'I used to be called a s**t at school' says Lady Gaga... as she parades down a runway in a see-through dress

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Who's laughing now?: Gaga on the runway in Cologne for Germany's Top Model today


Her outfits have become more risque with every smash hit single, but Lady Gaga has complained that she was branded a 'sl*t' at school because of the way she dressed.

In a recent interview, the singer who firmly believes that less is more when it comes to couture, said she dreaded attending classes in New York because of the taunts.

However it hasn't stopped her revealing as much as she can at every opportunity since, as the sheer gown she chose for her appearance on Germany's Top Model today proves.


Sheer talent: It was almost a conservative choice for the shock singer, besides the see-through material


'I used to be called a sl*t. I didn’t even want to go to school sometimes,' the pop mega-star told the Daily Record.

And while this high-neck, long gown is positively Victorian compared to Gaga's usual choice of outfit, the sheer fabric reveals her body clearly - knickers, bra and all.


Fan club: Gaga was handed a hand made placard saying I Love You Gaga by a member of the audience


On her feet she wore a pair of her regulation Noritaka Tatehana shoes were clearly visible.

The towering, yet heel-less footwear has become a staple part of Gaga's overall look - this particular pair being covered with gold studs.

The post-modern singer teamed the barely-there ensemble with a teal wig.

Later Gaga was even more scantily-clad during her performance of songs Born This Way and Edge of Glory on the reality show, opting for fishnet tights, knickers and an asymmetric cape.



Feel the love: The superstar singer receive a very warm welcome when she appeared on the German version of Top Model


To begin with she sat at a piano which had stacks of money placed all over its lid.
Making her way on to the catwalk, Gaga stepped under three different guillotines, each of which had a different word illuminated above it - the first had SEX, the second MONEY and the third VANITY.

At the second guillotine, her dance troupe played with another huge stack of money, while at the third Gaga caused a moment of high drama when she placed herself under the blade of the execution device.

The lights then went out before she jumped up holding a false head with the same teal wig she was wearing herself, shouting 'beauty is a lie'.

Of course, Gaga's whole act undoubtedly had some kind of poignant message behind it.

Gaga then jumped up with a prosthetic head - in matching teal wig - held aloft, before snarling towards the judges, including Heidi Klum: 'I would kill for fashion.'

The show at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne was being streamed live on the internet, so Gaga's pronouncement reached her fans worldwide.


Yin and yang: The two faces of Gaga during the show, her black stage attire and white runway gown


She is deadly serious about fashion, besides Bowie, Queen and Madonna, the New Yorker counts Donatella Versace as one of her primary inspirations.

Her own team, the Haus of Gaga have also had a sensational effect upon fashion, with outlandish styles inspired by Gaga's look even filtering down to the high street.

Also performing during the evening showcase was R&B singer Keri Hilson, while stunning blonde model Jana was crowned the winner of the catwalk-focused program.


The dark side: Gaga opted for a sleek black ensemble for her typically entertaining routine


Cutting edge: Gaga holds a fake head in her left hand after laying down under the guillotine behind her


But as usual, it was Gaga who stole the show, and in the same interview with the Daily Record, the singer - who split from boyfriend Luc Carl earlier this year - also hinted that she might be ready to steal someone's heart, again.

Talking about her heavily made up appearance, she explained: 'I do get laughed at quite a bit by all my friends because they say I go to sleep a lot with my make-up on. But I say that I have to be ready for the man of my dreams!'

The superstar singer also recently spoke about the inspiration behind her new album Born This Way.

Speaking to the NME, she said: 'I was thinking about Madonna, she was a big inspiration and I was thinking about Prince when I was writing.

'There's the industrial sound of German house music too. Whitney Houston's on there too, especially on Marry The Night.'



Heads up: The singer holds a fake head aloft as she crowns her performance on the German show

Purple patch: Coleen Rooney soaks up sun in mauve bikini as Wayne keeps sore £30,000 hair transplant out of the rays

By JODY THOMPSON


Beach bunny: Coleen Rooney spent her day soaking up the sun yesterday - as husband Wayne kept out of the Rays to protect his new hair transplant


At £30,000, it's quite an expensive hair do - so it stands to reason that Wayne Rooney is staying out of the sun to protect his new hair transplant, despite being on holiday in sunny Barbados.

In fact, it seems that the striker's wife Coleen, 25, is soaking up enough sun for two of them instead.

As the pair embarked on day three of their family holiday in Barbados, Coleen spent another day prone on a sunbed as Wayne, 25, kept himself indoors and out of the UV rays while looking after their little boy Kai.

Coleen also debuted yet another new bikini with an abstract mauve pattern - as if to send the message that she and her husband are definitely having a purple patch right now.

The WAG and fashion designer was also seen showing off her bikini body in the sunshine and relaxed her regime to enjoy an ice cold beer in the tropical heat.


New growth: Wayne posted up a picture to show how his hair transplant had progressed - but his head looked a bit purple


Meanwhile, Wayne showed off the latest stirrings on his scalp by posting up a picture on his Twitter page - naturally, taken indoors at their £5m Caribbean mansion.

However, though the Manchester United and England star claimed that it was settling down, it still looked rather sore and after time spent in the sun without a hat, a little sunburned.

Though Wayne has mostly been keeping it covered with a baseball hat, he's still been spotted out on the sands with his barnet bare.

However, he wrote: 'The new hair is coming on people. Swelling gone down #hairwego .'


Caribbean queen: Coleen keeps some water and suncream close by as she enjoys her day on the beach too


His wife Coleen had revealed that the temperatures were a bit much for her husband anyway, writing on her Twitter: 'On the beach, too hot for wayne ha! #hothothot'
Experts warn that too much exposure to rays so soon after the operation could cause the grafts to fail or even change the colour of the hair to make the plugs more noticeable.

In fact, some surgeons recommend keeping the transplant out of direct sunlight for a minimum of four months.

This is because any site where the skin has been cut becomes more sensitive to light, particularly ultraviolet.


Taking care of business: The designer and mother-of-one can't help checking out her emails however


The new plugs also can't protect themselves from over exposure to UV rays and the sun can prevent the transplanted follicles from establishing to their new blood supply - leading them to die.

One hair transplant surgeon told a hair loss website: 'I had a patient who received a sunburn within a month after his transplant.

'He visited the office because of the swelling and asked me to treat it. What I noticed was that while the skin around the transplants became VERY red, the sites where the grafts were implanted were totally WHITE.'


Back to baby: Coleen calls it a day on the beach and returns to the Rooney residence to see husband Wayne and baby Kai


The patient had to be treated with steroids in a desperate move to ease his discomfort - and thankfully saved his new hair.

Meanwhile, despite the designer bikinis, Coleen was keeping it real when she and Wayne went out to dinner last night as her parents looked after baby Kai.

She posted a picture of herself on her Twitter page wearing one of her own designs for catalogue firm Littlewoods.

She wrote: 'Just leaving for dinner in barbados in my Coleen (littlewoods) dress!!!;

Boom Boom WOW! Black Eyed Peas Fergie shows off her incredibly toned legs in tiny Daisy Dukes

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Legs eleven: Black Eyed Peas Fergie showed off her incredibly toned legs in a tiny pair of Daisy Dukes as she left her New York hotel today


She is known to spend endless hours sweating it out in the gym.

And today Black Eyed Peas Fergie showed just how all her hard work pays off as she stepped out in a pair of tiny Daisy Dukes.

The 35-year-old singer's legs looked incredibly toned in the ripped denim shorts as she left her hotel in Manhattan.

Fergie also paired the look with a black satin tuxedo jacket and a t-shirt, that she later perhaps wished she didn't wear.

The black top had the words 'No Sale Is Ever Final' emblazoned across the front in bloody script.

Ironically the charity concert that she was on her way to perform in was cancelled due to bad thunderstorms.

Concert goers were left furious after waiting in the scorching heat to see not only the Peas, but other stars including Natasha Bedingfield, Tony Bennett, Carole King and LL Cool J perform.

Immediately after the cancellation Fergie's bandmate Taboo took to his Twitter account to apologise on behalf of Fergie and the rest of the group.


Ironic: The singer may have later regretted wearing her 'No Sale Is Final' t-shirt, as the charity concert she was meant to be later performing in was cancelled
'Fergie is really sorry it's not happening, we feel horrible,' he wrote. 'We are devastated and Fergie told me to tweet this she loves u all.'

He later posted another tweet that read, 'I hope that the concert will be rescheduled ASAP, our pea-ple deserve it, my peaple from chase and robinhood deserve this NYC we love u.'

The Central concert was to benefit the Robin Hood Foundation, which fights poverty in New York City.

According to reports, fans were so angry they complained that organisers should have warned concert-goers earlier that they dropping the date.

'If they knew it was going to rain tonight they should have cancelled it at 3 P.M'


What would have been: Fergie is seen here posing with British singer Natasha Bedingfield who was also meant to be performing at the ill-fated NYC concert


The Robin Hood Foundation released a statement explaining that it would have been far too dangerous to let the concert go ahead in the extreme conditions.

'The heat wasn't going to stop them, the rain wasn't going to stop them, but the lightning - it stopped them.

'It came down to safety for everyone. Organisers are hoping to reschedule, so ticket buyers should hold onto their tickets. Robinhood.org will have information in the next week or so.'

Keeping it brief: The Saturdays play live in tiny shorts as Nicola Roberts gets over nerves to make solo onstage debut

By JODY THOMPSON

Fierce: The Saturdays took to the stage in Newcastle last night all wearing tiny shorts - apart from a more bashful Rochelle Wiseman (far right)


They've never been afraid of wearing skimpy outfits onstage - but The Saturdays outdid themselves on stage in Newcastle last night.

The girl group were sporting the tiniest of shorts as they played a short set at a gig thrown by the city's radio station, Metro Radio Live.

But it seemed that Rochelle Wiseman was not having one of her more confident days and wore pale denim skintight jeans instead.


Work it: (L-R) Mollie King, Una Healy, Vanessa White, Frankie Sandford and Rochelle were playing a short set at Metro Radio Live at Newcastle Arena - a kind of urban indoor one-day pop festival


However, one person who had most definitely overcome her nerves was Nicola Roberts, who made her live solo debut last night, just days after saying she was dreading going on without her Girls Aloud bandmates.

Talking to MTV earlier this week, she'd revealed: 'I'm nervous and I'm dreading the night before. I know I'm going to be like losing half a stone in weight overnight, so I'm going to have to get myself into the zone.'

She added: 'There does feel like there is a little bit of extra pressure, because it is just me and it feels a little bit like, is that enough, is it enough to just look at that?'


Solo debut: Nicola Roberts got over her nerves to play her first ever live gig without Girls Aloud at the show


Dainty doll: The star threw some shapes as she performed and totally won the screaming crowd over


However, she seemed to quash her butterflies and impressed the crowd, singing debut solo single Beat Of My Drum in a tiny red and pink dress accessorised with a kooky headscarf and multicoloured strappy heels.

Other acts playing the bash included dubstep queen Katy B, Chipmunk, Sophie Ellis Bextor, The Feeling, The Wanted, rapper Example, hot new band The Overtones and Amy Winehouse's goddaughter Dionne Bromfield.

Meanwhile, Nicola has been explaining why she chose to take such a different direction musically with her new single.


Strutting her stuff: Mollie was wearing titchy high-waisted orange shorts and a low cut see-through blue vest top that showed off her black bra


Working with hot underground music producer Diplo, she explained: 'I tried to drum in to him that I wanted these quirky dollops of sound like M.I.A. (who he's worked with before) or Major Lazer (his Jamaican dancehall project).

'Don’t try and make this record come back like a commercial, just-for-radio song with 500 dance synths all over it ‘cause it’s not where I’m trying to go.'

Scouse beauty Nicola also says she feels like she's unleashed her singing voice properly for the first time too.


On song: Frankie belts out one of The Saturday's singles wearing tight striped shorts and a blue top with a distressed denim top half, as Una sports ripped denim and a low cut purple top showing off her red bra


She said: 'I was sick to death of singing the quiet, whispery parts. I was like, no, f*** this, I’m going to sing!'

Talking to MTV, Nicola said it was good that it was so different to Girls Aloud: 'It was important my first single was different to anything else around.

'I love that it’s a song everyone can sing and dance along to.


Earning her stripes: Rochelle has teamed her jeans with a leather jacket and a midriff-exposing tiger print top


Thighs the limit: Una strikes a pose at the Newcastle Arena


Nicola Roberts will be releasing her debut album ‘Cinderella’s Eyes’ in October.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mirror is reporting that Girls Aloud are heading back into the studio in January.

But apparently, the girls are ditching their former producers, hitmakers Xenomania.

A source said: 'At the moment the Girls are really excited about their new beginning, although they are scratching their heads over who will create signature hits for them.

'They’re excited they’re going to be making a fresh start together on this next adventure of their lives.

'In six months time it’ll be back to work as normal – they are itching to get back in the studio.'


An audience with...Sophie Ellis Bextor was also on the bill at the bash


The band are reportedly set to reform to celebrate their 10th anniversary next year at a special festival for the London 2012 Olympics at the O2 Arena.

Nicola though is onstage again for a hometown gig at Liverpool's Radio City Live tonight, before playing T4 On The Beach on 10 July.

Beat Of My Drum is then released on 18 July.

Meanwhile, MTV Music show On Set With Nicola Roberts is on at 2pm tomorrow.
And the next Metro Radio Live is on 7 July and features JLS and Olly Murs.

After Chantelle's PETA photocall outside the Houses of Parliament earlier this week, which saw the former Big Brother star dress up as a sexy tiger, Alex tweeted her: 'Well done for today babe. Wanna get with me in a cage? X'
Chantelle later replied: 'Aww thanks baby! erm...ok! haha. mwah X'


Close: The couple held hands as they left the party at London's York Hall

'A breath of fresh air': Leggy Nicole is a hit at U.S. X Factor auditions as Cheryl becomes 'the invisible woman'

By SARA NATHAN

At your service: Nicole Scherzinger poses with excitable fans as she arrives at the second day of auditions in New Jersey for the U.S. X Factor today


She is still in hiding after her dreams of cracking America on the X Factor USA were shattered.

And yesterday, Cheryl Cole actually became the invisible woman as Simon Cowell introduced her replacement on the TV talent show – singer Nicole Scherzinger.

To ear-splitting applause from the crowd, the X Factor judges walked out to greet the audience at the auditions in New Jersey.


'Invisible woman': Nicole showed off her longs legs in a metallic grey dress with a studded belt, seen right the woman she replaced, Cheryl Cole on her first day of auditions in Los Angeles last month


Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, L.A. Reid and Nicole Scherzinger beamed as they made their introductions.

And it was a case of ‘Cheryl, who’s Cheryl?’ as Miss Scherzinger, 32, was introduced to the crowd by Cowell as ‘our own answer to Cruella de Vil.’

It was as if Mrs Cole had never even been on set as the slender brunette then triumphantly punched the air, making it clear that she deserved the job, screaming: ‘What’s up New Jersey? How are you? Y’all feeling good today?’


It's Saula: Simon Cowell has given Nicole high praise, saying she is like a breath of fresh air, but it was Paula Abdul who he was lauding with attention as the pair shared a smooch as they arrived today


Pretty in pink: Paula stood out in a bright short dress, teamed with Christian Louboutin heels


Clad in a figure-hugging green jumpsuit and gold stilettos, the singer added: ‘I don’t know if you all know this, but today is my first day on the job for the X Factor – I’m here for you. I’m at your service, New Jersey.’

‘So please, please, lets have some fun and let’s show X Factor some love!’

The former Pussycat Doll singer was promoted from show co-host to a judge after Mrs Cole, 27, was removed from the panel after filming four auditions.


Unbreakable bond: Simon and Paula were very touchy-feely as they greeted the waiting media and fans outside the arena


Say cheese: Former Pussycat Doll Nicole poses with fellow judge L.A. Reid, who looked dapper in a suit with brown suede shoes


And speaking after the first round of auditions at the Prudential Centre in Newark, New Jersey, music mogul Cowell told the Daily Mail: ‘Didn’t’ Nicole do well? She was terrific.

‘She’s a great addition to the panel, she’ll be great. She’s just what we needed – she’s a breath of fresh air.’

The entire judging panel looked terribly cosy as Miss Abdul, 48 cuddled, up to Cowell , 51,and Miss Scherzinger bantered with record executive Reid.



Lively: Nicole was loving all the attention she was getting as she posed for photos and spoke to the Press


And when asked if they knew who Mrs Cole was, audience members professed ignorance and one said: ‘We don’t know her in America.’

An onlooker said: ‘It was as if Cheryl had never been there at all, everyone looked happy and relaxed. It was like she had been rubbed out of the show.’

Mrs Cole is yet to make a public appearance after flying home to England from the auditions in Chicago two weeks ago.

The star was removed from the U.S. judging panel after being told by TV executives that she had lost her ‘sparkle.’


Meet my new BFF: Nicole posted a picture with fellow U.S. X Factor judge Paula on her Twitter page


The move then sparked a 10-day standoff beween her and Cowell that ended in her snubbing a £2.5 million offer to return to the U.K. X Factor – and finally an 11th hour offer to try again as a judge on the U.S. show.

She turned down the offer to return to America on Monday, leaving Miss Scherzinger - who was a guest judge at the U.K. X Factor auditions last year - to fill her high heels.

A show source said: ‘Nicole is feisty, she’s loud, she gets the crowd going – and she’s ambitious.

‘In short, she’s exactly what the X Factor needs. She was great on the first day and managed to spar with Cowell and the rest of the judges.’

Speaking earlier this week, Cowell told the Mail that it had been a ‘rough few weeks.’


Having a blast: Crowds assemble outside the Prudential Center in New Jersey


What a line-up: These are the first auditions to be filmed with Scherzinger as a judge


Coming soon: X Factor starts airing from September in the U.S. on the Fox network
