Lady Gaga To Preview New Song At Paris Fashion Show

Gaga tweets that she’ll give a sneak peek of song Wednesday’s Thierry Mugler show. By Gil Kaufman Lady Gaga Photo: Stephen Lovekin/ Getty Images Lady Gaga has found the perfect forum to unleash some of her new music. The singer who has made outrageous fashion a huge part of her identity tweeted on Monday that she plans to preview some material from her upcoming Born This Way album on Wednesday at a Paris fashion show by Thierry Mugler. “I’m the musical director for the MUGLER fashion show,” she told her little monsters. () “I’m remixing/previewing a record on Born This Way , tailored for the show + garments.” She did not specify which song she would be previewing. The news is the latest tease of information about the eagerly awaited album, which is due out on May 23. According to identity Women’s Wear Daily, Gaga got the gig because Mugler’s new creative director is Nicola Formichetti, the designer who came up with Gaga’s infamous “meat dress” for the MTV VMAs last year. Formichetti told WWD that Gaga will serve as musical director for one of the most anticipated debuts of Men’s Fashion Week, which runs through January 23. This isn’t the first time she’s used a Paris runway to launch new music: Gaga premiered “Bad Romance” at Alexander McQueen’s show in 2009. Gaga also tweeted photos of her two 2010 Grammys, which she said were just delivered to her house by her dad. The awards for Best Electronic/Dance Album ( The Fame ) and Best Dance Recording (“Poker Face”), immediately took up residence in an important space in the singer’s home. “Look what just arrived from last year!” she wrote. “My dad put them on the piano I studied on for 14yrs.” The 24-year-old singer is up for six Grammys at next month’s awards show, which will air on February 13, the same day she is set to release the first single from her new album. She is also performing on the program, along with Eminem, Cee Lo Green, Katy Perry, Arcade Fire and Miranda Lambert. Related Photos The Evolution Of: Lady Gaga Related Artists Lady Gaga

I Wish This Was: Dreaming Of A Better Place

Designer Candy Chang complains that New Orleans is full of vacant storefronts; she notes that her neighbourhood is still without a grocery store.

‘America’s Next Top Model’ Coach Miss J Recalls Big Break On ‘When I Was 17’

‘I put on this attitude,’ the runway trainer says of his Jean Paul Gaultier encounter as a teen. By Jocelyn Vena Miss J Photo: MTV News These days, Miss J is as recognizable to people outside the fashion community as he is to those inside, thanks to his signature walk and sassy attitude displayed week after week as a runway coach on “America’s Next Top Model.” But when he was a teenager, he was just trying to figure out how to pronounce Jean-Paul Gaultier’s name. “When I was 17, I became very into the fashion world,” he recalls on this week’s episode of “When I Was 17,” which also features “Hills” alum Audrina Patridge and Cee Lo Green. “So one day, my friend said, ‘Oh my God, I just read in The New York Times that designer Jean-Paul Gaultier is coming to New York, and he’s doing a fashion show. He’s using models from the street. Maybe you should go see him.’ And I didn’t know who he was.” Besides not knowing who the French designer was, he also didn’t think he had what it took to model. “And I thought, ‘Model?’ ” he recalled, noting that he didn’t think he was “perfect” enough for that career. ” ‘My skin’s too dark, my nose is too wide, my lips are too full.’ But I thought, ‘Why not?’ “I went to Bergdorf Goodman for the casting,” he continued. “There was hundreds of people waiting. I thought to myself, ‘What’s gonna make me stand out?’ and I just thought, ‘Be yourself, personality.’ I had nothing else to sell.” His encounter with the designer was a bit rocky, but it all worked out in the end, thanks to his signature strut. “When I got to see him, he said, ‘Hello.’ And I said, ‘Hello.’ He put me in clothing, and I remember I wasn’t wearing underwear that day. I wasn’t wearing panties, but I hid in the corner, put on the outfit and I put on this attitude… but I got the show.” “When I Was 17” — this week featuring Cee Lo, Audrina Patridge and Miss J — premieres Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV.
