Lady Gaga Sued For Plagiarism.

A French artist is suing Lady Gaga for plagiarism.

Orlan, who's been active in the French art scene for decades, claims Gaga basically aped her style, and has a list of reasons why this is the case.

Notably, Gaga, like Orlan, takes a stage name, and employs visual and conceptual references to Catholic imagery, the human body, and celebrity.

That sounds broad, and without a doubt it is.

Yet there's an entire Tumblr dedicated to the similarities between the two, Gagaorlan, and in a 1993 Art in America feature, Orlan is described as such:

"Orlan has trafficked in notions of an ambiguous and constantly shifting identity."

"Her actions call into question whether our self-representations conform to an inner reality or whether they are actually carefully contrived falsehoods fabricated for marketing purposes, in the media or in society at large."

"Orlan leaves her background deliberately fuzzy, the better to maintain the anonymity required to project an enigmatic 'star quality.'"

Does sort of ring a bell, doesn't it?
