Currently riding the top of the charts across the world with hits like “Poker Face” and “Just Dance”, US pop singer Lady Gaga (aka Joanne Germanotta) has reportedly headed into the studio with Mark Ronson – the producer who helmed LPs by Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse.

Having recently completed a tour across the UK and Europe with the Pussycat Dolls, the 22-year-old blonde met up with the Versions producer to “work on a couple of tracks, which have a vintage feel,” says a source. Ronson famously lent Amy Winehouse his vintage-loving ears for her award-winning Black To Back.

Meanwhile, the young singer has been forced to defend her wardrobe choices, insisting she’s trying to make men think harder about “what’s sexy on a woman”. With her trademark dark glasses and long blonde hair, Lady Gaga says it’s all about “using what she’s given”.

“I’m not going to make a guy drool the way a Britney video does,” Gaga points out. “So I take it to extremes. I don’t say I dress sexily on stage – what I do is so extreme. It’s meant to make guys think: “I don’t know if this is sexy or just weird.’“
