When I was on the way to the Pierre Hotel in New York City this morning for the Billboard Women In Music event for an attempt at an MTV interview with Lady Gaga, I was expecting big things. Her co-headlining tour with Kanye West had just been abruptly canceled, she had just gotten fresh heat from 50 Cent over the "Fame Kills" tour being "gay" and was only a few weeks removed from her brief affair with Kermit the Frog.
You wouldn't think she would be skittish in public. After all, she has acknowledged a sexual encounter in the back of a New York taxi cab and stated, "F--- yeah I would do it again." When rumors surfaced that she was a hermaphrodite, she casually replied, "My beautiful vagina is very offended." More recently, she crashed the Video Music Awards with flair. She stormed the red carpet wearing a neck brace, faked her death onstage and covered herself from head to toe in firey red lace. What would she unleash on the red carpet at the Pierre?
Gaga made her grand entrance on the red carpet Friday (October 2) morning dressed in another bird-like outfit. It had a green and black feathered top and a long black see-through dress that was certainly revealing. But when it came to speaking with the media, she was a total pro. I was expecting her to lash out at 50 Cent using four letter words, but I was wrong. She called his comments "sad" and then stated the cancellation of the "Fame Kills" tour was a mutual decision between her and Kanye.
She was dressed in total Gaga style, but also very reserved, so she can clearly turn it on and off. What I do know is this: The experience made me like Ms. Gaga just a little bit more.
