Lady Gaga considering legal action against breast milk ice cream purveyor
While Lady Gaga may enjoy being outrageous—she arrived at this year’s Grammys in an egg-like vessel in which she’d reportedly been incubating for 72 hours before her performance—she apparently doesn’t have a taste for human breast milk ice cream. Gaga’s lawyers began legal proceedings against the ice cream parlour Icecreamists for its latest flavour, which was recently confiscated by authorities over health concerns. The problem? It’s called “Baby Gaga.”
According to the London Evening Standard, Gaga’s team is accusing Icecreamists of “riding on the coattails” of the pop superstar by using a similar moniker for its product and employing a waitress dressed like Gaga to serve the treat. The legal team demands that Icecreamists “change the name of the ice cream to something which is not aurally, visually or conceptually similar to Lady Gaga,” the Standard reports, because the dessert is detrimental to her image by being “deliberately provocative and, to many people, nausea-inducing.” Why this should be a problem for Gaga we’re not entirely sure. We’re also not sure whether the irony of those statements is lost on shop owner Matt O’Connor, who, in appropriately hyperbolic terms, said he’d fight until the end against Gaga’s claims. “This is a David versus Goliath battle I’m convinced we will eventually win,” he told the Standard.

omg… i love gaga no matter what she does or wears she is my inspiration and the reason why i love her is cause she is her self and that is all that matters .
I love love LOVE your new song it has a great message in it and it’s just awesome so ya oh and i think your AWESOME too ^_^ that all i wanted to say.
Lady Ga Ga three words for you GET A LIFE before you became GaGa there was something that Adults said to babies before you were even born and that was GoGo GaGa. I doubt you can trade mark GaGa and anyone that does is useless like someone trade marking a circle, it can’t be done end of story. Lady GaGa think before you start a witch hunt on the word GaGa especially a mothers milk ice cream company. The only one that is riding the coattails is you.
i personally don’t like lady gaga , but what i can say is that there’s nothing wrong with her new song , born this way … and it’s actually a really nice song if you just listen to the words properly.!
My dear Lady,
I don’t know of what or how to advise you, but I trust that you know what you’re doing.
love, Marvin
I agree with Lady Gaga !
She’s obviously not as cool as she would have us believe.
Wow thats a stretch…..so anything with Gaga is hers? So Prince should get all up in arms over the chicken place here named Prince

Just FYI, Breast milk creations were first done by Jess Dobson, Canadian performance artist, so the ice cream idea is actually a rip-off of that.
An i mean that literally! Gaga, who first ripped off gay club kid Leigh Bowery’s outfits for her videos; then Madonna for style/music in Alejandro and now I Was Born That Way; then Jana Sterbeck (also CDN) for the meat dress (which Sterbak did way back in the late 80’s!!); and various other performace artists for her various masks and head dresses — has no right to oppose the word gaga — which BTW, is what babies say everyday – associated with this product.
But she’s right about the nausea. Lady Gaga makes me sick all the time.
Ridiculous… makes me regret even liking some of her songs when i hear stuff like this egomaniac! She could be waitressing soon if she keeps it up. Thank you Rob – http://LI-Roofers.com
