Gaga, meet GooGoosha, whose eponymous first album in English went on sale on iTunes, Amazon.com, and elswhere across the United States, Europe, and Asia on June 5. Who is GooGoosha? Her website, lavishly adorned with all manner of glamour shots of the blonde bombshell, says she's a "poet, mezzo soprano, designer, and exotic beauty." Many citizens in her native, impoverished Uzbekistan would describe her as a robber baron and a thief with shadowy links to mafiosi. (UPDATE: The website appears now to have been taken offline.)

Several workmen were seen overlooking the renovations and are no doubt going to ensure that the property is perfect for the 35-year-old singer and her footballer boyfriend. Once it's finished, the happy couple will be able to enjoy some of the best views of the...
