Lady Gaga has threatened legal action against Icecreamists, a shop in central London that had been selling an ice cream made from human breast milk called Baby Gaga. In a cease-and-desist notice issued to shop owner Matt O'Connor, Gaga described the product as "nausea-inducing."

She's a bit late in going after the ice cream makers though, as the product was pulled last week when inspectors from Westminster's food standards department seized the remaining breast milk ice cream to be tested for health code violations. Selling foodstuffs made with human bodily fluids is banned in London to combat the spread of disease.

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis.

The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
