​After Lady Gaga released "Born This Way," which sounded extremely reminiscent of Madonna's "Express Yourself," fans and critics alike had the same reaction: What the fuck? Even so, her hardcore fans adore her. But what is somewhat disturbing is all of her "little monsters" are just as bat-shit crazy as she is. As you can see on MTV's web site (and other blogs), they are getting Lady Gaga tattoos all over their bodies. Now we all know that without the crazy makeup and hair dye (and even with those), Gaga isn't the most beautiful woman in the world. But has this gone too far? What man wants a tattoo of her face on his calf? Clearly her fans do. Check out the tats and the craziness after the jump.More >>

Are you a little monster? Do you enjoy simultaneously shallow and elaborately dressed performance art pop sirens?

Lady Gaga has descended from the sky and touched an elegantly platformed foot--perhaps filled with gold fish or the essence of rainbows--on the streets of Los Angeles. The self-proclaimed pop icon will be playing two sold-out shows at the Staples Center starting tonight.More >>

Don't ask about Heard Mentality's current obsession with Lady Gaga; just know that we spend sleepless nights watching her videos and trying to figure out where she gets outfit ideas that seem regurgitated but fresh at the same time.

Hey -- at least we're not the only ones with a Gaga obsession. There are over 600 remakes of "Telephone" on Youtube! After the jump, check out the best fan remakes we could find, which include soldiers in Afghanistan acting like the Village People, a fey Canadian boy, an overweight, balding middle-aged man and a gaggle of über-cute teenagers.
