During Lady Gaga's 90-minute Thanksgiving special, A Very Gaga Thanksgiving, which the singer conceived and directed, she revealed some unexpected news.
Darren Criss may be a star himself, but that doesn't stop him from getting starstruck. At this week's celebrity-filled Trevor Live benefit Criss said one of the coolest parts was "being backstage and rubbing elbows with people," particularly some Little Monster shaped ones.
Lady Gaga's career came full circle for a moment Friday night. The singer headlined Z100's annual Jingle Ball concert at Madison Square Garden, an event that holds special meaning to the New York native. "This was the first live show I ever went to -- whose first live show is this?" Gaga asked the sold-out, tween-heavy crowd. "I used to listen to Elvis Duran every day on the radio and imagine how one day he would be introducing my songs."
In one striking image from the latest issue of Vanity Fair, a very very naked Lady Gaga is shown posing (again, very naked) for singer-artist Tony Bennett. The crooner is seen standing next to his sketch of the scene; now that piece of art is up for auction on the newly launched eBay Celebrity.
Starting Monday (Dec. 12) you can bid for the artwork, signed in the singer's actual last name, Benedetto. The idea -- realized at Bennett's art studio in Manhattan -- was thought up by photographer Annie Leibovitz.
'Tony Bennett Has Seen Me Naked'
"I walked in and said, 'Well Tony, here we are' and I dropped my robe and I got into position," the singer explained during her Thanksgiving TV special. "I felt shy and thought, 'It's Tony Bennett, why am I naked?'"
The two, of course, recorded a duet version of "The Lady Is a Tramp" for Bennett's latest album, "Duets II." Also for sale, several items from Gaga's photo spread in the magazine and a signed copy of another piece of art from Bennett.
All proceeds from the auction will go to Exploring the Arts founded by Bennett and The Born This Way Foundation, founded by Gaga.
