![Watching a small group scrimmage, Ben Lundt, St. Louis City SC goalkeeper and founder of Lundt Pro Soccer Training, shouts words of encouragement to players on Sunday, April 26 n the Lafayette grass soccer field. “The idea behind [the event] was to bring the professional soccer players closer to the community because usually people only get to see us on TV or in the stadium. [Families] actually having the opportunity to have their kids on the field with us is the most important aspect,” Ben Lundt said.](https://lancerfeed.press/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_6823-1200x800.jpg)

When people think of the notorious Lady Gaga, they usually think of her crazy wardrobe, songs and obsession with fame.
But Gaga isn’t bad crazy, not Britany Spears crazy. Yet she’s the type of crazy that goes down in history.
She will be placed next to Monroe, Warhol and Madonna for her outrageous, carefree personality. Gaga is a living icon that none of us will ever forget.
In the future when you hear about late 2000 early 2010, I guarantee you Lady Gaga will appear in your mind somewhere.
With stars like Lauren Conrad, Heidi Montag and Paris Hilton, Hollywood could really use a real star with raw talent. Not another someone who is simply famous for being famous.
But getting to the A-list charts was not easy or an overnight event for Gaga
Gaga was born and raised in New York City and with growing up in one of the fashion capitals of the world comes the knowledge of making a statement.
And with hundreds of new “stars” popping up everyday this knowledge is essential to make it in the industry.
Gaga knew she needed to make a statement and she did. But with those statements came rumors, lots of rumors.
Yet, when asked about the gossip being spread about her, Gaga simply said oh well.
“I am not embarrassed. I think it’s society’s reaction to a strong woman,” Gaga posted on her web page.
Another quality that Gaga uses to her advantage because rumors are said about so many celebrities and to Gaga she knows what is right and wrong and that’s all that matters to her.
From the beginning Gaga said she’s always known she wanted to be and would be an entertainer.
Once high school was out of the way Gaga attended Tisch School of the Arts at NYU, and started performing at local nightclubs all across New York City, and continued after graduation.
With this experience Gaga knew the basics of the entertainment industry, and how hard it would be to become nationally known.
Yet Gaga never gave up, and now she’s got the whole world going coo-coo for gaga.
So what am I trying to say?
Lady Gaga deserves this fame she is receiving. Yes she can be wacky, but that is all just part of her plan to turn us all into what she calls her “little monsters.”
Slowly but surely we will all be little Gaga monsters.
