Lady Gaga 'Doing Prep' For Tour, Next Album

By Jocelyn Vena

Lady Gaga is hard at work. The Mother Monster is already coming up with ideas for 2012's Born This Way Tour and even thinking about her next album. When MTV News caught up with pal and musical collaborator DJ White Shadow, he talked about what the Haus has in store for Gaga.

"She's doing prep for the next round of touring, and she's always doing 25,000 things in a row," he told MTV News last week when he stopped by to chat about the opening of Gaga's pop-up holiday shop at Barneys. "But I think the main focus for her after this season is going to be prepping up for the show, touring new songs for the record."

Gaga has hinted that she'd like to get Elton John on this next record, but, right now, anything goes. White Shadow — who has worked with Gaga extensively on Born This Way, including on the tracks "Born This Way" and "Americano" — is ready to drop everything to collaborate with Gaga again.

"I want to try and be as close to it as possible, that way I don't have to wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning and fly to L.A. or wherever or Japan or wherever she's starting to do stuff," he explained. "Maybe when the tour starts, she's working all the time. I send her stuff and she sends stuff. She's always working on something. It just depends. I know she likes to write when she's on the road, [so maybe she'll make a] new album during the tour."

Given the pair's track record, expect across-the-board sounds on the next project. "The kind of stuff that I send her, some of it is so crazy that I don't know what you'd call it," he said. "When I make stuff ... I know what's for her and what's not for her. Some of it's structured as songs and some of it is structured as madness, and she goes through it like a gold miner."

Dita Von Teese models her new lingerie range

Dita Von Teese is launching her lingerie line next year. In the grand scheme of celebrity collections, this makes more sense than, say, Kanye going guns blazing into womenswear : the woman spends more time in her bras and knickers than proper clothes, so should know a thing or two about designing the stuff.

As expected from old Hollywood-aping Von Teese, the line, called Von Follies, is vintage-inspired and includes bras, high-waisted pants, garter belts and corselettes (think swimsuit shape, shapewear function). Details like grosgrain, velvet ribbons and lace apparently "give the essence of the sultry Fifties glamour girl," according to a press release. Or, say, Von Teese? Naturally, she's the face of her range (see picture).

The Fifties styling extends to the sizing, which seems to have the era's figure in mind: selected bras will go up to an E cup, and knickers to a UK size 18.

Australia gets first dibs on the collection next February, before it's rolled out internationally.

Rihanna turns designer for Armani

The singer has turned her hand to designing jeans and lingerie for the Italian fashion giant.

Bajan pop sensation Rihanna might love to rock a neon, bejewelled bra and fishnets on stage, but when's she's off-duty, she can often be seen in a T-shirt and simple pair of jeans - just like the rest of us.

It is fitting then, that she has chosen to team up with Emporio Armani Jeans and underwear - of whom she is currently the face - to create a capsule collection of casual pieces.

The range features two styles of jeans in a tight boyfriend fit and skinny leg; a leather biker jacket; a canvas bag and two T-shirts - one emblazoned with an illustration of the 23-year-old, the other featuring Rihanna's "R" logo. Admirers of the bandana headband which RiRi wore during her X Factor performance last weekend will be pleased to hear that a similarly styled belt also features in the collection.

Not forgetting that underwear is just as important as outerwear, the 'Rihanna for Emporio Armani' lacy bra and knicker sets come in cobalt blue and pearl grey and are ideal for everyday wear.
