It is commonly known that the 40-year old Grandmaster Ben Finegold is Lady Gaga’s biggest fan on this planet. In a recent interview, he stated that her music and charm inspired him to earn his final GM norm at the 2009 SPICE Cup at
“I listened to her music before every round. This gave me so much energy and inspiration to go for the win in every game. I could not have done it without Lady Gaga. I owe everything to her. And to show my appreciation, I recorded a special song which I personally wrote for her.”, Ben said.
Lady Gaga was so moved when she heard the song that she immediately offered Ben the opportunity to sing a duet with her in an upcoming album to be released in January 2011. What is not known at the moment is if they will record the song Ben wrote or something else.
“His voice is somewhere between Josh Groban and Michael Buble. And he has the dance moves that would make Fred Astaire jealous. Our choreographer is considering the idea of putting him in one of her music videos.” said Tito, a spokesperson for Lady Gaga.
Stay tuned for the exclusive scoop and interview with Ben Finegold, the most famous 40-year old Grandmaster in the world. This is very exciting news.

“This is hysterical…I can understand why Lady Gaga finds Ben so intriguing, but really want to know what it is about Lady Gaga that is so attractive to Ben?”
It’s her lipstick color.
It is reported that she changes her lipstick color every day.
Ben loves rainbows.
“why lie Tito?”
Duck don’t lie!
Well, if you like pop music, she’s definitely got it down.
(Just so you know, I am no April Fool :))
April Fool !
Oh Come now…..APRIL FOOLS IS TOMORROW! You’re early! heheh…I really can’t believe these people fell for it.
just 3 words: omg
This is incredible news. Can I volunteer to drive Ben and Lady Gaga?
Happy 4/1/2010. 🙂
Duck is a big liar
It’s April 1st.
There has been a new study in April’s Psychology Today magazine that chess players, although often having incredible signs of intelligence, sometimes lack awareness in social situations, and specifically are susceptible to pranks, hoaxes and April Fool’s jokes. Check it out in the article titled “Chess players believe ‘gullible’ is not in the dictionary”.
April fools!!
Great April’s fool joke, lol
Good one.. one of the good april fools ive encountered today 🙂
Ben, you deserve better.
Ben is da bomb.
Lady GaGa is noted for the song “Poker Face”. Poker has been luring away some of our best players, including this one. Why, even on this day, would Ben be fraternizing with the competition? 🙂
This day (april 1th) I can never decide what is true and false. So I am not sure that this is realible news.
Yep, it’s April 1st. Nice one, though.
You all do know which date is today, right?
Umm, April Fools?
Happy April Fools Day, everyone!
So Lady G is now ridin’ the big boy!
Dump her Ben. She’s not the right one for you.
Okay – you never got NY Times this year as we all did a few years ago. And as for Howard Sterns – I remember 5 years ago he had great respect for SP – it only remains to arrange a blitz between them. Surely Susan could take 2 mins to his 5? Hello? Phil
LOL. This is precious. 😀
