Gaga: New York is my husband

Lady Gaga thinks the city of New York, where she was born and raised, is her husband.

The 'Born This Way' hitmaker explained she watched the collapse of the city's twin towers on September 11, 2001, from the roof of her school as she held the hands of her friends, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

'I watched the towers fall from the roof of my school, holding all my best friends. I don't know ... just, my affinity and my love and the relationship I have with New York City - it's like the husband I never married,' she said.

'I wrote so many songs on this for my new album about New York City. I mean, every song on all my albums has some relationship to New York city, but one in particular 'Marry The Night,' that record is about my husband, New York,' she added.

Ra One: Shah Rukh Khan keen to work with Lady Gaga

Be it the Gandhi or the Gaga way, superstar Shah Rukh Khan is set to reinvent himself and take on all his competitors with the 'biggest movie' made yet in Bollywood - Ra. One. Speaking at the launch of a new marketing book, King Khan said he was in talks with the international sensation Lady Gaga about collaborating on a song.

"I don't listen to ragas anymore, now I listen to Lady Gaga," Khan told the 300-strong audience at the event. "My son and daughter have converted me from Saturday night fever to Justin Bieber." Ahead of the release of Ra. One, his newest film and which he claims to be India's biggest movie, Khan said he had been speaking to Gaga's manager about possibly working together.

"I've been chatting up with her about a song I want to do with her, and her manager said 'Lady Gaga wants to introduce you to her audience and she wants to be introduced to your audience'," Khan said. "So one can say she believes in pure, simple and wonderful business," the superstar added.

Using his characteristic humour to keep the audience entertained - the actor even threatened to use a Gaga technique and begin undressing if his speech got too boring - Khan even boiled his ethos down to the focal point of the book he was launching - the art of selling.

"I believe everything should be sold. Even life doesn't come for free," the 46-year-old actor said. " I'm a proud seller of dreams, that's why you can buy me, you can pay for me to come to a wedding, you can tell me to stand over here on my head, to entertain people... I will even sell my body if it makes someone smile." Shah Rukh was speaking at the launch of the book Thorns to Competition by IIPM's Arindam and Rajita Chaudhuri.

Honorary director of the IIPM thinktank and also a film producer, Arindam, said the book was the result of four years of his wife's research into the most 'exciting' part of business: marketing.

"A satisfied consumer is a marketing man's worst nightmare because then I lie awake at night wondering how I'll sell you my next product," dressed in a characteristically flamboyant white suit, Chaudhari told the crowd.

"It's all about going to the market and smashing the competition," the businessman added.

Pointing to models as varied as Shahrukh and tobacco companies, Chaudhari said: "The key to marketing was marking out your own space in the competition.

"If a company is successful, it is because it has bought space in your mind. That's what all the best are trying to do now," Chaudhuri said.

Chaudhuri's wife Rajita, who co-authored the book and is also a faculty member at IIPM, pointed out that even Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi had to draw inspiration from marketing techniques to sell his ideas to India.

"He too had to reinvent himself, he used to dress like an English lawyer, but he changed, dropped that... he understood that he would never be able to sell armed fights in the streets to Indians," she said. "It's the power of being aggressive. You have to stand out, look out, shout out - or be shut out.

BEST OF 2010 : Lady GaGa’s Missing Penis !

During simpler, more innocent times, there existed a rumor that Lady GaGa was born a hermaphrodite and therefore had both male and female genitalia. Cut to the 2010 Brit Awards where her stage outfit revealed almost entirely hatchet wound and not a single trace of man-wiener. None of you believed your eyes, so you clicked these photos millions of times in what I can only assume was a frantic effort to make a penis appear. “Honey, just leave dinner on the stove. I’m not sleeping until I find that cock.

Lady Gaga Gingerbread Gals: Cookies Inspired by Gaga’s Greatest Fashions !

The kids and I decorated gingerbread men today. We used Martha Stewart’s Gingerbread Snowflake recipe, which cooks up firm and peppery & perfectly delicious. There was music on the radio. The family gathered round. For all intents and purposes, it was a typical family Christmas activity. At least, it was until we decided that our plain-old gingerbread men needed a bit of boom-boom . Traditional looking gingerbread girls wouldn’t do, either. After all, we had bacon in the fridge and ‘Bad Romance’ blaring from the speakers while 8-year-old, Jacob, pop-and- locked some rock-awesome moves on the linoleum. Straight up.

So, we gave our dang cookies some serious style. Those gingerbread people turned into gingerbread ladies–Gingerbread Lady Gaga’s–that is, each one inspired by some of Gaga’s most memorable looks throughout the years. Which, I happen to think makes them freaky adorable. I’ve been keeping an eye out for paparrazzi. We wouldn’t, after all, want them to chase down our gingerbread gals. As it turns out, we’re already k-kinda busy (eating them up.)
