Another reason why the super may have been pissed at Lady Gaga

[Photo by Cat Sitter in the City]

Yesterday, our friend Cat Sitter in the City told us that Lady Gaga was giving Anderson Cooper and film crew a tour of her old Lower East Side haunts, including her onetime home at 176 Stanton. This apparently ticked off the super, who called the NYPD to complain about her intrusion...

In any case, as a tipster told us, perhaps the super didn't want anyone to know that workers were renovating part of the building — without any proper permits from the DOB.

Also, several readers pointed out that this interview will be part of Cooper's "60 Minutes" feature on Lady Gaga that airs before the Grammy Awards on Feb. 13.

Anderson Cooper interviews Lady Gaga on Stanton Street; police called


Exciting international news developing now on Stanton Street ... CNN's Anderson Cooper with camera crew is interviewing former LES resident Lady Gaga. And our very own Cat Sitter in the City is on the scene. She filed a live report ... Lady Gaga is showing Anderson her old stomping grounds at 176 Stanton... it appears that they enter the building for a tour... afterwards, the pair walk toward Clinton Street, where a police car pulls up. Lady Gaga says hello, etc. They move on. Then! The police car pulls in front of 176 Stanton, where someone who could be the super emerges and starts screaming and gesturing. Basically, he's pe-od that Lady Gaga got into the building... Minutes later, the super is still screaming.

One other note. "She was not dressed properly for the weather," Cat Sitter reports. "But she's Lady Gaga." So, no sleeves, stockings, that kind of thing.

East Village Eatery etc.: Leaving Lady GaGa unattended at ApizzA; riding bartenders at Cheap Shots; building a sidewalk cafe at Cienfuegos

The former Pinisi Bakery branch on First Avenue near First Street has quickly morphed into a /sandwich/noodle/rice shop....



Cienfuegos, a four-part planned series of Cuban-themed bars and restaurants at Sixth Street and Avenue A, is getting its shelter for the planned sidewalk cafe...



...and during yesterday's rain, parts of the overhang were flapping around in the wind....



Subtle humor at Cafe 81 on Seventh Street... "Beat off the heat..."



Gem Spa is seeing some daylight...




...and the punching game thing is gone!



The recently reopened Hanover Cafe at the former Mondo Kim's on St. Mark's has yet another addition...hope the sushi bar was put in after they were shuttered....



ApizzA's Lady Gaga sidewalk board on Avenue A was left unattended Saturday morning!



This would look cool in the Grieve living room, which is also the kitchen.



And just checking out another recent chalkboard sign at Cheap Shots/Spanky's on First Avenue ... Hey, working here people!



...still definitely leaving the youthful crowd behind!

Sorry, wrong number

The Graffiti Friend of EV Grieve (GFOEVG) inexplicably passed along photos from Lady GaGa's new video. And I inexplicably posted one.

Lady Gaga is on the cover of Rolling Stone's annual Hot List



In the cover interview the GaGaster admits that she's been disappointed by her boyfriends' reaction to the fact that she's sexually attracted to women. "The fact that I'm into women, they're all intimidated by it," she says. "It makes them uncomfortable. They're like, 'I don't need to have a threesome. I'm happy with just you.'"

Bonus excerpt!:

Lady Gaga's devotion to being a star drove her to order bags of cocaine and spend hours perfecting her hair and makeup in a tiny Lower East Side apartment after she dropped out of NYU several years ago — well before she was actually famous. "It was quite sick," she admits.

Like a Virgin Megastore going-out-of-business sale (groan)



As you may have heard, the Virgin Megastore is closing on Union Square. I was finally lured in Saturday like a sucker with the "up to 40 percent" off signs... Also, I wanted to make a bid on the Lady GaGa banner in the window. (Unfortunately, my offer of "You pay for the can of gas and I'll rip it down and set it on fire on 14th Street" wasn't accepted.)



Well, as for the rest of the store. The new CDs that are usually marked for sale with a $13.99 sticker over the $18.99 sticker...were all $18.99 again. And they were 25 percent off. Ditto for the DVDs. Most new DVDs were $24.99. So with the 25 percent off -- you're pretty much paying what you were paying before the store was going out of business. I'm sure there were bargains elsewhere. Or not. I didn't stick along long enough to dig. Oh, one thing I saw for 40% off? Stationery! Which was all sold out. And the Blondie pocketbooks were also 40% off.

"A police officer told me to put my ass up against the fence because I was not appropriately attired to be seen by children"


Excerpts from the Lady Gaga profile in the Sunday Post:

Lady Gaga sums up her life in eight words: "I am a self-made New York hustler."

Born in Yonkers, she cut her teeth in Manhattan clubs like the Mercury Lounge and Bitter End, and spent time toiling behind the pop curtain writing tunes for the likes of Britney Spears, New Kids on the Block and the Pussy Cat Dolls.

And!

"I was wearing very short hot pants and a police officer told me to put my ass up against the fence because I was not appropriately attired to be seen by children. I told him I was an artist, but he didn't care. Where I come from they were just normal hot pants, but in Chicago they were indecent."
