Lady Gaga (born Stefani Germanotta in 1986) is an American recording artist.
She took Kermit the Frog as her date to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.[1] In an interview with Perez Hilton, Miss Piggy dismissed the concept of them dating, saying that "No, no I don’t talk about lies. I talk about truth."[2]
In 2010, The Monster Ball Tour featured creations by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
She also made headlines wearing a top made entirely of plush Kermit the Frogs by Jean Charles de Castelbajac on German television. She wore the outfit as a statement against wearing fur as it "looked like a bunch of dead Muppets".[3]
Jason Segel had written a cameo for her in The Muppets, but she does not appear in the finished movie. It seems that either she never filmed a scene, or her scene was filmed, but cut (like many other cameos).[4]
On March 28, 2011, Gaga's 25th birthday, Ellen DeGeneres called the artist from her daily talk show, The Ellen Degeneres Show, to wish her a happy birthday. During the call, Ellen presented a birthday cake to the singer, commemorating a number of famous outfits that the artist wore throughout her young career, including a Kermit the Frog face, facing the audience.
