"Lady GaGa has admitted that she received a career boost when Christina Aguilera was accused of stealing her look. Aguilera performed at the MTV Video Music Awards in September wearing platinum blonde hair extensions, a black catsuit and a mask, leading many commentators to claim she was imitating Lady GaGa&amp;#039;s distinctive sense of style. &amp;quot;Well, it was very flattering when it happened,&amp;quot; GaGa told DS. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s such a huge star and if anything I should send her flowers, because a lot of people in America didn&amp;#039;t know who I was until that whole thing happened.  &amp;quot;It really put me on the map in a way, though of course I don&amp;#039;t just want to be remembered for the Christina Aguilera scandal.&amp;quot; However, Lady GaGa - real name Stefani Germanotta - insisted that she is not holding a grudge against Aguilera. &amp;quot;There are no hard feelings with Christina at all,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;What it showed me was, even though I&amp;#039;ve only been on the commercial market for seven or eight months, I&amp;#039;ve really burned graphic images of my visuals onto the irises of my fans.  &amp;quot;They saw a huge, Grammy-winning star who&amp;#039;s been around for years and they recognised Lady GaGa. That to me is quite an accomplishment.&amp;quot; Lady GaGa releases her debut single &amp;#039;Just Dance&amp;#039; on January 5. &amp;gt; Click here to read our full interview with Lady GaGa "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
