I don’t know how much coverage I should do of last night’s Much Music Video Awards in Canada. I’m kind of meh on most music awards shows, and it doesn’t seem like the event was for anybody but tweens. Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were there (Selena hosted, I believe). Colin Farrell was there. And Lady Gaga… with some new costumes. That about it. Re: Gaga and her costumes… if what I think about this show simply being aimed at tweens (Canadian tweens, at that), Gaga’s outfits bordered on inappropriate, but mostly they just looked dated, and like she was trying too hard. I also don’t know what to say about her hair – and I think the long, blue hair is actually Gaga’s. I spy roots. Anyway, Gaga spoke to the Hollywood Reporter about her dream of launching a fashion line:

TORONTO – She may have book-ended the MuchMusic Video Awards with two stage performances, but Lady Gaga made her biggest exclamation Sunday night in Toronto when she told the media she hopes one day to be a fashion designer.

“I really, really have such admiration for fashion designers and I’m such good friends with them,” Gaga said while fielding questions backstage.

“I’d love to have a fashion line when I stop making music for a while, for a year. But that’s not going to happen soon. I’m in love with song-writing right now,” she added.

Gaga, in a celebratory mood after winning two trophies Sunday night, including for most popular international artist in the fan category, offered advice to fellow artists about dealing with the paparazzi.

“I would say the press is your friend, and it’s all an art form. You choose what the public views and what the public sees of you. And I believe I’m in public all the time,” she said.

The New Yorker also said she’s not giving up her humble East Side apartment anytime soon, even as she spends more time in Los Angeles.

“I wrote so much music in that place, I got so inspired living there. Part of me is terrified that if I leave, the courage and feeling of survival in New York City will leave my spirit,” Gaga told reporters.

“Every day I say such a deep thank you to the higher powers for being able to make music and follow my drams. My apartment grounds me and it’s nice to get in the bathtub sometimes and know there’s some hot water,” she added.

At some point, Gaga really needs to stop with this whole Madonna-esque origin story where she describes the horrible existence she had before she was “discovered”. She graduated high school and worked as an amateur performer for a few years, she comes from a wealthy family who helped support her, and she was (and is) coked out her skull much of the time. Sure, I’m guessing she had some bad moments. But let’s not act like she was just toiling away for years and years and that time was so overwhelmingly awful.

Meh. Here are some of her many costume changes:
