Rihanna: "There’s a pack. It’s me, Gaga, Katy Perry, Beyonce"

In a recent Complex magazine interview, Beyonce stated that there was “room on this earth for many queens.” Rihanna has revealed who exactly runs the world,

“There’s a pack. It’s me, Gaga, Katy Perry, Beyoncé…who else? Ke$ha, for sure. Women are definitely dominating music right now, and that’s because we are competitive beings. I feel like music hasn’t been this exciting in a while.”

Did Rihanna leave anyone out of the ‘Pop Pack’?

Lady Gaga Releasing Photo Book

Michael Jordan tried baseball (failure). Jack Nicholson tried becoming the world’s biggest Lakers fan (success). Tiger Woods tried being Casanova (failure), and now Lady Gaga, the world’s most talked about pop star, has set her sights on releasing a book (jury’s still out). Back in 2010, the singer gave photographer Terry Richardson complete and unrestricted access. He followed her on tour, in the dressing room, in the studio and at home. One hundred thousand photographs later, he’s ready to compile the best of the best into a three hundred and fifty page coffee table book. Lady Gaga will write the foreword, and according to CBS, the generically-titled Lady Gaga will be available for purchase in November.

You may remember Madonna released her own coffee table book back in the early 1990s, but I would be surprised if this collection caused anywhere near the stir the Material Girl’s did. What do you think? Would you consider keeping Gaga on your coffee table? Vote in the poll below and let us know what you think…
