Check out these photos of Jo Calderone, a new male model in a photoshoot for Vogue Hommes Japan, but everybody seems to think that it’s really Lady GaGa.
It is unknown whether or not it really is GaGa but all of her fansites seem to think it is because the photoshoot was styled by Haus of Gaga’s Formichetti and all of her fans say her alter ego is called Jo since her middle name is Joanne. SHOWstudio, who originally posted the photos, said that ….
“The challenge, of course, was to make him appear elegant: that was where Nicola [Formichetti]‘s hand and that rail groaning with designer duds came in. The look today has alternated between sleek, sophisticated suiting and, quite naturally, a few Greaser leathers to match Sam McKnight’s fifties pompadour quiff.”
What do you think? In my opinion it is 100% definitely Lady GaGa dressed up as a man because look at that nose.

Eric Green, former corner-back for the Arizona Cardinals, is being sued by a New York City transgendered woman, Angelina Mavilia, because she accuses him of sexually assaulting her.
Mavilia filed a $10 million sexual assault lawsuit against Green in federal court in Florida, where the NFL player was born and currently lives.
According to the court papers she claims they met early 2009 in a casino in Scottsdale, Arizona, when he was still playing for the Cardinals after that they went back his condo which is when he apparently assaulted her.
The papers say, “he got extremely agitated and threatening, and warned: ‘this never happened. You’d better not tell.’”
On top of suing Green, she has also filed papers against New York City for a separate incident in which she says she was dehumanized after getting arrested for trespassing in a housing complex back in 2008.
In the papers filed in a Manhattan Federal Court, she is claiming that a female police officer told her to take off her bra and panties twice before examining her genitals then screaming “It’s a girl!”
Then when she was at the booking center an officer ordered once again had her strip down to her undies and then put her in a cell with a man before declaring “You’re not fooling me; I know you were not born a woman, I can see your plastic surgery.”
Eric Green currently doesn’t play for any football teams and wouldn’t comment on the case. This is very messed up, I feel so bad for this Angelina Mavilia woman.

Tyra Banks surprises Isis King, the first transgender contestant on America’s Next Top Model, with sex reassignment surgery in an episode of her talk show to air Tuesday.
“This is not happening!” King, who was born Darrell Walls, says when Banks introduces her to Dr. Marci Bowers, a leading gender reassignment surgeon who has experienced the surgery herself. Bowers is paying for the surgery.
“[I feel] like I’m about to wake up,” says King – who lived in a homeless shelter in Maryland before trying out for the show.
The 22-year-old hadn’t gone under the knife yet because she couldn’t afford the $20,000 to $35,000 price tag.
“It’s hard. I try not to think about it because it is something I’m really passionate about,” she says. “I feel like I really was born in the wrong body, and it’s just the one thing that makes me feel uncomfortable.”
King wouldn’t allow photos of herself as a male shown on the 11th season of ANTM, but reveals them for the first time on The Tyra Banks Show.
Why was she hesitant about the pictures?
“I look at it like yes, I’m the first transgender contestant, but okay, lets move past it now,” King explains. “I’m just a woman trying to compete just like everyone else.”

One of the 14 girls who will compete on the new season of America’s Next Top Model – which returns to The CW on September 3 – is transgender.
“My cards were dealt differently,” Isis, a 22-year-old former receptionist, tells Us Weekly exclusively in its new issue, on newsstands now.
Hailing from Prince George’s County, Maryland, Isis identifies herself as “a woman born physically male.”
Will she be a role model?
“I like to help people, but I’m here to follow my dreams,” she tells Us.
The inclusion of Isis is being hailed by GLAAD president Neil Giuliano as “an unprecedented opportunity for a community that is underrepresented on television.
“We applaud Tyra Banks and The CW for making this historic visibility of transgender people possible,” Giuliano said.
