Lady Gaga named Highest Earning Pop Star of 2010

Following her Grammy success, pop diva Lady Gaga has another reason to celebrate as she has been named the highest-earning pop star of 2010. The ‘Poker Face’ hitmaker topped Billboard’s money makers list, raking in USD 30.5 million last year. Rockers Bon Jovi regained second slot with USD 30.4 million and Pink Floyd star Roger Waters clinched third slot with USD 24.4 million. Teen sensation Justin Bieber rounded the top five with USD 22.4 million. "Lady Gaga was inescapable in 2010. The pop singer, only a few years removed from her original hair colour and shows at small downtown New York venues, so thoroughly dominated the last year that it seemed almost a foregone conclusion that she would top the Money Makers list," a Billboard spokesman said.

Other celebrities to make it to the top 10 included Country star Taylor Swift earning USD 20.7 million, Michael Buble USD 19.8 million, Eagles USD 18.3 million, Black Eyed Peas USD 16.8 million and Sir Paul MCCartney with USD 14.1 million.

Lady Gaga to announce her engagement

Pop star Lady Gaga may soon become engaged to her bartender boyfriend, Luc Carl. Rumors suggest that the on and off couple may be about to announce their engagement after Carl moved in to her luxury 25,000-dollar-a-month Bel Air mansion. The 24-year-old singer began dating the 29-year old barman for a second time last year, having previously had a relationship with him four years earlier before she found fame after meeting the failed rock drummer in a New York bar. The loved-up pair dated for a couple of years before splitting up just before Gaga went global with her first album in 2008.

But after getting back together, the loved-up pair is taking things more seriously this time around.

"She and Luc are in no rush to name a wedding date. She doesn’t even have a proper ring because he couldn’t afford one," said a source.

Lady Gaga gifts diamond-studded whip to Beyonce Knowles

Pop star Lady Gaga has reportedly gifted R&B singer Beyonce Knowles a custom-made diamond whip and matching underwear set for her 29th birthday.

The ‘Poker Face’ hitmaker splashed out thousands of dollars on the raunchy gifts, which she presented to her while singing ‘Happy Birthday.

Gaga wanted to give her something special. The whip was made out of hundreds of diamonds and leather. When Beyonce received it she squealed with excitement.

Gaga handed over the saucy gifts backstage at Beyonce’s husband Jay-Z’s concert in Detroit, with the rapper also making an effort to celebrate his spouse’s birthday.

Gaga’s eccentric present is apparently inspired from her prison-themed music video for single ‘Telephone’ which starred Beyonce.

The duo dressed in sexy leather and studded outfits for the shoot, with Gaga wearing metal chains and Beyonce sporting a tight black jumpsuit and chauffeur’s hat.

Lady Gaga goes for leather underwear

Lady Gaga successfully stole the limelight from the players on the pitch at a recent baseball game as she turned up for the event in nothing but leather underwear.

In the jeans and T-shirt crowd, the eccentric pop star stood out with her risqué outfit as she watched the San Diego Padres take on the New York Mets.

Despite her eye-catching ensemble, Gaga appeared to want to go unnoticed, angrily giving a photographer the finger on being photographed.

The ‘Poker Face’ hitmaker who had been given the prime seats behind home plate, then asked to be moved to a different location.

The singer is known for her risqué outfits and knack for courting controversy.

She had grabbed headlines again with the video for her latest single ‘Alejandro’ which used Catholic imagery, including the singer dressed as a nun in a red PVC habbit swallowing a crucifix.

Lady Gaga to do PETA ad campaign

Animal rights organisation PETA wants Lady Gaga to strip for their “Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign.

Lady Gaga, who is more famous for her outlandish and bizarre fashion choices, has been asked by the organisation to become the latest face of their anti-fur campaign.

If the 23-year-old singer agrees to be the part of the campaign, she will join the list of Hollywood beauties like Eva Mendes, Pamela Anderson and supermodel Christy Turlington.

PETA reportedly decided to approach the pop star after she turned up wearing a coat made from “The Muppet show” star Kermit the Frog soft toys on a US TV show.

The singer called her bizarre outfit a commentary against wearing fur.

"I really loved this one because I thought it was a commentary on not wearing fur, because I hate fur and I don’t wear fur," she had said.
