LADY GaGa insists her cameo appearance in US TV show Gossip Girl was the perfect role.

The Bad Romance singer — whose episode aired in America earlier this week — says her love of fashion and New York meant she “fitted right in” on the set of the CW drama.

“I love that show,” said GaGa, real name Stefani Germanotta. “I am a true New Yorker and I love fashion too, so I fitted right in.”

GaGa, 23, recently revealed that she’s a dab hand in the kitchen.

“I love to cook,” she said. “I am really good at Italian food because I come from a very Italian family. So I make great meatballs, pasta… Mmmm.”

It was recent claimed that GaGa has her sights on becoming an actress.

“She sees acting as a natural progression in her career,” revealed a source close to the star. “One idea she has is for a rock opera which would be a huge big budget movie made to her own very unique ideas.

“But she is also keen on straight dramatic roles. She has the drive and confidence to make it big as an actress. It’s just a matter of finding time between her first love — music.”

“In the midst of my creative journey composing The Fame Monster, there came an exciting revelation that this was in fact my sophomore album. I would not add, nor take away any songs from this EP. It is a complete conceptual and musical body of work that can stand on its own two feet.”

“For those who do not have my debut album, there are a series of collectible double-disc editions that include both albums and artwork conceived by the Haus of Gaga in collaboration with our mentor, Hedi Slimane,” GaGa added. “Hear the music, see the show, live and love yourself …”

GaGa — whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta – recently revealed that she penned her song Speechless for her dad, to try to persuade him to have a vital heart operation.

“Speechless was my plea to my father to get this heart operation,” she said. “I sent it to my dad when I was on the road. I said ‘Please Dad’ and he still wouldn’t do it and one day he just started not feeling so good so I dropped everything and sat down with him.

“I told him it was not just his heart at stake, it was all our hearts. I told him if he died I would quit music and mum would not be able to function. And, thankfully, he did it.”

“It was pretty necessary… It was the biggest nightmare of my life,” she said. “My father is my whole world; I’m such a daddy’s girl.

“I said, ‘I haven’t bought anything yet with any of the money that I’ve made from my new album… so let me buy you a new heart, dad.’ And he said, ‘OK, fine.’

“I took care of my mom and my sister and I took care of me, and he’s gonna be out in a couple of days… Now I feel like I can get back to work.

“For a while I was feeling like I just wanted to give up. This really kinda put things in perspective…

“When this happened I really just kinda said, ‘I don’t wanna do anything for the next two weeks; I just wanna be with my dad and be a good daughter.’”
