DID LADY GAGA SECRETLY TIE THE KNOT?

Update, 10/14: According to an insider source via The Daily Mail, Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney reportedly held a commitment ceremony. After dating for three years, the couple took their relationship to the next level at an intimate ceremony held at Joan Tratorria, the New York restaurant owned by Gaga's parents. Due to both of their hectic work schedules, the small ceremony was just for close family and friends—although it is rumored the two are planning a wedding for next year.

 Lately, it seems that for every celebrity wedding that gets ample fanfare (à la Kimye and Clooney), another high-profile couple manages to slip completely under the radar and tie the knot without our knowledge. Last week, we learned that Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy maybe got secret-married thanks to a public display of feeding each other on a park bench. And today, rumors are beginning to fly that Lady Gaga and very normal boyfriend Taylor Kinney may have done the very same. And who let the news (maybe) slip? That would be none other than Kinney'sChicago Fire co-star, Sophia Bush. See that ring on that finger? This is Hollywood, after all, and for all we know, it could be part of Kinney's costume. But, NO! Bush captioned the photo with this: I'm REALLY excited to be on @nbcchicagofire tonight! Just about as excited as I was to see my buddy #TaylorKinney at our press day yesterday. Bear hugs are the best hugs. 

#ChicagoFire #ChicagoPD #ThatsHisPersonalRing #NotForTheShow #EveryoneCalmDown #LindsayAndSeverideArentMarried Hashtag-speak, translated: Bush's character, Detective Lindsay, and Kinney's character, Detective Severide, have a bit of a romantic storyline going on Chicago Fire. But Bush is saying here that the ring is Kinney's personal ring, and has nothing to do with the show. Hmmmm.

What's more: Lady Gaga was spotted shopping for dramatic white gowns this summer, spawning all sorts of engagement rumors. We kind of shrugged it off, because this is Gaga, the woman who wears meat and cheekbone prosthetics, so her shopping habits are really anyone's guess. But now, we're not so sure.

The only reason why we're kind of hoping it isn't true is that we would like to see what an over-the-top Gaga wedding looks like. We were picturing Tony Bennett and Elton John serving as co-officiants, her pup Asia bearing the ring, and the bride donning some couture creation that probably doesn't even remotely resemble a wedding dress (or any kind of dress, for that matter). Is that all for naught?

We'll keep our eyes peeled for evidence on Gaga's hands as well.
