In 2011, rumors were swirling that the pop diva was planning to buy on Chappaquiddick. A Vineyard Confidential classic.
The original version of this post was published on MV Patch May 2, 2011 as "Lady Gaga's New Funhouse." Read Holly's new serial novel, "Lady Slipper Farm and the Summer People," on Patch.

Lights go out on the rumors of the Fame Monster's new digs
It turns out that all those rumors about Lady Gaga building a house on Chappaquiddick were exactly that. Just rumors. For nearly a year there have those who swear that the new mansion that has begun to spread across the property of 21 North Neck Road on Chappy was, in fact, to be Stefani “Gaga” Germanotta’s new home. There have even been purported Gaga sightings in Oak Bluffs and Menemsha, but now the final word is in and Lady Gaga is not, at least not now, going to be anyone’s neighbor. According to Forbes Magazine, “After attaining the property’s address, a review of Edgartown property records revealed that a Mr. Nicholas Burgin, not Stefani Germanotta, is the legal owner of the property, having purchased it for $4.08 million from Martin…
