Lady Gaga(Stefani Germanotta) on 60 Minutes and Grammy Awards

Never appears the same way twice
Call her Gaga

Stephanie Germanda
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986)
Stefani Germanotta
24 years old

They call her Stephanie in bed.

First met her in London
dozen paparazis following her, she uses them

She has three guys on motorcycles following her

She is always on camera

Gaga is a student of fame, art of fame

How did she get
on tour the better part of the past 3 years
tireless performer
Dance songs are the biggest hits
Remind you of Madonna
she co-writes all her songs

she never lip syncs

it’s not just the music, it is about the message
little monster

then onto Milan
she didn’t want to wear clothes
doesn’t consider herself just a performer, but a living artist
there’s a story or concept she is telling

mastering the art of fame

People want to see the decay of the superstar, do people want to see her fail, vomiting, fall on stage?

Dramatic, it’s a movie
5 or 6 years, she was
Paul Colby The Bitter End playing a club in 2010
She hit it big.

She wanted to show the old studio

Piano and age 4
grew up in a good part of town
in New York
Name Lady Gaga From Queen song

You have the freedom to pull a superstar
she still smokes pot and drinks whiskey
she stopped doing cocaine

sociology of fame
Lady Gaga does not lie, she is a lot like them

New album is coming in May 2011

will earn 100million this year
Title Song from new forthcoming album:
Born This Way

She has a sense of humor

She cares most about the music
mastering the art of fame and maintaining the fame and popularity

30 year old Google marketing executive

Google executive Wael Ghonim is credited for creating the Facebook page that was used to organize the first mass demonstration.

Google Executive Wael Ghonim: Next President of Egypt? 60 Minutes?

2/3 of the population in Egypt are 30 years old or younger.

Symbol of leadership rebellion
The New Age Revolution

The regime was stupid

Two and half weeks ago
Went on the streets on the 25th of Jan.
Psychological barrier of fear was broken and fell.

Regional Marketing Manager Wael Ghonim
was very moved and disturbed by a activist who was killed by the police
Kahlel Said was this activist

Primary interaction was online

The regime blocked facebook and that was the start of the end
The regime forced people to the streets
Wael Ghonim disappeared, for 12 days his was interogated, hit, and blind folded,
the soldiers hit him
1. Google did a lot to get him out
2. Barack Obama, what did he do?
3. crowds in the streets swelled to millions
Moubarak had no choice but to resign

Ghonim has no interest in running for office.
He really wants to get back to work at Google
There was so much money stolen.
Billions was taken from the people.
The people deserve their money back
