Courtney Love plus Britney Spears equals Lady Gaga?
Lady Gaga played Staples Center in Los Angeles on Wednesday, and we couldn't help but be reminded of two other lady singers who've dominated headlines in the past.
Do you see it?
Gaga, incidentally, is still in Los Angeles for another show Thursday night. Please, share your thoughts in comments.

I always thought Lady Gaga was more of a cross between Britney Spears and Marilyn Manson but this makes sense too. I totally saw Courtney in Gaga at Lollapalooza.

Interesting observation, Christie, and plausible, although I also like Spears/Manson posited by Julie. Where DO you come up with this stuff?
