Lady Gaga Goes Double-Barrel at Rolling Stone

Hey, what-in-the-heck?

Lady Gaga's utterly dominating the celebrity news cycle of late, and since I've been on top of it, now's not the time to slow it down!

Not only is Gaga going, er, double barrelled for the new cover of Rolling Stone, she's in the news for a drunken crash into the New York Yankees' clubhouse over the weekend. At NY Post, "Gaga Safe at Home: Boozy Clubhouse Crash Not Her Fault: Yank GM":

Yankee General Manager Brian Cashman is gaga for Gaga -- saying yesterday that the half-dressed singer did nothing wrong when she infiltrated the players' clubhouse after a game over the weekend, causing a stir among team brass.

Instead, Cashman put the blame on his own employees for allowing the outrageous "Poker Face" singer to make her uncomfortable, boozy visit to the clubhouse Friday night after the Yanks' Subway Series loss to the Mets.

"She didn't do anything wrong," Cashman said.

The GM said celebrities are allowed to mingle with players in a designated area adjacent to the locker room -- but only after Yankee victories. They are not usually allowed in the clubhouse, he said.

"She's not banned" from Yankee Stadium and the VIP area, Cashman said.

The player-celeb issue came to a head after Lady Gaga infuriated Yankee brass with her antics in the clubhouse Friday night.

A liquored-up, half-naked Gaga could barely string together coherent sentences as she fawned over several players near the locker room -- causing team co-chairman Hal Steinbrenner to become unglued and ban the singer permanently from the team's clubhouse, according to sources close to the boss.

Gaga's pals and rent-a-cops walked right past Yankee security on their way into the clubhouse.

Gaga was wearing an unbuttoned pinstripe jersey over her bra and bikini bottom -- and nothing else -- as she struck up conversations with some of the Bronx Bombers. She gushed about what a Yankee fan she is, all while groping her breasts during the cringe-inducing visit.

A rep for Gaga did not return a call for comment.

Cashman said the team would step up enforcement of its existing clubhouse rules, which limit VIP access to players to a mingling area adjacent to the locker room.

"There is a time and a place for that, and it's certainly not after a loss and not at the expense of the media doing their job," Cashman said
