Lady Gaga has struck up a strong friendship with mysterious Marxist Slavoj Zizek, dubbed "the world's hippest philosopher."

In related news, Vanity Fair reports that Ke$ha and Fredric Jameson are getting friendly. The real Jameson, not Fake Fredric. Unless the whole story's fake, which seems like a strong possibility.

As for the Ke$ha piece, it was doubtless a spoof of a spoof ...
