Lady Gaga bio is on the way
Was it the crazy headgear? The cage-like dresses? The sculptural hairdos? The multiple Grammy Awards?
Something got the attention of the Overlook Press, which has announced it will publish the first (if unauthorized) biography of Lady Gaga. The book "Lady Gaga: Behind the Fame" will tell the story of 23-year-old Stefani Germanotta, Catholic school girl turned go-go dancer.
Due to hit shelves early next month, the book will be 288 pages, 32 of which will be devoted to photos.
The news release states that this "inspiring story" will be an "intimate look into the music, fashion, art and life of the first Lady of pop."
Don't tell Madonna. Or Beyonce. Or any other contenders for pop's first Lady.
The Overlook Press has published many biographies, focusing on creative types as diverse as William Faulkner, Ewan McGregor, Virginia Wolfe and British singing phenomenon Susan Boyle.
How will its Lady Gaga bio compare?
All I know is I hope it comes in a sparkly, lightning-bolt cage.

Talk about an early summing up! When it hits the shelves, it'll already seem out of date. I just hope that it's well researched and cites it references. More rumor mongering would not help.

OMGAGA!!!! im sooooo excited im definatly going to buy it the day it comes out! i love her so much, she is the most amazing/talented person in the world, for all the haters i dont know why you come read it and leave mean comments it really shows that you have a life and a great job.....(i hope u can sense my sarcasm) they are just normal people who want to have fans, and they work so hard! who cares if you dont like them dont say anything, your just wasting you time and if you really hate them why are you reading about them!? anyways i just find it stupid and if you havnt noticed lady gaga is the top person on facebook right now (like with the most fans) and she dosnt care about the comments she is smart enough to ignore them and know that those haters are just jealous and dont have anything better to do in their "life"

Everybody loves a weirdo...
It's too bad this talented babe is covering-up her real beauty behind her Carol-Channing-high-on-crack look. If you look at photos of her natural appearance (wearing a black bikini at an outdoor concert, for example) you'd probably agree that she's GORGEOUS!!
Lady Gaga, I'm afraid that you run the risk of eclipsing your unbelievable talent with your current look. Please tone it down and focus on your great voice and amazing piano playing. The rest will follow.

Overlook Press should know that there's no such thing as Lady Gaga "behind the fame." Lady Gaga is synonymous with fame; that's a large part of her project is about.
