Lady Gaga is one of the only six musicians on Billboard’s 2012 Power 100 List

Gaga lands at #84 on the Billboard‘s 2012 Power 100 List, being one of the only six musicians on the list, including Beyoncé, Jay-z, U2, Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift.

 Without Gaga’s Little Monsters, there would be no Beliebers for Justin Bieber or Barbs for Nicki Minaj. That sort of influence with fans has been entirely transformed through Gaga’s branding deals.
    She’s a singing, dancing, performing and producing visionary that’s reviving the pulse of dance music on the radio. She’s also a star who takes a stand and uses her notoriety for good.

Interscope: "no more singles are planned"

Gary, a Billboard‘s editor, took some time to answer the questions that fans submitted to the magazine. A Lady Gaga fan emailed him and said that Scheiße should be Lady Gaga’s next single. He replied saying:

“Sheibe” does have a hooky chorus. Personally, I’d still prefer “Hair” as a pop radio single were another to be released from “Born This Way.” An Interscope executive confirmed to Billboard this week that he is not aware of any current plans for another single from the album.

Billboard Suggest Hair as The Next Single

The song already peaked at No. 12 in its only week on the Hot 100 last June as a preview digital track from the album but has not made its way to the radio-listening masses. Co-written by Gaga and RedOne, the song, which has sold 174,000 downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and whose audio video on the official LadyGagaVEVO channel stands at 11 million views, just sounds like a smash, doesn't it? The pair also co-wrote the set's second single, "Judas."

Billboard's Best/Worst Dressed of 2011

Gaga has been chosen the best dressed of 2011 undoubtedly Gaga, is finishing the year well

This Said Billboard: 

Capturing another dimension of fashion, Gaga continued her majestic sartorial journey throughout 2011, even landing on the cover of Vogue. Shocking and just a tad risque, Gaga's style evolved to a more alien panache that began with her brilliant rebirth via a Hussein Chalayan designed womb at the Grammys. Her fearless style has landed her on our charts as one of the best dressed of the year. She was, after all, born this way.

Lady Gaga Look-A-Likes Pop Up in "Batman" Comic

Batman Incorporated: Leviathan Strikes!” has some guest-stars from the pop charts.

As Stephanie Brown, Batgirl herself, sets out on an undercover mission at all-girls spy school St. Hadrian’s, her instructors bear striking resemblances to a trio of pop favorites: Katy Perry, Rihanna and a gun-toting Lady Gaga, who blasts a photo of Superman.

And the bespectacled headmistress? Looks like a certain Material Girl. The one-shot issue, which wraps up writer Grant Morrison’s “Batman Incorporated” storyline, is out now.

It isn’t the first time one of pop’s leading ladies has appeared in the funny pages: Gaga made an official appearance in the cartoon world in Bluewater Production’s “Fame: Lady Gaga” comic book in 2010. With Perry’s Hollywood career heating up and Rihanna set for a role in next year’s “Battleship,” perhaps a big-screen “Batman” cameo could be next. There’s still time, Chris Nolan.

Lady Gaga Named AP's Entertainer of the Year

You might say that Lady Gaga's year really began in an egg.
That's how she arrived at the Grammys in February, encased in a large, translucent pod carried by scantily clad dancers. When she "hatched" onstage, she effectively gave birth to "Born This Way," performing the eponymous lead single of her second studio album and anthem to self-acceptance. In 2011, the album would carry her around the world, where she rarely went unnoticed.
After a year of extravagant globe-trotting and relentless advocacy of tolerance, Lady Gaga has been voted Entertainer of the Year by members of The Associated Press.
There were 135 ballots submitted by U.S. news organizations that make up the AP's membership. Editors and broadcasters were asked to cast their ballots for who had the most influence on entertainment and culture in 2011.

"I am humbled and honored to be named 'Entertainer of The Year' by The Associated Press," Lady Gaga said in a statement Monday signed "Mother Monster."

"My deepest gratitude to the broadcasters and journalists who've supported me over the years, and in turn, are now supporting the loves of my life: my fans. Thank you for believing in 'Born This Way.' May you continue to brave the dreams of Showbiz."

Lady Gaga narrowly edged out the late Apple founder Steve Jobs by three votes. Many others received numerous votes, including Taylor Swift, Charlie Sheen, Adele and the cast of "Harry Potter." Previous winners of the AP Entertainer of the Year include Betty White, Swift, Tina Fey and Stephen Colbert.

But it was Lady Gaga whose eminence in 2011 stood out most to voters. While accepting the best pop vocal album Grammy for her previous disc, "The Fame Monster," earlier this year, she said stardom was an adjustment for her.

 "When I wrote 'Born This Way,' I imagined (Whitney Houston) was singing it because I wasn't secure enough in myself to imagine I was a superstar," she said.

When the album was released in May, 1.1 million copies sold in the first week, partly aided by a dramatic discount from Amazon, which sold it for 99 cents. But it was an industry-shattering moment because an extraordinary 60 percent of sales in the first week were digital downloads. Altogether, it outsold the next 42 albums on the Billboard chart combined. As of October, worldwide sales had surpassed 8 million copies.

"One of my greatest artworks is the art of fame," the 25-year-old told "60 Minutes" earlier this year. "I'm a master of the art of fame."

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, is prepping for a "Born This Way" tour. Her "Monster Ball Tour" was still going strong earlier this year, which went a long way toward making her, according to Forbes, the highest grossing female musician in 2011. The magazine, which compiled pretax income earned from May 2010 to May 2011, said Lady Gaga earned $90 million.
Paul Pronovost, editor of the Cape Cod Times, called Lady Gaga's "A Very Gaga Thanksgiving" - a bizarre ABC holiday special hosted by the singer - "a brilliant reach to mainstream America."

"Transcendent performers like Lady Gaga come around as often as Halley's Comet," says Pronovost. "She has that rare gift of sophisticated self-promotion, so outlandish at times you just can't look away" and the talent to back it up. "This is Madonna 4.0."

The concerts spawned an HBO special, which was nominated for five Emmys Awards and won one. Lady Gaga was a regular presence at award shows throughout the year. She won three Grammys in February, including best female pop vocal performance. She won two MTV Video Music Awards. She was recently nominated for three Grammys for next year's awards, including best album. This summer, her infamous meat dress - made of layers of Argentinian beef - was put on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

She visited the White House and appeared as the musical guest on "Saturday Night Live." She performed at former President Bill Clinton's 65th-birthday bash with an ode to Marilyn Monroe. She remained the person most followed on Twitter, with more than 17 million Little Monsters - or more people who live in Greece and Ireland combined. And for the mark of true fame, she was parodied by Weird Al Yankovic, who turned "Born This Way" into "Perform This Way."

She collaborated with a number of music legends, including Elton John ("Hello, Hello" for "Gnomeo & Juliet"), Tony Bennett ("The Lady Is a Tramp") and Cher ("The Greatest Thing"). She continually released ambitious videos, most recently the 13-minute epic "Marry the Night." It had 5 million views in less than 48 hours.

"She gets people talking," says Greg Retsinas, digital director of the Press Democrat of Santa Rosa, Calif. "She's a polarizing figure not just in music and fashion but in pop culture and society. In a recent week, I heard her referenced personally by my 9-year-old daughter, a prominent local CFO and an airline pilot, all glowingly."

With the help of the MacArthur Foundation and Harvard University, Lady Gaga also founded the Born This Way Foundation, a nonprofit focusing on youth empowerment and "issues like self-confidence, well-being, anti-bullying, mentoring and career development." She has spoken frequently about such issues. At EuroPride, a gay pride concert in Rome in June, she said, "We beckon for compassion, understanding and above all we want full equality now."

"I am a child of diversity," she said. "I am one with my generation."

Lady Gaga will be ringing in the New Year with typical showmanship. She'll be the featured guest on Dick Clark's annual "New Year's Rockin' Eve" special from New York City's Times Square. Meanwhile, Christmas shoppers can walk through the holiday display she designed at Barney's in New York: 5,500 square feet of bright colors, crazy shapes and a gigantic cartoon statue of the superstar herself.

Darren Criss admits to being a fan of Lady Gaga

In a new interview with Billboard, the actor who plays Blaine on Glee talks about having an encounter with Lady Gaga recently and what it was like to be in the superstar’s presence!

“Myself, Amy Adams and Rashida (Jones), a bunch of us were sitting like 12-year-old girls, because we knew Stefani Germanotta, Lady Gaga, was going to walk in,” Criss told Billboard.com at the ‘A Night of Firsts’ Miss Golden Globe announcement party in Hollywood Thursday night. “We all just kind of casually played it off like we weren’t waiting, but then we all said to each other, ‘we’re all waiting because Lady Gaga is coming in here, right?’”

Criss didn’t actually get to speak with Mother Monster, but that didn’t put a damper on his evening.

“We just kind of gawked in silent wonderment,” he laughed. “She came in with her stilts and her crew of many, and we all had a really lovely moment together. It was like watching an eclipse.”

Lady Gaga chosen as the second singer who most fear cause (by Billboard)

About the next Halloween, Billboard launched a new survey, a few weeks ago: "The Scariest Musicians Ever"

The public voted for the king and Queen are definitely Marilyn Manson and Lady Gaga, who occupy the first and second on the list.

Mother Monster, Billboard says: The queen of bizarre-pop's Little Monsters. She opened a wound onstage at the 2009 MTV VMAs and "bled" on her piano, and just this year she was literally hatched ( from an egg at the Grammys) as an alien, complete with spiny facial and body prosthetics. Why? She was "Born This Way," of course.

But such extravagance of Lady Gaga, but won 35 percent of the vote, was not enough to dethrone the most bizarre and terrible history: Marilyn Manson, whose stage name is inspired by one of the worst murderers in the United States history. The controversial rocker won the most votes.

You can see the full list visiting Billboard.

Together with Lady Gaga and Manson are among others the band Kiss and Alice Cooper.

Does Gaga deserves this title?Tell us in the comments! Of course, we are all totally proud to be your little monsters.
