Welcome to Guinness: Lady Gaga Impersonators Set Gaga-stic World Record

It's a gathering of the Gagas. Lovers and imitators of pop star Lady Gaga got together in Los Angeles on Sunday, setting a Guinness World Record for the largest congregation of Lady Gaga impersonators. Some 121 fans of the "Poker Face" singer assembled outside the Grammy Awards dressed in a number of unique outfits that have inspired a "Bad Romance" between Gaga and fashion critics.

El DeBarge Heads to Rehab; Highlights From His Career So Far [VIDEOS]

R&B singer El DeBarge has canceled his upcoming tour and checked himself into rehab, saying that "it is necessary for me to take the time to work on me."

Surge Desk takes a look back at DeBarge's long musical career. 1. "Rhythm of the ...

Cee Lo Green, Muppets and Gwyneth Paltrow: Weirdest Grammy Mashup Ever? [VIDEOS]

It's a crazy, mixed-up world. Following what has become a Grammy Awards tradition, the show's producers announced this year's mashups in which artists spanning different genres and generations will share the stage for one-of-a-kind performances. While the collaborations can sometimes result in inspired moments, as was the case when Lady Gaga and Elton John teamed up at the 2010 Grammys, just as often they disappoint (see the show's cringe-worthy all-star tribute to Sly Stone). This year, the mashups include some fairly intuitive pairings: Dr. Dre will reunite with Eminem, and Bob Dylan will ...

Besides walking around pants-less, winning a bunch of Grammys and selling out stadium concerts, Lady Gaga has also been keeping herself busy as the creative director of Polaroid over the past year. And today, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Gaga also played the pitchwoman, taking to the stage to unveil a pair of sunglasses that do more than just block out "Paparazzi." "This is the first-ever pair of sunglasses that can be worn out to protect your eyes from the sun and they can also take pictures [and video]," Gaga said.
