Lady Gaga Top Beauty GalleryStefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986), better known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American theatrical musician, performance artist and dancer. She began her career as a songwriter for established artists, including Fergie, Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears and New Kids on the Block, as well as American singer and producer Akon. After Akon recognized that Gaga also had vocal talent, he signed her to a joint deal with his own label, Kon Live Distribution, and then she started to work on her own new material for her debut album.
Gaga released her debut album The Fame in 2008, which she explained was "about how anyone can feel famous." To date, the album has spawned the international number one hit singles "Just Dance" (nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 51st Grammy Awards) and "Poker Face." Gaga has been influenced by glam rockers such as David Bowie and Queen as well as pop singers like Michael Jackson and Madonna. On February 20, 2009, Huliq News reported that Gaga donated tickets and a meet and greet, for any show on her Fame Ball tour, in the US or Canada, to raise money for Odyssey Charter School and elementary schools in Los Angeles affected by budget cuts. Bidding began February 17, 2009, on eBay for what was described as "a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet Lady Gaga while positively impacting children's educational needs." The auction, managed by Giving Engine Auction Management, closed February 26, 2009.
Gaga's first North American tour, The Fame Ball Tour, started on March 12, 2009, and was critically appreciated. Beforehand, Gaga promised her fans that they can expect plenty of high drama from her upcoming performances. She said, "I consider what I do to be more of an Andy Warhol concept: pop performance art, multimedia, fashion, technology, video, film. And it's all coming together, and it's going to be traveling museum show." Gaga's associated act for the Pussycat Dolls in Australia in May was critically appreciated with reviewers claiming that she upstaged the Pussycat Dolls with her performance. Gaga appeared semi-nude on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine for their May 2009 issue for the annual Hot List wearing plastic bubbles only.
