Lady GaGa denies hermaphrodite rumours

Lady Gaga has branded claims she is a hermaphrodite "ridiculous".

The 'Poker Face' singer furiously denied rumours she has both male and female genitalia, insisting the speculation has gone beyond a joke.

The 23-year-old star told Australia's Matt and Jo radio show: "It's too low brow for me to even discuss. I've made fun of it before but to talk about it is ridiculous."

Gaga - whose real name is Stefani Germanotta - has previously made light of the claims, jokingly posting on a blog: "I have both male and female genitalia, but I consider myself a female."

Meanwhile, the outrageous star has revealed she spends her free time watching her own concerts on YouTube.

She said: "I like to watch my performances sometimes. I'm always trying to improve on choreography and the stage shows. I like to watch the lighting.

"I often argue with my lighting designer on the show - as much as I like to light the show for the room, it's important to light the show and design the sound for YouTube.

"In truth, lots of my fans can't make it to my shows in Israel or Germany or in Paris, so they go online to watch them."

Roisin Murphy accuses GaGa of copying her

ROISIN MURPHY has declared that Lady GaGa has copied her style and attempted to make it her own.

The former Moloko star said she was responsible for the Poker Face star's outrageous dress sense which includes oversized hats, thigh-high boots and daring headpieces.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Murphy said: "She's copied my style. I met her about a year ago before she got really big and I had no clue that this was all going to happen. She wasn't wearing shoulder pads at the time, and I was.

"Lady Gaga is just a poor imitation of me. She has copied my style, she took my shoulder pads and all that. Mind you she doesn't wear the bottom half!"

GaGa stuns Germans in Kermit outfit

Lady GaGa has shocked fans in Germany by attending an interview wearing an outfit made up entirely of Kermit the Frogs.

The 'Paparazzi' singer, who last week donned a gimp mask to a press conference in Malta, wore the extravagant costume ahead of a live show in Munich.

"My friends and I in New York, this is the life we live, we believe in vanity," the 23-year-old said.

"I dress this way all the time because it inspires my life. I dress this way as my whole life is art and my whole life is performance."
