HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist Lady Gaga

It’s been pretty tough to ignore Lady Gaga lately, and that’s exactly how she wants it. Regardless of what you think of her pop-tart-meets-performance-art shtick—which cherry-picks from forbears like Madonna, Blondie, Bowie, and even artists like Andy Warhol and Cindy Sherman—it’s undeniable that 24-year-old Stefani Germanotta is adept at turning heads. But there’s more to Gaga’s fame than dresses made out of meat, giant hair bows, and habitual pantslessness: Her 2008 debut, The Fame, went platinum, and 2009's The Fame Monster, boasted the mega-hit “Bad Romance” and the follow-ups “Telephone” and “Alejandro.” Gaga continues her 18-month-long Monster Ball tour, which will likely include at least the lead-single/title-track from her upcoming follow-up, Born This Way, due out this May.
