Lady Gaga will make a guest appearance on the new Chic album! During an interview with The Washington Post, the band's founding member Nile Rodgers revealed that Gaga will be among the artists to be featured on the record, due out later this year.

Gaga first collaborated with Rodgers when she covered Chic's 1979 disco classic "I Want Your Love" in a video preview for Tom Ford's 2016 spring/summer collection. The two later teamed up again to pay tribute to the late David Bowie at this year's Grammy awards.

Lady Gaga marked the end of her 20s with an epic birthday party at No Name restaurant in Hollywood on Saturday night. Guests at the star-studded event included Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Kate Hudson, Kylie Minogue, Nick Jonas, Lorde, John Legend, Pharrell, Kathy Bates and more.

The birthday girl looked stunning in a metallic gold dress as she arrived at the party accompanied by her fiancé Taylor Kinney.

"Why is it that we're disposing of people once they pass that mark," Gaga told Billboard of turning thirty. "It's suddenly, 'You're an old woman.' I'm not f–king old. I'm more sexual and powerful and intelligent and on my shit than I've ever been. I've come a long way through a lot of heartache and pain, but none of it made me damaged goods. It made me a fighter. I want to show women they don't need to try to keep up with the 19-year-olds and the 21-year-olds in order to have a hit. Women in music, they feel like they need to f–king sell everything to be a star. It's so sad. I want to explode as I go into my thirties."

Lady Gaga was born on March 28th, 1986 in New York City.

Lady Gaga was spotted at Daily's Fashion Los Angeles Awards in West Hollywood on Sunday night. Mother Monster looked beautiful in a Saint Laurent gown as she arrived at the event to receive the "Editor of the Year" award for her work on V Magazine's pre-spring issue.

"We are absolutely thrilled to honour Lady Gaga with this award," said The Daily's editor-in-chief Brandusa Niro. "She is an enormous talent and one of the most complex and astonishing artists of our time. We celebrate her tremendous contributions to music, fashion, film, and culture, all reflected in the way she conceptualised her issue of V Magazine."

Gaga also took the stage to present her longtime stylist and friend Brandon Maxwell with the Best Designer Debut award. Brandon made his runway debut at New York Fashion Week last September.

Lady Gaga and fiancé Taylor Kinney were spotted at Operation Smile's 2015 Annual Celebrity Ski & Smile Challenge in Park City, UT on Saturday night. The couple looked so much in love as they arrived at the event to support Operation Smile, a nonprofit organization that supports children born with facial deformities.

Other celebrities at the event included Lance Bass, Julie Bowen and Kate Upton.

Operation Smile is a volunteer-based charity working with medical personnel worldwide to provide free surgery to children with cleft lips and palates. For more information, visit operationsmile.org.

Lady Gaga says she wants to have kids with her fiancé Taylor Kinney but not until she makes the world a better place. Gaga called into 104.3 MyFM to talk about her latest single "Til It Happens to You," her music and acting plans, and starting a family with Taylor.

"I gotta fix some things in the world before I bring my baby girl here," Gaga said. "I just want to make sure I do everything I can before I have a child to know that I've tried to put as many good things into the world as possible so she can be proud of me, or that my son can be proud of me."

Gaga also said that she couldn't wait to do more acting, but she has to finish her new album first.

"If I don't make another album or don't finish the one I've been making, I think my fans are going to wait outside my house with pitchforks," she joked. "I love making music and I just needed some to really reflect on what it is that I wanted to say, and now I know what that is. You're just gonna have to wait and see!"

Lady Gaga's upcoming album is scheduled for a 2016 release. Confirmed collaborators for the project include RedOne ("Poker Face," "Bad Romance," "Judas,"), Diane Warren ("Til It Happens to You"), Mark Ronson, and Elton John.

Lady Gaga continues to send support to fellow pop star and new friend Kesha who is in the middle of a legal battle against record producer Dr. Luke. Speaking to Carson Daly, Gaga revealed that she speaks with Kesha every day and feels that it's her responsibility to defend her.

"I feel like Kesha's being very publicly shamed for something that happens in the music industry all the time to women and men," Gaga said. "I just wanted to stand by her side because I can't watch another woman that went through what I've been through suffer and have everyone have a go at her as if she's lying. I talk to her every day, I'm friends with her personally and what I'm watching her go through is not only something that I've been through, but something that's really devastating to witness. Somebody that has such a beautiful light within them, so much talent to give, to see that light burn out because they feel that no one's listening to them... I feel that it's my responsibility to stand up for her."

"We're gonna shake the tree until that leaf that has Kesha on it falls right off," she continued. "We're not saying here that everyone has to act like [Dr. Luke] is the worst person that's ever existed. We're not asking the company to admit something. We're just asking them to do the right thing. This is almost a 30-year old woman who is a musician and an incredible talent. In any other business, if you were to report that anything happened to you to the human resources department, it would be dealt with. But we don't have a human resources department, we don't have a union as artists. If we don't stick together, our voices won't be heard."

Last month, a Manhattan Supreme Court judge refused to grant Kesha a preliminary injunction temporarily releasing her from her contract with Sony. The pop star is obliged to make six more albums with Kemosabe Records, a label run by Dr. Luke and owned by Sony. 

Lady Gaga is known for hyping up her Little Monsters quite a long time in advance before the release of her albums, but this time she is keeping all the details about her upcoming project under wraps. Speaking to Carson Daly on Amp Radio on Monday morning, Gaga said she wouldn't give out any details about the project but promised it will be worth the wait.

Carson told Gaga: "Little Monster on twitter have pitchforks in front of my fans. You need to give me something! I know you've been cryptic with your 'tick tick tok' stuff," to which she replied: "They think everything is cryptic!"

She continued: "I'm actually working every day on my record and I will be done with it at some point. I feel like this is my time for me to spend with my music and I have for years had to do some many other things and keep up with so much to please people around me. And this is the first time I really get to spend with my work. I promise you that it will be worth the wait."

Gaga added that she had been writing new music since her last solo tour ended in 2014. 

"I've been writing since the day the artRAVE ended. I write every single day, but I write my own music. I don't wake up and someone sends me the list of the song I'm gonna go into the studio and record. I have to make it. You gotta give me some time!"

After avoiding a couple of more of Carson's questions, Gaga said: "You're not getting anywhere! I'm sorry!" Listen below!

Thanks for trying, Carson!

Earlier this year, Gaga confirmed that the album is scheduled for a 2016 release. "I am putting out an album this year," she said at the Golden Globes press conference. "I won't tell you when, but it is coming out this year." 

Gaga has been working on the album, which fans refer to as LG5, since 2014. Confirmed collaborators include RedOne, Mark Ronson, Elton John, and Diane Warren.

Lady Gaga was among the hundreds of people taking a dip into frigid Lake Michigan waters as part of the annual Chicago Polar Plunge on Sunday. Gaga and her fiancé took the plunge for a second year in a row to help raise money and increase public awareness for local Special Olympics.

"You can't have empathy without pain," Gaga told fans after the event. "Get freezing cold so they can feel your warmth."

Last year, the event raised over $1.2 million, which went to support athletes competing in Chicago's Special Olympics.

Lady Gaga will appear on Season Six of American Horror Story! In a new interview with Z100's Elvis Duran, Mother Monster confirmed that she will be returning to the show, which earned her a Golden Globe earlier this year. Listen below!

During her interview with Z100, Gaga also spoke about her latest single "Til It Happens to You," which she performed at Sunday's Academy Awards, and the impact it had on her and the world. 

"I am so proud to hear this song and see it's being heard and see the effects it's having on people," Gaga said. "What I've witnessed since the performance is really the most astounding thing I've ever seen. There's so many people in the world that feel alone and this song fills them by bringing them together."

She continued: "You can't have empathy without trying to understand someone's pain. It's really hard nowadays with the Internet and the way we're online and all the gossip that we read. I'm sorry, I think it's really shallow. I want young people and old to see that it's okay that you don't have to hide from difficult topics."

Lady Gaga's latest single "Til It Happens to You" has been so well-received following her performance at Sunday's Academy Awards that Interscope is immediately releasing the song for pop and Hot AC airplay, AllAccess reports.

In a letter addressed to "Friends and Radio Programmers all over the country," Gaga wrote: "I have been lucky enough to put out records with all of you for almost a decade.  I have in that time never witnessed a public reaction like the one I am seeing today after my performance at the Oscars. I pray you will all today put your faith in a song that can set an example to be brave and courageous, through life's obstacles. Through the power of radio, I hope we can remind listeners that they are not alone."

Lady Gaga stole the show at the 2016 Oscars when she sang "Til It Happens to You" to a standing ovation. The poignant performance was introduced by Vice President Joe Biden, and she was joined onstage by a group of sexual assault survivors as she played the white piano along with a string orchestra.

"The first day of rehearsal with all the survivors I could barely get myself together," Gaga said of working with the survivors. "My body was wrecked with inflammation and pain, crying and shaking the whole walk to the stage. I told them I was so sorry I couldn't be Lady Gaga for them, that I couldn't even get dressed. I could barely get through the song, couldn't hit any of the high notes. Hair wet, sloppy tee shirt jeans uggs, tissues. They all hugged me and told me that it was okay because it was more real this way, that they understood that they were in pain too. They told me they were there for me to support me because they believed this message needed to be heard. Without them I never could have felt strong. They accepted me for me, at my lowest and that was good enough for them, so somehow through the magic of their courage they made it good enough for me too."

The 88th Academy Awards took place on Sunday night in Los Angeles. During the show, Lady Gaga performed a powerful rendition of "Til It Happens to You" to a standing ovation.

Sam Smith has won the Best Original Song Oscar, beating Lady Gaga's "Til It Happens to You," at Sunday's ceremony. The 23-year old singer took the opportunity to dedicate the award to the LGBT community and shout out Gaga, who had been his idol for years.

"I actually can't breathe right now, oh my gosh. Gaga you're incredible," he said during his speech. "I want to dedicate this to the LGBT community all around the world. I stand here tonight as a proud gay man. I hope we can stand all together as equals one day."

Sam Smith has been a massive Lady Gaga fan since he was a teenager.

"When I was 16 years old I was living in a tiny village in Cambridgeshire," Smith wrote in a note in his tour book. "I had such huge dreams of being a singer and an artist and had been trying my hardset to break out for so long. It was at that point that I became obsessed with Lady Gaga. It started out as an admiration for her music then became an obsession with her story, her hustle, her bravery and also her voice for gay people. It got to the point where I would check GagaDaily.com almost 8 times a day and I stood in line twice for 10 hours to see her and be front row. I dressed like her, I even bunked school for a day to see her and got in a lot of trouble."

The 88th Academy Awards took place on Sunday night in Los Angeles. During the show, Lady Gaga performed a powerful rendition of "Til It Happens to You" to a standing ovation.

There wasn't a dry eye in the Dolby Theatre during Sunday's Academy Awards after Lady Gaga delivered a powerful performance of "Til It Happens to You." Gaga took the stage alongside tens of survivors of sexual abuse to sing the Oscar-nominated song, which she co-wrote for The Hunting Ground, a documentary exploring campus sexual assault. The poignant performance received a standing ovation, and brought audience members to tears.

Gaga was introduced by American vice president Joe Biden, who urged the audience and everyone watching at home to take a pledge to speak up for victims of sexual assault. "Too many women and men on and off of college campuses are still victims of abuse," he said. "Take the pledge: I will intervene in situations where consent has not or cannot be given. We must, and we can, change the culture."

Just minutes before hitting the red carpet, she took to her Instagram account to thank her fans for the continuous support. "I never realized before but I put the tattoo of my fans 'monster paw' the symbol of our fan base right over my heart," she wrote. "It's not easy to perform this song, but I know you will have my heart in your hands holding me up like you have for almost a decade. Thank you for being the pillars that hold up my roof, everything i stand for is in you."

"Til It Happens to You" was co-written by Lady Gaga and Diane Warren and is up for Best Original Song at tonight's show.

Lady Gaga is set to sing her Oscar-nominated song "Til It Happens to You" at Sunday's ceremony. Gaga's performance will be introduced by US Vice President Joe Biden, who will give a speech aimed at combating sexual violence.

Lady Gaga made a surprise appearance during Elton John's free show in West Hollywood on Saturday. Gaga, who is godmother to Elton's two children, joined her great friend on stage for a beautiful performance of his 1974 hit "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me."

"This great man has inspired generations with his powerful music and warm heart there will never be another like him and there never was before," Gaga told fans after performing with Elton. "His uniqueness is compounded by his ability to love endlessly while also creating the biggest hits the world has ever known."

The concert was organized as a thank you to the City of West Hollywood for their support of the Elton John AIDS Foundation and streamed live on AOL.com.

Lady Gaga is set to perform at the Oscars tomorrow, February 28th.

Lady Gaga will team up with with Vice President Joe Biden at Sunday's Academy Awards for a special presentation aimed at combating sexual violence, LA Times reports. Biden, who authored the 1994 Violence Against Women Act, will introduce Gaga for a performance of her song "Til It Happens to You," which was written for the soundtrack to the campus rape documentary The Hunting Ground and is up for "Best Original Song" at this year's ceremony.

After introducing Gaga, Biden will ask viewers to join White House's "It's on Us" campaign, which aims to end sexual assault in colleges.

Last year, Biden met up with the song's co-writer Diane Warren and told her that the powerful balled is "more important than any speech I've given."

Lady Gaga took to her Twitter account on Friday to voice her support for fellow pop star Kesha, who had been denied permission to break a recording contract with her alleged rapist, record producer Dr. Luke. 

"There are people all over the world who love you, Kesha," Gaga wrote. "And I can say truly I am in awe of your bravery."

Sam Smith claims he's Lady Gaga's biggest fan and says he would love to make music with his idol.

"I'm the biggest Gaga fan there is," Smith, who is up for an Academy Award for Spectre's "Writing's on the Wall, told The Hollywood Reporter during a pre-Oscars photoshoot. "I queued up for her shows when I was 17!"

Speaking of a possible collaboration, Gaga said: "Maybe it will be awful. Maybe it will be great."

"When I was 16 years old I was living in a tiny village in Cambridgeshire," Smith wrote in a note in his tour book. "I had such huge dreams of being a singer and an artist and had been trying my hardset to break out for so long. It was at that point that I became obsessed with Lady Gaga.

"Right before we started to sing, Newman leaned over and gave me a ring from him and the guys," Gaga told fans after the party. "I had so many martinis I could barely make out the image until he whispered: 'It's an iron maiden.' I don't know what I did to deserve such wonderful friends but I man do I love you all so much. Thank you for making me feel so loved and special."

Lady Gaga may be a fashion icon, but don't expect her to come out with her own clothing line — the 29-year-old superstar told the New York Post that she respects fashion designers too much to ever try to be one.

"The thing is, at the end of the day, I have a real respect for fashion designers," Gaga told The Post at her friend Brandon Maxwell's show on Tuesday. "And it's the reason I don't have my own line and the reason I never will. If I ever do anything in fashion, it will always just be as a muse or as an aesthetic, creative. I like to be a part of helping artists find themselves and feel good about who they are."

She added: "I would never for a second claim to be proficient in fashion design [just] because I know good looks."

Just a day after stealing the show at the 58th Grammy Awards, Lady Gaga flew to New York City to support her friend and stylist Brandon Maxwell. Gaga sat front row wearing an all-black outfit and watched Brandon debut his new collection, which the singer called "perfect."

"He flew to L.A. to be at the Grammys with me, then back to New York for his show," Gaga wrote on her Instagram page. "A true talent with determination, well made classic timeless pieces that will never go out of style. I felt so elegant and comfortable in this jumpsuit and your show was unstoppably chic."

Lady Gaga is also set to attend her former stylist Nicola Formichetti's show in New York City later today.
