Last year, Lady Gaga introduced the world to her male alter ego, Jo Calderone, a Depression-era mechanic who oddly enough looked like Bob Dylan, and sort of like that actor Adam Goldberg too, right? Gaga did the drag king thing and taped down her tatas, donned a dark wig and did a whole photo shoot for Vogue Hommes Japan as Jo. After that, nothing much happened. I figured it was just a minor little kerfuffle from the Gaga Stunt Queen Machine. Well, Gaga has brought Jo back, this time for the artwork for her new single, ?You & I? (which sounds like a rip-off of Elton John).
She?s worn rubber in abundance, sported bizarre facial horns and attended an awards ceremony in a dress made out of raw meat. But clearly Lady Gaga is bored of being an outrageous woman and has decided to switch gender instead - again.
The controversial singer adopted the guise of her male alter-ago Jo Calderone for the cover of her new single, You and I. Smoking a cigarette and sporting sideburns and stubble, Gaga gave off a moody and scruffy look for the black and white shots.
The single, taken from her second studio album Born This Way, is due for release on August 23, but why she decided to dress as her male self is anyone?s guess.
Gaga, 25, Tweeted the single cover pictures yesterday along with the words: ?You will never find what you are looking for in love, if you don?t love yourself.?
She also told fans, in her 991st Tweet that the music video for the song would be her 1,000th Tweet.
This is not the first time that Jo Calderone has made an appearance - last June she posed as him for a series of photos in London by renowned photographer Nick Knight and arranged by regular Gaga stylist Nicola Formichetti. They then went on to appear in a men?s fashion editorial for the September issue of Vogue Hommes Japan.
It?s not been great week for Gaga - real name Stefani Germanotta - who is facing a lawsuit over claims of plagiarism. A vocalist called Rebecca Fancescatti is reoprtedly claiming her hit song Judas is a rip-off of her own 1999 tune Juda.

Gaga ripping off another artist??! NO, that?s just impossible. Gaga is the most original person in the world. She would never copy from Madonna or Christina Aguilera or Bob Dylan or Elton John or some random person. Gaga is the creator of everything!
I?ll say it again, though - Gaga in male drag isn?t terrible. She looks very natural as a man. I?m still not sure this isn?t Adam Goldberg.
