Gaga Pays "Homage" Once Again - Ripping Off Concept of Madonna Sex Book

She just doesn't know when to quit.  Stefani just finished reading page 22 of the Madonna Playbook and she is now collaborating with photographer Terry Richardson.  Grand Central Publishing just announced that they will be putting out a photo book of Stefani and her everyday life.  Apparently nothing will be off limits.  Not that it's ever stopped her before.

The book will contain of 350 black and white and color images to be shot over the next 10 months.  The book is scheduled to be released November 22nd, just in time for the holiday season.

Sound familiar?  Back in 1992, October 21, Madonna released her controversial "SEX" coffee table book to accompany her album "Erotica".  The release date was to coincide with the Christmas season.

Madonna's book contains a series of black & white and color photographs that are very sexual in nature and soft core pornographic.  While Stefani's book won't use sex as it's main theme, the concept is the same.

While there is nothing wrong with releasing a book like this but when you add this to the long list of other things she's copied from Madonna and other artists, you can't help but be suspicious.  Only little monsters will think it's earth moving and so brilliant. 

When is Stefani going to be held accountable for her actions?  When is she going to fully absorb that she is constantly being accused of ripping off this or that artist?  But please, go ahead Stefani.  All that you're doing is further alienating people from you.  That will just make you go away faster.

Oh, and allow me to point out that Madonna released her book 10 years after hitting the scene.  Stefani is trying to condense all that Madonna has done into 3-4 years.  Burn out baby, burn out.
