DuringLady
Gaga‘s 90-minute Thanksgiving special,
A Very Gaga Thanksgiving, she revealed that she got naked so thatTony Bennettcould sketch some
nude pictures of her for an upcoming issue ofVanity Fair magazine.
“I walked in and said, ‘Well
Tony, here we are’ and I dropped my robe and I got into position,” the singer explained. “I felt shy and thought, ‘It’s Tony
Bennett, why am I naked?’ ”
Gaga, 25, and Bennett, 85, recorded “
The Lady Is a Tramp” together for Bennett’s “Duets II” album. The Thanksgiving special opened with the two performing that very track.
Gaga later praised Bennett, saying, “He’s so handsome. I feel
terrible whenever his wife is around because he’s so charming and such a
gentleman.”
Bennett also had high praise for Gaga.
“She is the most beautiful person I ever met but there is something special about her.”
Gaga was also interviewed byKatie Couricduring the special, talking
about her personal life, romances, and why she doesn’t talk about her
love life.
She performed a slew of her hits, including “Born This Way” and “Edge of Glory” too.
The special issue of Vanity Fair featuring the nude sketches will be
released next year. The idea was dreamed up by photographerAnnie
