10 THINGS YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT LADY GAGA MEL TURNS TV ASSASSIN!
FAMOUS for her chart-topping dance tunes — and her outlandish fashions — Lady Gaga has taken a recent turn toward the traditional! The 35-year-old artist — whose birth name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta — has belted out standards with beloved crooner Tony Bennett, scored a Best Actress Oscar nod for 2018’s A Star Is Born and took home an Academy Award for the movie’s emotional ballad Shallow. This month, she’s expanding her acting resume as leading lady in the lavish film production House of Gucci. Here are ten things you don’t know about the native New Yorker.
1 When she was 15, she had a cameo in The Sopranos episode The Telltale Moozadell and was listed in the credits as Girl at Swimming Pool No. 2.
2 She graduated from the Convent of the Sacred Heart, an allgirls Roman Catholic school in New York City, where hotel heiress Nicky Hilton was her classmate.
3 In 2005, she was an unwitting contestant on MTV’s prank reality show Boiling Points — and won a $100 prize.
4 She worked as a go-go dancer in NYC while trying to kick-start her music career.
5 She has more than 20 tattoos — including one of David Bowie as he appeared on the cover of his 1973 album, Aladdin Sane.
6 The infamous meat dress she wore to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards comprised more than 40 pounds of flank steak — and was later chemically preserved and put on display at Ohio’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
7 The title for her 2011 single Born This Way was inspired by the late Carl Bean’s 1977 gay pride disco anthem, I Was Born This Way.
8 She’s godmother to the sons of Elton John and David Furnish — Elijah, 8, and Zachary, 10 — who call her Gagamother.
9 Though she’s often appeared in public with blond hair, she’s a natural brunette.
10 Her favorite flowers are white roses.
