The cookiest, weirdest, most-outrageous images pop up in my head at the mere mention of this diva’s name because that’s Lady Gaga for you. 

But before she became … err … Lady Gaga (c’mon, obviously that’s not the name christened by her parents!), she was Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (Bet Gaga seems more apt eh :P). It’s hard to believe Gaga was superficially normal too – not that’s she abnormal now, but less of the meat-dress or 12 inch stilettos etc.

So, Gaga wasn’t always gaga – eitherway, that won’t stop us from going gaga over Gaga.
