'Celebrity VS' Round 3! (Vote here!)

Hey everybody so its neck and neck with the scores being Lady GaGa 1 - Marilyn Manson 1

Now I think you will all agree publicity is a very strange beast, some people say there is no such thing as bad publicity, I would argue against that, I mean look at Britney Spears in the past few years... something tells me that probably hasn't affected her sales for the better.

But which one of our stars is better at causing a media storm while avoiding the bad publicity?
Lets find out.

Publicity - Lady GaGa

Lady GaGa has always had in my opinion a strange relationship with publicity, her music has a tendency to be very successful by itself with Pokerface reaching the top in most music markets in the world, however her publicity as a character is more a love-hate relationship, wild rumors and urban legends are always floating around in the media, for example that particular piece that believed she herself was inter-gender.
She also has a very gun-ho way of portraying herself, with some down right outrageous costumes.
Most of these are hit or miss, a quick google search will show costumes that didn't quite make the cut, and a few which caused a bit of a stir (I am making reference to the meat dress, which was apparently a statement on the way homosexuals are treated in the military with the 'don't ask don't tell' policy.)
Well GaGa I think you'll find when poltics and sexuality is involved haters will always hate, and the publicity created from it wont always be a nice as the publicity from your art.

Would you like it well done, or Raw-raw-ra-ah-ah?

Publicity - Marilyn Manson
Wow... where do I start, its quite difficult to call any publicity bad when you call yourself the 'Anti-Christ Superstar' isn't it?
I mean lets use the name as a starting point, we have Marilyn Monroe the very famous actress, and Charles Manson, the infamous murderer... two big key words, both with ties to very different types of fame.
Over the years Manson has achieved many diffrent types of publicity, I would say the first big hit came with his cover of 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)' which took MTV by storm and has also been named the worlds scariest music video.
However this is merely the tip of the ice berg... multiple law suits, religious protests, and many urban legends from 'devil worship' to surgery. And then when you throw in the fact that he seems to have been quite endeared by the 'Goth' sub-culture it all builds up to a whirl pool of publicity and hype.
It would appear due to his intentional controversial character, Manson can do very little wrong in the eyes of the media, due to the fact he wasn't really trying to play the 'good guy' to begin with.

How can he be controversial? He's better with kids than Barney.

Well guys that a wrap for my part of the judging.
Sorry GaGa but I need to give this one to Marilyn Manson, granted he has many advantages such as...
He has been in the spotlight for longer and he can get away with a hell of a lot more.
Not to say that GaGa is bad at generating publicity, but her range of how she can, and how she has is limited in comparison to Mansons.
