Lady Gaga

One of the most successful artists in all of music turns 27 years young today.

Happy birthday to Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, a.k.a. Lady Gaga!

The only question is how the injured New York City native will celebrate.

She was forced to cancel her tour thanks to hip pain, which for her is like a fate worse than death. The star could really use your birthday wishes this year!

Lady Gaga may be on the shelf recovering from hip surgery, but the pop star is looking forward to a planned album of duets with Tony Bennett.

The 86-year-old crooner also dropped some hints about his highly anticipated collaboration with Gaga, which she first announced in January.

Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga - The Lady Is A Tramp

"We have it all worked out already on paper," the legendary singer said, telling The Philadelphia Inquirer about the duo's "big swing album."

Bennett also added that he was drawn to working with Lady Gaga, of all people, because "she's quite different." Well, that's one way to put it.

The two had previously teamed up on "The Lady Is a Tramp" for his 2011 album, Duets II (above), and have hinted at another collaboration ever since.

Looks like those plans are coming to fruition!

Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney are getting married soon ... according to a tabloid report. Sources close to the couple are singing a different electro-pop tune.

Rumors of a possible wedding surfaced after a close friend of Gaga's, DJ Starlight, was quoted by the Sun (UK) saying the actor and model is "the one."

"From all I've heard, I don't think I'm dropping a secret by saying they are ready to get hitched this year," her pal said, hinting that it was going down this summer.

Not so fast.

Consider that nothing more than hearsay, says an E! source, who says they are "absolutely not" getting married in the next few months. Well okay then.

They are going strong, at least. The couple got together back in the summer of 2011 after the 31-year-old Taylor appeared in her "You and I" music video.

He was on a break from The Vampire Diaries at the time, and they've been an adorable and stable item - however unlikely it seems - ever since.

He now stars on Chicago Fire, while Gaga continues to recover from surgery to fix a hip injury that she suffered last month, forcing her to nix her tour.

More downtime with Taylor Kinney, at least!

Lady Gaga said she has undergone successful surgery to repair an injured hip that forced the pop singer last week to cancel the remainder of her tour.

The star thanked fans in a blog post on her littlemonsters (dot) com fan website on Thursday, saying the surgical setback was "just a bump in the road."

The 26-year-old writes:

"As they wheeled me into surgery, I thought about all of your pain and perseverance, your unique family situations, school environments, health issues, homelessness, identity struggles."

Lady Gaga had to reluctantly cancel her tour after suffering a hip injury, but she still managed to pay a visit to one fan who had scored a front-row seat.

On Wednesday, the pop star met with a young girl suffering from a terminal heart condition who traveled from Wisconsin to Chicago to see her show.

Imagine 5-year-old Kayleigh Gurbynski's sadness when she learned the show was off ... or her joy when Gaga showed up in person shortly thereafter.

Britney Spears is out, Demi Lovato hopes to be in - and the singer also has a strong idea of who she wants to join her at The X Factor judging table.

Lovato tells Extra that 2013 will be a busy year for her with music and touring, but if the show asked her to return for Season 3, "I'd say yes."

And with both Spears and L.A. Reid departing the struggling series, Demi also weighed in on her ideal panel mate:

"I would love to see Lady Gaga. I don't know if that is possible or not."

Gaga does have some free time on her hands at least, as the artist has been forced to cancel her tour due to hip surgery.

Would you want to see Lady Gaga as a judge on The X Factor?

Lady Gaga has canceled the remainder of her Born This Way Ball tour, one day after announcing that she would postpone four shows due to a hip injury.

Live Nation said in a release:

"After additional tests this morning to review the severity of the issue, it has been determined that Lady Gaga has a labral tear of the right hip."

"She will need surgery to repair the problem, followed by strict down time to recover. This unfortunately, will force her to cancel the tour so she can heal."

Lady Gaga is suffering from a painful joint injury that has left her unable to walk in recent days, forcing the postponement of several shows, the singer said.

"I've been hiding a show injury and chronic pain for sometime now, over the past month it has worsened," Tweeted Gaga. "I've been praying it would heal."

The injury is a synovitis, a severe inflammation of joints, she added.

The 26-year-old gave no details about how she suffered the injury.

Will Lady Gaga's new album mark a resurgence for the songstress?

It's hard to believe, but it's been two years since Born This Way dropped. Since then, the 26-year-old has dropped out of the public consciousness a bit.

Her forthcoming record ARTPOP should chance that ... right?

Gaga, who made news last week by f-bombing former assistant Jennifer O'Neill in a deposition, called BTW "a form of therapy" and "a movement."

How does she view ARTPOP?

Lady Gaga's got gall! In an official video deposition from last August that was uncovered by the New York Post, Lady Gaga went off about her former assistant.

The assistant, named Jennifer O'Neill, is suing Gaga over supposed unpaid overtime. How much overtime? 7,168, to the tune of $393,000 plus damages! Yikes!

Not that that money means much to Gaga. But apparently she doesn't like being taken advantage of. "This whole case is bulls--t and you know it," she said in the video, claiming that O'Neill was a "f--king hood rat who is suing me for money that she didn’t earn."

Gaga was so upset, and so ademant that the suit was bull, that she even offered to pay the money. Just not to O'Neill! "I'm going to give all the money that she wants to my employees that work hard for me now that deserve it."
