“Fame: Lady Gaga” And “Female Force: Betty White” To Hit Newsstands.

“Fame: Lady Gaga” And “Female Force: Betty White” To Hit Newsstands.  Bluewater is publishing two separate comic books starring Lady Gaga and Betty White based on their career paths. “Fame: Lady Gaga” and “Female Force: Betty White” are scheduled to hit newsstands, comic bookstores and online venues on Wednesday, January 5. These special editions will also be available through several online venues including Amazon.com and the Barnes and Noble and Borders online stores. “Fame: Lady Gaga” follows the unknown Stefani Germanotta (Gaga’s real name) as she crafts a glam-rock persona and begins her climb up the pop music charts with monster hits like “Poker Face” and “Just Dance.” The issue will also showcase Gaga in some of her more unusual and extraordinary fashion choices as well as the replicas of costumes from her legendary performances.   Veteran actress and comedian Betty White represents a near polar opposite from Gaga. Portrayed in her own biography title, “Female Force: Betty White” readers and fans can follow her 60-year career, which even includes the unprecedented and successful grassroots Facebook campaign to get her to host “Saturday Night Live.” Bluewater first published the “Female Force” titles in 2008 as a broad examination of strong and influential women who actively shape modern history and culture. In past issues, the monthly series has featured Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Margaret Thatcher, JK Rowling and Sarah Palin.

Betty White has starred in dozens of television shows including “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “The Golden Girls” and most recently “Hot In Cleveland.” She has won seven Emmy awards.

“On its face, neither should have anything in common with the other, but once you read their stories, you see the common thread,” said Bluewater president Darren Davis said of Gaga and White, “They are strong, influential women who have endured personal and professional challenges and have taken the marketing of their brand to whole new levels.”

The “Fame” series was launched earlier in 2010 as a companion piece to the successful “Female Force” and “Political Power” biography titles. The comic allows Bluewater to delve into the celebrity culture and understand how a person rises to fame, deals with the newfound celebrity and continue to produce in the public eye. That includes actors, sports figures, recording artists and royals.

Part of the proceeds from “Female Force: Betty White” will be donated to White’s favorite charity, GLAZA (Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association). White was named chairman of the 65,000 member nonprofit dedicated to nurturing wildlife and the well being of animals in September.

In the upcoming months the company will soon release comic autobiographies of Glenn Beck, Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, Beyonce and The Black Eyed Peas.
