UK music magazine NME recently released a list of The 10 Most Pretentious Albums Ever and gave Lady Gaga’s Born This Way the dishonor of being number one.

As Lady Gaga prepares for her upcoming Born This Way Ball, she has been keen on getting her little monsters progressively titillated for her return tour that is planned to run from 2012 to 2013.

Mr. and Mrs. Germanotta have teamed up with Oprah Winfrey’s former personal chef, Art Smith, to open a Southern Italian restaurant in New York’s Upper West Side.

Mayor Bloomberg has been quite the fan of Lady Gaga lately. First there was the much buzzed about kiss the two shared on New Years and now he’s jamming to her music for his annual State of the City Address!

“Bad Kids” is a metal-coated pop jam dedicated to well, all bad kids. The ninth single off Lady Gaga’s monumental Born This Way album (released in 2011) was written by Mother Monster in collaboration with producers Fernando Garibay and DJ White Shadow.

Never missing a chance to shock the world with her avant garde tactics and boundary pushing performances, Lady Gaga manages to do it again in a feature spread for Italian Vogue.

In an exclusive interview with Insider, Lady Gaga sat down to chat about her love for Beyoncé, how the only baby in her life will be her next hot album and how she’s embarrassed to cook “for anyone too important.”

In true New York fashion, Lady Gaga and NYC Mayor Bloomberg shared a kiss shortly after bringing in the New Year with the Times Square crowd.

Remember when Lady Gaga showed up at the 2011 Grammys in a prehistoric egg carried by men in gold underwear? Or when a little-known indie artist named Esperanza Spalding enraged millions of teen girls when she stole the “Best New Artist” Grammy limelight from Justin Bieber? 2011 has been filled with such chart-topping phenomenon as Adele’s universal heartbreaker, “Someone Like You,” and education tutorials on the days of the week, courtesy of Miss Rebecca Black. So take a moment and sit tight while we take a peek at 2011′s top Music Moments!

As the New Year quickly approaches, DJ Earworm’s annual mashup of 2011′s hottest pop songs has finally arrived.
