Lady Gaga Compares To 'Nightmare' Killer Freddy Krueger In This Week's Fashion Friday!
Every week, Hollywood Crush will take a look at some of Lady Gaga's most memorable fashions in what we're calling "Gaga Fashion Friday." Whether it's something new she's dazzling us with that week or a vintage style, we'll bring you the insider scoop on every wacky moment the pop star has left us all talking about.
In case you never thought about it, Lady Gaga and Freddy Krueger have a lot in common. OK, well not really, but Freddy is a monster and Gaga has little monsters. Not only that, but Gaga certainly has some monster like fashion qualities.
Freddy Krueger has hands with razor-like claws and in the "Bad Romance" video, Gaga wears sunglasses made of razors. Also, Krueger was burned in a fire, and in that same video, Gaga plays with fire. And, in that video she's sitting in a tub, and Krueger has been known to sneak up on people in tubs.
Plus, Gaga has killed her fair share of people — uh, in videos that is. She killed off her beau, "True Blood" hottie Alexander Skarsgard, in the "Paparazzi" video. And, she helped Beyonce poison her BF in the "Telephone" video, where she "accidentally" killed everyone else in the diner.
So, while Gaga and Krueger aren't exactly the same, we have to say that Gaga sometimes can be a little terrifying!

"Need You Now" by Lady Antebellum
Formed in 2006 by Charles Kelley (brother of singer/songwriter Josh Kelley), Hillary Scott (daughter of Grammy-winning country artist Linda Davis), and Dave Haywood,
Lady Antebellum makes contemporary country music that relies on the trio's rich harmonies and impeccable instrumental skills. Since its inception, the trio has graduated from dive bars to the Grand Ole Opry, opening for Phil Vassar, Rodney Atkins, and Carrie Underwood along the way. The group signed with Capitol Nashville in 2007 and released its first single, "Love Don't Live Here," which peaked at number three on the country charts. A self-titled debut album followed in April 2008, featuring production from Victoria Shaw and Paul Worley and stocked with more country hits (including the chart-topping single "I Run To You," which also enjoyed crossover success as a Top 40 pop hit).
Within a year and a half, Lady Antebellum's debut had gone platinum and earned a Grammy nomination, and the band enjoyed its newfound success while putting the finishing touches on a second album. Need You Now appeared in early 2010, and its leadoff single -- "Need You Now" -- became the group's highest-charting song to date, topping the country charts and peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. It eventually sold over three million copies. The album experienced similar success, going gold during its second week of release and reaching platinum status soon after. ~ James Christopher Monger & Andrew Leahey, All Music Guide
"A Nightmare on Elm Street
'A Nightmare On Elm Street' Haunts The Competition In The Saturday Box Office Report
Posted 1 hr ago by Josh Wigler in Box Office
1. "A Nightmare on Elm Street" ($15.8 million)
2. "How To Train Your Dragon" ($2.6 million)
3. "Date Night" ($2.5 million)
4. "The Back-Up Plan" ($2.4 million)
5. "The Losers" ($1.9 million)
One, two, Freddy's coming for you — well, really just one, as the big screen return of the clawed dream stalker catapulted the "Nightmare on Elm Street" remake to first place at the box office on Friday with a $15.8 million haul, more than $10 million ahead of all the other weekend competitors.
Starring Jackie Earle Haley in the nightmarish role originally played by Robert Englund, "Nightmare on Elm Street" earned an impressive $1.6 million from midnight showings on Thursday alone, according to Deadline Hollywood Daily. Those numbers earn "Nightmare" the record for best midnight opening for a horror movie, previously held by the "Friday the 13th" remake in 2009 with $1 million.
Judging by Friday's performance, Krueger's comeback could easily bring home over $30 million by the end of the weekend. Such a result would be quite impressive not only because of the film's reported $35 million production budget, but also because "Nightmare" has received a rather harsh lashing from critics with a current 15% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Coming in second place was "How To Train Your Dragon," DreamWorks Animation's latest family film with so much proven staying power that the company has already arranged for a sequel, television series, arena show and online virtual world.
"Date Night" and "The Back-Up Plan" came in third and fourth place with $2.5 million and $2.4 million respectively, while "The Losers" snagged the fifth place slot with $1.9 million.
Brendan Fraser's incoming "Furry Vengeance" won't get its revenge, landing softly in sixth place with only $1.7 million.

Nicolas Cage Buys Himself a Pyramid
Cage's unusual mausoleum visit.
Splashnews.com Nicolas Cage's latest property purchase isn't a new mansion or a shiny car -- it's a giant mausoleum in the shape of a pyramid.
Cage commissioned the 9-foot tall tomb to sit inside a New Orleans cemetery with the stipulation that it serve as his final resting place. The actor is known for being a devotee of the Louisiana city, and is the former owner of several homes inside its city limits.
Why the pharaoh-grave? It's probably no coincidence that a pyramid is the logo associated with Cage's popular film franchise "National Treasure." In the movies, Cage plays a noted cryptologist with a fascination with the mysteries of ancient civilizations.
The extravagant purchase comes during a time of financial stress for Cage. His Bel Air home foreclosed earlier this month after an unsuccessful courthouse auction failed to attract the minimum bid of $10.4 million. The foreclosure was the latest straw in a pattern of financial strain for the Cage family.
Cage was hit with a $5 million tax bill earlier this year, allegedly due to mismanagement by his financial adviser. He's been forced to sell off many of his homes, dumping a medieval German castle, a Rhode Island estate and a Bahamian island.
Cage's mausoleum.
Splashnews.com It's been reported that fellow A-lister Johnny Depp has offered support to Cage, pledging to give "whatever it takes" to dig his friend out of trouble.
Cage is partly responsible for jump-starting Depp's career, having been friends with the future Jack Sparrow since he was a young unknown. Cage introduced Johnny to his own agent, which swiftly garnered Depp a spot in "A Nightmare on Elm Street."

While a pyramid-shaped tomb is certainly not a run-of-the-mill purchase, Cage is no stranger to eccentric behavior. The actor recently dyed his hair a shocking platinum blonde in order to get in touch with his "Celtic roots." And let's not forget his young son, whom he named Kal-El -- the birth moniker of Superman.
When Cage is not buying and selling houses or checking in on his final resting place, he's hard at work. Currently he can be seen in an action-packed comic tale in which he memorializes his strange behavior on the big screen.
