Lady Gaga and Art Smith

The Washingtonian has a piece today hinting that Art & Soul's Art Smith has offered to let Lady Gaga take over his ever-popular restaurant for a night to introduce Washington mainstays to her Born This Way Foundation.  The foundation, started by Lady Gaga and her mother to combat bullying, will launch in early 2012.  It's imagined that the event will happen around the same time as the launch.

Art Smith and Lady Gaga already have plans to appear in "A Very Gaga Thanksgiving," a special that will air on ABC Thursday at 9:30p.  The pair will be making fried turkey and waffles infused with pecorino, crispy pepperoni, and herbs.
