Lady Gaga at MoMA, by Joe Holmes
According to the Twitter rumor mill, Lady Gaga entered MoMA a little bit after noon today and may be waiting her turn to sit down in front of legendary performance artist Marina Abramović. She's allegedly with her artist pal Terence Koh, but while some are reporting they have seen the duo circling around Abramović, others haven't spotted her in the area at all. Maybe she's just grabbing the junk of Marina's naked minions until her turn comes up? Stay tuned! (You can watch the live feed here... hopefully she won't get stage fright.)
UPDATE: MoMA just Twittered that Gaga has left the building.
UPDATE II: Now with photo! It's probably hard to be intimidated sitting across from Abramović while wearing gold-spiked sunglasses... so why didn't Gaga take her turn?
