Nicki, Nicki, Nick, tsk, tsk, tsk…
After posting Nicki Minaj’s new Lil Kim diss video “Stupid Hoe”, we realized that there were a LOT of similarities between the colorful clip, and several other pop-star videos in recent memory.
Take a look at the pic below and tell us if you see what we see…
Looks to us like Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and UK singer Jessie J all have a bone to pick with the freaky, face-making’, MC AND the video director Hype Williams!

Around this time last year when Lady Gaga released “Born This Way,” music enthusiasts from all over noted that the single reminded them of Madonna‘s 90′s hit “Express Yourself.” Turns out, Madonna was thinking the same thing!
Now that Madonna is prepping the release of her next album “M.D.N.A.” the Pop diva has finally weighed in on the controversy, and had some choice words for Lady Gaga in a new interview with ABC’s 20/20.
“I certainly think she references me a lot in her work. And sometimes I think it’s amusing and flattering and ...
REMEMBER when Lady GaGa released Born This Way? Everyone had an opinion on it. People said it was brilliant, others said it was awful. The subplot to it all was: Did it matter that it leaned on Madonna’s Express Yourself so heavily?
Of course, Madge’s fans were apoplectic with rage, while GaGa fans didn’t care. But what does Madonna think about it all? Well, oddly enough, she has just passed judgement on it, vaguely showing her claws about it all.
Madonna said in an interview:
“I thought ‘what a wonderful way to redo my song’.”
And she didn’t stop there, adding to Newsweek:
“I mean, I recognised the chord changes. I thought it was… interesting.”
Naturally, GaGa isn’t the first person to lean on a song she likes. Look at the myriad of songs that stole from/was inspired by Chuck Berry’s back catalogue. Look at the way ‘Surfin’ Bird’ leaned on two whole songs called ‘Papa Oo Mow Mow’ and ‘The Bird Is The Word’ by The Rivingtons. Look at the way every 90s song seem to rip-off at least one Pixies track at one point.
Music has always been a magpie. It’s not like Madonna hasn’t been accused of stealing other people’s art in the past, is it? There’s a whole website dedicated to exactly that (which you can see here if you’re at all interested in that sort of thing).
Fact is, Madonna is invariably not too fussed about the whole GaGa thing, leaving the scraps and catcalls to her fans who, it has to be said, need to lighten up a little.
Could you imagine Lady Gaga as a real mother……with real, live children?
The Pop star, who calls herself ‘Mother Monster,’ recently expressed her desire to have children in an interview with The Insider, however, she says don’t expect her to make any big pregnancy announcements anytime soon.
“Someday. A long, long day from now. Not soon. My baby will be my new record,” the ‘Marry the Night’ singer, who is currently believed to be dating Vampire Diaries star Taylor Kinney, said.
Gaga also talked about her dedication to her career, explaining, “I wake up in the morning with tears ...
Lady Gaga was among the entertainers who lent their musical talents to help bring in the year 2012 in New York City’s Times Square.
After emerging from a huge, black glittery dress, the Pop star performed a medley of her latest album’s tracks including “Heavy Metal Lover,” “Marry the Night,” and the title track “Born This Way” for “ABC’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest.”
Following her performance set, Gaga put on a huge sparkly mask and changed into a silver gown, and helped Mayor Bloomberg count down to the big ball drop.
