Is it Over for Lady Gaga?

By Bill O'Reilly for BillOReilly.com

A few months ago in this space, I wrote a column about the cultural phenom Lady Gaga that ended with me politely telling her to save her money. That's because the treacherous world of popular culture is not usually a long-term proposition. Entertainment idols often pass through the fame obstacle course very quickly.

In showbiz, there is the term "jumping the shark" that is used to describe a project in decline. It is derived from the hit sit-com "Happy Days" which, sorely lacking for material after years on the air, featured a show wherein The Fonz went waterskiing in a leather jacket and encountered a shark. You guessed it: the Fonz jumped over the shark on the skis. After that, the days were not so happy on that program.
Now we have Lady Gaga, the ultimate edgy, anti-establishment pop star, swimming in dubious waters. Recently, she fronted a Thanksgiving special. The New York Times described it this way: "Lady Gaga performs before family and friends and offers a glimpse of her personal life in an interview with Katie Couric...

"She also whips up a feast of deep-fried turkey and waffles with the chef Art Smith."

Somewhere Janis Joplin is weeping. By the way, Gaga's special was trounced in the ratings by the 237th airing of the "Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special."

And that's not all. The Associated Press reports that "Gaga's Workshop" is now open at the Barney's clothing store in Manhattan. Apparently, Gaga designed a special holiday shop featuring "a gigantic cartoon statue of the superstar herself in a pinup pose surrounded by jagged mirrors and sitting atop thousands of back plastic discs."

Forget the Rockefeller Center tree—the Gaga shop represents the true holiday spirit, does it not?

Now, some of you may think I am making this up, but it's all true. What I can't figure out is why Gaga's (Stefani Germanotta) management team seems to know nothing about history. The biggest pop icon ever, Elvis Presley, sabotaged his own career by starring in a series of movies like "Kissin' Cousins" and "Clambake." I mean, there was the once culturally dangerous Elvis, doing a dance called the "Clam" on a beach wearing black shoes and white pants. It took the King years to get back on track after those dopey flicks.

Last year, Gaga (Stefani) made $90 million from her songs and shows. Does she really need the Thanksgiving special? Or the Barney's exposure? Really?

The answer is "of course not." Gaga has now gone middle class mainstream, and at this rate, she will be co-hosting with Kelly Ripa any day now. The Lady may be trying not be a tramp, but she certainly has met the shark. And jumped it.
                                                                                                                                                                      

Now, I'm not a fan of Bill O'Reilly nor am I a fan of his politics or that horrible news station he works for, Fox News.  However, his view on Stefani is something I can agree with.

                                
       
                       

It's Confirmed

       
  
                        
              








And that's all I'm going to say.  Oh, and thank you to Royal Lioness for the GIF.

Gaga Better Stock Up On That Cocaine!

She's gonna need all the energy she can get.  The word around the rumor mill is that Stefani's planning a 450 date, 2 year world tour when she kicks of the Born This Way Ball in Asia next year. 

She's trying to beat U2's 360 tour's record for the highest-grossing and most-attended tour of all time.  See, U2, didn't have to over exert themselves and uh, over expose themselves and they didn't have to set their sights to make sure it happened.  It just did, naturally.  While they did tour from 30 June 2009 to 30 July 2011, they only played 110 shows and the only reason why the tour went on for that long was because Bono injured himself during rehearsals for the North American leg, suffering from sciatica, a ligament tear, a herniated disc, and partial paralysis of his lower leg which required emergency surgery in Munich.   The North American leg was postponed until 2011.

This broad Gaga cannot fathom the thought of being out of the media for 5 minutes.  Is she that insecure that people will forget about her if she takes a breather?  Actually, the opposite is happening.  She refuses to disappear for a bit, thus shoves herself down the public's throat on a daily basis so now the public is getting sick of her.  It's like chocolate.  You love chocolate so you eat it. You eat it everyday for two years straight.  What happens?  You get fat and sick.   

Her management should be concerned.  Do they really want their only money maker to burn out?  Think about it.  450 dates within 2 years!  That's insane.  Her smoking is already starting to make her voice sound raspy.  Plus the expense to put on this tour.  She's nuts and not in a good way.  No worries though.  I'm sure Madonna will effortlessly stomp on her little dream when she tours next year as well.

Lady Gaga: The World's Biggest Spoiled Brat

Stefani released her Marry The Night music video last night on E; a video she directed on her own and is claimed to be autobiographical, depicting what Stefani describes as "The Worst Day of My Life".  Prior to releasing the video in it's entirety, Stefani treated her monsters to a teaser called The Prelude Pathetiqué.  



The teaser showed Stefani being wheeled through a hospital corridor on a gurney, clearly disheveled and in really bad shape.   Suddenly, everything became abuzz in the little monster family and in the media about what could've possibly happened to her. Was she raped?  Did she have an abortion? Did she abort her rapist's child?  Some even thought that Stefani did in fact have a sex change and this was her grand coming out. Maybe she was beat up? 

Whatever it was, it seemed pretty bad.  Little Monsters everywhere were on the edge of their seat waiting...wondering....analyzing.....chewing their nails asking "My GOD!! What happened to our Mommy Monster!!!!!"




 






Then, the full video arrived. Cut to the scene, Stefani is on the phone and she says "But I'm an artisté". When she hangs up the phone, all hell breaks loose.  Stefani hits rock bottom and her clothes magically disappear. She is crying, screaming, pulling her hair out, dumping cheerios into her mouth and over her naked flesh.   She is loosing it and loosing it fast.

She even straddles a bath tub naked wearing high heels, as you do when you are in a serious depression. 













Then, the pieces slowly start coming together about what exactly is going on in this video. We see Stefani sitting naked in the bath tub bleaching her hair.




Thus begins the transformation from Stefani Germanotta to Lady Gaga!  Except Stefani left out the part where she is at Rob Fusari's home studio in New Jersey where he convinces her to drop the "Norah Jones" act and to do Euro/Pop/Dance music because that's what will sell.

While we witness the over dramatic, self indulgent, self righteous mess before our eyes, we find out that the worst day of Stefani's life is when Def Jam Records dropped her.  Yes folks, she is about to commit suicide because her label dropped her.  Not rape, not an abortion, not anything so tragic for her to be on the edge of glory about.


She's 25 years old, was famous at 22.  It's pathetic that she feels she has to torture us with her pseudo intellect and her pseudo philosophical blabber.  Give me a break, seriously.  Spoiled little daddy's girl grew up in mansion on the Upper East Side, went to a private all girls school with the Hilton sisters.  Daddy paid for her rent when she moved into her own flat on the Lower East Side.  She attended Tisch School of the Arts where she studied Musical Theatre but dropped out to focus on her music career.   I don't think she ever studied dance so I don't know where this Flashdance moment is coming from.  Coincidentally, Marry The Night sounds like Flashdance - What A Feeling by Irene Cara.



So you did some coke. Big deal, a lot of people have.  Stop pretending like you grew up in Compton and had such a rough time. 

"I'm gonna be a star. You know why?  Because I have nothing left to lose".  

Oh shut it.  That's the reason for your depression?  Because for a brief moment you thought you would never be famous??!!  Cry when you have some real problems Princess.   Imagine if I went crying to my family saying "I'm never gonna be famous! Wah Wah Wah!.  They'd hit me over the head with a frying pan for being so ridiculous.

Wanna know who really was raped and was dragged into a back alley in NYC after dance rehearsal by a couple of men and forced to perform fellatio at knife point on each of them?  Madonna.

I didn't design the T-shirts.  Just provided the links; but you're welcome to contact the real designer by clicking the links to express your dissatisfaction.  I'm sure they will care. Nice aren't they!!  Stupid little monster.

Gaga with Sugarland Signing You and I

                                                                                                       

This performance is one big heaping mess of cow dung.  What we've got here is Stefani doing her best "Marilyn Monroe got her ass kicked" impression, being completely out sung by Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland and Stefani doing her earnest best to not be upstaged on her own song.  So cute.  Toward the end, it just gets plain ridiculous as both of them start to sound like two roosters in a cock fight.
