Lady Gaga and Anderson Cooper. It's a match made in heaven! On Sunday at 7 p.m. before the Grammy Awards, "60 Minutes" features an in-depth profile of Gaga, 24, the pop star formerly known as Stefani Germanotta.
He'll chat with her about her path from college drop-out to superstar, her philosophy on fame, and her new album.
And Gaga finds out that she may be wildly popular, but not all doors immediately open for her. Literally. Cooper takes her to the apartment where she lived before she became famous and the occupants refuse to let her in.
This Sunday, Lady Gaga tells Anderson Cooper about 'life before the glamour' on television during an interview that looks back at her life.
That quote comes from MTV, who announced that this week's 60 Minutes includes an up-close-and-personal visit with the super star. She is accompanied by the articulate newsman as the two go back to where Lady Gaga once lived in a lower East side tenement.
Sadly, Gaga, Cooper and crew were not permitted entry into her old New York apartment so instead the tribe hung around the skinny stairwell of the building to look at some memory objects Gaga brought along. One of these relics was the first song Mama Monster ever scribed, called, ironically, Dollar Bills.
Lady Gaga. who now has literally tons of dollar bills, has quite a bit to say as she talks to Anderson Cooper about life before, during and after 'the glamour' that brought all this money thanks to her artistry, ambition, and awesomeness.
