Lady Gaga Scarecrow Keeps Birds Away

Apparently, not everyone is a fan of Lady Gaga's envelope-pushing style: namely, birds.

British farmer Nigel Britten claims his farm has been pigeon-free since he dressed a scarecrow on his Surrey property as Lady Gaga, 3am reports.

(Makes sense. Everyone knows that birds are more into Katy Perry.)

Britten reportedly got the idea to dress his scarecrow in layered white sheets, face mask and towering platinum wig after seeing Lady Gaga's identical getup at this month's Brit Awards.

"We were laughing at Lady Gaga's outfit and that extraordinary wig and talking about how scary she looked," the wheat farmer told the source.

"We've been worried about the increasing audacity of birds on our farms for some time. I was tearing my hair out because the pigeons were taking all the corn after planting.

"I know it's not a traditional scarecrow, but I suppose we have to move with the times. I don't know whether it's the dress or the hair but the birds daren't approach the field anymore."

Hey, whatever works. And if Gaga's 15 minutes of fame ever run out, it's good to know that she can always fall back on some farmwork.

Meanwhile, see what Lady Gaga will be wearing on her tour.

OU812IC?

To bjg24m: She is also good at making money. She earns on average 100,000. pounds a day. (England) convert that to US money and it's about 170,000 per DAY. So it's safe to say she is certainly good for something. So making a year about 62 MILLION makes her good for something, which means it makes her better then YOU, who has nothing better to do then sit at your comp and judge and make fun of people...Now tell us ALL what YOU are good for???

To OU812 so she makes alot of money..so do the drug dealers and Madoffs of this world. Is making money a measure of one's character or even talent (spice girls)? Some say this woman is talented, I say her "music" is regurgitated pop crap that has been done many times before (the eighties). A she dresses the a crack ho from Mars. Still she makes money (not from me) so I wish her good luck and happy trails as she keeps on making craptastic stuff the sells (miley cyrus).

Saying that the scarecrow looks like Lady Ret@rd is an insult to all scarecrows worldwide. Lady Skanka is a worthless oiece of trash that needs put out to the curb... ayone who idoilizes this pathetic excuse for an entertainer is just as ridiculous as the 'pantless' shemale Lada ImAMoron...

Lady GaGa's really talented, and obviously has some sort of public approval over a damn farmer.so instead of knocking someone who since childhood has been working and writing her own music, you focus on America's biggest daddy cash ins like Hannah Montana, or The Jonas Brothers or all the other musicians who really just happen to have daddy set them up.You're a bunch of idiots, and don't know a damn thing but how to insult someone who is much better than you of out jealousy for money and fame you'll most likely never achieve.

How old are you people? "Lady ret@rd", "lady gag gag" "well at least the scarecrow has a brain"...gee, that's just SO funny and clever. And spelling America with a k...you people really need to grow up. If you don't like Lady Gaga then don't bother looking at a story with her name in it simple as that. She gets her fans as well as idiots like to pay attention with her wild style so either way it's good for her, just sad for people like you that probably don't have a creative bone in your body.

Right on!
It must suck to be so close-minded and ignorant! Oh I am sorry, can all of you sing(amazingly), dance, design shows and play the piano fantastically(self taught at 4 years old)-all the while living out your dream doing what you love, having a blast and never having to worry about money again because you make millions! ......... I thought so.

I've had "Bad Romance" in my head for 2 weeks now, and it doesn't seem to want to leave. However, I have slightly modified the lyrics:

Rah Rah, sis-boom-bah!
One/Two, cha cha cha!
Yo Yo, Yo-Yo Ma;
Want your bad romance......

A rather catchy little tune, ain't it?

Lady gaga is a male, as recently publicized. Too much testosterone for a lady.

I hope Lady GaGa becomes the next female Elton John
