Lady Gaga is set to make an announcement about her new album ‘Born This Way’ on New Years Eve (December 31).

The singer said the new details about the album was her Christmas present to her fans.

In a message on Twitter, she wrote: “Merry Christmas little monsters! I love you with all my heart.

“My gift to you is a ‘Born This Way’ announcement Midnight on New Years Eve.”

In the most ambitious figure launch in Madame Tussauds history, eight attractions (London, New York, Las Vegas, Hollywood, Amsterdam, Berlin, Shanghai and Hong Kong) around the world unveiled new Lady Gaga figures. Each attraction has depicted the fashion icon in a totally different style and details about which city is getting which outfit were kept a closely guarded secret until the moment they were revealed.  Click to read the rest of the post to see the images!

Lady Gaga arriving at the Mi Officine Meccaniche Recording Studios in  Milan yesterday, December 5th 2010.

Smash Hits is to return for a third one-off special, saluting “the biggest pop star in the world today”, Lady GaGa.

Edited by former Smash Hits and Heat staff member Jordan Paramor, the Smash Hits Lady GaGa Special will include a look at her entourage, images from the world tour, Life In Fashion and The Truth Behind the Rumours.

Bauer Media’s music and film brands manager Stuart Williams says GaGa is the perfect subject for Smash Hits.

“Lady GaGa has set the pop-agenda over the last two years – her album is still selling at a remarkable rate and she brings her Monster Ball tour back to the UK in December,” he says. “It’s fitting, therefore, that such an iconic pop magazine as Smash Hits should pay tribute to her.”

This will be the third Smash Hits special edition since the magazine closed in February 2006, following Take That in November 09 and Michael Jackson in July 09.

The GaGa special goes on sale on December 1.

While Elton John discusses a duet with Lady Gaga that will appear in the upcoming animated feature ‘Gnomeo and Juliet,’ Kelly Ripa points out he’s had an obvious influence on the songstress on ‘Live With Regis and Kelly’ (weekdays, syndicated). John agrees, and even refers to Gaga as his “bastard daughter.’

“She is, kind of, like the bastard daughter of Elton John,” he admitted. “If I had a daughter, it would be Gaga … She’s great. She’s been influenced by so many people. I mean, not just me. [David] Bowie you can see.”

Lady Gaga told the audience a line from a track from ‘Born This Way’ whilst performing at The Monster Ball in Antwerp, Belgium.

“Tonight I will return all the fame and riches earned, with you I’d watch them all be burned”
