14 DAY TRIAL // Count on Gaga to always bring that extra factor to any awards ceremony. Last night’s Grammy Awards 2011 were not exception, with the pop star making a grand entrance inside a huge plastic egg that she didn’t leave for photos.
Stars usually stop for pictures and interview on the red carpet before any big event. After all, it’s not for nothing that they call it the “red carpet ceremony.”
Nevertheless, Gaga was unavailable for Q&As at the Grammys because her time to hatch had not yet come, her people explain to People magazine.
Latex-clad men and women carried what looked like a giant plastic egg Mother Alien herself would be jealous of on a sedan-style chair.
Inside it lounged Lady Gaga, who made sure she waved to the press and the fans, but who wouldn’t leave her alternate means of transportation because she was “incubating.”
Even so, rumblings online say that she did intend to get out of the egg for pictures, but at the last moment learned she couldn’t because the hatch that should have allowed her to get out was stuck.
Still, given that Gaga’s people told the media that she would only “hatch” on stage as the perfect parable to the message of her song “Born This Way,” it makes more sense to assume that she never planned on getting out.
Useless to say, this put some media representatives on the spot, notes the aforementioned celebrity mag.
“This is going to make for an interesting interview. How are we going to crack that shell and make a conversation with Lady Gaga?” Ryan Seacrest laughed as he conducted interviews with celebrities in attendance.
“She is incubating. She won’t be born until her performance this evening,” choreographer Laurieann Gibson explained for Seacrest.
“The pop queen waved from inside the ‘womb,’ which was designed by Hussein Chalayan, saving her energy for what Gibson said would be a performance that would ‘shift the world’,” People says.
The performance didn’t actually “shift the world,” but it was very impressive – as all Gaga performances are.
