The Haus of Gaga should start working out how to stitch turkey, stuffing, mistletoe, crackers and fairy lights to fabric. Crackpot LADY GAGA plans to release a "festive album" this December. Any excuse to get a new outfit?
The New Yorker will follow in the footsteps of BOB THE BUILDER and CLIFF RICHARD by having a crack at the Christmas No1.
And why not? Latest album Born This Way looks likely to shift 250,000 copies in the UK in its first week. Maybe the figures were helped by these promo shots.
The singer let her Christmas secret slip during a chinwag with an unlikely pal - STEPHEN FRY. She said: "I thought it would be really sweet to do a Christmas release of GaGa and the jazz standards. I really want to do it. I've spoken to my manager."
Stephen has interviewed the singer for the Financial Times this Saturday. After all, she knows how to make, and spend, a few quid.
GaGa's Christmas creation will take her in a different direction from the electro sound on her new album. But "jazz standards" sound a bit worrying.
At Radio 1's Big Weekend this month she gave a glimpse of her new direction by singing NAT KING COLE classic Orange Coloured Sky. The long trumpet solo raised a few eyebrows.
Before she hit the big time in 2008 GaGa released a cover of Deck The Halls called Christmas Tree - so she already has one festive song in the bag. As she hasn't yet announced details of her next tour, GaGa has time to hit the studio and get in the festive spirit.
I'm all for it. Not enough stars embrace Christmas. And if Mr Blobby can top the charts on December 25, why can't a woman wearing a hamster wheel on her head and with Toblerone shoulders?
