Lady Gaga with Nigel Lythgoe

Lady Gaga made a surprise appearance at the International Emmy Awards last night (21.11.11).

The ‘Bad Romance’ hitmaker presented ‘American Idol’ and ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ executive producer Nigel Lythgoe with the honorary International Emmy Founders Award and expressed her gratitude for “all the early opportunities he gave me to perform on TV”.

Also paying tribute to the $140 million he has raised for charity through the Dizzy Feet Foundation and ‘Idol Gives Back‘ and hailing him as her “favourite producer”, she added: “He has always helped to nurture and foster my ideas, no matter how crazy or demographic-unfriendly they may have been.

“He always spoke poetically about the pursuit of widening the boundaries of love and acceptance in TV.”

What do we think of her dress??
