She's adorned her shades with lit cigarettes and covered her peepers with jewel-encrusted spheres, but Lady Gaga's latest pair of sunglasses has taken eyewear to stylish and tech-savvy new heights.

The influential songstress revealed her yearlong "Grey Label" collaboration with Polaroid to a packed room and thousands of fans who tuned into the event via Ustream at the Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, in Las Vegas on Thursday (January 6), and among the spankin' new products is a pair of shades with cameras embedded in the lenses.

Gaga, who took the stage nearly an hour after the publicized start time in a black corseted gown and wispy veil, showed off the innovative specs perched on a bronzed mannequin. Once turned on, tiny twin screens appeared in each lens, and Gaga explained that the futuristic accessories can snap photos and capture video, and are equipped with Bluetooth capabilities and a USB connector.

Mother Monster also showed off a sleek, portable photo printer about the size of a clock radio that allows users to instantly print physical copies of smartphone pics using Bluetooth technology — although the device isn't iPhone compatible. Gaga said the invention was inspired by seeing the legions of concertgoers thrusting camera phones in the air at her shows. She then demonstrated the nifty printer by snapping a picture of the assembled crowd of Gaga-ites and gadget heads — playfully barking, "Smile! You're so f---ing famous! — and brandishing a glossy image minutes later from the mini-machine. According to a Polaroid executive, the product should be available in May.

Gaga also introduced a suitably stylish and social media-friendly revamp of the classic Polaroid instant camera that she said would eventually allow photogs to directly share images on Facebook and Twitter. The product is slated to hit shelves around Christmas.

The Gaga-approved gadgets cap off a year of tinkering at Polaroid, which began when the "Bad Romance" belter was announced as a creative director in January 2010.

"I love the products, I'm so proud to be here," Gaga gushed about developing the gadgets with Polaroid. "They honored me as a woman, as a creative director and they really let me [put my] hands in there and design this sh-- myself."

Lady Gaga To Preview New Song At Paris Fashion Show

Lady Gaga has found the perfect forum to unleash some of her new music. The singer, who has made outrageous fashion a huge part of her identity, tweeted on Monday that she plans to preview some material from her upcoming Born This Way album on Wednesday at a Paris fashion show by Thierry Mugler.

"I'm the musical director for the MUGLER fashion show," she told her little monsters. "I'm remixing/previewing a record on Born This Way, tailored for the show + garments." She did not specify which song she would be previewing.

The news is the latest tease of information about the eagerly awaited album, which is due out on May 23. According to Women's Wear Daily, Gaga got the gig because Mugler's new creative director is Nicola Formichetti, the designer who came up with Gaga's infamous "meat dress" for the MTV VMAs last year.

Formichetti told WWD that Gaga will serve as musical director for one of the most anticipated debuts of Men's Fashion Week, which runs through Sunday. This isn't the first time she's used a Paris runway to launch new music: Gaga premiered "Bad Romance" at Alexander McQueen's show in 2009.

Gaga also tweeted photos of her two 2010 Grammys, which she said were just delivered to her house by her dad. The awards, for Best Electronic/Dance Album (The Fame) and Best Dance Recording ("Poker Face"), immediately took up residence in an important space in the singer's home. "Look what just arrived from last year!" she wrote. "My dad put them on the piano I studied on for 14yrs."

The 24-year-old singer is up for six Grammys at next month's awards show, which will air on February 13, the same day she is set to release the first single from her new album. She is also performing on the program, along with Eminem, Cee Lo Green, Katy Perry, Arcade Fire and Miranda Lambert.

Paris Hilton busts out of skintight leathers as she launches her own motorcycling team?

[Images: Mr Paparazzi/Big Pictures Words: Laura Perks]

Yes, you did read that right ? Paris Hilton is launching her very own motorcycling racing team, as unbelievable as that sounds.

Apparently this venture will see the heiress scout for drivers, in partnership with a Barcelona-based team, who?ll then compete in the 2011 125cc MotoGP World Championship season.

Essentially this new contract seems to require that Paris will turn up to a whole load of motorcycling events dressed a bit like this, i.e. in pink skin tight leathers (which she wore to the launch of this venture in Madrid yesterday), while pouting at the cameras. So expect to see a lot more of Paris? boobs bulging out of some more leathers sometime very soon?

Nicki Minaj Bats Away Rumors She's Living With Rihanna

'We're not getting cozy. I mean, we're not getting cozy yet,' MC quips on Ryan Seacrest's radio show.

Nicki Minaj and Rihanna won't be throwing any slumber parties soon.

Despite rumors that the Caribbean beauties have been bunking together, Minaj recently called into Ryan Seacrest's radio show and cleared up whispers that she's Rihanna's roomie. The Young Money Barbie also copped to mischievously playing up the rumors on Twitter while they filmed a visual for their Pink Friday collabo.

"I don't know where people got this really insane, hilarious, random rumor that she and I were living together. We just shot the video for a song I have on the album I have called 'Fly,' and when I saw her, the first thing I said was, 'So, did you hear we're living together?' and we just started cracking up laughing. She was like, 'Yo, I can't believe that people are, like, this ridiculous. So we Twit-Pic'd ourselves, and she put it on Twitter and said 'Me and Nicki at our new pad' or something," she recalled.

However, her followers didn't immediately pick up on the platinum-selling divas' humor.

"The funny thing is, people didn't realize we were joking. People still were hitting me like, 'Oh my God, you're so lucky. You and Rihanna living together?' " she said. Minaj took the miscommunication in stride. "It was like, 'What?' It's like, you can't even be sarcastic anymore. It was hilarious, though."

The "Right Thru Me" MC didn't rule out living with Rihanna in the future, quipping that she and her "Fly" collaborator could one day be roommates: "No, we're not getting cozy. I mean, we're not getting cozy yet. I mean, there is a possibility 'cause she's just like a bad bitch. So you just never know!"

The "Check It Out" star did admit that if she and Rihanna did decide to take their friendship to another level, it would be a hookup of epic pop-culture proportions.

"That would be like a freakin' crazy power couple right now in the world of females," Minaj said.
