A Lady Gaga comment on Twitter sparked an uproar Thursday in Thailand. After arriving for a Friday concert, Gaga tweeted: “I just landed in Bangkok baby! Ready for 50,000 screaming Thai monsters. I wanna get lost in a lady market and buy fake Rolex.”

Looks like we have another juicy superstar feud on our hands. I’m talking about the zinger-slinging started when Madonna sarcastically zapped Lady Gaga with subtle slams implying the younger singer was something of a copycat of songs from the onetime Material Girl’s early career.
Then Madonna upped the ante by adding a bit of “Born This Way” — widely regarded as the Gaga song most derivative of her own — to her concert set list.
According to those close to Gaga, the entertainer has had it with the sniping and is firing back — both in public and behind closed doors. I’ve heard the term “Menopausal Mom” has been heard coming from Gaga as she talked about Madonna privately in recent days. Of course, the fantasy-centric fashionista made a public comment about Madonna during a New Zealand concert last week, telling her fans, “It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves to put other people down, or make fun of them, or maybe make mockery of their work. … And that doesn’t make me feel good at all. That just makes me feel like I’m not a good human being. I don’t even want to fight back because it’s more important to me to keep writing music. Because that’s really all I care about, is the music.” Many believe that flash of flesh “It’s all making for some good gossip,” said one of Our Town’s biggest Obama boosters, “but I’ve been told that’s all it is — juicy gossip.” That’s also what Dem insider calls the talk about
Cate Edwards, is said to be particularly unhappy about Hunter going public — believing it will add even more “face time” to her dad’s disgrace.
