Lady Gaga Faces the Music

Case of the flu or just showing off her poker face?

Wanting people to know that she's not just a pretty face, Lady Gaga showed up in Malta today rocking her newest fashion accessory, a black face mask. In an interview with the Times of Malta newspaper, she insisted that the black plastic mask was "an item of contemporary art" and nothing else. She added that she is currently "obsessed with the clothes she found in sex shops."

She also commented on Michel Jackson's passing. "I grew up singing his songs, I don’t know what world I am making music to any more without Michael Jackson,” she said while keeping a straight face (it seems). Watch Gaga's video interview right here.
