GaGa Glasses?

Lady Gaga is a creative director for Polaroid and has created her own pair of Heartbeats headphones. Now there’s a rumor that she is in talks to design her own line of sunglasses for British eyewear company Linda Farrow.

Fans of Gaga know that she isn’t new to the world of sunglasses. Most of her videos have included some Gaga take on them. And now, WWD.com reports that Gaga could be the latest person to collaborate with the company, which has been creating eyewear for 40 years and has worked with a number of designers, including Alexander Wang, Matthew Williamson, Dries Van Noten and singer Róisín Murphy.

A rep for Farrow hadn’t responded to MTV News’ call for comment at press time to confirm the report.

In Gaga’s latest video, for “Telephone,” she wears a pair of sunglasses made of burning cigarettes. She’s also debuted new and fresh eyewear looks in her videos for “Poker Face” and “Bad Romance.” “We design a pair of sunglasses in every video,” she’s said of the Haus of Gaga, explaining her inspiration for the looks, including the razor-blade sunglasses in “Bad Romance.” “I wanted to design a pair for some of the toughest chicks and some of my girlfriends — don’t do this at home!”

She may be designing sunglasses for the company, but she has said in the past that she isn’t interested in designing a clothing line with her Haus of Gaga. “They’re my best friends,” she said. “I’m not really sure what the world thinks … but I do hear things like, ‘Who is the Haus of Gaga?’ and ‘Are you putting out a fashion line?’ And no one gets it. It’s not a commodity. It’s not something that’s meant to be sold.”

GaGa's Airport Malfunction.

I'm usually a fan of Lady GaGa's eccentric and OTT sense of fashion, but when she showed up at LAX airport in a hideous pair of hairy, knee-length boots and a widow's veil slung around her face, my first reaction was to cringe. The star was even asked to remove the unflattering veil for security reasons, but she refused, so she was escorted to a private room where she had a full body search. I'm sure security thought her boots were a health hazard, and if not, I'm pretty sure they thought she was the grim reaper in her scary black ensemble.
