Only the other guy scares me a bit.
Oh and how envious I am that she puts her fingers on his bare chest (though I love how many buttons he left unbuttoned...).
Morrissey and Gaga look hawt together. The other guy looks like the unholy spawn of Perez Hilton and Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran.
Keep rockin' the chest hair, Moz!

I love this! 
I like Lady Gaga. She can actually sing, unlike Madonna, and given a chance Lady Gaga will write better songs than Elton John.
I don't know anything about the semi-presious weapons guy. Moz looks very happy to be holding both of them.
P.S. Tony Visconti said Morrissey and Lady Gaga weren't friends. This picture looks pretty friendly to me.

well she tweeted a song which was on an album and not one of the most wellknown smiths songs to the mainstream public:
i personally find her kind of interesting and different (well a bit at least)to the typical pop star (saw also a statement of her where she talked about gay rights) but the problem is that i am not into her music..it sounds very eutrotrash to me :simple lyrics simple music(chords) nothing experimental
the one song i actually liked was this(its from beyonce´s album)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3Uy7-vpcHQ
i dont have a soundcard so it dont know if the remix differ from the single i have heard/seen on tv
http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=17055
but this has more to do with beyonce who i like(my guilty pleasure, even though i like her destinys child stuff much more than her solo stuff
back with the girls where she wrote about the "good for nothing type of brother".
when she did go solo she was all that"im soooo in love" which doesnt appeal that much to me
so gaga: go experimental and do music which goes beyong the ooomph ooomph simple techno beat..

I find it odd that many of us tend to have strict preferences on how the man should and should not behave. He's hardly doing anything, yet somehow some of you still found reasons to whine.

I don't see her as an icon I see her as a massive marketing whore with false affectations and style.

I think it's because Morrissey isn't photographed with very many celebrities. It's easy to read into it that Morrissey is giving tacit approval to whatever celebrity with whom he agrees to be photographed.
The conflict comes when Morrissey appears to be approving a celebrity that either a Morrissey fan personally dislikes or appears to be in conflict with Morrissey's philosophy (ie, Gaga embraces the music industry while Morrissey detests it).
It's just that Morrissey needed to actually walk back to her dressing room and pose for the photographer, meaning there was some effort and intent on his part. It wasn't just an "oh they ran into each other at a party" shot. The question is, why? Morrissey rejected Tom Hanks out of hand (I read somewhere) but poses with Lady Gaga.
I fall into the "personally dislikes" category.

For those people saying she's talentless check out something like this:
It might not be everyone's cup'o'tea, but you can't deny she has a voice. I can't see Madona or Kylie pulling off something like this. She also writes all her own material, designs the sets and a lot of her clothes. Whether you like her or not, she's a lot more 'hands on' than most pop stars .. I think that alone should give her some more credibility than your average Idol winner. And really that's the problem most people have with pop, they dismiss pop singers going "oh they don't write their own songs, or they just have computers helping them sing" ... and that's why so many people live Morrissey. Now someone comes along that addresses a lot of those issues people had with pop and people are still dismissive.
Like I say, fair enough if it's just not your thing, but to deny the talent is silly. And then there's the people who add "she's ugly" to their argument of why Moz shouldn't hang out with her, god, grow up.

I don't know if Gaga really is an all out embracer of the music industry. Certainly she seems more involved in it than Morrissey is, and being the biggest pop star in the world at the moment means that would be unavoidable. But the girl is strange, she's defintely left of center and it's not just an act. I can see how Morrissey could be quite fascinated by her, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind the chance to have his ego rubbed a bit by her. (don't read too much into that line).
Honestly before I got more into Gaga and read about her and watched interviews I was really dismissive as well. But she is genuinely quite interesting I think. She's not a media whore the likes of a Paris Hilton, and she's not a complete drop kick like Amy Winehouse. You can tell she's a thinker and seemingly quite complex.
Other celebrity Moz fans have come out like Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit and Hilary Duff ... these are people I just could not see Morrissey meeting and being interested in. But I still wouldn't question their love for Morrissey.

Love Me Outside!
my first thought too.
This is nice
The Moz schmutter is aces. Love to know who the jacket is by...
Before people go too...ga-ga (sorry)... over 'how could Morrissey stoop so low by standing next to this talentless trollope'?' I think some part of this may have been a semi-professional type of commitment. Merck Mercuriadis manages the guy Moz is clutching, his daughter took the photo, so it may very well have been a favour for a friend. MM's in town, Moz is in town, let's hook up, etcetera. They're clearly still on good terms (hopefully good enough to start managing him again!).
If you couple that with the fact that even Morrissey must be aware that Lady Ga-Ga is a devout fan, you can kinda see why Morrissey would attend. Blind adoration all around I'd say. I've no idea if M. likes Ga-Ga's art, but I can see that he'd appreciate her artifice.
and then I read this.. im gonna agree with it and believe that he doesnt like her 'art'.
Why are you referring to Morrissey as a woman?

Oh, I don't question ANYONE's love for Morrissey. Loving Morrissey seems like the most natural thing in the world, so it's very easy for me to see how someone could love Morrissey.
It's the reciprocation of the love that gives me pause. Morrissey must have his reasons for having the pic taken. Maybe he was just being generous to a fan. God knows anyone of us would appreciate such a gesture in our direction.

Maybe. And maybe it's mutual admiration, like I said .. I can see how Morrissey could be fascinated by her. And if he is then I don't see what the big deal is. I don't consider her a guilty pleasure, but I'm sure some people do. And I'm sure everyone here has them, and I'm sure Morrissey has them too. I don't see why people find it so hard to accept the fact that Morrissey likes things that other people don't.
Hell I've had to, I can't stand the New York Dolls, and most of his taste in music really besides Sparks, Doll and the Kicks and a couple of others Buzzcocks etc.. But that doesn't mean I begrudge him for liking them.
