Lady Gaga Pictures From Terry Richardson: Unfiltered, Unabashed

Lady Gaga and photographer/provocateur Terry Richardson are set to release a hefty coffee table book featuring more than 350 photos of the singer.

The two have worked together in the past, most notably in a 2010 cover shoot for Vogue that served as a preview of the now-infamous meat dress.

Regarding the duo's book, Gaga told MTV that it push things even further, as she "didn't hold anything back from Terry" over the course of a year.

"He was with me every minute, every moment," she said.

"It's completely unfiltered and unabashed. He has photographs of me waking up, brushing my teeth, in the bathroom, in the bathtub, the shower."

"Nothing is staged; I mean, that's sort of what he is renowned for. He can get you to do things and he can capture things no one can ever capture."

"Terry thinks everything is so beautiful. I'm always, 'Oh Terry, get out of here,' and he's like, 'Oh, it's so beautiful, let me just shoot it,'" she said.

"I always just felt so comfortable with Terry. I love him so much. He's a really close friend, and I feel really honored that he traveled [with me]."

We can't wait to see the photos in question. In the meantime, browse through THG's gallery of Lady Gaga pictures and vote on your favorites.

Lady Gaga debuts new look on Japanese TV

She may stand accused of siphoning off charity funds from Japanese Tsunami fund bracelets, but never one to cower in the face of adversity, Lady Gaga chose the very same country to debut another off-the-wall look.

Appearing on the Japanese talk show Sukkiri yesterday, Gaga fashioned her outfit on the native panda, with painted black eye-sockets on a blanched out face. "I've been eating a lot of bamboo this week", the singer announced to the panel of excitable hosts.

Though her eccentricity usually goes it alone, fighting her for top spot on the "crimes against fashion" list was none other than one of the show's male co-hosts, who, in checkerboard trousers, heel-less black platforms, mirrored glasses and a bowler hat, nearly pipped her to the post. But a deconstructed xylophone down the bib of Gaga's dress edged her just in front.

But, why the face paint Lady Gaga? "Because panda's have paws and I always tell my friends to put their paws up so…".

Well, I suppose that's as good a reason as any.

The 'So You Think You Can Dance' Guest Judges: Big Names and Even Bigger Names

How do you top the combination of hot-tamale Mary Murphy and dancingly-dour Nigel Lythgoe? Apparently you do it with guest judges. On the same day that FOX announced actress Megan Mullally as the week-1 guest, reports have surfaced about a whole host of incredible celebrities set to grace the SYTYCD judging table.

The dancers are going to have to perform their socks off if they want to upstage these people.

According to a report from Xfinity TV News, Nigel Lythgoe has announced the names of some stars who will lend a hand at the judging table this season.

The biggest name? Lady Gaga. Seriously. According to Lythgoe: "I asked her when she performed on the American Idol finale if she would come on and she said yes." Nigel further commented that the date for Lady Gaga's arrival had not yet been set but would most likely be later in the season.

Lady Gaga is not the only guest judge of the season. Nigel Lythgoe also announced that Kristin Chenoweth, known for her work on both Broadway and television (Glee, Pushing Daisies and the upcoming Good Christian Belles), will also help out the judges. There is no word yet on when Chenoweth will judge.

As far as potential guest judge names go, Nigel had even more news. TV personalities Ellen DeGeneres and Neil Patrick Harris are apparently talking to producers about coming on the show. Harris has had a strong stage career (complete with some awesome dance moves) and Ellen is just Ellen -- great to have around.

Leaving aside the judges and moving to potential all-stars, So You Think You Can Dance viewers will be very happy with the potential inclusion of Alex Wong. The popular dancer was forced to withdraw from last season's competition due to an injury, and Nigel commented on how much the show wanted to bring him back: "Alex Wong is not fit enough to be a competitive dancer. Hopefully he is going to be fit enough, and hopefully he will be complementary to whoever is at the show at that point when it comes time to picking the all-stars."

Are you excited for all of these guest judges? Do they enhance the show, or do you find that they distract from the dancing? Who would be your dream guest judge? Let us know by leaving a comment below!

Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' Banned in Lebanon

Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' Banned in Lebanon


Lady Gaga's latest album may be getting stellar reviews in the US, but overseas, in Lebanon, 'Born This Way' isn't getting the same warm reception. According to NME, Gaga's freedom of self anthem album is getting the lockdown -- thousands of copies of the album were impounded by Lebanese authorities due to Gaga's lyrics which they believe are "offensive to Christianity."

But the space age artist shouldn't be too surprised by the country's reception of the full album. The singer's recent single, 'Judas,' was also banned from Lebanon's radio stations. Malaysia has also displayed similar responses to the album, banning the title track from their radio stations because they believed it was "promoting homosexuality."

There were even rumblings from the US Catholic League in anticipation of Gaga's 'Judas' video and it's religious affiliations. But after the video was released, it's convoluted message and imagery laid to rest any criticism from the League.

Do you think Gaga is pushing the envelope too far?
