Project Runway winner Seth Aaron Henderson has revealed that he wants to work with Lady GaGa.
The designer scooped the top prize on the Lifetime show last week, beating fellow finalists Emilio Sosa and Mila Hermanovski at Bryant Park.
Speaking to reporters about which celebrity he would like to see wear his designs, he replied: "I'd probably start off with GaGa because it's so out there!"
He added to On The Red Carpet: "She's in the spotlight right now and there's pretty much no limits. Her style is so far out there. We could have a lot of fun with that."
Henderson took home a prize of $100,000, an editorial feature in Marie Claire magazine, a $50,000 technology suite and the opportunity to sell his line on Bluefly.
Spin.com – Lady Gaga is preparing to return with a follow-up to her smash debut, The Fame, and according to Akon, the R&B star who signed Gaga to his Kon Live record label in 2008, the “Poker Face” pop star’s new music is “bigger and better” than anything she’s recorded to date.
“She records while she’s on the road,” Akon told Vibe of Gaga. “I’m flying out to Europe to work on some new records with her. Gaga’s just like me. She has a tour bus with a studio in it. Some of the songs I’ve heard are going to be crazy.”
Akon also praised Gaga’s individuality and artistic vision. “All I’m doing at the end of the day is listening to the tracks Gaga has written and approving them for her album,” he added. “She has producers that she works with outside of myself and they are coming up with some incredible records. But the beauty of it is she knows exactly what she wants. So it just makes it easier for me.”
Gaga is already on track for another banner year. She’s selling out her Monster’s Ball tour worldwide and recently set a record with her music video “Bad Romance,” which has become the most watched video in YouTube history with nearly 180 million visits.
In addition, she is scheduled to headline Lollapalooza this August in Chicago’s Grant Park alongside Green Day, the Strokes, and reunited grunge rockers Soundgarden.
"Were not on Rivington St. anymore Toto. Me, Justin, and Posh! in Japan, of course we found the only bar in Osaka that looked and smelled like Jerome's. We've come a long way for a buncha bad kids."

Susan Boyle has revealed that she wants to perform with fellow singer Lady GaGa in the future.
The I Dreamed A Dream star, who finished runner-up on last year’s Britain’s Got Talent, praised the Fame Monster artist for her individualism.
“I think Lady GaGa is a wonderful artist and completely original and I like her costumes,” Boyle told the Daily Record.
“Yes, I’d love to do a duet with her, complete with telephone hat, too!”
Thoughts? Would you like to see this collaboration happen?
“We’re doing an episode that’s a tribute to theatricality. We reached out to Lady Gaga and she said, ‘Yes, I’d love to be a part of it.’ So we will be doing Lady Gaga this season.”
GaGa first reached number one in April 2008 with her LP The Fame, which reigned over the charts for four weeks.

It has been confirmed by Music Station in Japan that none other than Lady GaGa will be appearing on their show on April 16th! She has been confirmed to be performing “Telephone” on the show! The last time GaGa appeared on the show was June 12th 2009, and she performed “Just Dance”. Music Station is Japan’s biggest music show, and frequently features some of Japan’s biggest names.
Check out a video of GaGa’s last performance on the show below:
Carole tweeted “Guess who went “Gaga” over Carole & James in Sydney on Tuesday” and posted a photo of Gaga backstage with herself and James.
Lady Gaga is just wrapping up her Australia tour while Carole King and James Taylor started the tour last week. Both acts are touring Australia for Michael Coppel (So we now know how Gaga got her backstage pass).

The 24-year-old singer admits she struggled to fit in at an all-girls private school in New York, and was frequently made fun of over her appearance.
She said: ‘I had a very big nose, very curly brown hair and I was overweight. I got made fun of.’
But while the comments undoubtedly upset Gaga, she admits it was her work and her musical talent that helped her cope.
Even now, the singer says her friends tease her about how much she changes as soon as she takes to the stage in front of millions of fans.
She said: ‘My friends joke that I’m dead until I get on stage!’
Now a world-famous singer, with hits such as Paparazzi, Poker Face and Telephone under her belt, Gaga says she hopes her work will help other young people who are being bullied.
When asked to complete the phrase ‘In 20 years, I hope people will say, Lady Gaga…’, the singer replied: ‘…changed my life, and her music gave me an identity when I didn’t belong.’
However, Gaga’s desire to succeed and to please her fans has sometimes taken its toll on the petite star.
Following a severe case of jet lag after arriving in Australia, Gaga passed out three times while performing her first show at Vector Arena in Auckland last month.
‘I was so jet lagged,’ she told Australian radio show Kyle and Jackie O.
‘I passed out about three times on stage that night but I got myself to the floor. I’d rather die on stage than walk off because I was going to pass out.’
But it's not just the crazy outfits that place her a cut above the rest, it's that every time she opens her mouth she says something interesting. Here are some of our favourite GaGa-isms:
"I would rather die than have my fans not see me in a pair of high heels."
"I am alone and miserable, but I like to be alone."
"Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore."
"I live out of a suitcase and I make music and art and I spend every dollar that I make on stage."
"I love Susan Boyle. She is my woman of the year."
"I didn't fit in in high school and I felt like a freak... So I like to create this atmosphere for my fans where they feel like they have a freak in me to hang out with and they don't feel alone."
And let's not forget, she makes damn fine pop music.

Information from the official Lollapalooza site:
Take heed, Chicago: the Fame Monster herself is headed for your city, and she won’t leave ‘til she’s got your love. Lady Gaga and pop culture seem to go hand in hand these days, as the diva has enraptured fans with her extreme theatrics, her infectious music and her seemingly ever more outrageous outfits. Gaga’s debut album, The Fame, brought her the title’s promise, with hits destined to get bodies moving; “Just Dance,” “Poker Face,” “LoveGame” and “Paparazzi” introduced us all to her voice, and hinted at what has become her full-blown vision. They also earned her the elite status of being the only artist to have four No. 1’s from the same debut album on the Billboard Pop Songs chart. Since The Fame, Gaga has gone from alternate-universe, no-pants-Barbara-Streisand to human caricature, though no amount of strange objects in her hair or bizarro-clown makeup colors on her face can hide her talent as a brilliant pop songwriter. Perhaps Gaga is most endearing when she sits at her piano, her ivory-tickling skills and strong, soaring vocals on full display. Still, she seems most comfortable in full-out performance art mode, leading her backup dancers in evocative poses as disco balls spin and something, inevitably, ends up on fire. Citing Queen and David Bowie as huge influences, Lady Gaga has a penchant for exhibitionism, and in just a little over two years, has brought this fascination to mass audiences around the globe. Though she’s now a well-traveled sensation, back in 2007 Gaga wowed Lollapalooza attendees with an acclaimed Saturday performance. This year, a good guess suggests that on a bigger stage with a refined and greatly amplified production, she’ll blow everyone away.
Lady GaGa has dismissed rumours that new single ‘Alejandro’ has been scrapped in the US after poor feedback from radio station bosses.
The singer was alleged to have become embroiled in a row with her record label over the upcoming release. She wanted to issue the track ahead of the company’s preferred song ‘Dance In The Dark’, Contactmusic reports.
The speculation was sparked following news that ‘Alejandro’ struggled to make an impact in other territories – entering the Canadian charts at number 78 and in Australia at number 49 – since its release earlier this month.
However, GaGa has now taken to Twitter to reassure fans that the track will be released, posting: “Alejandro is on the radio. F**k it sounds so good, we did it little monsters.”
‘Alejandro’, the follow-up to her huge hit ‘Telephone’ with Beyoncé, is due out in the US on April 20.

Seems like Gaga is taking off and we all hope that she wins them all, she wont perform at the event. – confirmed.
Lady GaGa loves that her fans copy her style choices.
The Poker Face singer says she’s proud to see the audience at her gigs copying her rather novel way of recycling cola cans, by using them as hair rollers.
“I notice on stage, I look out into the audience and there are coke cans bobbing up and down everywhere,” says GaGa.
“I love the fact my fans have picked up on something I really only did as bit of fun and a comment on consumerism.
“My one tip is to make sure they are washed out properly!”
Lady Gaga, who is famed for her eccentric fashion sense, believes stars should make an effort when they appear at red carpet events as she thinks it`s something the fans deserve.
“I think you should look nice all the time. When I meet celebrities and they`re in casual clothes, I`m always like, `Whaaat?` I don`t mean to be judgmental, but it would do them better to be who they really are, all the time. When I get out of a car and there are 30 fans waiting for me, I know I`m dressed the way I should be. There`s a reason they have that emotional reaction,” Gaga told OK! magazine.
Scottish designer Rachael Barrett’s life changed after pop sensation Lady Gaga described the 25-year-old fashion graduate as “my favourite new designer”.
Less than a year ago Rachael was a struggling art student who could barely afford the trip home to her native Glasgow. But now, things have changed.
GaGa wore Barrett creations – which cost up to 1,000 pounds- in the video for last November’s number one hit Bad Romance and for Telephone.
A Barrett dress also features in Lady Gaga’s current Monster Ball world tour, and the singer appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in another Barrett design.
“Rachael is my favourite new designer. Her innovation with latex, silhouette, and minimalism is refreshing, inspirational and promising for the future of fashion,” GaGa told fashion magazine Dazed and Confused in an interview.
“It was absolutely wonderful when I discovered Lady Gaga would be wearing one of my dresses for the Bad Romance video. After graduating it was pretty rough, I had a tough summer hunting for freelance work, so for this to happen was a real surprise,” expressed Barrett, who was voted “breakthrough designer of the year” at last November’s Scottish Style Awards.

Lady GaGa has revealed she wants to hold an art exhibition at Paris’ world-famous Louvre musuem.
The singer says she’s got lots of plans for the future including working on a Tarantino movie. She told OK! magazine: “I want to have an exhibition at The Louvre with all my fashions and technology. But not as a Madonna through the years, a fashion exhibit.
“I’d want it to be like art pieces with explanations and inspirational references. I also want to direct films and music videos.
“I want to do things that have nothing to do with my own artistic ego – Lady Gaga, the empire. Lady GaGa behind the scenes, working on the fashions on a Tarantino film. I would love to do something like that.”

Lady Gaga has accepted that it might be her “destiny” to go insane because of her fame.
The 24-year-old singer shot to fame last year with her single Just Dance, and has had several consecutive hits since then. She is now one of the most famous people in the world, but insists she is powerless to stop any negative consequences of her newfound stardom.
“I’m already crazy,” she said. “I’m a fearless person. I think it creeps up on you. I don’t think it can be stopped. If my destiny is to lose my mind because of fame, then that’s my destiny.”
While she doesn’t think she can change the future, Gaga says she will never let anything lessen her passion for her fans and her art. She says her work will always mean more to her than anything else, and admits she’s so obsessed she can’t sleep at night.
“For some people, fame kills their passion and becomes more powerful than the music or the performance,” she told the British edition of OK! magazine. “But for me fame is like rocket fuel. The more my fans like what I’m doing, the more I want to give back to them. And my passion is so strong I can’t sleep, sometimes for days.”

HEADLINES
Just like Madonna and Britney Spears before her, Lady Gaga knows that there is no such thing as bad publicity when you are in the business of selling music and concert tickets.
And so with careful measure the pop sensation has created a live show that has just the right amount of shock factor. Yes she curses like a sailor, simulates sex and smears herself in blood. But the most controversial moments, when a girl vomits all over the singer and when Gaga munches on a heart while crying tears of blood, are toned down by appearing on a video reel. Like any savvy pop star, Gaga can see the dollar line in the sand.
Despite reports that the Monster Ball tour was not suitable for young children, there were still a fair few kiddies in the 16,000 strong crowd at Burswood Dome. Two girls around five were sitting right behind me. The pair happily sang along to early numbers Just Dance, LoveGame and Boys Boys Boys, but halfway through they ran out of steam and looked more bored than shocked or scared. Meanwhile several teens and younger women were stretchered out of the venue appearing to be suffering from heat or exhaustion.
While there is no doubting this was not kiddie fare, truth be told there really was nothing Gaga did that hasn’t been done before. The biggest influence was, of course the queen of controversy, Madonna, but there was also elements of Alice Cooper’s shock theatrics and a fair dose of cheesy musical theatre.
Following a narrative borrowed from The Wizard of Oz in which Gaga and her friends get lost on their way to the Monster Ball and must follow the “Glitterway” to arrive at their destination, the show was expertly created, produced and choreographed. Visually spectacular it borrowed the inner city scaffolding style setting of Rent while the costumes and whacky dance routines wouldn’t be out of place in Michael Jackson’s Thriller video clip or The Rocky Horror Picture Show. There is no denying this was one pop concert that delivered plenty of entertainment bang for the buck.
Likewise Gaga’s performance could not be faulted. Here was a singer and dancer who, shock horror, actually sang and can really dance – take note Britney this is what people expect when they buy concert tickets.
Most surprisingly during Speechless, which saw Gaga take a seat behind the piano, the singer proved she doesn’t just have a decent pop voice, but that her range and depth lends itself beautifully to more bluesy numbers. And while bellowing during Teeth, Gaga seemed to have a vocal strength her pop hits don’t even come close to hinting at.
Sure her acting was a little contrived and even when addressing the audience she relied on a script that has been used across the country with catchphrases such as:
“the Monster Ball will set you free”, “my name is Lady Gaga and if it weren’t for you I would not exist” and “there’s no pop star in the world who loves their fans more than I do”.
Dubbing her fans her little monsters she got her Marcia Hines on when she told them: “Just remember you are one of my little monsters and you are perfect just the way you are. Love yourselves.” Her words were met with cheers from the thousands of Gaga lookalikes who clung on her every word as they stood with coke cans tangled in their hair.
Of course Gaga wouldn’t be Gaga without some weird and wonderful wardrobe choices. While some of the singer’s 16 costumes were high end couture designed by the likes of Giorgio Armani and Prada, some were beyond ridiculous. There was a bizarre fringed outfit that looked like a full body lampshade and an odd red number that looked as if Gaga had, in her hurry to change, left the hanger in.
The highlight of the show came at the end with back to back hits Poker Face, Paparazzi and Bad Romance. During Paparazzi a giant purple monster appeared on stage with glowing eyes, octopus style limbs and piranha-like teeth. The audience were asked to help conquer the beast by taking photographs of it. Gaga meanwhile turned into a human pyrotechnics display with fire and sparks flying from her bustier and crotch. How could we not be impressed by that.
By closing number Bad Romance, Gaga and her crew made it to the Monster Ball “the best party in the world” and Burswood Dome was bouncing like the Loch Ness Monster on a pogo stick.
Let’s face it — a monstrously good time was had by all.
