I couldn't speak: Lady Gaga reveals how devastated she was when she heard about Amy Winehouse passing away

Lady Gaga has revealed she was so devastated by Amy Winehouse’s death she couldn’t speak for 48 hours.

The Judas singer appeared on The View chat show, which aired in the U.S. earlier today, and spoke of her grief, even though she never met the Back To Black singer.

She told the panel: ‘I am just so devastated and so sad and I really could not speak for 48 hours straight I was in such shock.’


'Most lovely and kind': Lady Gaga revealed how much she loved Amy, despite never meeting her, as she appeared on The View chat show

Lady Gaga then went on to explain how a lesson should be learnt from the death of the singer, who she described as ‘the most lovely and nice and kind woman’.

She told the ladies of the ABC panel: ‘I think the most unfortunate thing about it all is the way that the media spins things, like we can learn from Amy's death.

‘I don't feel that Amy needed to learn any lessons. I felt that the lesson was for the world to be kinder to the superstar.’

‘Everybody was so hard on her, and everything that I knew about her was that she was the most lovely and nice and kind woman.’

The outspoken singer also said: ‘You know, you can't have it both ways. You can't enjoy listening to someone sing sad songs about the blues and heartbreak and then not expect them to be truly heartbroken.’

Lady Gaga, who is currently on a promotional tour for her new single, spoke about Amy just last week on Omaha 94.1 Radio during an interview where she revealed she was often mistaken for the soul singer before she herself found fame.


Drug problem: The panel discussed the Back to Black singer's battle with drugs and Lady Gaga spoke out about how she managed to quit hard drugs

After hearing the news of Amy’s death Lady Gaga took to Twitter and posted: ‘Amy changed pop music forever, I remember knowing there was hope, and feeling not alone because of her. She lived jazz, she lived the blues.’

Gaga, who has admitted to using hard drugs in the past, said she no longer did drugs apart from being an occasional user of marijuana saying ‘I am a little bit part of the green club’.

She explained how she stopped using hard drugs when her father called her out.

She said: ‘My dad was like, “I know what you're doing, and just so you know, I did it and I lost every friend and everything that I ever had while I did it.” He shared with me his life story and his struggle, so that was what ultimately changed my life. Honestly it was the best thing that happened. I never went back.’

'Don't kill the superstar': Lady Gaga pleads to fans as she speaks out about Amy Winehouse's tragic death

By Sarah Fitzmaurice


Radio appeal: Lady Gaga, who has been on a promotional tour, told fans 'not to kill the superstar' speaking out about Amy Winehouse's tragic death


Lady Gaga has spoken out about the Amy Winehouse’s tragic death and told fans not to ‘kill the superstar’.

The kooky American, who admitted she didn’t know the British soul icon, made her appeal while talking about the Back To Black singer.

The 25-year-old Judas singer said: ‘It's a lesson to the world. Don't kill the superstar, take care of her soul.’


Gaga also said she loved Amy ‘so much’ and revealed that she used to get mistaken for the soul singer before she became famous.

Speaking about Amy, who died on Saturday, Lady Gaga said: ‘I was nobody when she was first coming out. I would be on the street and people would go "Amy"'.

‘I just remember feeling like I wasn't alone because she was so different.’

The Born This Way singer made the comments during an interview on U.S. radio show, Omaha 94.1 Radio yesterday.

She also paid tribute to the singer on her Twitter page and posted: ‘Amy changed pop music forever, I remember knowing there was hope, and feeling not alone because of her. She lived jazz, she lived the blues.’

Amy’s family and friend’s gathered to say their goodbyes to the singer at the funeral service at the Edgwarebury Cemetery in north London today, before making their way to Golders Green crematorium.

Mitch Winehouse told mourners that his tragic daughter had beaten her drug addiction – and had, in fact, conquered her dependency three years ago.

The grieving 60-year-old told mourners at her funeral how the 27-year-old singer had given up drugs despite the fact doctors had said it would be ‘impossible’ for her to beat her addiction.

Mr Winehouse, who broke down in tears at the service, spoke on behalf of his ex-wife Janis and their son Alex and insisted Amy had made a ‘fantastic recovery'.

The family now face a four-week wait to discover how Miss Winehouse actually died following a post-mortem examination and toxicology tests, but are now making plans to set up a foundation in their daughter’s name to help struggling drug addicts.

Mourning together: Many of Amy's close friends and family including Kelly Osbourne and Dionne Bromfield joined together to celebrate the singer's life

Just another day at the office: Lady Gaga whips up kinky costumes and killer heels for New York visit

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Chatterbox: Lady Gaga during her visit to Sirius Studios in New York today


Her face may have been obscured by black lace, save for her eyes and mouth, but Lady Gaga revealed much today during radio broadcasts

The 25-year-old donned the particularly outre, even for her, ensemble for a visit to the Sirius Radio Studios in New York.

Later, as she continued to go from show to show, Gaga changed into PVC thigh boots, upper body catsuit and captain's hat.


Show stopper: The lace reverse balaclava was the most dramatic outfit of the day


That wasn't sufficient for the queen of the costume change, so she bowed out by stepping it down a notch with an almost elegant ensemble for the last portion of her visit.

Her outfit in this instance seemed to be centred around her $9,000 quilted Chanel handbag, and was in marked contrast with her earlier choices.

Her lace fan survived each change, however.

If all these try-hard outfits smack of artifice to you, however, Gaga had a message to send in your direction on the Howard Stern show.


Quick change: Gaga moves into bondage territory, but the fan remains


The singer was at pains to point out that what you see is the real her.

When asked what her closest friends call the Bad Romance star, who was born Stefani Germanotta, she revealed: 'Even my parents call me Gaga, especially when they're mad at me.'

Gaga also opened up about her life before she hit the big time, and told of waitress jobs and turning to drugs.


Exhibitionist: Gaga delighted her fans with each wardrobe change


She issued a warning to her fans: 'To any little sweethearts that are listening ... don't touch [cocaine], it's the devil.'

But she refused to be pigeon holed into a traditional romance with her beau, Luc Carl, who accompanied her to the studios.

She told Stern: 'My first love is music. I got laid last night, the guys who are here are my best friends in the whole world. You're talking about Luc Carl, he's been my best friend since I was 19.'

Lady Gaga calls in police after thousands of fans' personal details are stolen from website

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Composed: Lady Gaga looks glamorous and calm as she arrives at LAX today


Lady Gaga has called in police after her website was hacked, resulting in the theft of thousands of names and email addresses.

Her U.K. site was hacked into by US cyber attackers SwagSec, prompting her record label Universal to take urgent action.

A source told the Mirror newspaper: 'She’s upset and hopes police get to the bottom of how this was allowed to happen.'


Hacked: Lady Gaga's official website


However, the 25-year-old contained all this inner turmoil under an unusually elegant facade as she arrived at LAX today, though by the time she had arrived in New York, it was back to business as usual.

Wearing a long-lace dress, a Gothic Gaga growled at the cameras, perhaps betraying her real feelings after a spate of fresh controversy.

Earlier she'd left Sydney wearing a typically ostentatious rubber outfit, which must've proved too uncomfortable to travel in, even for her.

The cyber attack happened on June 27 but those responsible didn't make the information public until this week.


Run of the mill: Gaga leaves Sydney in a typical outfit


A death threat was also issued against the singer, and the gang then outrageously branded the singer homophobic.

Gaga recently hit back at claims that she's exploiting her gay fan-base, calling suggestions 'ridiculous.'

Universal said yesterday: 'The hackers took a content database dump from www.ladygaga.co.uk and a section of email, first name and last name records were accessed. There were no passwords or financial information taken.'

From Gaga to a Lady: Singer transforms herself mid-flight

By Andrea Magrath


Lady: Singer Lady Gaga arrives in Los Angeles from Sydney looking elegant in a moody yet feminine outfit


She's never been one to adhere to the usual comfortable in-flight clothing most passengers travel in.

But after boarding her flight out of Sydney wearing a leather gown and enormous floppy hat with a peekaboo hole, Lady Gaga's appearance as she arrived at LAX looked downright normal.

The singer emerged from her flight in Los Angeles looking elegant and feminine in a form-fitting dress, pantyhose and heels after changing mid-flight.


Gaga looked rather sombre compared to her usual taste in the moody get-up, which included towering Christian Louboutin heels, a hat and Louis Vuitton case.

She looked like she was emulating the clichéd look of a Mafia wife with the black outfit, long red talons and oversize sunglasses.

It is a rare sight for fans to see the 25-year-old in such regular clothing; the bizarre get-up she wore leaving Australia was far more commonplace in Gaga's wardrobe.

Rare sight: It is not often fans see Gaga looking so normal


The singer looked a little glum after her long-haul flight, despite telling her 11 million Twitter followers that she's landed to the exciting news that her Monster Ball concert special had been nominated for five Emmy awards.

The past 24 hours haven't been all positive though. The singer's account on YouTube has been shut down after she allegedly breached copyright laws.

Gaga's account, which has received a staggering 1.6 billion views, is currently creating fans with the message: 'This account has been suspended due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's copyright policy.'

Gaga: the Born This Way hitmaker left Sydney wearing a bizarre leather dress and enormous floppy hat


According to Time Out Tokyo, it was the video that Gaga posted of her performance on Fuji TV programme SMAP x SMAP in Japan that caused the breach.

In addition, Lady Gaga is currently the target of disability groups who are outraged by her use of a wheelchair as a prop during her Sydney show this week.

During the performance at Sydney Town Hall, Gaga wheeled herself on stage to sing her song You and I. She has previously used a wheelchair in the music video for Paparazzi.

Drama: Lady Gaga is currently at the centre of two controversies, involving her use of a wheelchair as a prop and also a YouTube copyright allegation


In a statement to RadarOnline, Jesse Billauer, founder of the Life Rolls On Foundation, fumed: 'I haven’t seen Lady Gaga’s performance, but respect her artistic expression as an artist.

Since this isn’t the first time she has used a wheelchair in her performances, I invite her to learn more about the 5.6 million Americans who live with paralysis.

'I extend a personal invitation to Lady Gaga to attend one of our Life Rolls On events where quadriplegics and paraplegics surf, skate, and snowboard, so she can see how much is possible beyond a wheelchair.

'Maybe that will be most shocking to her of all. They, like me, unfortunately, don’t use a wheelchair for shock value.'

Has Lady Gaga finally taken things too far? Singer is slammed by disability groups after performing on stage in a wheelchair

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

Artistic or a wheely bad joke? Lady Gaga comes on stage in a wheelchair during her concert at the Sydney Town Hall in Australia last night


She has been criticised for her use of religious symbolism, slammed for some of her song lyrics and had animal rights groups up in arms over her meat dress.

But Lady Gaga might have pushed her critics over the edge last night after she came on stage in Australia in a wheelchair.

The able-bodied star has caused outrage among disability groups after she wheeled herself on in front of 1,000 people at the Sydney Town Hall.


Outrage: But this was not the first time Gaga had used a wheelchair as a prop - and she wasn't the first star to do so either


Six songs into the ten song set, Gaga went off for a costume change and came on in a wheelchair wearing a PVC mermaid tail before launching into her single You And I.

But although her fans went crazy for the performance, it was met with disapproval from some disability organisations and advocacy groups.

In a statement to RadarOnline, Jesse Billauer, founder of the Life Rolls On Foundation, fumed: 'I haven’t seen Lady Gaga’s performance, but respect her artistic expression as an artist.


That's torn it: Gaga arrived at Sydney Airport with what looked like a huge rip in her black and white floppy straw hat


'Since this isn’t the first time she has used a wheelchair in her performances, I invite her to learn more about the 5.6 million Americans who live with paralysis.

'I extend a personal invitation to Lady Gaga to attend one of our Life Rolls On events where quadriplegics and paraplegics surf, skate, and snowboard, so she can see how much is possible beyond a wheelchair.

'Maybe that will be most shocking to her of all. They, like me, unfortunately, don’t use a wheelchair for shock value.'



Bye bye my Little Monsters: Gaga is besieged by eager fans as she left her Sydney hotel


Having failed to make a comment about her wheelchair stunt, Gaga jetted out of Sydney this morning.

And unlike other stars on long-haul flights who opt for comfy clothes for the journey, Gaga left the country in a black leather dress and towering Louboutin heels.

But it was her hat that stood out as she got out of her car and made her way to the terminal blowing kisses to her fans.

The huge black and white straw hat appeared to have a huge rip in it, which she looked out of as she walked through the airport.

Little Monsters! Lady Gaga gets eggs thrown at her as she leaves a club in Sydney after night of partying

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Mobbed: Lady Gaga got swarmed by fans as she left a nightclub in Sydney, Australia last night


She is used to fans screaming and cheering her name, desperate to get close enough to touch her.

But last night Lady Gaga was the victim of some much more negative attention.

The singer had eggs thrown at her as she tried to leave the ARQ night club in Sydney, Australia, after a night of partying.


Good night: Gaga smiled as she made her way back to the car accompanied by a team of bodyguards


Despite the crazy situation, which didn't actually see the 25-year-old get hit by the projectiles,Gaga maintained her composure and kept a big smile on her face as she was escorted through the crowd to a waiting car.

However, one man in the crowd was in fact hit by and egg.

The Born This Way singer rocked a risqué black leather outfit which left little to the imagination as she spent the night bar-hopping in the Australian city.

Daring Down Under: Lady Gaga is a surreal vision in a monochrome outfit - with matching buns - as she jets in to Australia

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN


Black and white beauty: Lady Gaga struts across the runway at Sydney Airport in a monochrome creation after landing in Australia


It's not like Lady Gaga to make a subtle and quiet entrance.

And this morning was no exception for the star as she touched down in Sydney, Australia in a black and white creation that only she could pull off with daring aplomb.

The Born This Way star was a surreal vision in a long figure-hugging white dress with puffed sleeves.


Watch your step! Gaga steadily navigates her way down the private jet's steps in her towering platform heels


She teamed the stunning frock with her trademark towering platform heels, white rimmed sunglasses and elbow-length black gloves.

She had also done her hair to match her outfit in black and white buns on top of her head as she waved at fans as she strutted across the tarmac.

And as soon as she arrived, she took to her Twitter page and wrote: 'Just landed in Australia! I'm so happy to be back. Can't wait to perform my new album at Monsterhall! I missed this beautiful place so much.'


Grand arrival: Gaga makes it to the bottom of the stairs - with a bouncer on standby at the bottom - before posing by the plane for the cameras


And ever the pop superstar, Gaga was whisked through the airport and straight to a black limo that took her to the city's Four Seasons Hotel.

Gaga is in Australia to promote her new album Born This Way and to perform a one-off, private concert at Sydney Town Hall for 1,000 lucky guests this coming Wednesday.

Fans had to enter a special draw through Facebook to win tickets for the show, which is reported to be costing £700,000 to stage, and post a picture showing how much they love Gaga.

The singer has hired Sydney decorator Alex Zabotto-Bentley to create a series of rooms for the VIP area and green rooms, but when asked about what they would look like, he told the press he has been sworn to secrecy.

The singer, real name Stefani Germanotta, will also be taking in some sightseeing while she is Down Under.

But she will also use her time there to promote the album and reports in Australia have suggested that A Current Affair's Tracy Grimshaw has managed to land the first interview with the singer to be broadcast live on Monday night.

Gaga for The Simpsons? Singer takes inspiration from Marge, opting for a giant neon green conehead like animated star

By NADIA MENDOZA

Don't topple over: Lady Gaga steps out in her wackiest hairstyle to date, with a pair of strange sunglasses, at Singapore press conference


She certainly wasn't Born This Way, but Lady Gaga has taken inspiration from kooky animated character Marge Simpson.

The Paparazzi singer showcased a giant green conehead during a press conference in Singapore, ahead of her concert at the Marina Bay Sands.

Her neon hairdo appeared to weigh her down, with the 25-year-old reclining on a sofa for the duration of the event.

Although, judging from her footwear, her diva demands to stay seated on a leather throne may have largely been due to her heel-less platforms.

The New Yorker tottered along in gravity-defying shoes, decorated with metal studs, a beige PVC wedge and plastic casing.


Lady of leisure: Singer reclines on a sofa during a press conference in Singapore


She teamed the hair and shoes with an ill-fitting dress that appeared to be made from cheap felt and raided from a dressing-up box.

The shapeless item - along with her white gloves - were also reminiscent of fictional characters, this time instead of Springfield inhabitants though, it was Toy Story's Mr Potato Head and Disney's Mickey Mouse.


Green with envy: Lady Gaga showcases a Marge Simpson inspired hairstyle


During her conference, Gaga looked happy and in high spirits with plenty of smiles and posing.

But when she was awarded with a plaque in recognition of her digital album and CD sales from the President of Universal Music Group International, Sandy Monteiro, she looked decidedly bored.


Conehead: Marge pictured with Charlie Heathbar, voiced by Ricky Gervais, and his son during a wife-swap reality show episode


Notably, she had to stand to accept the prize so perhaps she was struggling to stay upright in the enormous platforms.

Earlier this week, the popstar, real name Stefani Germanotta, stepped out again in typically unsuitable daily attire.

Gaga opted for another pair of towering shoes and a black lace cat suit as she headed to a yoga studio in Taiwan.
