Gaga for a new one

Just when you thought all notions of “the pop star” were dead, uber-force Lady Gaga announces her new album is nearly finished. The record, however, will not be released until early 2011, yet its title will be revealed by Gaga at midnight on New Year’s Eve (yes, even then there’ll be avid fans letting go of their bated breath rather than keeping on with turn-of-the-hour NY celebrations). “I think I’m gonna get the album title tattooed on me and put out the photo,” Gaga told ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine. She also said the new material will feature a far more outspoken “political bent”. Until those mad ga-ga-ah-ah-ah-er remixes come along.
