NEW YORK (CBS) Lady Gaga's  red carpet arrival at Grammy Awards did not disappoint - the singer, who is nominated for six awards, showed up on the red carpet in a giant, semi-transparent egg.

Gaga was carried down the carpet by five half-dressed attendees.

Her Twitter page gave a bit of insight into what she might be up to.

"This is Nicola, Haus of Gaga: Gaga is in incubation," stylist Nicola Formichetti posted on the singer's page. "Tonight's performance is in collaboration with Hussein Chalayan and House of Mugler. X"

Formichetti also wrote about the singer's arrival on his own Twitter account. "Grammys red carpet," he tweeted. "Lady gaga wears Mugler by nicola formichetti. Womb by hussein Chalayan. Gaga's pryers are in haus of gaga in collaboration with Mugler. My baby is been born."

Gaga, interviewed Sunday by Anderson Cooper on "60 Minutes,"  is set to perform her new song, "Born This Way," during the live Grammys telecast. She is nominated for Album of the Year, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Dance Recording and Best Short Form Music Video.

For all you gaga haters... 1. She may not be 100% original, but what artist is? No artist is 100% original because they all have influences that drive them to do what they do. 2. She does have talent and a ton of it. She can play the piano like a maniac and has a voice that doesn't need a million machines to make it sound good like most pop artists nowadays. 3. She IS different and weird and a freak but that's what makes her awesome. Is it all an act? I don't think so but it doesn't matter. She's advocating personal freedom to be who you are no matter what other people think. So your just proving her point by complaining about her. And lastly ITS A VESSEL NOT AN EGG! and if it looks like any object in particular, it looks like a cocoon. :D Gaga is my girl!

Lady Gaga is extremly attention-starved. Enough to call upon pagan goddesses? When she was in the egg she was depicting Eostre (Easter!) the goddess of spring! Full story here: http://******/akXO3

Well... now we all know why her face is incomplete. She hatched out of her egg way too soon!

This is the best the music business has to offer??? The dumbing down of America continues . . .

[spunkets]

Personally, I think she has every right to be as boring, bland, untalented, unintelligent, unsexy and generally repulsive a person as she (apparently) aspires to be.

She's only milking the system for what she can;

like any normal-thinking Wall Street banker, Washington politician, TV evangelist, local drug dealer, pharmeceutical company, oil exec., insurance salesman, media journalist, or average business man would do.

Watching the fall of the empire...
is utterly entertaining.

Everyone has their "thing" that they do. Some people like them, and some people don't. Get over it. If you don't like them, then don't watch them. Move on.

Now if you want something to b*tch about, I suggest starting a petition to get Bieber to change his hair "doo". : )

What a piece of s***, selfish, ...

[RedWings_ninety_one]

She reminds me of the scene in 300 of King Xerxes, when he was meeting the spartan leader and coming off of his giant ass throne and using people as his stairs, selfish and arrogant.

She certainly does deserve something for originality! Seems she never runs out of shocking ideas!

[anitaymoore]

The problem is...she's NOT original. She's doing the SAME thing other performers have done. David Bowie with Ziggy Stardust, Cher with her wild costumes, Madonna with her costumes and antics (she's even ripped Madonna off), Elton John (esp in the 70's), even Liberace with his outrageous costumes and stage shows. She's NOT original at all and her sound is nothing but synthesized mediocrity...so she has to try to get people's attention by shocking them. She won't be around nearly as long as any other other performers I mentioned.

I'm very sure her intention behind that stupid egg-get up was to make people go "who is that?" because you could barely see her...therefore people had to really look to see, which is what she wanted.

Elton John is to L. Gaga as Checkers is to Chess. She's taken things to another level completely. Boring singers are a dime a dozen. There is only one L. Gaga. Personally, I've grown tired of watching singers whose only claim to fame is that they screech into a microphone while a computer corrects their pitch.


Also, wasn't her entrance more interesting than watching hours of self congratulation and hype by the music industry?

This wack-job sums up all that is wrong with the modern confomed notions of pop culture, and furthermore how disgusting a race we are turning it to.

This woman presents, and gives nothing of value to society, or humanity.

Only in this backwards society can someone as detached from reality as lady blahblah given a voice to the masses through a unimpressive skillset as "Music" (I use the word loosely as what she makes is anything but music), i can't wait for that global disaster that wipes out 90% of the world's population, fingers crossed the last 10% will be comprised of 5% of the 90% that currently make up todays world, and they will be unable to survive a post-apocolyptic world, and thus become extinct :)

Lady Gag-Gag is a nutcase.
