Did you know that a man paid $1 million to be in a Lady Gaga video?

A Russian billionaire, an extremely wealthy person based in Moscow is a huge fan of Lady Gaga that goes by the nickname "Arkady" paid ONE MILLION DOLLARS just to appear in Lady Gaga's music video "Alejandro".

This 30 year old Lady Gaga fan was so obsessed with the star that he offered to pay her so that his love for her would be immortalized in one of her videos. "Alejandro" is a 9-minute mini movie. Musically, it is composed as a mid-tempo synthpop song with an uplifting melody. Contemporary critics predominantly gave positive reviews for it and noted its heavy influence from pop groups like ABBA, Ace of Base and Madonna.

Upon release, "Alejandro" charted again in the United Kingdom as well as in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Sweden, and the United States while topping the Finnish, Polish, Russian, Bulgarian, and Romanian charts. "Alejandro" became Gaga's seventh successive single to reach the top-ten of the US Billboard Hot 100.

"Arkady" can be seen wearing SS like attire and black leather in a quick shot. When asked for comment, he responded, "Yes it was me in the clip, but I can't give further details." Obviously, the Lady has sworn him to secrecy, and we can't even begin to imagine what inventive punishment he faces if he breaks the vow.

Did you know that Lady Gaga taught herself how to play piano by ear?

Lady Gaga showed a strong passion in music since she was little. At age four, she had taught herself to play piano by ear. At the age of 11, she was accepted to the Juilliard School in Manhattan, but instead attended a private Catholic school in the city. By 13 she had written her first song, by 14 she had begun performing at open mic nights.

Lady GaGa, who was born Joanne Stefani Germanotta on March 28, 1986 in New York City,  used to sing along her mini plastic tape recorder to Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper's hits. There was also a point in her childhood where she turned to sounds performed by The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. 

A few years later, Gaga was granted early admission to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts—she was one of only 20 students in the world to receive the honor of early acceptance. While there, she studied music and worked on her songwriting skills. She later withdrew from school to find creative inspiration. To make ends meet, she took three jobs, including a stint as a gogo dancer, while she honed her performance-art act.

Lady Gaga's debut single, "Just Dance," was released to radio in early 2008, and received both popular and commercial acclaim. The song was then nominated for a Grammy Award (for best dance recording) in 2008. The song lost to Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger," but this didn't keep Gaga from reaching No. 1 on the mainstream pop charts in January 2009. The second single off of The Fame, "Poker Face," earned Gaga even more success.
