　　Do you know

　　who Stefani Germanotta is? Perhaps not, but you'll almost certainly know the the star called Lady Gaga, who has been gaining wild popularity. The 24­year­old American, famous for her cutting edge pop videos and strange fashion sense, was the biggest winner at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Madrid on November 7, 2010. Her awards included the best female artist and the best song.

　　Her popularity doesn't end there. The BBC reports that the University of South Carolina has a sociology course about the life, work and rise to fame of Lady Gaga. The course is due to start in spring 2011. “We're going to look at Lady Gaga as a social event，” said Professor Mathieu, who will teach Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame.

　　Germanotta, in fact, is a college dropout. She learned to play the piano by age 4. At age 17, she was one of the only 20 young people to get early admission to New York university's Tisch School of the Arts, the famous music school. Yet after her second semester, she took a big risk—she decided to quit and concentrate on a music career. But how did she manage to go from nowhere to a super star in just two years?
