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 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".[2]
Jason Segel has written a cameo for her in The Muppets, but her involvement in the movie has yet to be confirmed.[3]
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.
