Celebrities are the craziest mofos when it comes to making purchases. But when you can buy anything in the world, what do you buy? Really, what do you buy?
Lady Gaga just upped her level of bizarro! Earlier today, it was reported that the Born This Way singer is looking to buy the possessions of French singer Edith Piaf: Clothes, shoes, perfume bottles, letters, songs and even toenails. Yes, TOENAILS!

Why the stan-like infatuation with Ms. Piaf? Well, according to Gaga, she “sees a lot of herself in Edith.”
And Gaga being the “Queen of Eccentricity” that she is, has made other peculiar buys that make this one seem normal, at least for her. In the past, it’s been reported that the pop star dropped a lump some on electromagnetic field equipment and other ghost-detecting gear because of phasmophobia.
Talk about crazy, right?!
