No one messes with the Divine Miss M -- Not even Lady GaGa

As a performer (especially one like Lady Gaga, who's into shock and awe), you'd have to be living under a rock to not know Bette Midler created the "mermaid in the wheelchair" bit. So, let's assume that when Lady GaGa pulled out her version during a recent performance, she was staging an homage to Queen Bette. Otherwise, if it was a rip-off -- she's got bigger balls than I thought.

Bette Midler was less than impressed when Lady Gaga rolled onto stage in a wheelchair and dressed as a mermaid in a show last week in Australia. "I've been doing singing mermaid in a wheelchair since 1980--You can keep the meat dress and the firecracker t--s," Midler tells Gaga in one of several Tweets. "Mermaid's mine." [people]

You be the judge:
