If there is one thing Perez Hilton loves more than bashing Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton, it's loving Lady Gaga. For Perez Hilton's Halloween costume, he decided to go gaga by dressing up like his favorite pop icon.

Complete with hair bow and angular attire, Perez Hilton's Halloween costume was a dead-on impersonation of the infamous Lady Gaga. I bet their were a lot of other celebrity impersonators out there this year too.
