++ Lady Gaga and acclaimed photographer Terry Richardson announce that their collaboration — a coffee table book of intimate, behind-the-scenes Gaga portraits – will be available this November, according to HighSnobiety.com. Finally, some answers to the question that’s shaped our generation: Does Lady Gaga own pants?
++ Salon.com steps up in defense of raunchy teen novels. Judy Blume still sort of gives me the shudders, but Tracy Clark-Flory makes a convincing case for the role of sexual content in YA fiction.
++ Rainn Wilson talks to the Los Angeles Times about his 10 favorite sci-fi and fantasy books. Roger Zelazny and Clifford Simak both make the cut — while Dwight Schrute fans everywhere are wondering, where are those Battlestar Galactica novels?
++ A new Publishers Weekly feature that encapsulates each U.S. state’s literary tradition pretty much tells us what we already know: The Eastern seaboard produces a lot of best-selling authors, Alaskans would rather be ice fishing, and it’s still really freakin’ weird that F. Scott Fitzgerald was from Minnesota.
Really???? A book about Gaga….who really is interested in buying it?
I am, as well as millions of people in the world.
Well come on, Flop This Way isn’t doing well on the charts. How else is this b*tch gonna get money?
I AM!!!!
I’M NOT!!!! as well as millions of other people in the world who don’t need desperate shock value to enjoy music.
Is it just me, or was there just a photo shoot identical to this (with this guy, smiling just like that) with Kesha!?!?
Yeah. Terry Richardson, a very big photographer, shot them both.
I’m excited about this book. I love his work and I certainly love her. If it’s not your cup of tea, don’t buy it.
Yeah because without your comment we would have totally bought the book
This will be a somewhat random comment for this post, but you should do a post about how John Green is autographing every single copy of the first edition print of his new book, The Fault in Our Stars, because he is super awesome
Im guessing I should not be suprised…afterall MADONNA did a coffee table Photo book in 1992…so it was only a matter of time.
Thank Godonna I wasn’t the only one who caught this. Now we wait for Gag-Me’s little dumpsters to comment~
Remember, EW’s commenting boards are no free choice of taste zones. If you dare to express your point or opinion, you will immediately be trampled by thought police. Thank you.

#1,001: Do a coffee table photo book.
Why wasn’t this bit of news all that newsworthy??? Hmm…Argentina…be prepared for Gaga’s arrival to play Eva Peron.
