Lady Gaga used to have a mullet

When MTV News spent a few minutes with the ladies in the afternoon, the two told us how they chose the shades for their individual lipsticks. It was a spiel they had no doubt repeated over and over again all day long to many different press outlets. And that's when Gaga let is slip: It turns out the pop provocateur used to have a mullet.

"It was made out of my favorite M.A.C. color when I was living downtown in New York on the Lower East Side," said Gaga of her lipstick shade, "and I had this very dark, sort of mullet haircut, and umm…"

At this point, Cyndi interjects, just a little bit surprised. "You had a mullet?" she asks.

"Yeah," says Gaga, "and all the girls started to have their hair like mine in my neighborhood, so I used to wear this lipstick to kind of stand out."

So now you know: If you want to be like Gaga, pick up her hot pink Viva Glam lipstick, and then head off to your hairdressers with a picture of Adam Sandler.
