Cassie Ventura
Gossip

For her sheer originality (for better or worse), willingness to take risk, and that insane ensemble consisting of a feathered frock, bedazzled neck brace, and gold mask, Lady Gaga undoubtedly set the MTV VMA fashion bar high.

Or low, depending how you look at it. Much like whether she has both a penis and a vagina, Lady Gaga fashion is always subject to interpretation.

Meanwhile, Diddy's weird protege with the shaved head arrived in what some have been calling an unflattering floral frock and futuristic footwear.

Who looked better?

The official results of this celebrity fashion face-off are not in yet, but we feel comfortable issuing the following warning to Cassie Ventura:

It will be difficult to win any matchup as long as your head is half-shaven.

At this weekend's BET Awards, the singer (and rumored girlfriend of Diddy) was spotted on the red carpet, decked out in all her weird hairstyle glory. Fellow star Ciara was also in attendance.

Who looked best at the BET Awards:

When Cassie shaved her head recently, it didn't leave quite the impression of Britney Spears bald. But that's because Britney Spears was insane at the time.

Cassie shaving one side of her dome was meant, she Twittered, to be seen as “Something that will shock your mother, but make her call you a ROCK STAR.”

Britney probably wishes she could have a mulligan on her head-shaving, but Cassie has no regrets, with her shaved head showing signs of staying power.

She even makes sure it looks freshly shorn at all times: “I get it touched up by a barber every three days,” Cassie recently told Women's Wear Daily.

With the exception of the surprising release of those "hacked" Cassie nude pics, this is the most shocking thing Diddy's protege has done ... well, ever.

Does she look better now than before? Tell us in the survey below ...

Cassie totally looks better with ...

Last week, people were talking about the Cassie nude photos that hit the Internet after they were "hacked," i.e. released by her handlers to generate attention.

Well, we've removed those risque pictures down after a complaint from Atlantic Records and Bad Boy Entertainment claiming "exclusive rights" to said images.

If we are to understand this correctly, Bad Boy Entertainment is therefore claiming ownership over Cassie's breasts and baby factory. She's totally doing Diddy!

Just making sure we're clear on that.

Anyway, the image below is not one of the infamous pictures, but she is wearing no pants, which is pretty sweet, we suppose, if you have a thing for Cassie ...

Cassie Ventura cups a fruity drink as she poses, seductively and sans pants, by a fence whilst wearing an article of clothing that appears to be 4-6 sizes too small.

We don't know where this resort is, but pants are apparently optional, while trying-to-act-hard scowls are mandatory. Click to enlarge more Complex Cassie pics ...

Having recently generated huge buzz with her shaved head, Cassie probably figured there was no reason to stop after removing all of her hair.

She's ditched any and all clothes in a couple of pics circulating online.

That's right, nude photos of the singer have popped up, making us wonder what exactly Cassie is up to when she's not doing Diddy. What would the music mogul say about his prized protege / plaything showing her assets to the world?

The 22-year-old has just released a statement about the pics:

“The recent personal pictures that have been leaked on the internet of me were hacked and stolen out of my computer. These photos were obviously never intended for the world to see and it’s sad that people would really take time to steal and post them, it’s just evil. At the end of the day breasts are breasts, mine weren’t the first you’ve seen and won’t be the last. People need to grow up, let’s move on. Thank you. Cassie.”

Cassie has gone all Britney Spears, circa February 2007, on fans.

The singer - who may or may not be doing Diddy - shaved off half her hair this week.

"Sometimes in life, you need a change,” Cassie blogged. “Something that displays the 'I don’t give a f—' attitude that was always present, but never showcased. Something deeper than what you thought you were capable of. And something that will shock your mother, but make her call you a ROCK STAR."

Do you like Cassie's new look?

Diddy and Cassie are not engaged.

However, following months of speculation about their relationship, the singers are reportedly dating.

A witness that attended a private after hours party at Diddy’s Florida estate over the weekend told the following to Scandalist: “Diddy and Cassie were definitely together. They were all over each other and didn’t leave each other’s side the whole night."

Has Diddy found a new number-one gal?

Cassie is a singer. We hear she's good. But what we're really interested in here is this yellow minidress, which she wore at Fashion Week in N.Y.C. The same dress was modeled by reality star Audrina Patridge at an L.A. event a few months later! Tell us, readers: who wore it better?
