Lady Gaga may be one of the world’s most shocking pop stars – but here she is as a student at an exclusive Manhattan girls’ school. The singer has made a name stunning fans with her bizarre costumes and edgy performances. But before she was a star Lady Gaga was known as Stefani Germanotta and went to New York’s private ‘Convent of the Sacred Heart’ Catholic school.
In her senior profile in the school’s 2004 yearbook Gaga gives her nicknames as ‘Stefi’ or ‘The Germ.’ She says she was ’separated at birth’ from fellow pop star Britney Spears and should be pictured with her ‘midriff showing’. Gaga also writes that her dream is to one day be ‘headlining at Madison Square Garden’ and that her ‘prized possession’ is her piano. The star adds that her pet peeve is ‘ordinary people’ and that she did not go the reunion because she ‘had an audition’.

Music-mix.ew.com – Despite her best efforts, Lady Gaga doesn’t always live by her own rules. At this January’s Grammy Awards, for example, she was excluded from the Best New Artist category because her single “Just Dance” had been nominated the previous year for Best Dance Recording.
But rules are there to be broken. Or at least, in the case of the Recording Academy’s book of laws, they are there to be amended after a suitable period of rumination. In December, Recording Academy President Neil Portnow said of Gaga’s ineligibility, “There will be some changes so that particular scenario won’t repeat itself.” And today, the Academy announced an alteration in their laws which allows acts to be eligible for the Best New Artist category, “if an artist/group is nominated (but does not win) for the release of a single or as a featured artist or collaborator on a compilation or other artist’s album before the artist/group has released an entire album (and becomes eligible in this category for the first time).”
In an explanatory statement, the Academy noted, “More and more, the first release of a new artist is as a featured artist on someone else’s album or, the new artist may release a single long before the release of his/her/their entire first album. By current rules, if the other artist’s album or the new artist’s single receives a nomination, the new artist may never have the opportunity to compete in the Best New Artist category. With this change, each artist will have at least one opportunity to enter in this important and highly visible category.”
Obviously, this rule change is too late to help Lady Gaga—though, all things considered, the Grammy Awards are probably a distant memory to her at this point anyway. But what do you think of the rule change? Do you agree with the Academy that an artist can still be “new” even if they’ve been nominated the year before?
Tonight marks the first of 3 sold out shows GaGa will be playing at her home town’s famed Madison Square Garden arena. In her high school yearbook, GaGa stated that her dream was to headline at the historic venue, and now that dream has come true! Help celebrate this accomplishment by tweeting #MadisonSquareGaGa.
