Dearly beloved…
Can we please observe a moment of silence for the slayage that is Lady GaGa‘s new V Magazine cover?!
Unwrapped moments ago, the snap is the second of four cover shots being rolled out for the September 2013 issue of the fashion major (click here to peep the first).
The high-profile feature joins a long list of promotional stops lined for the singer, whose ‘ARTPOP’ album campaign is in full-swing.
New single ‘Applause’ is rocking iTunes the world over; a trend that’ll likely continue when its accompanying video arrives next Monday – the same week Mother Monster offers the first live performance of the track at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. ‘ARTPOP’, the app and album, arrive on November 11th.
Paws up, it’s GaGa season!
THEY SLAY CONTINUES……!!!!!
Applause #1 in 42 countries
ARTPOP #1 in 45 countries
EVERY KNEE WILL BOW & CONFESS GODGA LORD OF POP!
SIPS HENNESSY presses play on “Applause”

SIPS HENNESSY! WHAT I DO?
Delusion at it’s finest. Gaga is the “Lord of Pop” but she can’t even dethrone “Katy Hairy” with all her thirsty antics. Where is Artpop #1? Not in the US. Luke Bryan owns that spot. Your Lord of Pop is always playing second fiddle it appears. Teenage Dream at 2.7 million in the US and 6 million worldwide is more than the Hot 100. Katy writes all of her material and the lyrics aren’t trash. And she’s made the Forbes list for the past three years. Yawn. Madonna and her record breaking MDNA tour aren’t bothered either.
Its cute. Looks like La Roux
More try hard mess, and this is why Rihanna is the top pop chick at the moment. She didn’t do much for Diamonds and stay to chart, she didn’t have to run around naked in the forest to make stay one of the biggest hits of the year, all it took was ONE Grammy performance.
please SIT
GODGA SLAYS RIRI!
ONLY IN THE GAME 5 YEARS!
HAS ACCOMPLISHED MORE THAN YOUR FAV
UNLIKE YOUR FAV GODGA WRITES ALL HER MUSIC!!!!
SHE ISNT A BUBBLE GUM POP MACHINE LIKE
KATY HAIRY

Judging from Applause, T***** Caca NEEDS people to write songs for her. There’s nothing Caca has released that is better than Diamonds, NOTHING.
APPLAUSE APPLAUSE@GAGATHETRUTH LET EM KNOW HUN.
Eat GAGA 1st pic is everthing….
TRUE… the 1st pic is AMAZING!!!
I’m so MAD they didn’t scrap the others. It only shows that the cover is a blatant LIE. ughh I almost believed she was cute.
I live for Grape Juice’s stannage for the Queen. You’re one of the only blogs that’s been loyal to her since the beginning.
No lies were detected but I hate how hard they are on Kim and Rihanna.
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Yes b**** yes. I don’t always like her but this snatches something cruel!
That 1st pic is EVERTHING…….
What is it???
Who is that in your avi? Can we say ELVIRA
http://youtu.be/0MILtDGFKZo
Don’t worry, when the boy on your avi starts talking, we won’t be able to tell if he’s a 10 year old boy or an 11 year old boy with that 5th grade level education.
Say what you Please ….That boy still better than Elvira oops I mean Rihanna. You will deal I know you will.
DO YOU HAVE A LIFE?
@shitbird Are you speaking of this Boy…..SEETHE she will always be better than you FAV.
How Beyoncé Keeps the Internet Obsessed With Her
The singer’s social media presence combines faux intimacy and calculated messages that make events out of her most normal moments.

Beyoncé—every day, she seems more like us. She gets haircuts (last week, she sheared her mane). She rides her bike to work (“work” being her final Barclays Center concert). She spends quality time with her daughter. But when Beyoncé does these things, the Internet erupts with a flurry of blog posts. What’s the meaning of her new haircut, and why do we care? What influence will her cycling jaunt across the Brooklyn Bridge have on New Yorkers? Five photos of family time from her Tumblr even merited their own Business Insider story. Just imagine what would happen if Beyoncé uploaded a photo of herself watching Sharknado.
This kind of attention isn’t unheard of for celebrities, who routinely get their picture taken for no reason and whose Internet activities are endlessly scrutinized. But Beyoncé’s relationship with the media is different. She’s neither the most prolific nor the most-followed on social media, but Beyoncé’s mix of seemingly authentic and personal content with tightly controlled, strategic messages represents a uniquely effective way of building buzz.

What Beyoncé Could Learn From Ke$ha: How to Actually Humanize a Pop Star
——————————————————————————–
As a performer, Beyoncé has made perfection and fierceness her brand, which turns everyday glimpses of her personal life online into mini-events. Fans maintain this status, too, deifying her with nicknames like Beysus and King Bey that expect and encourage flawlessness, not mortality.
As we’ve already learned from her self-directed HBO documentary, which was basically a two-hour selfie, and her GQ cover story, which revealed how she’s videotaped every interview she’s ever done, Bey is selective about her image in a way her peers aren’t. Rihanna posts so much skin on Instagram that when she uploads another semi-n*** shot, it gets written up with little surprise. Justin Bieber’s account is similarly all-access, but it, too, lacks Beyoncé’s discipline and thought-out messaging. Lady Gaga’s social media posts are as selective and calculated as Beyonce’s, but they read like routine stunts. It’s Beyoncé’s combination of careful curation and illusion of intimacy that makes her feeds so enticing.
But for however much she gives the impression of tasteful restraint in dealing with the media, Beyoncé is also unique in how she gins up attention. Artists like Grimes have been vocal about their distaste for having tweets and Tumblr posts repackaged as blog fodder, but not only does Beyoncé not seem to mind, she embraces it. Beyoncé doesn’t just write a hand-written letter to Michelle Obama expressing her admiration; she makes a whole video about it so you know she wrote it, too. Beyoncé doesn’t just post a tour picture on Tumblr; she picks a hysterical shot of a fan with the tag “#my work,” inviting it to become a meme that spreads the word of Beysus.
Where some stars use publicists to chase down rumors and make denials of varying credibility, Beyoncé can just post pictures of her and Jay Z kicking back with a bottle of wine on Tumblr. It’s the TMZ-era version of “show, don’t tell.”She can turn other stars’ good news into her own public relations triumphs with mere taps of an iPhone: There’s no event too personal, too deserving of privacy for her to refrain from hijacking it. When Frank Ocean published a coming-out letter of sorts last summer, Beyoncé’s response—a handwritten poem she posted to Tumblr—led the wave of “Stars Support Frank Ocean” round-ups. When her friends Kanye West and Kim Kardashian welcomed baby girl North West in June, Beyoncé made similar headlines after firing up Photoshop to design a congratulatory black-and-white image stamped with her signature font. And her encouraging letter to Destiny’s Child bandmate Michelle Williams complimenting her time on Broadway probably got just as much attention as Williams’s actual Broadway stint did.
These powers come in handy when Beyoncé needs to perform damage control. After rumors of a second pregnancy took off this past spring, she fired back with an Instagram that read, “I can’t stop the rumors from starting, and I can’t really change peoples minds who believe them, all I can do is sit back and laugh at these low life people who have nothing better to do than talk about me.” The post has since be deleted—it disappeared like the rumors themselves—but it’s notable, and not just because Beyoncé clearly does put effort into getting people to talk about her. Publishing the message to her own account gives it authority: It’s straight from the source, end of story. Where some stars use publicists to chase down rumors and make denials of varying credibility, Beyoncé can just post pictures of her and Jay Z kicking back with a bottle of wine on Tumblr. It’s the TMZ-era version of “show, don’t tell.”
This year, Beyoncé saw the limits of just how much she can micromanage her own news cycle. She’s lost control over the narrative of her upcoming album despite the elaborate promotional campaign she lined up in the early months of 2013: The GQ story hyped her A-list collaborators, her Super Bowl halftime performance was near-flawless, tickets for her Mrs. Carter tour were wildly in demand, and then… nothing. A Pepsi commercial teased supposed first single “Grown Woman,” but it never arrived in full outside of an unfinished leak. Another commercial, from H&M, debuted part of “Standing in the Sun,” but it, too, never saw an official release. During the subsequent months of radio silence, members of her loyal BeyHive started to turn, getting nasty on Twitter when Beyoncé dared to promote Kelly Rowland’s album instead of delivering news of her own. The latest word is she’s scrapped close to 50 songs to start the album over from scratch, and a representative of the singer told The Hollywood Reporter “there was never an album release date” at all.
Perhaps the takeaway here is the same one Beyoncé learned from her National Anthem lip-syncing incident and her failed crackdown on BuzzFeed’s “unflattering” photos: The more you try to control your moment, the easier it can backfire. The more spotless your record is, the easier dirt shows.
But Beyoncé’s real lesson is that she doesn’t need a nameless rep to do her spin work. To get fans back on her side, all she needs to do is strike a pose and snap a selfie. Scribble something down on a napkin, slap on an Instagram filter, and let the Internet do the rest.
SAM BAN THIS W**** RICHIE_RICH, THE H** IS ANNOYING WHITH HER LONG ESSAYS THAT MAKE NO SENSE. OLDONCE LOOKS LIKE A MAN WITH THAT TRASHY HAIRCUT.

@Birdshit The b**** you stan for is the spitting image of a malnourished ethiopian prepubescent boy though.
I like her new nose.
This is her 3rd nose, you still counting or what ?
I only heard about this site last week but I think I’m in love.
So far what have we heard from the other pop girls? Va va voom – Nicki Minaj, Roar – Katy Perry, Applause – T***** Caca, Grown Woman – Beyonce, Crazy Kids – Ke$ha, come and get it – Selena Gomez, We can’t stop – Mikey Cyrus…..all generic.
Diamonds and Stay slay ALL THOSE SONGS. Rihanna is seated pretty knowing she has the most solid releases thus far, that reign.
Diamonds was lyrically meaningless unlike Roar and she didn’t write a single lyric
Are you kidding me, I like Katy Perry, I really do but Roar CANNOT touch Diamonds.
I like you boo but lets put the stan cards down for a second. Roar’s lyrics maybe a cliche but they are meaningful and inspirational nonetheless. Diamonds has no real lyrical meaning, its not inspiring or moving. None of Rihanna’s singles are. Who can honestly say that a Rihanna song they heard on the radio inspired them or moved them?
H** HUSH!!!!!! TITTY GIMMICK PEERY DOESN’T HAVE MEANINGFUL SONGS, ALL OF THEM ARE GENERIC BUBBLEGUM TRASH. STAY, UNFAITHFUL, RUSSIAN ROULETTE HAVE MORE SOUL THAN ANYTHING TITTY HAS DONE. DON’T FORGET ABOUT KATY HUDSON AND IT’S 100 COPIES SOLD. THE H** HAD TO LEAVE GOSPEL MUSIC SO THAT SHE CAN SUCCEED. SHAME.
Really. Stop repeating yourself on every post. Diamonds is hardly a masterpiece. Its so basic with that annoying shine bright like a Diamond part makes me switch off. Rise Up was much better.
Compared to what the other pop girls are releasing, Diamonds is LEGENDARY.
And Rise Up is better than Diamonds imo both lyrically (Sias better work) and vocally. Its a shame she didnt make more of it.
H** HUSH!!!!! RISE UP IS PURE TRASH AND NO ONE EVEN KNOWS ABOUT IT. DIAMONDS IS BETTER MILLION TIMES THAN THAT CHILDISH GENERIC TRASH MESS. DEAL.
Not you talking about childish and generic when the main lyrics in Diamonds are ‘shine bright like a Diamond’ Rise Up is inspirational and has a nice message. Considering Rise Up was for kids movie it sounds more mature than Diamonds.
KEEP TRYING H**. DIAMONDS IS AN UPLIFTING SONG WITH NICE MESSAGE, IT MAKES YOU FEEL SPECIAL. YOU ARE TOO RETARDED TO UNDERSTAND ITS MEANING. NO WONDER BECAUSE BEYONCE FANS ARE SAID TO BE THE DUMBEST PEOPLE. 😉
Lol speak for yourself. Makes you feel special? You must have very low self esteem then. The fact you called Rise Up childish when its much deeper than Diamonds shows you’re the only one with a lack of understanding.
KEEP TRYING W****. DIAMONDS WILL BE A CLASSIC IN THE FUTURE WHILE RISE UP WILL BE FORGOTTEN (IT ACTUALLY NEVER HAPPENED AND IT WON’T). WHEN YOU HOLD ME, I’M ALIVE SLAYS GENERIC CHILDISH CRAP CALLED RISE UP. NOW F*** OFF AND GO LISTENING TO OLDONCE’S GHETTO TRASH MUSIC.
But the topic is not about which is more classic though. Obviously Rise Up was not even released as a single so its intention was not for it to be a Beyonce classic. Stay arguing irrelevant arguments because you cant stay on topic. The struggle.
Don’t discredit Sia like that. She wrote Diamonds and the melody is pretty.
Grown Woman is not generic.
OMG. SHE HAD A NOSE JOB.
The music video isn’t even out yet and I’m already tired of this b****…
I really like it. PURE ART. It’s not trash and ghetto like rihanna. i’ve been loving her n*** pics lately.i love how she represents ART and CULTURE; she definetly knows what she’s doing, what her new era is about, unlike rihanna who is mostly over the place.
I didn’t listen to the album yet but im already getting the ART POP thing.
Good Job HausofGaga
@Jada i couldn’t agree more. Gaga naked = Chic; Rihanna naked= 3rd world w**** who has no manners !!
And i also like the fact with every album she’s always representing something, all the songs seem to be related to a same message/purpose.i don’t know abt artpop yet bt that was the case with TF/TFM and BTW
T***** GAYGAY HAS CLASS? SINCE WHEN? SERVING RATS ION YOUR RESTAURANT, F****** WITH GUYS FROM YOU BAND, SEING A DRUGGIE, SHOWING NAKED P**** AND B****** NON STOP IS CLASS? GIRL BYE. ALL OF HER ALBUMS ARE FULL OF GENERIC DANCE CRAP WITHOUT ANY MEANING AND THEY ARE FAR FROM MASTERPIECES. SHE IS A CLOWN.
Shade and I love it ……
Awww, I love TGJ.
Gaga is rocking that Amen Fashion !!!!
She looks good on the first one.
I’m confused y’all. Wasn’t everyone on TGJ saying that Gaga would dominate Katy on last week? Wasn’t everyone saying that Gaga had more hype? That the general public wasn’t checking for Katy and she was no competition? Some of you even said Roar would flop. If I remember correctly, Rosie said Roar would play out like Jason Derulo’s single did. Lmaooo!! What happened to that? Katy is still #1 and Gaga is trying so desperately to beat her. Tweeting fans, going completely n***, releasing an audio video, lyric video, and a music video. Its pathetic and embarrassing now. Katy is still dominating her on iTunes and radio and all she did was send out some tweets, post a lyric video like she always does and drove a semi truck around. Gaga is even telling fans to stream Applause and that it counts on Billboard smh.
#1 PRE ORDERED ALBUM IN 52 COUNTRIES
#1 SINGLE IN 40+ COUNTRIES
We’re HERE FOR THAT.
I JUST PREORDERED ARTPOP HERE IN UK TOO
Rosie is hater. Y would u listen to her? I knew Katy wouldn’t flop.but I think most ppl said the song would sound generic, which it is, and not have staying power to be number 1. As for applause, it’s not gaga’s greatest effort but she will put on a hell of a show with it. And hopefully she will have better songs. I liked Burqa better. Applause’s hype will die but gaga’s won’t. She will have a better single and album.
TITTY GIMMICK PERRY IS TRASH AND HER MUSIC SUCKS. THE H** HAD TO LEAVE GOSPEL MUSIC BECAUSE SHE WAS A HUGE FLOP (100 COPIES) AND MAKE GENERIC TRASH MUSIC FOR KIDS TO BE NOTICED. SHE’S DISGRACE. THE H** CANNOT SING TO SAVE HER LIFE AND ALL OF HER #1S ARE FORGETTABLE. PLUS SHE IS LOCAL, CACA SLAYS HER ASS EVERYWHERE OUTSIDE OF ANGLOPHONE COUNTRIES.
Keep my name out of your mouth, filthy w****.
You stay bothered by my presence, even when I’m not even online.
All this stuff lady gaga is doing is for ATTENION. Just look back a few months ago, lady gaga was nowhere to be found in the media until now. WOW! What was she doing all that time she was away? Probably in the studio, maybe, sleeping in all day, could have been, or maybe she was thinking of a master plan to make her self relevant again. BINGO! I got it, lady gaga was taking her good old time for all of this nakedness she been showing us LATLEY.
This girl was on some devil type stuff when she was in the woods naked doing some yoga type s*** in the grass. Gaga is going nuts latley she don’t know what to do with her self. So you telling me you have to strip down to nothing at all, to get the ATTENION you want gaga? I can’t believe this girl. She just needs to go give Madonna back her style and call it a day! It’s not working out for her at all.
And now she trying to get in Katy perry face,For what gaga you feel threating by miss Katy perry? Huh, I can’t hear you, speak up. Oh, yeah, your to busy getting naked in the woods & magazine covers.
I JUST GAVE THIS GIRL GAGA THE TRUE TEA. I HOPE YA WELCOME ME TO THIS SITE WITH ALL YOUR LOVE, RESPECT, KINDNESS.
READ MY NAME! YOU KNOW WHO I BE.
Lol. U think Gaga is gonna sit back on her era with a new album and not promote? Lol. U must not know Gaga.
Yesssss… Gaga ate on these pictures. She looks really nice.
Yo why y’all being so negative over here ? X will slay Y, Y will end your fave’s career and blah blah blah… Jeez some of ya guys should grow up and get a life.
They all have good music that we all listen to, Gaga, Katy, Bey, Rihanna etc etc…
Just chill out, smoke some weed and make love, not war 😉
Peace.
Because they r nobodies who will never reach these ppl’s levels of talent or accomplishment. So it makes them feel better. Oh yeah and the majority here are 13 year olds pretending to act older….
Guess u’re right pal… Though I wish I had those days back where stan wars and the fact that my Nutella pot is empty were my only problems lol
Anyways, cute pics and respect to both artists ! 🙂

*blasts ROAR*
UGLY H** WHO SCREWS HER BAND, SERVES RATS IN HER RESTAURANT, MAKES GENERIC DANCE CRAP WITH CHILDISH LYRICS AND RETARDING HOOKS, RIPFS OFF HITS FROM OLDONNA AND TRIES TO MAKE TI LOOK AS ART. THE H** IS A CLOWN WHO NEEDS TO GET NAKED OR WEAR BASIC AND WEIRD COSTUMES TO BE NOTICED. THIS H** IS DISGRACE!!!!!!
Paying tribute to Queen Britney and La Roux I see. Originality would probably kill this reductive b****.
*plays ROAR*
H** S****** IS A ROBOT WHO COULD NEVER SING. SHE WILL FLOP HARD, JUST WATCH 😉
How do u know some dont have the same photographers and makeup artists? Everything is recycled including britney’s wannabe janet jackson dance moves since the early 2000’s. The more u learn that the better off you will be.
Sorry but nothing of flopney is original.
H** S****** SUCKS, BUT SHE HAS OUTSOLD TRANET’S OLD ASS, SO CALLED LEGEND. OLDONA SUCKS TOO, THE H** CAN’T SING TO SAVE HER LIFE AND SHE IS THE BIGGEST THIEF IN MUSIC INDUSTRY. S******, TRANET, HAGDONNA – ALL THREE GIMMICKS. 😉
LOLOLOL!! Love me some Madonna and Janet so I won’t go down that path 😉
@T***** CACA SUCKS
Funny you call Janet old, yet she looks younger, and still dance better than Brit, who is almost 20 years younger then her. Janet can STILL out perform 98% of the girls today.
Hmmm that first cover is one of the best photos I’ve seen of Gaga in a long time!
… All the other photos, not so much!
LOLz
Liking her androgyny on the first cover with a dash of feminism.
How much photoshop did take to turn the horse into a “human”??? Ugly creature.
Yawn. Of course her fans are calling this “art.”
Tired of both Katy and Gaga, top 40 was just starting to really get diverse but these two + Britney and every other generic female had to ruin it. But this is all internet f*** look forward to in life, generic singles, outlandish promo, and their faves looking like r***** versions of Bratz dolls, calling them “flawless.”
Let me go listen to my alternative music.
I’m here for both gaga and katy……
those pictures are fire…..
applause is still a better song…
this back and forth b******* about charts, hit singles are all b*******
having a hit single, doesnt mean your single is the best…
all this she’s a flop b******* are for the birds…if the album is a great , i don’t give two f**** if it sold 5 copies.
Anyways she looks very dirty to me, something about her face is dry old skin,sunken face is giving me a Patti Smith tease.
She has always been fugly, but when she gained weight while touring people started calling her fat and ugly so it got to her which is why she’s back on the drugs again. It’s not only making her act desperate but ageing her….looking like Donatella Versace/ patti Smith.
I just spilled my protein shake all over myself @ your name,,,,,,,,,,
Enough of this psychotic devilish ugly talentless t***** looking brawd.
If Gaga is talentless what is Rihshitta? Gaga writes her own music, plays piano and can actually sing. What does Rihsitta do besides pat her p****?
You mad f**? daddy gay gay is nothing but a transgender devil worshiping TALENTLESS BRAWD who tries way to hard to shock people pathetic h** at best. Btw I loved applause SIIIIKE that s*** was garbage then again all daddy ca cas music is.
Don’t mind his fugly ass. He stays doin the most.
Lmao@ Ri-Whine-A her voice is so funny to hear I just spilled my juce laughing @ her sounds she is such a messy boring singer! SHE’S A TALENT SHOW SINGER~IM SURE AMERICAN IDOL, X-FACTOR,THE VOICE WOULD HAVE SKIPPED HER ASS BY REAL QUICK!!
These pics f****** SLAY! The top one is my fave.
Will fugly photos of a t***** help her win high numbers on the charts we shall she won’t we?
These two covers are more like it .. I couldn’t get wit that 1st one.
Now these covers are much better.
I loved the first cover already. These two are great too.
Oooh My Freaking God!! Where Are All The Motha F****** Losers Who Keep Saying “Gaga Is Not S***” In Your Face You Damns Nuts!!!!!
The Cover Pic Is Slaying C****!!!
I don’t Stan for any artist other then the few that I like which are not Yelly Perry or Lady Gaga but Ga Ga style is so much better then Yelly Perry by 1,00,000,000….:)
It´s obvious!
Work it B****! I LIVE for Gaga.
First recent pictures I see where she actually looks like a star, and not like an amateur street performer with cheap clothes and her face painted
