Lady Gaga premiered her latest music video last night on So You Think You Can Dance (or was supposed to, and it apparently got cut off or something? I don’t watch that show). Regardless, it’s all over the internet today. There is something weirdly ’80s/low-budget/tame about the stripped down video, but what really separates it from past Gaga videos is the lack of outfit changes–in fact, there are none–Gaga wears the same revealing studded black leather vintage Versace number throughout. Granted, it is a pretty special piece–we have it confirmed, and are surprised to hear, that this is the first time Donatella has ever opened her archives to collaborate on a music video. Donatella said of the collaboration: Read more »

Fashion News Roundup: James Franco Shot Agyness Deyn for Elle, Celine Reissues Old Faves and Forbes‘ Best-Paid Celebs
Celine to Reissue the Classics: The brand is taking six of Phoebe Philo’s best ensembles and re-releasing them in new color palettes: aqua cuffs on a button-down and a cobalt blue tuxedo pop out and scream “Buy me! I’m available in July at Bergdorfs, Jeffrey New York, Barneys and Kirna Zabete!” {The Moment}
James Franco, Photographer? Franco has been looking to break into new forms of art/self expression and is now adding photographer to his ever-expanding repertoire. In a collaboration with Joe Zee, Franco shot Agyness Deyn for a spread in Elle. If it’s anything like those strange videos the two filmed last year, it should be quite interesting. {WWD}

Quote of the Day: Kathleen Hanna Says Lady Gaga’s No Pants Routine is Lame
By Mickie Meinhardt“I mean, is it really that different when it’s a skinny white woman in a bathing suit singing these things? None of these women ever wear pants, first of all. Second of all, just because you’re wearing a goofy hat doesn’t make it performance art. I mean, that’s just my feeling about it. A lot of the music just sounds like bad Euro disco, though that first Ke$ha song “TiK ToK” was good. But (Katy Perry’s) “I Kissed a Girl” was just straight-up offensive. The whole thing is like, I kissed a girl so my boyfriend could masturbate about it later. It’s disgusting. It’s exactly every male fantasy of fake lesbian porn. It’s pathetic. And she’s not a good singer. I don’t want to trash other women.”
Last night’s CFDA Awards were a decidedly star-studded affair, what with Lady Gaga, Kanye West, Sofia Coppola, Jessica Alba, Gerard Butler, Naomi Watts, and host Anderson Cooper spending time on the stage. Cooper had to leave early because of “that Weiner thing,” or so Diane von Furstenberg said, but otherwise the audience received plenty of face time with their star of choice–there were even a couple of moments when one could forget this was, you know, a fashion industry event. But only a couple.

Lady Gaga at the CFDA Awards: She Showed Her Nipples, Wore a Studded Thong and Once Called Anna Wintour a Bitch Via Text
By Cheryl WischhoverLady Gaga received the Fashion Icon award at last night’s CFDA Fashion Awards ceremony, and her outfit didn’t disappoint, at least from a visual shock value perspective. She wore a custom Mugler outfit and 24-inch heel-less platforms. The long train on the Mugler proved to be removable, because she accepted her award on stage in a bodysuit with a spiked thong. The bustier was precariously placed, and she managed to flash some nipple on the purple carpet, which we highly doubt was accidental. Read more »
If you’ve been following photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin’s Tumblr you know that the duo have been working on photographing CFDA nominees and models for this year’s CFDA journal. Our favorite shot is still the back of Anja Rubik’s big hair, held up by sheets of cardboard and clips.
Today, the famed photog duo have released several official finished portraits of designer nominees. According to WWD, Inez tried to get everyone to strip down for their portraits. Shockingly, Marc Jacobs is the only nom to have been photographed shirtless.
Take a look at Inez and Vinoodh’s CFDA portraits–they just released one of Kristen Mcmenamy looking a little pissed off with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth.

Watch: Lady Gaga, Wearing Nothing But a Viktor and Rolf Leather Jacket, Asks Dave Letterman Who “Styles” Him (and Then She Eats Paper)
By Leah ChernikoffWere you wondering who on earth would wear Viktor and Rolf‘s fall collection? The collection that was worn by models who had their faces painted bright red (face paint that may or may not have sent Lindsey Wixson home with an allergic reaction)? Because it’s obviously Lady Gaga. She wore one of Viktor and Rolf’s leather jackets with starburst epaulet’s on Letterman last night, a mask, some crazy eye makeup and very little else. “I only liked the jacket, so I decided that’s all I would wear,” Gaga explains to Dave when he asks, confusedly, “What are you wearing? I mean, what aren’t you wearing?”
The hilarious interview continues from there. Read more »
