Cher was very angry and launched a foul-mouthed rant on Twitter on Tuesday night after a song Lady Gaga wrote for her new album was leaked online.

Cher, 67, was left incensed when new track The Greatest Thing, which Lady Gaga wrote and RedOne produced for the veteran singer’s new album, found its way online.

After discovering the leak, Cher wrote on Twitter: “Just heard TGT ! F**K ! IT’S NOT EVEN THE RIGHT F***ING VERSION!!!

“WHY DO PPL THINK THIS KINDA LEAKING S**T IS OK ! I’m so Fg DISSAPOINTED.”

Cher later added: “Disappointed ( Ive Sat on fkng song 4 over a yr )NOW SOME A**HOLE LEAKS WRONG VERSION ! GaGa’s SINGLE IS GREAT, & THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS.”

While Lady Gaga was also undoubtedly unimpressed by the early leak, she did take to Twitter later in the day to thank Cher for having her back.

In a message re-tweeted by Cher, Lady Gaga wrote: “I love you @cher ! Thank you for the support, you’re the greatest thing!”

Speaking recently about her upcoming album, Cher compared it to one of her biggest hit records – 1998’s Believe.

She said: “It’s about being fabulous. Truthfully, I’m not a huge Cher fan and I’ve said this many times, but I think this is the best album I’ve ever done.

“The songs are so brilliant. I got so lucky. The closest thing to this album I think is the Believe album.”

Meanwhile, it’s been a less than successful week for Lady Gaga when it comes to her tracks being leaked.

On Monday she was forced to release her new single Applause a whole week before its intended premiere after it was leaked online.

Declaring a “POP MUSIC EMERGENCY”, Lady Gaga decided to beat the leakers and release the track to fans early.

And Cher was on hand to offer Lady Gaga some much-needed support as she struggled to contain her frustration over the leak.

Cher said: “She Doesn’t Like It! Shes an ARTIST… Its Her Song, Her Voice, Her Choice.”

Lady Gaga’s new single, Applause, has been rushed out after a number of snippets leaked online.

“A pop music emergency is underway,” tweeted Lady Gaga as the single was distributed to iTunes and YouTube.

Applause, Lady Gaga’s first new material since 2011, was originally scheduled for release on August 19.

Leaks are almost a fact of life for today’s pop stars, with Beyonce, Katy Perry and Jay-Z all seeing unauthorized material appear online this year.

Of 2013’s major releases, only David Bowie managed to keep his new album under wraps.

The release of his comeback single, Where Are We Now, on the morning of his 66th birthday came as a surprise to fans and critics around the world.

Low quality clips from Lady Gaga’s record first began to appear online on Saturday.

“Lord in heaven, why?” Lady Gaga tweeted, blaming hackers for the leak.

“You just couldn’t wait. This is too much for one Saturday.”

At first, Lady Gaga, 27, mobilized fans – asking them to report leaks to her record label – but by Monday evening she had relented and released the song to radio and online stores.

A short burst of robotic pop, Applause has so far received positive reviews.

Calling the single a “throwback” to her earlier material, Rolling Stone said: “Applause is all bouncy disco and simple messages.”

Billboard magazine said it was “built around pulsating synthesizers and morphs into a thrilling dance cut when it circles back to its chorus”.

But Spin magazine said Applause “offers few reasons to clap”, calling the track “bland” and “behind the times”.

Lady Gaga is due to give the first performance of the single at the MTV Awards on August 25.

Lady Gaga’s third album, ARTPOP, will be released in November.

Lady Gaga and Madonna could potentially be facing prosecution after Russian officials issued a statement saying the singers did not obtain appropriate visas to enter and perform in the country.

According to The Guardian, Madonna, who played there in August 2012, and Lady Gaga, who performed last December, arrived using cultural-exchange visas, which “do not grant their bearers the right to engage in any commercial activity”.

As a result, prosecutors are looking into possibly asking Russia’s foreign ministry or federal migration service to press charges.

The investigation has come about after Vitaly Milonov, the Russian politician who authored St. Petersburg’s law banning gay “propaganda,” brought the visa issue to the attention of authorities.

Following their 2012 shows, Vitaly Milonov tried – unsuccessfully – to take legal action against Madonna and Lady Gaga for speaking out in support of LGBT issues during their concerts.

Danny Trejo reboots the character of Machete in the sequel, which is also helmed by Robert Rodriguez.

He is hired by the President to take down villainous billionaire Luther Voz, played by Mel Gibson, who is attempting to launch a missile into space.

At the beginning of the clip, Charlie Sheen, who plays the President in the film, is seen lying in bed with three lingerie-clad beauties, who passes the phone down to him with an important call.

In the clip we are also introduced to Amber Heard’s character – Miss San Antonio.

The actress is also a sight for sore eyes as she plays a beauty pageant queen.

Jessica Alba and Michelle Rodriguez, who starred in Machete, return briefly in the trailer, with the latter wearing a patch over one eye as she reprises the role of Lu.

Machete Kills, which also stars Antonio Banderas, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Vanessa Hudgens, is scheduled for release on September 13.

Lady Gaga’s make-up artist uploaded a video of the singer getting her septum pierced.

The video, which shows Lady Gaga looking calm, features hard electronic music throughout the nose piercing process.

Following the process Lady Gaga, 27, posed alongside piercer Steve Bennet, showing off her natural beauty as she went make-up free once again.

Shortly after the video went online fans began to speculate about whether the music was in fact a hint of what to expect from her forthcoming album ARTPOP.

However, Lady Gaga’s make-up artist quickly dispelled the rumors tweeting: “The music’s not from the album, it’s from the experience xoxo.”

But looking for any information they could get her fans quickly started quizzing her piercer who posted the picture, captioned: “Getting hype with Lady Gaga at my studio in Chicago. (pierced her septum with 16 anatometal seamless).”

Answering some of their questions he wrote: “She was so fun and full of energy. It was such a pleasure meeting her. Cannot wait till her new album is released!”

And fans won’t have long to wait to hear new music as Lady Gaga is set to perform at the MTV Music Awards next month.

Lady Gaga, real name Stefani Germanotta, used to spend her days and nights partying with friends at her Lower East side apartment, with Brendan Jay Sullivan revealing drugs were never far away.

Ahead of the book’s release, Radar Online have reported several excerpts, including Brendan Jay Sullivan recalling watching Lady Gaga rub a white powder out of her carpet and onto her gums.

Future superstar Lady Gaga then allegedly went on to tell Brendan Jay Sullivan: “I used to do bags and bags of it. Mostly when I was getting ready to go out, while I was putting on my makeup.”

Along with the dramatic picture Lady Gaga wrote: “ARTPOP as they pry the single from my bleeding fingers. it’s a scary thing to revisit those things underneath, the pain in your past. but all I found was raw passion. I thought I was destroyed inside. I’m just ready to fight. start the music.”

In the picture Lady Gaga sports a pale complexion and her eyebrows are barely there.

Lady Gaga, who is no stranger to changing her appearance, posted the snap to a fan site Littlemonsters.com.

She looks trimmer than she has in recent months, with a pronounced collar bone on display.

Lady Gaga, who has failed to comment on reports that she has had a nose job in recent weeks, was named as the top earning celebrity under 30 years old by Forbes magazine.

The singer made an estimated $80 million in the last 12 months, despite being forced to cancel part of her tour after having hip surgery.

Last year Lady Gaga was ranked at number four, while Taylor Swift, who topped the poll in 2012, has dropped to third place with $55 million.

According to Forbes magazine, Lady Gaga is the top earning celebrity under 30 years old.

Lady Gaga made an estimated $80 million in the last 12 months, despite cancelling part of her tour to have hip surgery.

Last year she was ranked at number four, while Taylor Swift, who topped the poll in 2012, has dropped to third place with $55 million.

Justin Bieber is in second place again this year with $58 million.

The Forbes website claims that Lady Gaga would have earned even more had she not had to cancel part of her world tour in February.

She recently announced her next album, Artpop, would be released in November with a single due out on August 19.

To make the list, Forbes magazine estimated the entertainment-related income of celebrities between June 2012 and June 2013 by talking to agents, managers, producers and executives.

Adele, who made the list for the first time last year, was ranked number eight making an estimated $25 million.

Earlier this year Adele won an Oscar for the James Bond theme Skyfall.

Star of The Hunger Games, Jennifer Lawrence, is the highest entry on the list not to work in the music industry.

Jennifer Lawrence placed at number seven, with earnings of $26 million.

Completing the top 10 are Twilight co-stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner who both made $22 million.

Lady Gaga has been keeping a low-profile in recent months after recuperating from her hip surgery and working on her new album.

Now she starts to build buzz around her upcoming album Artpop and new single.

Lady Gaga unveiled a new promotional picture from her new album, which will be released as a phone app.

The photo sees the singer with an unusual visor covering her face.

Lady Gaga announced on Friday that her new single would be released on August 10, with the album/app following on November 11.

Describing the album, the press release said: “The app itself is a musical and visual engineering system that combines music, art, fashion and technology with a new interactive worldwide community <<the auras>>. Altering the human experience with socal media, we bring ARTculture into POP in a reverse Warholian expedition.

“Exploring Gaga’s existence as a cultural interface, the user will share in the <<adrenaline of fame>> as they build and share their own projects, chat with one another and watch in real-time on a virtual globe as ARTPOP explodes into the physical and virtual universe at once on November 11, our <<Big Bang>>.

“On this day, HAUS OF GAGA venges  with forte to bring the music industry into a new age, an age where art drives pop and the artist once again is in control of the icon.

“In turn, the album ARTPOP musically mirrors Gaga’s creative process as she passes through the mediums of each artist she collaborates with, scoring a blueprint of her journey. The result, a <<rage>> of electronic passion and fury, defining each artistic process from beginning to end, Artpop could mean anything. But for her, this is a celebration of obsession.”

Lady Gaga’s Facebook posting comes after she has given herself a self-imposed Twitter ban since June 26.

The profile photo and backdrop has been removed and replaced with the standard Twitter egg icon.

However, it is believed Lady Gaga will return to Twitter once her single comes out next month.

Controversial Lady Gaga has sparked speculation she has undergone a nose job, after it appeared more streamlined at a recent event.

Recently Lady Gaga’s nose appeared to be slimmer and smaller.

A spokesperson for the singer refused to comment on the claims.

Lady Gaga has spoken out about her looks and in a past interview claimed she would never go under the knife.

Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar in 2011 after sporting prosthetic horns and claiming they were her “bones”, Lady Gaga said: “I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers who have.”

“I think promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification.”

She continued: “And how many models and actresses do you see on magazine covers who have brand-new faces and have had plastic surgery, while I myself have never had any plastic surgery?”

While Lady Gaga’s looks might be causing controversy, her absence from social networking sites has also raised eyebrows.

The singer, who has over 39million followers on Twitter, recently announced she was leaving the site – albeit for a temporary period.

Lady Gaga has changed her profile picture to the default egg and has written: “This interface has been shutdown temporarily. Please check back for updates.”

It’s thought Lady Gaga’s departure from Twitter is to coincide with the promotional drive for her new album ARTPOP.

Forbes calculated celebrity’s earnings on income from tours, books, contracts, endorsements, movies and residuals and each star was given a marketability score, created by California market research firm E-Poll.

Oprah Winfrey is back on top of Forbes‘ list of the world’s most powerful celebrities – Forbes’ Celebrity 100 – after a two-year stint in the runner-up seat.

Oprah Winfrey, 59, knocked Jennifer Lopez off the spot and into number 12, but still shares the top ten winners’ enclosure arena with a multitude of women.

There are six girls in the plum positions – and the only man to make it into the top five is film director Steven Spielberg, who, coming third, is sandwiched between Lady Gaga in second and Beyonce in fourth.

Madonna comes fifth and Taylor Swift makes her top 10 debut at number six in the annual Top 100 compiled by Forbes magazine, which is based on income over a 12-month period and fame, as defined by a media presence across all platforms, as well as social media power.

Writer E.L. James is newcomer to the list at number 42, proving that celebrities with clout can come from anywhere. E.L. James has sold 70 million copies of her books and earned an estimated $77 million in the last 12 months.

Forbes calculated celebrity’s earnings on income from tours, books, contracts, endorsements, movies and residuals and each star was given a marketability score, created by California market research firm E-Poll.

The magazine credits Oprah Winfrey’s $77 million earnings between June 2012 and June 2013 – as well as her prominence on TV, on social media and in the press – for her placing.

Forbes writer Dorothy Pomerantz said: “She still wields an enormous amount of power, which is really what we look for in our fame matrix.

“She is taking this cable network and turning it around just through the sheer force of her will, her connections and her ability.”

Oprah Winfrey, who has topped the list on four previous occasions, is one of three celebrities who have featured on the prestigious list every year since its inception in 1999, along with radio DJ Howard Stern and director Steven Spielberg.

But she wasn’t the highest earning star over the last year. Madonna earned $125 million between June 2012 and June 2013.

Last year’s number one, Jennifer Lopez – who topped the chart thanks to her public profile and earnings of $52 million – drops to 12 on this year’s countdown.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga, despite being forced to cancel numerous dates on her moneymaking Born This Way Ball tour due to hip surgery earlier this year, earned $80 million from the global jaunt.

Forbes also cites the 27-year-old star’s devoted fan following on social media for her lofty ranking.

Dorothy Pomerantz said: “She is still a huge force in pop music. Even when she is not playing, people are talking about her and speculating about her.”

Forbes also deciphered how often individual stars appeared in the media and used Starcount – a Singapore-based company that studies celebrity’s presence on 11 different social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, to assess popularity and influence.

Lady Gaga took a step out of the spotlight as a bridesmaid at her best friend’s wedding.

Lady Gaga, 27, blended in with her fellow maids by wearing a pale pink halterneck gown.

The singer had flown out to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico for the wedding of her school friend Bo following her recovery from a hip injury that put her world tour on hold.

As she watched her friend hold hands with her future husband, she was less Lady Gaga and more Stefani Germanotta.

Playing the dutiful Maid of Honour, Lady Gaga held the bride’s white and pink bouquet, as well as her veil throughout the wedding ceremony.

Her fellow bridesmaids looked just as elegant as Lady Gaga, with each dress cut from the same cloth but in a different style to suit the wearer.

Posing together in one special photo, Lady Gaga held hands with one friend who also styled her hair with a beautiful flower.

Only hints of the real Lady Gaga were evident with her eyelids fluttering with false lashes and a sharp manicure, while she sported bright blonde wig in contrast to the dark brown and ginger looks she had been wearing over the past few days in Mexico.

And though the singer is used to having an entourage to help her with her every need, she was on hand to support her best friend as she got ready to become Mrs. O’Connor.

The bride wore a strapless gown with fishtail shirt and a statement origami detail to the bust, and she styled her hair into an elegant chignon.

Lady Gaga made sure Bo’s veil flowed beautifully over her face before, it seemed, she headed to the wedding ceremony.

Her wedding gift may well have been the use of her good friend and make-up artist Tara Savelo, who made the bridal party glow on the big day.

But Lady Gaga seemed to be attending the day without her Chicago Fire boyfriend Taylor Kinney, allowing her to spend quality time with her old Sacred Heart school friends at the reception.

Taylor Kinney, 31, has been busy filming The Other Woman with Cameron Diaz in her hometown of New York.

Meanwhile Lady Gaga has been using her recovery to write latest album ArtPop, out later this year.

Lady Gaga has shed 30 lbs and displayed her new bikini body while on holiday in Mexico earlier this week.

Lady Gaga, 27, displayed her toned figure in a floral two-piece while soaking up the sunshine with her friends.

Looking back to her confident best, Lady Gaga smiled widely as she was photographed.

Clearly conscious of the strong sun, Lady Gaga teamed the bikini with a wide-brimmed white hat and sunglasses to protect her pale complexion.

Later, Lady Gaga was seen wearing a pair of wide-legged cream trousers over the bikini as she made her way back to her hotel.

Her footwear choice could have been slightly more sensible, however, as the singer was seen wearing a pair of black heeled court shoes, which she them removed to walk along the sands.

The heels were even more inappropriate considering Lady Gaga’s recent operation on her hip back in February for a labral tear.

Lady Gaga was forced to cancel her Born This Way Ball tour and doctors told her to take six months off.

She revealed on Twitter that she dealt with chronic pain for several months prior to seeking medical help, but chose to ignore its effects rather than disappoint her fans.

Lady Gaga’s impressive bikini body comes after some unflattering pictures of her on stage in Amsterdam last September led to the singer revealing she had gained 30 lbs.

Following the shots, Lady Gaga admitted in an interview that she had put on weight, telling Stylist magazine: “I don’t really care if people think I’m fat, because, quite honestly, I did gain about 30 pounds.”

Lady Gaga later blamed the weight gain on her restaurant owner father’s cooking.

The singer told radio host Elvis Duran: “I love eating pasta and pizza. I’m a New York Italian girl. That’s why I have been staying out of New York. My father opened a restaurant. It’s so amazing.

“It’s so freaking delicious, but I’m telling you I gain five pounds every time I go in there. So my dad wants me to eat at the restaurant, and I’m, like, I’ve got to go where I can drink green juice.”

Lady Gaga added: “I really don’t feel bad about it, not even for a second. I have to be on such a strict diet constantly. It’s hard because it’s a quite vigorous show, so I tend to bulk up, get muscular, and I really don’t like that. So I’m trying to find a new balance.”

Lady Gaga has been reunited with her favorite heels as she hit the town in New York in her trademark super high boots.

Lady Gaga’s re-emergence comes after she was seen wheeling around the Big Apple in a gold wheelchair, and then kitten heels.

A brief appearance at the premiere of The Great Gatsby revealed a severe short crop, but it seems that was a side show for the main event as she attended the Versace Versus party back to her usual self complete with long blonde hair and Frankenstein height boots.

Lady Gaga, 27, wore an asymmetric babydoll style minidress, presumably by Versace, which she accessorized with a yellow fur clutch.

However, the singer didn’t look completely confident, as she reached out to a pole for balance.

Lady Gaga clearly can’t wait to get back into the mix after being out of action for almost four months, as she reportedly played partygoers at the fashion event snippets of her new album.

The singer has been lying low since undergoing an operation on her hip to deal with a labral tear in February. She was forced to cancel her Born This Way Ball tour and doctors told her to take six months off.

Lady Gaga revealed on Twitter that she dealt with chronic pain for several months prior to seeking medical help, but chose to ignore its effects rather than disappoint her fans.

She has kept a low profile throughout her recovery, but was photographed in Chicago, Illinois, for her birthday last month.

Lady Gaga was seen in a wheelchair while visiting boyfriend Taylor Kinney, who works on location in the city filming the NBC drama Chicago Fire.

But clearly she couldn’t wait to dig out her boots as she enjoyed a night out.

However, Lady Gaga’s re-emergence in heels may be somewhat premature – as doctors have banned the singer from performing until September.

Friends said the decision had left her crushed. A source told The Mirror: “She has a bunch of projects she wants to roll on but she needs ­clearance from doctors. It’s really frustrating for her. She won’t be back in action until September.”

In another of her infrequent appearances, Lady Gaga – whose real name is Stephani Germanotta- showed off a platinum blonde bob in April as she enjoyed a night at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood.

The singer was wearing white power, heavy blush and winged eyeliner and a white top with plunging back.

Accompanied by a blonde friend, Lady Gaga looked rather sleepy as she rode home in the white convertible.

As she is taking time out of the spotlight to recuperate from her injury, Lady Gaga was probably enjoying the rest from her dramatic hairstyles or wigs we often see her sporting.

She previously admitted in an interview that she has to get her hair cut short quite regularly because her locks are in such bad condition from all the chemicals and dye she uses.

Lady Gaga, a natural brunette, told People magazine two years ago: “I have to get a chemical haircut because my blonde hair is falling out.”

More than half of Justin Bieber’s followers on Twitter are fake, suggests a report which looked into social media profiles on the networking service.

Justin Bieber, 19, has the most followers in the world after overtaking Lady Gaga last year.

However, the research claims out of the singer’s 37.3 million followers, only 17.8 million are linked to real accounts.

The website Socialbakers found only 47% of Justin Bieber’s followers on Twitter were genuine fans.

The company spots fake accounts by looking at the number of followers and seeing if genuine tweets have been posted, rather than spam.

The data also considers fake accounts to continuously tweet buzz phrases such as “diet”, “make money” and “work from home”.

The findings mean Justin Bieber should theoretically fall back into second place behind Lady Gaga in the race for the most followers.

After calculating Lady Gaga’s potential share of fake followers, the report suggests she still has 19 million real ones compared with Justin Bieber’s 17 million.

Angelina Jolie, Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga and National Rifle Association head Wayne LaPierre are the newest targets of a group that claims it has hacked the financial data of 38 celebrities, sports stars and public officials.

The hacker group made headlines last month for posting documents that it said exposed personal details about bold-faced names including First Lady Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney and Vice President Joe Biden (See full list below).

The site where the group published its information, which was believed to be hosted in Russia, went offline weeks later.

The website reappeared today, apparently based on the French island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean.

TMZ.com first reported the new leak. The FBI is still investigating the hackers.

Phone numbers, addresses, credit scores, and even car payments and cable bills are all part of a document dump posted online by the unknown group of hackers.

Other new targets include convicted Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Secret Service Director Julia Pierson, Penn State child molester Jerry Sandusky and Robert De Niro.

Also on Wednesday, the Twitter account associated with the hackers was suspended.

FBI Director Robert Mueller, US Marshals Service Director Stacia Hylton and LAPD boss Charlie Beck weren’t alone. Michelle Obama, VP Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had their addresses and other sensitive information posted online.

Beyoncé, Britney Spears and Kim Kardashian were also exposed by the site – although it is unclear how the information was obtained or why these individuals were selected.

Social Security numbers allegedly belonging to Mel Gibson, Jay-Z and 15 others matched records in public databases.

Ashton Kutcher, Paris Hilton, Donald Trump and Attorney-General Eric Holder also had their personal details made public in the mass dump of “secret files”, known as being “doxxed”.

There has so far been little comment from representatives of the public figures targeted in the cyber attacks as to the accuracy of the information revealed.

The site, which bore an internet suffix originating in the former Soviet Union, remained active on Tuesday and bears a quote from the TV show Dexter as the tagline: “If you believe that God makes miracles, you have to wonder if Satan has a few up his sleeve.”

It appears as if the site is continuing to reveal the details of yet more famous people today.

The names of Sarah Palin, Hulk Hogan and Arnold Schwarzenegger were added to the list on Tuesday.

Michelle Obama’s on the other hand is largely positive featuring an “I Love Michelle” sign and the message: “Blame your husband, we still love you, Michelle. <3.”

The existence of the hacker’s website was first reported on Monday by TMZ. The site reported that both the LAPD and the FBI are investigating the hack.

Los Angeles police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said the LAPD was investigating the posting of chief Charlie Beck’s information and would also investigate the posting of information on any celebrities who live in the city and request an inquiry.

Store cards, car loans and cable bills are among the sensitive information that has appeared on the web.

Several of the purported credit reports appear to have been generated last week. Many of the pages featured unflattering pictures of the celebrities or government officials whose information was posted.

Forbes reported that some of the credit unions involved were investigating.

The site’s page on LAPD chief Charlie Beck includes a taunting reference to former police officer Christopher Dorner, who was killed in a shootout after killing four people over several days last month.

Charlie Beck reopened Christopher Dorner’s case and ordered a review of the LAPD disciplinary system after the black ex-cop’s online manifesto accused the department of racism and bias in his firing and vowed to get even with officers and their families

Christopher Dorner killed four people, including two police officers, in his rampage before he committed suicide during a fiery shootout in a California mountain cabin two weeks ago.

Charlie Beck’s page on the hackers’ site included the message “#YouCantCornerTheDorner” and an image of a woman protesting police corruption.

The hacker group Anonymous had threatened a cyber-attack in retaliation to Christopher Dorner’s death last month.

While government officials often have to disclose details on their finances – and celebrity divorces sometimes feature public financial data – the information posted online exceeds those disclosures.

Social Security numbers are rarely included in public records anymore because they can be used for identity theft.

Thirty eight celebrities and public officials have been targeted in the hacking attack, since the website was revealed last month:

  • Charlie Beck, Los Angeles police chief
  • Beyoncé, singer
  • Joe Biden, Vice President
  • John Brennan, CIA Director
  • Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State
  • Chris Christie, New Jersey Governor
  • Tom Cruise, actor
  • Robert De Niro, actor
  • Bill Gates, Microsoft founder
  • Mel Gibson, actor
  • Al Gore, former Vice President
  • Paris Hilton, reality TV star

Lady Gaga starts walking again for the first time since hip surgery in February.

Lady Gaga, 27, was spotted strutting into a Bikram yoga class in New York’s East Village on Monday.

However, at one moment she was seen being pushed out of the class in her Louis Vuitton wheelchair.

Lady Gaga starts walking again for the first time since hip surgery in February

Lady Gaga, who is back from Chicago after celebrating her birthday in the city with boyfriend Taylor Kinney last week, has been left reliant on a wheelchair after having an operation to repair a labral tear on her right hip two months ago.

The singer has been recuperating in style with the help some very extravagant accessories.

As well as her designer Louis Vuitton ride, Lady Gaga has also been pictured in a lavish 24-carat gold plated wheelchair, which she commissioned from luxury brand Mordekai.

Ken Borochov – who is the creative genius behind Mordekai – designed the wheelchair and although he has worked with Lady Gaga before he was shocked to receive such an unusual request.

In an official statement, Ken Borochov previously said: “I certainly wasn’t expecting that phone call and have never done a wheelchair but am always up for a challenge and was thrilled to create what I affectionately dubbed the <<Chariot>>, a chair fit only for a queen.”

Lady Gaga was forced to cancel the remaining 25 dates of her Born This Way Ball US tour after sustaining the hip injury.

The Born This Way tour began in Seoul, South Korea on April 27, 2012 and was originally due to end in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on March 20, 2013.

Fans and photographers alike spotted Lady Gaga on her midday ride despite her efforts to deflect attention by wearing an understated ensemble of black jeans, a black tank top and oxfords.

Lady Gaga was in Chicago to celebrate her 27th birthday on March 28 with boyfriend Taylor Kinney.

Taylor Kinney currently is in the city filming the NBC drama Chicago Fire.

A source confirmed to the New York Post’s Page Six that Lady Gaga and taylor Kinney kicked off the singer’s birthday celebration on Tuesday evening with an intimate meal at Italian eatery Spiaggia on the city’s famed Michigan Avenue.

Lady Gaga has been confined to a wheelchair since February, when she suffered a labral tear in her hip that caused her to abandon the remaining US dates of her Born This Way Ball tour.

Nicola Formichetti, the stylist who dressed Kim Kardashian for her recent fashion shoot in Elle magazine’s latest issue, has revealed how designers refused to lend the reality star their clothes.

Nicola Formichetti, 35, the stylist behind Lady Gaga’s masterful wardrobe, admitted that calling in high-end samples for Kim Kardashian posed “a challenge” for him.

“People wouldn’t lend me the clothes,” Nicola Formichetti explained to the magazine.

“But that’s fashion snobbery.”

Nicola Formichetti, who is the creative director of Mulgar and fashion director of Uniqlo, said he approached several designers who all declined in having their clothes worn by Kim Kardashian with “less-than-model-like-proportions”, as Elle described her five-foot-two-inch frame.

“She’s not the It Girl yet, but she will be,” he said.

Nicola Formichetti said the duo worked with what they were given, including several Tom Ford pieces, as well as Roberto Cavalli, and Victor and Rolf, and managed to put together several looks.

On Twitter on Thursday, Nicola Formichetti backed away from the remarks, claiming his words had been twisted.

“Taken out of context again..Working with @kimkardashian was amazing we had more than enough options for @ellemagazine !!” he wrote, adding that he was looking forward to working with Kim Kardashian again.

Kim Kardashian meanwhile gushed to the stylist in a behind-the-scenes video: “I love being transformed and I love, like your, vision of who you think I am. That’s always so inspiring to me and so interesting to see someone else’s take on me.”

She added that no matter what clothes Nicola Formichetti had to work with, most importantly he “understands a woman’s body”.

“When I work with someone that I really respect, I work with trust,” Kim Kardashian said to Nicola Formichetti.

“So even if I’m not comfortable in something; I trust, like, your vision to push me a little bit.”

However, Kim Kardashian admits she was “really nervous” to take part in the shoot as working with Formichetti was “just a dream come true”.

Lady Gaga has decided to cancel the rest of her Born This Way Ball tour to undergo emergency surgery.

Lady Gaga, 26, has been forced to cancel all 25 remaining U.S. dates, after suffering a severe injury to her right hip that has been causing her chronic pain.

A statement was posted on Lady Gaga’s official website on Wednesday saying: “Live Nation Global Touring has confirmed that the remainder of the Lady Gaga Born This Way Ball performances have been cancelled.

After additional tests this morning to review the severity of the issue, it has been determined that Lady Gaga has a labral tear of the right hip. She will need surgery to repair the problem, followed by strict down time to recover.

“This unfortunately, will force her to cancel the tour, so she can heal. Refunds for the cancelled performances will be available at point of purchase starting Feb 14, 2013.”

The announcement came just one day after Lady Gaga issued a public apology after initially cancelling four shows due the injury and revealed she can barely walk due to the inflammation of her joints, known as synovitis.

The singer said: “I barely know what to say. I’ve been hiding a show injury and chronic pain for some time now, [and] over the past month it has worsened. I’ve been praying it would heal.

I hid it from my staff. I didn’t want to disappoint my amazing fans. However, after last night’s performance I could not walk and still can’t.”

Lady Gaga admitted she is “devastated” about the cancellation and sought forgiveness from her fans, saying: “I hope you can forgive me, as it is nearly impossible for me to forgive myself. I’m devastated & sad. It will hopefully heal as soon as possible. I hate this. I hate this so much. I love you and I’m sorry.”

Kim Kardashian has posed for the March issue of Elle magazine where she is styled by Lady Gaga’s fashion director Nicola Formichetti.

Kim Kardashian, 32, poses for a series of sultry shots for the publication, with some of the pictures showing her looking distinctly different from her usual image.

The majority of the photographs show the reality star with dramatic dark cats eye make-up and darkly drawn eyebrows.

One shot shows Kim Kardashian channeling a 1960s look with big backcombed hair, pale lipstick and round Chanel drop earrings, sporting a Tom Ford patent leather jacket.

Kim Kardashian’s famous curves are also on show – one snap shows her in a low cut white Viktor & Rolf dress and a beaded wool Roberto Cavalli blazer.

“I love being transformed and I love your vision of who you think I am – that’s always so inspiring for me and so interesting seeing someone’s take on me,” Kim Kardashian tells Nicola Formichetti on a behind-the-scenes video on Elle’s website.

“When I work with someone I really respect, I work with trust,” the reality star adds.

“Even if I’m not comfortable in something, I trust your vision to push me a little bit.”

However, Kim Kardashian admits she was “really nervous” to take part in the shoot as working with Nicola Formichetti was “just a dream come true”.

Stylist Nicola Formichetti, who has worked with Lady Gaga since 2009 on her album covers, performances and videos, says he was impressed with Kim Kardashian’s down to earth air and the fact she arrived at the shoot with no entourage.

“I travel alone,” reveals Kim Kardashian, who is expecting her first child by boyfriend Kanye West.

“I don’t have an entourage and I’m sick of my family right now and they’re my only entourage!

“I like to vibe out by ourselves and sometimes when you have lots of other people there, it gets in the way.”

But it wasn’t all plain sailing, Nicola Formichetti admitted that designers refused to lend him clothes because of “fashion snobbery”.

According to Radar Online, Nicola Formichetti revealed that it posed “a challenge” for him after the stylist claims he approached several designers who declined having their clothes worn by the star.

“People wouldn’t lend me the clothes,” Nicola Formichetti explains.

“But that’s fashion.”

Jennifer O’Neill, Lady Gaga’s former personal assistant, who is currently suing the singer for unpaid overtime, has revealed in court depositions that she shared the same bed as Gaga during her Monster’s Ball tour in 2010.

“I was by her side virtually 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Jennifer O’Neill said in her deposition.

“That includes sleeping in the same bed with her. Because she did not sleep alone.”

When asked if it was requirement for Jennifer O’Neill to share the same sleeping quarters with Lady Gaga, she responded: “I felt it was.”

Jennifer O’Neill said that she was the only member of Lady Gaga’s entourage that didn’t have her own hotel room.

“Unlike anybody else on that tour, I did not have my own hotel room. I was not asked if I wanted my own hotel room,” she said.

“I had no privacy, no chance to talk to any family, no chance to talk to any friends, no chance to have sex if I wanted to have sex. There was no chance to do anything.”

In the deposition documents, obtained by the New York Post, Jennifer O’Neill does not make any suggestion that she and Lady Gaga had any kind of sexual relationship.

But she claims that Lady Gaga was incredibly demanding, not giving her anytime to do anything for herself.

“And she was quite irate that she couldn’t reach me on my phone a couple of times, and was quite angry and asked me why she was paying for this hotel room if I was unreachable,” Jennifer O’Neill said in the deposition.

Jennifer O’Neill also describes one time that Lady Gaga made several demands whist O’Neill was trying to get her hair cut.

“She might have said <<I need some tea, I need – can you get my computer for me, can you get my phone, my battery is dead, I need a tampon, the toilet doesn’t flush>>,” Jennifer O’Neill said.

“Another thing she would do in the middle of the night, would be wake me up to have me change the DVD in the DVD player because she didn’t want to watch that DVD anymore and she couldn’t get up to walk across the room to change the DVD herself.”

Lady Gaga tweeted somewhat of a response to the new emerging details on her Twitter account on Saturday, claiming that Jennifer O’Neill had, as well as being her personal assistant, been one of her good friends.

“Everyone’s headlines need an updating. <<former assistant>> is actually <<my best friend from NY since I was 19>>. Painful stuff,” she wrote.

Jennifer O’Neill, from Long Island, launched her legal action against Lady Gaga, claiming she was overworked and underpaid, at the end of last year.

She was employed by the star for 13 months, accompanying her on her Monster Ball world tour in 2011.

Jennifer O’Neill, 41, alleges that she put in 7,168 hours of unpaid overtime and is now owed more than $380,000, according to the report in the New York Post.

The former personal assistant claims she had to cater to Lady Gaga’s at times unreasonable demands around the clock.

Jennifer O’Neill insists she had to ensure “the promptness of a towel following a shower and serving as a personal alarm clock to keep [Gaga] on schedule”.

She was not given breaks for meals “or, at times, even sleep”, and needed to be available at the star’s “earliest waking hour” or for “spontaneous, random matters in the middle of the night”, according to the court papers.

Jennifer O’Neill, who was paid $75,000-a-year, also had to ensue “the availability of chosen outfits”. Lady Gaga is, of course, famous for her eccentric wardrobe and once wore a meat dress to MTV Video Music Awards.

She filed the lawsuit in Manhattan federal court in December against Lady Gaga’s Mermaid Touring company for unpaid overtime.

Lady Gaga dismissed Jennifer O’Neill’s lawsuit in a video-taped deposition from August last year in New York, saying: “[Jennifer is a] f***ing hood rat who is suing me for money that she didn’t earn.

“She thinks she’s just like the queen of the universe. And, you know what, she didn’t want to be a slave to one, because in my work and what I do, I’m the queen of the universe every day.

“She knew there was no overtime, and I never paid her overtime the first time I hired her, so why would she be paid overtime the second time? This whole case is b******* and you know it.”

Jennifer O’Neill is not the first personal assistant to complain about working for Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta.

Former employee Angela Ciemny also claimed she was required to sleep with Lady Gaga most nights because she refused to be alone, according to the book Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga lashed out at her former assistant Jennifer O’Neill, who is suing her for nearly $400,000 for unpaid overtime.

Lady Gaga, 26, branded Jennifer O’Neill a “f****** hood rat who is suing me for money she didn’t earn” during six hours of questioning at a Midtown Manhattan law office.

As she painted a picture of boozy, caviar-filled bashes – which left her “s**t hammered, crawling and screaming on the streets of Paris” at 5 a.m. – Lady Gaga insisted her former assistant had slept in “Eygptian cotton” sheets and travelled the world on a private jet, ranting: “She’s just – she thinks she’s just like the queen of the universe.

“And, you know what, she didn’t want to be a slave to one, because in my work and what I do, I’m the queen of the universe every day.”

According to court documents, Lady Gaga – real name Stefani Germanotta – complained that she got stressed when Jennifer O’Neill would only open a “couple of bags” while they were travelling and that she was left to move “these huge, big luggages… and s**t all by myself in the room”.

Lady Gaga noted “there is 20 bags and only me, and I can’t sift through everything”.

“She would only open a couple of bags and it was very stressful for me because then again on my off days I couldn’t really have a day off because, you know, I weigh 115 pounds and I was trying to move these huge, big luggages all by myself in the room and I did it all the time – by the way, she was asleep until 12:00 most of the time, so I was very often waking up and moving my own luggage and doing s**t by myself and it was – it was a problem that I had.”

And while previous assistants “would like to set up my room and I would know where my clothes were, I would know where my toothbrush was, I would know where my soap was and everything was”, Lady Gaga said that when Jennifer O’Neill “got lazy, she didn’t always do these things for me”.

Lady Gaga – who now has two personal assistants – added: “I can’t walk down the street and go buy myself toiletries, I have to call security, I’ve got to call Jen or now I got to call Wendi, I’ve got to get a whole bunch of people together to help me fix the problem, which wouldn’t happen if she was doing her job properly on regular days.”

Lady Gaga also gave an insight into her five-star lifestyle, which included flights on private jets, modeling in Paris and partying until 5a.m. in Paris with celebrity photographer Terry Richardson – ending up “s**t hammered…crawling on the streets of Paris, I was screaming”.

Jennifer O’Neill, 42, from Long Island, was employed by Lady Gaga for 13 months on a $75,0000 salary, accompanying the singer on her Monster Ball world tour in 2010.

She claims she was serving at Lady Gaga’s “beck and call” as the singer’s career took off between 2009 and March 2011.

However, Lady Gaga portrayed Jennifer O’Neill as an ingrate who took for granted the excesses, the parties, the “five star hotels” and other luxuries, including “caviar, champagne and yachts”, that she was allowed to enjoy as part of Gaga’s entourage – saying “she thinks it’s owed to her for no reason”.

Lady Gaga also described Jennifer O’Neill as a “disgusting human being” who should have been grateful for living a luxury lifestyle that included “sleeping in Egyptian cotton sheets every night, in five-star hotels, on private planes, eating caviar… and using my YSL discount without my permission”.

As she unleashed a tirade of abuse while giving her videoed testimony on August 6, Lady Gaga accused Jennifer O’Neill of staring at her “like a witch” and also fired expletives at the claimant’s lawyer.

Lady Gaga insisted that none of her employees are paid overtime, adding: “She [Jennifer O’Neill] knew there was no overtime, and I never paid her overtime the first time I hired her, so why would she be paid overtime the second time? This whole case is b******t and you know it.”

Staring at Jennifer O’Neill, Lady Gaga raged: “Are you going to stare at me like a witch this whole time – honestly? Because this is going to be a long f***ing day that you brought me here.”

Her foul-mouthed evidence, revealed in court papers seen by the New York Post, came in defence of a 2011 lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court by Jennifer O’Neill, who claims she is owed more than $393,000, plus damages, for 7,168 hours of overtime.

In her evidence, Lady Gaga claims Jennifer O’Neill, who was paid around $75,000 a year, was given the job as a “favor” because she was majorly underqualified and failed at even the most basic tasks, such as unpacking her bags for her.

Lady Gaga said that her decision not to pay overtime wasn’t based on labor laws, but is “actually based on a bubbly, good heart”, as she insisted: “I’m quite wonderful to everyone that works for me and I am completely aghast to what a disgusting human being that you have become to sue me like this.”

The star claimed that she had treated how the night before her testimony, she treated her employees to a “beautiful $3000 meal” at Spiaggia in Chicago, the only four-star Italian eatery in the Windy City.

Lady Gaga also insisted that all her employees work only an eight-hour day, although she admitted: “This job is a 9-to-5 job that is spaced out throughout the day.

“You don’t get a schedule that is like you punch in and you can play f***ing Tetris at your desk for four hours and then you punch out at the end of the day. This is – when I need you, you’re available.”

Although she said she was in no way discounting how hard an 8-hour work day can be or discounting the role of an assistant, Lady Gaga added: “I do six shows a week and I make a lot of money. I work, I work 24-hours a day. I’m not standing next to Steve holding tea, waiting for him to take a sip, that is now what I do.

“Not that people who do that don’t deserve their hourly pay, but I’m just pointing out that I deserve everything I’ve worked for. I deserve every dollar of it. And she deserves every dollar of her $75,000 that we agreed to. But she does not deserve a penny more.”

Rather than paying off Jennifer O’Neill, Lady Gaga revealed: “I’m going to give all the money that she wants to my employees that work hard for me now that deserve it. I’m not going to give it to her so she can go to Intermix and buy herself a new tube top.”

Lady Gaga told how her relationship with Jennifer O’Neill ended following a trip to Paris, where she walked the runway at Thierry Mugler’s fall 2011 fashion show.

She claimed Jennifer O’Neill “wore my coat when were at the show, she wore my clothes”.

The pair “partied until 5 in the morning, we got s***t hammered, I was crawling on the streets in Paris, I was screaming”.

“Jennifer was there. She hung out all night with me and Terry Richardson and tons of socialites from Paris and she had the time of her life.”

The next morning, Lady Gaga said, she “barely could talk; but had to fly back to America that night”, adding: “I mean, what a rock-star moment, right?”

However, on the flight back, Lady Gaga claimed her assistant insisted on sleeping in the second bed on the private plane and “completely, like, flipped out at me, beyond belief”, when “I told her no”.

She said most of her assistants in the past had always offered the spare bed to guests on the plane – and she claimed that Jennifer O’Neill even refused to share any pillows with two other women on board, saying she was sickened by it.

Lady Gaga claimed: “I said: <<Jennifer, this is really inappropriate in front of Terry Richardson>> and she was like <<Don’t I get some sort of seniority because I’ve been here longer and I’m your friend?>>.

“And I remember those words as clear as day, because when your best friend looks you in the eye and says <<Why can’t I have that seat on your private plane, I’m your friend>>, the first thing I thought was <<You’re not my f***ing friend. You are not my f****ing friend>>.”

Last year, it emerged that Jennifer O’Neill believes Lady Gaga has no right to privacy because she is always exposing her body for the world.

In court papers, she argues the singer’s demands for privacy are “ludicrous” as she always dresses in a bizarre and intimate way.

Her views were revealed as lawyers went back to court last September to seek access to a series of photos taken by famed photographer Terry Richardson for his book Lady Gaga x Terry Richardson.

Lady Gaga refused to hand over the photos saying they are “private and personal”. A judge allowed the pictures to be used – but Lady Gaga’s legal camp asked for the decision to be reconsidered, which is still ongoing.

Lawyers for Jennifer O’Neill say they will show O’Neill was on call all the time.

Sources also claim that Lady Gaga’s camp have already failed to hand over emails which could help Jennifer O’Neill’s case, in discovery before the suit, and are now facing sanctions over this. This could see them face a financial fine and also be banned from presenting parts of their case.
