Lady Gaga (born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta; March 28, 1986) is an American recording artist. She had enrolled at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts to study music, but left the college and began performing in the rock music scene of New York City's Lower East Side. She soon signed with Streamline Records, an imprint of Interscope Records, upon its establishment in 2007. During her early time at Interscope, she worked as a songwriter for fellow label artists and captured the attention of Akon, who recognized her vocal abilities, and got her signed to his own label, Kon Live Distribution.

Lady Gaga is inspired by glam rock musicians such as David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, as well as pop music artists such as Madonna and Michael Jackson. She has also stated fashion is a source of inspiration for her songwriting and performances.

Lady GaGa, born Stefani Gabriella Germanotta, is a dance pop singer/songwriter best known for her hit song "Just Dance" with Akon. She grew up in the Upper East Side of Manhattan and attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart, the same private school attended by Nicky and Paris Hilton. She began playing the piano at age 4 and was writing songs as early as age 13. At the age of 14, she began playing open mic nights at New York club Bitter End and at the age 17 was one of only 20 students worldwide to receive early admission to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.

In 2006, she began working with music producer Rob Fusari, who had worked with artists such as Beyonce and Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child. The name, Lady GaGa, came out when he would call her GaGa as a nickname, from the song "Radio Ga-Ga" by Queen when Fusari would liken her to lead singer Freddie Mercury. She began performing all over New York City clubs and her theatrical pop act started to create buzz for the artist.

She was initially signed to Def Jam Records at the age of 19 but was dropped three months later. The singer then caught the eye of Inter-scope Records chairman Jimmy Iovine and was hired as a songwriter. She started to pen for other artists, including the Pussycat Dolls, before pairing up with rapper Akon and he signed her to a joint deal with Kon Live.

Her first single, "Just Dance", featured Akon and R&B singer Colby O'Donis and shot up to 1 in Canada and Australia. Her album, The Fame, was just released in the United States. She is also writing for other artists such as Britney Spears and New Kids on the Block

Megan Fox will not play the role of Mikaela Banes in the third 'Transformers 3' movie

"Megan Fox dropped from Transformers 3"

Megan Fox has been axed from "Transformers 3," Access Hollywood has confirmed.

A source at Paramount, the studio behind the film, told Access that Megan, who played star Shia LaBeouf's love interest in the franchise, would not return for the third movie.

"Megan Fox will not be starring in 'Transformers 3,'" the reps told the mag. "It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best."

Megan compared her director to "Hitler" and "Napoleon" during an interview with Britain's Wonderland Magazine's September/October 2009 issue.

"He's like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation," Megan said at the time.

"He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is," she continued. "So he's a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward."

Shortly thereafter, members of the "Transformers" crew posted an open letter on the director's site, condemning the actress for her behavior on set, calling Megan, "the grump of the set," as well as "thankless, classless, graceless" and "unfriendly."

The 24-year-old actress - who has previously compared franchise director Michael Bay to Adolf Hitler - will not reprise the role of Mikaela Banes in the third instalment, with studio Paramount Pictures refusing to confirm the reason why.

However, representatives for Megan claim it was her decision to leave the movie.

A spokesperson said: "Megan Fox will not be starring in 'Transformers 3'. It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best."

Sources have told Variety another actress will be cast as Shia LaBeouf's love interest in the movie.

John Malkovich, Patrick Dempsey and Ken Jeong have all been confirmed for roles in the film, which is due for release on July 1, 2011.

'Transformers' and the sequel 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' grossed more than $1.5 billion at the box office worldwide, making it Paramount's most valuable franchise.

Megan will next be seen in Jimmy Hayward's action thriller 'Jonah Hex' alongside Josh Brolin and Will Arnett, due for release in the US on June 18.
