Since her career took off two years ago there has been a cast of recurring characters in Gaga's Kingdom. Some have stayed close to her while others have been cast aside, but one thing is for sure: It’s hard to keep track of all her monster minions. Here’s a quick guide to who’s who in the wild world of Gaga.
Mom: Cynthia Germanotta
Cynthia Louise "Cindy" Germanotta (n̩e Bissett) was born and raised in a small town in West Virginia with along with her older brother Paul and younger sister Cheryl Ann. After she married Joseph Germanotta , she worked in telecommunications at Verizon. She is known to have a very close relationship with her daughter and often accompanies her on tour Рand just recently Gaga bought her mom and dad a Rolls Royce for their wedding anniversary.

Dad: Joseph Germanotta
Italian-American Joseph Germanotta was born in New Jersey and raised his family in a duplex in Manhattan, on the Upper West Side. He worked as an Internet entrepreneur, starting and ultimately owning a company that installs Wi-Fi in hotel chains. Gaga wrote the song "Speechless" as a way to convince him to undergo open-heart surgery for his malfunctioning aortic valve in 2009.
Sister: Natali Germanotta
Gaga's 18-year-old sister followed in her sister's footsteps by graduating from the Convent of the Sacred Heart on Manhattan's Upper East Side, and is currently a first-year student at Parsons the New School for Design. She had a quick cameo about two and a half minutes into the video for "Telephone."
Stylist: Nicola Formichetti
All of Gaga's famously outrageous looks are filtered through the lens of the star’s avant-garde stylist. They met on the set of a 2009 photo shoot for V Magazine, and although he has kept his distance from celebrity clients in the past, the two struck up an instant friendship and collaboration; they now work together on all of her shows, videos and photo shoots. He is the Fashion Director for Haus of Gaga, Men's Vogue in Japan and Uniqlo, and was most recently named Creative Director for the French fashion label Thierry Mugler.
Collaborator: Beyoncé
This fellow pop superstar has appeared in two sexually provocative videos with Gaga: "Telephone" and on her own "Videophone." Of Gaga, Beyoncé has said, "She and I had an effortless connection and I've always admired her work."
Admirer: Elton John
Gaga first sang with Elton John at the 2009 Grammy Awards and he has been one of her biggest supporters ever since. The living legend has called her "the most adventurous and talented star of our time" while also making her godmother to his newly adopted baby boy – and called "Born This Way" "the gayest song [he had] ever heard."
Old-School Collaborator: Lady Starlight
This New York DJ and performance artist was one of Lady Gaga's first friends and collaborators when she hit the downtown New York scene. They met at a bar on the Lower East Side and performed together at clubs and venues around the city as "Lady Gaga and the Starlight Revue."
Unlikely Collaborator: Clarence Clemons
The longtime saxophonist for the E Street Band and self-proclaimed "Gaga-ite" jumped at the chance to work with the artist when he was summoned to lay down a solofor the song "Hair." He said related to the song despite its heavy electronic sound. Clemons also plays on "The Edge of Glory."
