America’s Recording Academy officials changed the eligibility criteria for the Grammy’s Best New Artist category so that Le Gaga could be included in the pedigreed pool of nominees. The rules state artists nominated in the Best New Artist category must have been nominated for a single the previous year. Since Gaga was “unsuccessful” in obtaining a nomination last year, she was left out of the Best New Artist pool this year… that is until her little monsters got wind of the situation. The public outcry of tweens around the U.S. of A persuaded the Academy to make some much needed amendments. What with the speed that music is created and trends emerge these days, in addition to the already ephemeral nature of pop music, an artist could appear and disappear over night, forget about over the course of two years.

While you ruminate over the previous sentence enjoy footage of Gaga performing “Alejandro” at MSG last night from 2 different angles, lest you miss something.

Here is a snippet from Lady Gaga’s Larry King interview set to air tonight where she discusses “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” and other issues facing the gay community – all in the her newly acquired faux British accent (wink*). Enjoy!

Have two hours to kill? Then queue up this doozy of an interview with the queen of coo coo herself, Lady Gaga. Homegirl puts on her best Madonna-esque faux British accent and candidly talks about her relationship with her fans, her source of inspiration, the tenets of Rainer Maria Rilke, and where her music is heading. A must see for all the “little monsters” out there.

We found her candor and vulnerability in front of the camera especially endearing. Enjoy!

We feel like homegirl is one root touch-up away from being a totally fried pop tart. Have you been noticing it too? She seems over worked and totally over performing live. We included last nights A.I. performance along with this clip of her literally sitting out “Bad Romance” on stage in New Zealand. Rest up girl, you’ve only been around one hot minute and you’re too early in your career to pull a Britney.
