Tony Bennett Says Lady Gaga Wants to Make an Entire Album with Him

Facebook.com/TonyBennettLady Gaga's duet with legendary entertainer Tony Bennett on the song "The Lady Is a Tramp" was a highlight of Bennett's #1 album Duets II last year.  But Bennett says that if Gaga has her way, that won't be last you'll hear of the pair.

Speaking to the British publication Metro, Bennett says, "She’s a very talented person.  I was with her parents recently and they said she’d like to make an album with me.  I’d like to do that, too.  I’m looking forward to it."

Bennett, an accomplished fine artist, also talked about a sketch he did last year of Lady Gaga in which the singer was nude.  "It was the right thing to do," he tells Metro.  "I paint every day.  Some days I paint models nude, like Michelangelo when he did the Vatican.  The sketch I did of her sold for $30,000 and the money went to her charity."
