It's hard to find affordable real estate in New York City, but now you can reside in a genuine music landmark for a mere $1,850 a month. Okay, so it's not that affordable, but it's still a landmark: Lady Gaga's one-bedroom apartment at 176 Stanton Street, where the Fame Monster lived when she was performing on the NYC bar scene as Stefani Germanotta, has been listed by Citi-Habitats. As Spin points out, it's the same third floor walk-up abode that Gaga was denied entry from when she took Anderson Cooper on a tour of Manhattan days. NYU students looking to ditch the dorms and obsessed Little Monsters hoping to score residence here should take a tour of the apartment in the video below. Added bonus: Pets are allowed, and the pad is within walking distance of a bunch of The Amp's favorite bars.

Born This Way*In May, thanks to an Amazon MP3 Store deal that sold Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' for 99 cents, the album sold a million copies in the week it was released. Going platinum in one week is an almost-impossible feat in these days of leaks and illegal downloading, but Gaga managed to accomplish it solely because of Amazon's deal. The Amp likened the tactic to the days when Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire were using performance-enhancing drugs to blast home runs, and we suggested that an asterisk accompany Gaga's feat. Billboard and Nielsen SoundScan, the company that tabulates music sales, agreed with our reasoning, as they announced changes today that ensure no album could cheat their way to a platinum plaque again.

Kevin Mazur/WireImage.comThe legal faux pas keep on coming. Yesterday it was an unearthed guilt-packed radio interview with C.C. DeVille that could wind up costing Poison millions, and now some text messages have emerged which seem to cast more doubt on Mariah Yeater's claims that Justin Bieber is her baby's daddy. As The Amp noted yesterday, even though Yeater's legal team withdrew their paternity suit against Bieber, they were still seeking a DNA test from the singer. However, TMZ has uncovered some texts that Yeater allegedly sent out that practically prove that the Staples Center rendezvous is just a con to make money off Bieber.

Google MusicAfter months of beta testing, and a day after iTunes Match ignited, Google Music finally launched yesterday with both a free 20,000-song digital locker and a refurbished music service in their Android Market. Google finished third behind Amazon and Apple in the race to the cloud-based streaming technology, so at this point you know what you're getting: A digital storage locker that allows users to access their music collection with the push of an app button. However, since this is Google Music, their service was crafted especially with Android devices in mind. Google Music also has some Spotify qualities that iTunes lacks, like its ability to tap into and share music over Google+. While Google Music has all the tools to become a worthy adversary of Apple's iTunes, the service isn't without some glaring flaws.
