Sure, Lady Gaga dons a bunch of crazy outfits and dances her ass off in the new video for "Bad Romance," but what we really care about: The return of Lava, the Great Dane whose son was found dead last month.
As TMZ previously reported, Lava and son Rumpus were featured in Gaga's videos for "Paparazzi," "Love Game" and "Poker Face," but Rumpus died unexpectedly in October after a hike in Los Angeles.
Like a true professional, Lava carried on without her pup ... and managed to pull it together for the 8 second appearance above.
Appropriately dressed for absolutely nothing, Lady GaGa, 23, and fashion designer Betsey Johnson, 67, vogued for the cameras at the same event in NYC last night.
There is an investigation under way into the mysterious death of an actor who starred in multiple Lady Gaga music videos -- a 5-year-old Great Dane named Rumpus.
Rumpus, who was featured in the videos for Poker Face, Love Game and Paparazzi, was found dead earlier this month after a hike in Los Angeles. But Rumpus' owner, Suzzane Kelleher-Duckett, tells TMZ the champion show dog had no signs of injury and appeared to be in perfect health.
An autopsy was performed a few days ago -- results are expected soon.
Rumpus was supposed to appear in Gaga's upcoming video for "Bad Romance" -- but we're told only Rumpus' mother Lava (pictured left) will now do the gig.
For the second week in a row, "Saturday Night Live" has let one of the seven words you can't say on television slide right on past the censors.
Lady Gaga's performance was the s**t -- but she also belted out the "profane" four-letter word during the show, and it wasn't bleeped on the East Coast.
But here's the catch -- neither SNL nor NBC will have to pay a single cent to the FCC for the S-bomb because it happened during a designated "safe harbor" time period.
According to the FCC website, "Indecent or profane speech that is broadcast between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. is not actionable."
Last week, newcomer Jenny Slate dropped the frickin' f-bomb.
If Kanye West doesn't regret hijacking Taylor Swift, he will now -- we're told his concert tour with Lady Gaga was scrapped because ticket sales sucked. And "sucked" happens to be a nicer version of the word we were told.
And not only that -- our insiders say another factor in the cancellation was West and Gaga's people were at each others throats like their last names were Gosselin.
When it came down do it, we're told Gaga decided she'd be better off playing smaller venues ... and far from the headache caused by Kanye's ever present drama.
Good news Taylor Swift fans -- Kanye West's "Fame Kills" tour with Lady Gaga has been canceled.
Despite the fact that a rep from Live Nation told us YESTERDAY that the concert was still a go ... Nation announced they were pulling the plug on the tour today, which was scheduled to kick off in November.
No reason was given -- but the VMA backlash and Kanye's upcoming criminal court date could have been factors.
Lady Gaga is in the middle of a million dollar lawsuit messier than her blood-soaked VMA performance.
An Irish entertainment company called "Grooveyard" claims they were looking to book talent for October concerts in Belfast and Dublin, when they struck a deal with a NY-based company claiming to rep Lady Gaga.
In the lawsuit, Grooveyard claims they shelled out $320,000 to book Gaga -- but now they believe the guy who took the check may not rep Gaga after all. Here's why:
Grooveyard claims after they began promoting Gaga's shows -- mega-promoters AEG Live hit them with a cease and desist letter, stating AEG has the sole authority to book Lady G.
So now, Grooveyard is pissed, confused ... and demanding their money back in a million-dollar lawsuit filed in NY State court.
What's the lesson here? Don't give someone $320,000 unless you know -- for sure -- who they are.
One Australian DJ stuck her nose right into Lady Gaga's business live on the air -- asking about a rumor most people wouldn't touch with a ten foot, er, pole -- that GaGa's a "hermaphrodite?!"
The question comes after a viral video popped up on the net from one of Gaga's concerts, in which one of the shots briefly makes it look like, well, she's more of a Finkle than an Einhorn.
So on the The Matt and Jo Show in Melbourne, Australia ... they went for it, asking her straight up -- what's going on with your "crotch?"
Here is Lady Gaga attempting a more solemn and demure look in Israel earlier this month (left) -- and a blonde, hooded and pancaked Lil' Kim ten years earlier in 1999 (right).
Anderson Cooper was outed as a Lady GaGa fan last night -- and the eternally short-shorted Richard Simmons didn't miss a beat challenging him to a "Just Dance" dance-off.
Cooper didn't take the bait, but the 100% authentic awkwardness is just as entertaining ... if not more.
It's 23-year-old bottle blonde dance diva Lady GaGa.
GaGa went to NYC all-girls Catholic school Convent of the Sacred Heart, whose notable alumni include Gloria Vanderbilt, Caroline Kennedy and Paris Hilton.
Americans aren't the only ones who think Lady GaGa dresses like a hooker -- Russian cops reportedly mistook our Lady (of the Night) for a streetwalker while she was posing for photos in Moscow's Red Square.
GaGa, who was wearing a leather leotard at the time - don't ask - asked her driver to stop at the historic site to take photos of her (because apparently she was proud of what she was wearing) when suspicious cops approached, out of nowhere, and called a halt to the dubious operation.
Eventually, GaGa got her barely covered ass outta Russia and over to Australia ... where even more people will mistake her for a prostitute.
Like a true professional, Lava carried on without her pup ... and managed to pull it together for the 8 second appearance above.
