Lady Gaga announced on German TV yesterday that her new album, The Fame Monster, still set for a November 23rd release, will not only be completely new, it will cost half the original price! (UPDATE! You can now pre-order The Fame Monster album with just the 8 new songs for $7.99 from the Gaga store, as promised! (Note: When you arrive at Gaga's online shop, click "Pre-order Lady Gaga Fame Monster" and scroll down.) Other options, such as the two-disk CD and the Collectible edition can still be accessed here.) Here’s the complete transcript translation from her appearance on the German talk show Wetten Dass. You can also watch a video from the program, along with her brand spankin’ new official video for the single “Bad Romance” at the bottom of this post.

WETTEN DASS HOST: Welcome! Good evening!
GAGA: Hi everybody! Nice to meet you. How are you?
HOST: Please!
GAGA: Oh I need extra space.
HOST: Extra space. With the scythe in the bag. Welcome!

GAGA: Thank you so much! I’m so happy to be here! HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING?
HOST: I’m looking forward to every guest on my show, but had never been so excited to meet somebody in person who you know from music, who you know from the videos, the music. First I listened to “Poker Face” I knew that it’s gonna be a hit. Madonna needed many many years to reach this, but you got it in a very short time, that someone like me want Lady Gaga in his show. How have you reached this so quick?

GAGA: Well, the first thing I would like to say is happy birthday to Roman, your son. 27 years. Happy birthday!
HOST: Oh, that’s kind! A world star with heart!

GAGA: Well, actually I am. The truth is my success is only because of my fans. I have the most wonderful fans of the whole world and I love you all! In fact I have a really big announcement to say. On your show. Especially for you. I’ve been fighting with my record label because my album as a re-release was entirely too expensive. So last night I ripped it in half. So I will release an entirely new album on Nov 23rd. Half the price so that my fans don’t have to spend too much money.

HOST: Congratulations!
GAGA: Thank you!

HOST: Thank YOU! I always think the same. Usually the show is only one hour and a half, but I do 3 hours. You said your fans are from all over the world, but for Germany you have got preferences though. You’re interested in the Bauhaus Style, you read Rilke. Why do you like German culture, German architecture, German lyrics?
GAGA: Well, Rilke for me has been sort of my bible. Actually I have a Rilke tattoo on my arm. I got this in Osaka, Japan. “In the deepest hour of the night, confess to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write. And look deep into your heart where it spreads its roots, the answer, and ask yourself, must I write?”
.
GAGA: Well, I also spent much time in Germany and all over Eastern Europe and actually the new record, The Fame Monster, was inspired by Gothic industrial music, that I discovered here in Germany. So I produced and wrote all the music on the album and it’s a pop-experimentation with Gothic-industrial beats. For my fans.
.
HOST: And here we go with the World Premiere of the new single “Bad Romance” and we’re going to see half a minute of it.
.
GAGA: I can’t wait for you guys to see it.
(They play the preview, shown below.)
.
HOST: So, that’s the new Lady Gaga. Your idols, Freddy Mercury, David Bowie—I got to know them all. David sat on this couch!
.
GAGA: Oh I did. I did. END
