Lady Gaga to Bert Edwards

http://www.irishcentral.com/

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986), better known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American recording artist.


Some individuals who are related to a celebrity take a different last name so that they are not perceived to have received undue advantage from their family connection. Examples of these include Nicolas Cage (real name Nicolas Coppola, nephew of Francis Ford Coppola).

Cage has been nominated twice for an Academy Award, winning once for his performance as a suicidal alcoholic in Leaving Las Vegas.

Made of gold-plated britannium on a black metal base, [the Oscar statuette] is 13.5 in (34 cm) tall, weighs 8.5 lb (3.85 kg) and depicts a knight rendered in Art Deco style holding a crusader's sword standing on a reel of film with five spokes.

Art Deco affected all areas of design throughout the 1920s and 1930s, including architecture and industrial design, as well as the visual arts such as painting, the graphic arts and film.

Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium[1] to a surface (support base).

In mathematics, specifically in topology, a surface is a two-dimensional topological manifold.
A topological space X is called locally Euclidean if there is a non-negative integer n such that every point in X has a neighborhood which is homeomorphic to an open subset of Euclidean space Rn.

Intuitively speaking (see below for a more intuitive discussion), a set U is open if any point x in U can be moved in any "direction" and still be in the set U.

The notion of an open set provides a fundamental way to speak of nearness of points in a topological space, without explicitly having a concept of distance defined.

Distance was a late-1980s rock/funk band led by bassist/producer Bernard Edwards, patterned after the Power Station.

Edwards played a Music Man StingRay
(bequeathed to Duran Duran's John Taylor after his death), a Fender Precision Bass, and a B.C. Rich "Eagle" bass during the prime of Chic. Later he would also use a Spector NS. He also was known to play a G & L L-1000 and a Sadowsky standard.
