But back then she was using her real name, Stefani Germanotta.

A 15-year-old Lady Gaga guest starred on an old episode of The Sopranos (entitled "The Telltale Moozadell") in a bit part as a smoking teenager who laughs at A.J. and his buds vandalizing a swimming pool after hours. Talk about hardcore!

Check out LG's scene below. Is she as fierce back then as she is now?

Marilyn Manson is taking his love of the HBO show Eastbound and Down, which stars Danny McBride as washed-up ball player Kenny Powers, to another level. McBride says he routinely gets "weird e-mails" from the goth-rocker.

"I get weird e-mails from Marilyn Manson now," Danny tells MTV. "He sends me weird e-mails in the middle of the night of what he's watching on TV, and you can hear him giggling in the background. One time he literally sent me a 'Peanuts' special I guess he was watching, sometimes it's 'Eastbound,' infomercials, anything."

And even though he's relentlessly stalking his hero and trying to make a case for a role on the show as Kenny Powers' sidekick, don't expect to be seeing Manson on the show anytime soon.

"You know, I equate it to this: Marilyn likes the show, and maybe it would ruin it for him, if he appeared on it," McBride said. "When I was a kid, I worked at Kings Dominion, an amusement park. I loved that place so I thought it would be cool to get a job there, and it's like the quickest way to ruin the all the magic. I hate that amusement park now."

Sorry to dash your hopes, Marilyn, but you'll just have to keep enjoying the show the same way the rest of us do!

Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin were spotted at LAX yesterday, and while the duo taped interviews for their new reality show in Studio City this morning, Lisa's Sherman Oaks clothing store Belle Grey was robbed for the second time in two weeks!

The surveillance tape has hit the web, and it shows a middle aged man pulling up in a white pickup truck and jimmying the back door open with a crow bar. Harry says the man took purses and jewelry, and added that his housekeeper saw the suspected burglar (along with an unidentified woman) lurking around the shop yesterday and asking what time it opened.

Last Tuesday, a burglar broke into the women's clothing store through the front door and stole over $20,000 worth of merchandise, and police believe the two burglaries may be connected.

Brad Pitt took a break from daddy duty and took his BMW bike for a spin around Budapest while Angelina Jolie concentrates on her first directorial effort.

Brad just joined his family in the Hungarian capitol, where the older kids are already settling into a routine of going to school, and now, rumor has it, he may join another project: JJ Abrams' super-secretive film, Super 8.

However, with Brad shooting Moneyball in the states and currently on vacay with his family in Budapest, it seems highly unlikely that he'd join the West Virginia shoot already in progress.

But if he does happen to head back to the States, we're sure all the photogs will be capturing his every move:

Rihanna returned home to California over the weekend, and the R&B starlet rocked a simple beige dress and flats, which certainly helped tone down her somewhat wild look. She gave us a peek at the back of her dress, and naturally, there's a little bit of neon peeking out...



What color will she dye her hair next? Silver? Black?

Virginia Makopo, a former dorm matron at Oprah's South African Leadership Academy for Girls, was found not guilty of fondling six girls back in 2007 at the school.

In the following statement, Lady O expressed her disappointment with the verdict:

"We began this child molestation trial in 2008. More than two years later, I am profoundly disappointed at the outcome of the trial. I will forever be proud of the nine girls who testified with the courage and conviction to be heard."

Oprah's Leadership Academy opened back in January 2007 with 152 girls ... all hand selected by Oprah out of more than 3000 applicants.

Rock solid is more like it!

Avril Lavigne graces the latest cover of Maxim, and the Canadian punk pop princess definitely looks like she's been hitting the gym. Or is a certain Hills hunk keeping her busy with uh, cardio and core workouts?

December 10 can't come soon enough!

Here's an alternate trailer for The Tourist, and not only are we excited to see Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp in this film, but it looks a thousand times better than Salt!
