Lady Gaga announced on Twitter Wednesday morning that she and Kendrick Lamar will be releasing a collaboration titled “PARTYNAUSEOUS” on September 6th. The track is believed to have been recorded in Chicago back in July, and will be featured on Kendrick’s upcoming album, due out later this year.

Movie director Robert Rodriguez hit Twitter today to announce: “I just finished working with @LadyGaga on @MacheteKills, she kicked SO MUCH ASS! Holy Smokes. Blown away!” And along with it, he added a character poster that reveals she, rather appropriately, plays a character named La Chameleon. No word yet if she brought her own wardrobe to the shoot. The “Machete” franchise has already made a name for itself for being a bit more adventurous with its participants, but even this is pretty surprising, though we’d guess Stefani Germanotta’s appearance will be a boosted up cameo, but not much more.

During a press junket in London last week, Madonna spoke out to the media regarding her feelings about Lady Gaga. Speaking to press, Madonna said she is a big fan of the song “Born This Way” and jokingly added that she is also “glad that I could help her write it.” Madonna also defended her recent mash up of “Express Yourself” and “Born This Way”, featured in her MDNA World Tour, by stating that it isn’t meant to be taken seriously, but meant to be a tribute and also a bit of a joke.

The star added that she tries not to pay attention to the comparisons drawn between the two, and that “I think she [Gaga] is very talented. At the end of the day, we’re very different. We both have different things to say. I think that’s some journalists trying to stir up trouble by constantly making references to other artists.”

Being a worldwide celebrity has both dark and light aspects to it — and with her new scent, Lady Gaga Fame, one of the world’s most famous entertainers is exploring both.

“Fame is an illusion — if you really want it, anyone can have it,” Gaga told WWD via e-mail of the concept for the fragrance.

And heaven forbid that the scent be ordinary in the least. Lady Gaga Fame, which will be released globally in late August by the artist’s Haus Laboratories and fragrance licensee Coty, is black in the bottle, but the liquid sprays clear and is invisible upon becoming airborne.

“Lady Gaga joins a legendary cast of talent for whom Coty has created scents,” said Bernd Beetz, chief executive officer of Coty Inc. “Gaga’s launch represents my personal credo brought to life….Innovate or die! Absolutely everything about this launch is innovative, from the bottle, to the juice, to the lady herself….She’s zeitgeist in a bottle.”

Lady Gaga To Launch LADY GAGA FAME, The First Fragrance From Haus Laboratories

Fragrance to Debut in September 2012

New York, NY (June 14, 2012) – Multi-platinum and Grammy Award-winning artist Lady Gaga announced today the worldwide release of her first fragrance, LADY GAGA FAME, in September 2012. Gaga’s first fragrance, released through the artist’s own Haus Laboratories in association with Coty, is the latest breakthrough expression of her creativity.

Bound to surpass all norms and standards in the fragrance industry with its innovative technology, LADY GAGA FAME is the first ever black Eau de Parfum that sprays clear and becomes invisible once airborne. The black-to-clear fragrance is a fantastic innovation of patent pending fluid technology, exclusively launched with LADY GAGA FAME. Gaga collaborated with fashion industry legends in the creation of LADY GAGA FAME: the bottle was designed in collaboration with Nick Knight,and the ad campaign was directed and photographed by Steven Klein.

The innovations in LADY GAGA FAME go beyond the black-to-clear fluid: theolfactory structure itself is also very rare for the fragrance industry. Traditionally, perfumes have a pyramidal structure – a hierarchy of sorts with top, middle and base notes. This fragrance, on the other hand, has a unique structure called the “push-pull technology,” where the ingredients interact together to highlight different olfactive aspects of each note at the same time, without any hierarchy. All of the notes were crafted to work together harmoniously thanks to the complimentary properties of each ingredient, which allow for a true metamorphosis of the scent when worn on skin.

The scent is built around three main accords: dark, sensual and light. The dark accord was inspired by Belladonna, the deadly nightshade possessed by haunted beauties since the 18th century. From this darkness, the fragrance evolves to a sensual accord of opulence, a fusion of dripping honey, saffron and apricot nectar. And lastly, the light accord whispers magnificence. The rich floral layer of crushed Tiger Orchid & Jasmine Sambac embodies timeless beauty. The accords work together to create a fragrance of floral and fruity elements, with the star ingredient inspired by Belladonna leveling out the whole fragrance and giving LADY GAGA FAME its signature as a scent.

“Enjoy the first ever fragrance from Haus Laboratories. Fame, a beautiful prospect with a dark heart. X GAGA” said Lady Gaga.

The LADY GAGA FAME fragrance for women will be available at retailers worldwide in September 2012.
