes’ entertainer Lady GaGa, he admitted:
“With Gaga – who I love, she’s the godmother to our children – I’d like to be able to talk to her right now, but I can’t get through to her. And there are times when you have to listen. When your persona begins to take over your music and becomes more important, you enter a dangerous place. Once you have people around you who don’t question you, you’re in a dangerous place. When you get famous you get complacent. You stop listening to new things. But my album’s sound reflects the fact that all the things I love at the moment are stripped down. Lorde had a big US hit with a song called Royal. It’s just her voice and a drum machine, and it’s beautiful in its simplicity. It’s the kind of direction Gaga should be going in.”

‘A Dame To Kill For’: Lady GaGa To Star In ‘Sin City’ Sequel
Eight years have passed since the release of Frank Miller‘s ‘Sin City’ flick, soaring to the Box Office heavens with $158,753,820.
Next year, much to the delight of long time supporters of the movie, the story will return via a sequel directed by Miller, ‘Machete Kills’ mastermind Robert Rodriguez and starring Jessica Alba.
Oh….and Lady GaGa.
Titled ’Sin City: A Dame To Kill For’, the movie will pull from the second book in the ‘City’ series, calling on Alba to reprise her role as Nancy Callahan and ‘Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)’ performer Lady GaGa to play a character whose name is yet to be unveiled by its producers.
Due out on August 22nd 2014, the flick will also see GaGa star alongside ‘Waiting To Exhale’s Dennis Haysbert- who will take on the role of Manute, originally portrayed by the now deceased Michael Clarke Duncan.
This, one year after the November 11th release date set for her new studio album ‘ARTPOP’, recorded while she reportedly shot scenes for ‘Dame‘, which had originally eyed an October 4th 2013 launch date, which would have gone a long way to intensify the momentum currently sounding ‘POP’ and its lead single ‘Applause‘.
Bring on 2014!!

Lady Gaga Denies Rihanna Collabo Rumors / Readies Two Versions of ‘ArtPop’?Just one day separates pop diva Lady Gaga from the final version of her highly anticipated new album ‘Artpop’, due in stores November 11th.
Led by the thunderous single ‘Applause’, the song’s performance on charts already has fans quizzing the Mother Monster on its follow-up as well as the list of guest stars to be expected on the album. One name that has plagued the rumor mill is that of ‘What Now’ wailer Rihanna.
The Barbadian beauty sent the mill into overdrive after taking to Twitter to announce:But, if a recent radio interview with the ‘Poker Face’ performer is anything to go by, fans shouldn’t be expecting to hear the pop titans collab anytime soon:
www.kiisfm.com/media/play/lady-gaga-talks-to-fans-23759588/
Conversation highlights:
1:52 – Two versions of ‘Artpop’
4:00 – On being inspired by singer Selena (Quintanilla)
5:00 – Next single?
5:48 – Rihanna on ‘ARTPOP’?
*****
It’s all in the phrasing of the question. Gaga may have denied Rihanna’s guest appearance on ‘Artpop’, but she never denied her appearance on Ri’s forthcoming effort (or any collab in general).
Time will tell.

Lady GaGa’s ‘Applause’ Certified Platinum
Before her new studio album ‘ARTPOP’ hits shelves on November 11th, Lady GaGa has welcomed the success of its lead single ‘Applause’this week!
Find out why below…
Marking her 11th single to do so since her 2008 debut, ‘Applause‘ has now topped the 1 million US units sold mark- now sitting pretty with sales of 1,098,000 in the competitive market.
Set to surpass the 1,100,000 unit milestone by the end of this week, the single’s meteoric rise to Platinum glory sees her do so without the benefit of reaching the US #1 hot spot, and comes as its global sales now speed towards sales of 2 million units less than two months after its August 12th release!
