Lady Gaga :: Threaten for invalid issue


Pop Singer Lady Gaga has threatened to sue the owners of an ice cream parlour in London for producing a flavour made from human breast milk, titled Baby Gaga.
Attorneys representing the singer have sent a legal letter to bosses at Icecreamists in the U.K. capital's Covent Garden warning them to change the name of the bizarre concoction.
In the document, Gaga's lawyers accuse store owner Matt O'Connor of riding on the pop star's "coattails" to promote a product which is "deliberately provocative and, to many people, nausea-inducing." The letter adds, "The references you are making to Lady Gaga are thus clearly deliberate and intended to take advantage of her reputation and good will... Associating the Lady Gaga mark with a food product which may be unsafe for human consumption (owing to the risk of it carrying such viruses as hepatitis) is also highly detrimental."
However, O'Connor insists he has been unfairly targeted, calling the legal threat "preposterous and outrageous".
He tells Britain's Evening Standard, "We think this is very unnecessary, the whole thing will be over by next week, but we are prepared to fight this in court... This is a David versus Goliath battle I'm convinced we will eventually win. The world's biggest superstar has taken umbrage with the world's smallest ice-cream parlour. For Lady Gaga to accuse us of stealing her image is laughable when you consider how much she has borrowed from popular culture to create her look and music. She also seems to have forgotten that since the dawn of time the word gaga has been one of the first discernible phrases to come from a baby's mouth. This is why we chose the name."


"As for her assertion that our product is distasteful, perhaps she should reflect on her blood-spurting performance at the Mtv Video Music Awards, or the fact she wears clothes fabricated from the flesh of dead animals. We have applied to register the trademark Baby Gaga and are confident we'll secure this."

Lady Gaga : repeal the military rule banning openly gay people from the armed forces

Lady Gaga, 24, described herself as "a voice for my generation" and urged her millions of fans to help overturn the policy which allows gay men and women to serve in the military as long as they keep their sexual orientation private.
The U.S. Senate is expected to vote on Tuesday on whether to begin debate on the annual Defense Department authorization bill, which includes language aimed at ending the Clinton-era "don't' ask, don't tell" policy.
The vote is expected to be close. The U.S. House of Representatives has already voted to repeal it.
In the black and white video, which is over 7 minutes long, Gaga sits in front of an American flag wearing a demure dark tie, white blouse and dark blazer.
"I am here to be a voice for my generation," Gaga, 24, said in the YouTube video. "Not the voice of the generation of the senators who are voting, but for the youth of this country -- the generation affected by this law and whose children will be affected."
Calling the law unconstitutional, she urged her fans to call senators in their district.

She also asked followers on Twitter to make their own videos supporting equal rights
.
"Tweet me your video and I will post them,"
     
The Grammy-winning performance artist has both flaunted, and been outspoken on, the topic of sexuality and has openly courted gays and lesbians at her concerts.

Last weekend, she walked the red carpet at the MTV Music Video Awards with four gay veterans as her dates.
Gaga also posted the video on her personal website, her Facebook Fan Page and her Twitter account.
  Gaga whose hits include "Bad Romance" and "Alejandro", has over 18 million fans on Facebook and more than 6 million followers on Twitter.
She burst onto the music scene two years ago, is no stranger to controversy.
  On Sunday  MTV awards show and in live shows she has set her piano on fire and smeared herself with fake blood.
