Lady GaGa: 'I Base My Image On David Bowie'

Lady GaGa says she takes influence from David Bowie when creating her many zany images.

The pop star appeared on MTV's 'It's On With Alexa Chung' in New York yesterday where she paid homage to the original rock chameleon Bowie.

She told Alex Turner's other half: "I used to sit in my apartment for hours and do (Bowie's) makeup on myself over and over again.”

GaGa also admitted to being an obsessive collector of David Bowie memorabilia on the show.
