Demos from Lady Gaga's early days will be up for bid in a new online auction, alongside handwritten lyrics, clothing and various ephemera from the likes of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Bob Dylan and Michael Jackson.

It's all part of an expansive collection going under the gavel as the Rock & Roll Pop Culture Auction, starting on Wednesday at GottaHaveRockAndRoll.com. And for Gaga completists, there's plenty to get excited about.

In total, six CDs of early recordings will be up for auction, including a pair of demo discs from her first days as Lady Gaga. One, from 2006 and complete with a handwritten track listing, features six songs ("Wonderful," "Retrosexual," "Rock Show," "Spin You Around," "Yay Ha" and "Oh Well") and was donated by her then-manager Bob Leone. The second disc, also from '06, is a single version of the song "Wonderful."

The four other albums in the auction feature music recorded by Gaga when she was still going by her real name, Stefani Germanotta, and include a CDR (labeled "Stefani Germanotta, 2001") with four songs, and three albums: Stefani, Red And Blue; Stefani Germanotta; and Words, which is credited to the "Stefani Germanotta Band." A performance DVD, shot at the Cutting Room in New York, is also up for bid.

Bidding on all six CDs will start at $1,000. Two autographed items — an 11-by-14 photograph and a copy of Gaga's The Fame album — are also up for auction, with opening bids starting at $100. That's a pretty good deal, especially considering that bidding on a life-size Arnold Schwarzenegger-autographed T-800 prop from "T2: Judgment Day" begins at $79,000. And Arnie has never even had a hit record.

Fact or Fiction: Anne Hathaway?s Current Boyfriend Also A Thief?

Oh dear! I hope for Anne Hathaway's sake this isn't true. According to the New York Post, Anne's boyfriend, Adam Shulman, allegedly stole part of a painted mural.H&H Builders president, Ken Hart, has accused Shulman of taking the artwork from him. The piece was painted by infamous New York City street artist Mr. Brainwash. Hart reportedly said,
if he brings me back the art, it's over ... But if he doesn't, I'm going to the police to report it stolen!"
It's interesting that Mr. Hart decided to go to the press before the police, don't you think? I wonder if the accusations are true, or if this is just a misunderstanding.Photos by FAMEContinue reading

Kesha's "Sleazy" leaks

Lord, you sure are girl. Actually, who couldn?t get behind this song? Stealing drinks, making fun of the bourgeoisie, getting laid to phat beats? The Nicki Minaj appropriation on this song is bald-faced; Kesha?s entire turn is all syncopated faux-weird, accents, birdsong dynamics. The whole nine. And spitting the lamest rhymes probs ever (the part of [...]

Lady Gaga's Sexual-Harassment PSA Surfaces

By now, we all know that Lady Gaga has never been afraid to speak her mind, but it turns out Stefani Germanotta isn't either.

That's just one of the things we learned in "Real People — Sexual Harassment: What You Can Do," an educational video produced by the San Francisco-based Cerebellum Corporation that features a young Germanotta — still years away from becoming Gaga — as a student who is harassed ... and isn't about to take it.

Germanotta doesn't have any lines in the video, or at least not in the minute-long version posted on YouTube. But she definitely makes an impact in her brief scene (at the 0:40 mark), in which she walks out of a classroom — resplendent in a long-sleeved white shirt, blue skirt and, uh, clogs — and is grabbed by a male student (we know he's bad because he's got frosted tips) while his buddies cheer him on. But rather than cower away, Germanotta goes off on the dude, telling him his advances are unwelcome while her friend looks on. Oh, and you can tell the creep feels bad about it, since he lowers his head in shame.

It's a pretty compelling scene, right up there with Gaga's 2001 appearance on "The Sopranos" and that time she was on MTV's "Boiling Points." It's not exactly clear when the sexual harassment spot was filmed (though it appears to have been shot around the same time Gaga showed up on "The Sopranos"), but the YouTube clip was uploaded by the Cerebellum Corporation on February 18, 2010, and went largely unnoticed until eagle-eyed Gaga obsessives spotted their Mother Monster in the vid.

MTV News' phone calls to Cerebellum, seeking comment on the video, were not responded to by press time.

She looked gorgeous as always.
