Lady GaGa Photos Before She Was.. Gross?

The lovely folks over at CNN unearthed the first photoshoot of Lady GaGa taken from back in 2005, long before she turned into a cartoon character. The photos were taken by famed photographer Malgorzata Saniewska who actually made GaGa look pretty hot. Like, girl-next-door hot. Hard to believe she was, at one time, normal.

This is where we throw out the hypothetical: would she be a mega-superstar if she was “normal”? Or does most of her fame come from the swinging meat she wears — no, not the one between her legs. What say you?
