Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.
Need a break from all that Kanye Kraziness? (Wait? Did you make your own Kanye apology via the Kanye Apology Generator yet? OMG! Do it!) Check out this photo of Lady Gaga backstage at the 2010 Marc Jacobs Spring show at the NY State Armory in New York City onSeptember 14. Gaga's jeweled mask and fluffy colored wig are fully and fearlessly Dame Edna!
Oh, Gaga! Check out Lady Gaga on the cover of V Magazine -- her first V Magazine cover ever, and Le Gags was photographed by Mario Testino.
Lady Gaga -- who'll be performing live at the 2009 MTV VMAs on September 13 -- is wearing a Marc Jacobs dress, electrostatic blue and pink Marc Jacobs glasses, and not much else but a boatload of bronzer. Gaga was interviewed by John Norris.
Both versions of Lady Gaga's V Magazine issue hit newsstands today. Collect 'em all, kittens!
+ Check out Lady Gaga's naked V Magazine photos after the jump. (Don't worry! They're tasteful!)
+ UPDATE: Check out video from Richie Rich's show below, courtesy of Sarah Conley! And yes, that IS Pam Anderson at the end...
Oh hai! So, I was illin' like a villain all day, but I got an invite to Richie Rich's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week show -- Richie Rich is half of what was (weep! RIP!) Heatherette, who were part of the original New York club kids when you were still in diapers, and they made Teyana Taylor's dress for her Super Sweet 16 debut, and they were the also the reason (besides Dolly Parton) that sequins and rhinestones were invented -- and realized I'd be a complete idiot to pass that up. (For reference, that's Richie in the photo all the way at the bottom, me [hi!], and Traver Rains of Heatherette at the Heatherette for MAC event last year.)
So I rallied for the cause and headed up to the Waldorf-Astoria (ridick and kinda gross), where a prissy lady in the lobby raised a brow when I walked by in my vintage '80s bicycle sweater. Um, apparently she hadn't noticed the drag queen deluge pouring in. It was total and absolute gayhem, which is a super-fun term I just made up! Anyway, the Richie Rich show was '90s amazing!
And for you keeping track on the Buzzworthy Twitter, here's a shot of Teyana Taylor, who was there in a bad-ass sequined majorette hat! (@Sk8Boardsqueez -- sorry, I was wrong -- when she first walked by I thought it was a little porkpie hat, but it was definitely no T-Pain hat!) She was so excited when I told her MTV fans on Twitter were excited that she was there in a suh-weet hat, and she was rocking the Wonder Woman hair again like she was at the MAC x Hello Kitty event the other week. And below that, though it's self-explanatory, that's Ice-T and wife Coco, who also attended the show. Coco was wearing a lot of clothes! For her.
Anyway, I'm the sure The Cut blog will have pix of Richie Rich's show. The Cut has been killing it, BTW -- they even got a severe close-up of Kanye's nub at the Alexandre Herchcovitch show. Thanks, guys!
Not so fast. Even if you have $75,000, put it back in your signature logo-covered Louis Vuitton wallet. Tonight's Brooklyn Ball event -- featuring an exclusive performance by Kanye West -- at the Brooklyn Museum (in, um, Brooklyn), is way sold out. Not that we could afford the ticket price (bargain basement tickets started at $1,000 and went up to $75,000 -- hope that included dessert!), which could double as a down payment on a nice home in many parts of the world.
The event is the kickoff for an exhibit by Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami, whose work is on display at the museum through July, and whose jock Kanye totally rides -- Murakami did the artwork on Kanye's Graduation album.
To some of you, M.I.A. looks like a cross between a middle-aged mall walker and a 1980s Port Authority crackhead. To others (ourselves included), she's a true fashion revolutionary (to be sure, when we were in London the other week, we saw what felt like millions of M.I.A. minions in oversized Tees, old-school hi-tops and fluorescents accents you could see coming for miles). But, to Marc Jacobs, she's the new face of his Spring/Summer '08 line. Also on deck to star in Marc Jacobs S/S '08 ads, Harmonie Korine and Victoria Beckham, who was recently earned the distinction of Worst Dressed Celebrity of 2007 by Mr. Blackwell.
