Hot: Lady Gaga's YouTube Account Suspended

 

Lady Gaga has long been the Queen of YouTube. Her videos have racked up more than a billion views on the site and fans have flocked to it in droves to post their home-brewed takes on her outfits, fashion, music and videos. 

But little monsters who were looking for their daily fix of Gaga on Thursday (July 14) were likely disappointed when they went to Mother Monster's YouTube account and found the following message, "This account has been suspended due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's Copyright Policy."

What gives? 

According to Time Out Tokyo, Gaga's official YouTube account was suspended because she posted footage from her recent appearance on the Japanese show "SMAP x SMAP," on the Fuji TV network. The widely-circulated video of the 10-minute performance in which Gaga sang a medley of songs from Born This Way resulted in a takedown request from Media Interactive Inc. on Tuesday. 

The video features Gaga performing on a fog-enshrouded set with the popular Japanese boy band SMAP, and the issue appears to involve Gaga's failure to secure the digital rights to display their performance on her YouTube account. In the clip, Gaga emerges from an ornate box wearing a an elaborate black dust mask and sings "The Edge of Glory" before sitting down at a piano housed in a giant bejeweled hand sculpture for a solo take on "You and I" that morphs into the album's title track. 

The "Born This Way" performance features the members of SMAP standing and posing behind Gaga, joining her dancers in some high-energy choreography and singing light backup duties on the hit track.

Spokespeople for Gaga and YouTube could not be reached for comment at press time. 

On Monday, Gaga tweeted her excitement about the SMAP performance, writing, "My performance+cooking show appearance on SMAP SMAP is airing now in Japan. Kawaii Monsters!" A week earlier, she Twitpic'd a sepia-toned photo of her with the group as well.

Lady Gaga is hooked on 'Antiques Roadshow'

The 25-year-old singer ' who is well known for her eccentric tastes ' is obsessed with the British TV show where people bring in their valuables to find out their value, and friends have now bought her a DVD box set of classic episodes so she can watch them on the road.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Lady Gaga is really into her antiques so British pals thought she might be interested in the programme.

"It went down a storm and Gaga hasn't stopped watching the DVDs. She loves how the old people think their antique is a bit of old tat but ends up costing thousands. It's right up her street."

The 'Judas' hitmaker herself has some expensive items in her closet ' she was given the red shoes worn by Judy Garland in 1939 movie 'The Wizard of Oz' as a present from her management earlier this year.

It is not the first time Lady Gaga has been linked to a love of television ' she has previously confessed she adores watching cookery shows when she has some down time.

She said: "When I get time off, I like to watch cooking shows, I'm really obsessed with them. I'm a really good cook now, just from watching those shows. My specialty is Italian."

'cause you were born this way, baby

verse:
my mama told me when i was young
we are all born superstars
she rolled my hair and put my lipstick on

"there's nothin wrong with lovin who you are"
she said, "'cause he made you perfect, babe"
"so hold your head up girl and you'll go far,
listen to me when i say"

chorus:
i'm beautiful in my way
'cause god makes no mistakes

don't hide yourself in regret
just love yourself and you're set

i was born this way

post-chorus:
ooo there ain't no other way
baby i was born this way

give yourself prudence
and love your friends
subway kid, rejoice your truth
in the religion of the insecure

New album: Lady Gaga, 'Born This Way'

Lady Gaga. After months of anticipation, Lady Gaga has finally released the title track from her forthcoming album, 'Born This Way.'

Fans got a preview of the single when the pop star sang a line of it during her Video of the Year acceptance speech at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.

"That chorus came to me, like, I swear, I didn't even write it. I think God dropped it in my lap," Gaga told Rolling Stone after the incident. "And I swear to you that I'm in a place now writing music where there's this urgency to protect and take care of my fans."

Originally, the song was set to be unveiled on Feb. 13, but the singer pushed its release date up by two days, tweeting, "Can't wait any longer, single coming Friday."

On Feb. 8, Gaga debuted the single artwork for the song on Twitter with the simple message "Trois jours," meaning "three days" until the big reveal.

'Born This Way' will be released on May 23.
