| I've always been a weirdo," Lady Gaga once said. Born Stefani Germanotta in New York City, the singer attended Catholic school before her musical gifts led to work as a songwriter for stars like Britney Spears and New Kids on the Block. Hand in hand with the hooks that fill her three albums, "The Fame," "Fame Monster" and "Born This Way" is a look so outrageous it amounts to performance art. "I spend all my money on wardrobe and props," she has said. The star works with a collective of stylists and artists called Haus of Gaga and, when all else fails, "I design, I hand-make, I borrow—whatever it takes." But just don't accuse her of being a part-time diva. "I'm not a character," she told People. "I really am all the things that you see." The fresh-faced student at Convent of the Sacred Heart wrote that her dream was "headlining at Madison Square Garden." (CREDIT: SplashNewsOnline.com) More of Lady Gaga’s Transformation |

| As a songwriter and up-and-coming artist, Lady Gaga was mistaken for another strong-willed singer: "Actually the reason I dyed my hair blond is because I used to get Amy Winehouse all the time. I don't mind being compared to Amy, but I wanted my own image." (CREDIT: Retna) More of Lady Gaga’s Transformation |
