I've got a beef with you! Ellen DeGeneres presents meat-covered Lady Gaga with vegan-friendly lettuce bikini

She posed on the cover of Vogue in a meat bikini and wore a meaty dress to the MTV Video Music Awards.

But one person who doesn't appreciate Lady Gaga's beefy antics is her good friend Ellen Degeneres.

The singer appeared on the Ellen Show after winning eight MTV Video Music Awards, still wearing the meaty dress she donned for the awards.

Lettuce hope she wears it! Ellen Degeneres presents Lady Gaga with a vegan-friendly bikini

And she looked delighted when stern vegan Ellen presented her with the gift of a lettuce bikini to replace her meaty style.

Ellen asked Gaga, 'What is the purpose of the meat?'

She replied: 'Well, it is certainly no disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian. As you know, I am the most judgement free human being on the earth.

'However, it has many interpretations but for me this evening if we don't stand up for what we believe in and if we don't fight for our rights pretty soon we're going to have as much rights as the meat on own bones. And, I am not a piece of meat.'

Ellen seemed unconvinced by this explanation and presented her with the leafy bikini, much to Gaga's delight.

Ellen said: 'I have a suggestion, next time you want to pose in a bikini somewhere...'

An excited Gaga held up the bikini and said, 'It's fabulous! It's kale! Is it organic?'

Lady Gaga led the winners at last night's MTV Video Music Awards with eight trophies - so it was only appropriate she had a series of scene-stealing outfits.

The flamboyant singer paid tribute to late designer Alexander McQueen by arriving in one of his gowns, as well as her controversial raw meat dress to the star-studded Los Angeles ceremony.

The 24-year-old singer, who won eight Moonman Awards, arrived on the red carpet in a flowing regal McQueen design, comprising gold, orange and green with a Renaissance-style art print on the front and a pair of ankle-breaking Armadillo 12-inch heels by the late designer.

She teamed the outfit, similar to a meat bikini she wore for a recent Vanity Fair cover photoshoot, with a long white wig complete with gold-feathered headdress and was accompanied by a military-themed entourage.

But, of course, one outfit was not enough for Gaga, whose haul of awarded included the most prestigious Video of the Year for Bad Romance.

During the ceremony she made two more changes, wearing a black leather creation by Giorgio Armani, before finishing off with her controversial raw meat dress by Franc Fernandez, which she recently posed in on the cover of Japan's Men's Vogue magazine.

As she walked on stage to collect her Video Of The Year award from Cher, Gaga admitted the meat dress was difficult to walk in.

She said: 'This outfit's too heavy to walk in. I apologise if I'm a little slow this evening.'

Meanwhile Katy Perry dazzled in a risqué see-through Marchesa dress with black embroidery detailing to save her blushes.

Describing her outfit, she said: 'I look like an ice skater.'

As she made her arrival on to the white carpet at the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, she revealed she had a 'mad cold' and was on antibiotics.

'I'm still here because I'm a pro,' declared 25-year-old Perry.

She also told how she loves awards shows because 'you get free drinks' and 'get to meet your idols' before recalling 'and last year I took home a husband'.

Katy was referring, of course, to husband-to-be Russell Brand who she started dating at last year's VMAs in New York, which he presented.

In homage: Katy had pictures of her husband-to-be Russell Brand on her finger nails, who she met at last year's VMA Awards in New York where he was the host

He wasn't with her on the white carpet, but was at least in spirit as Katy revealed her nails had pictures of him on them.

Lady Gaga and Perry were among a plethora of artists who took their place on the white carpet amid a frenzy of flashbulbs as an army of screaming fans watched on.

Other artists taking their place included British star Florence and the Machine's Florence Welch, who donned a stunning gold Givenchy dress with a zip down the middle.

Meanwhile U.S. singer Ke$ha slipped into a low-cut metallic black dress which she claimed to have made herself.

Explaining how she made the ensemble, she said: 'I got the garbage bags from Home Depot and I kind of just put it together.'

But it was not only singers making a statement on the white carpet, with a host of faces from the big and small screen.

The Jersey Shore crew were also in full swing, with the likes of JWoww and Sammi leading the gang.

Inside the ceremony it was Taylor Swift and Kanye West's performances which turned out to be the big story of the night.

Many were expecting this year's awards to be the night Taylor got her revenge on Kanye after his highly publicised stage-storming antics of last year.

But the country singer decided not to stoop to conquer, with her highly anticipated song about West serving as an olive branch rather than a slap in the face.

The 20-year-old delivered a poignant and powerful ode at Sunday's ceremony in downtown Los Angeles which, instead of criticising him, sympathised with his difficult time in the spotlight since he infamously gatecrashed her acceptance speech for Best Video saying it should have gone to Beyonce.

Kanye made a kind of double-handed apology in his separate performance which closed the show, with his crude lyrics proclaiming: 'Let's have a toast to the douche bags, a**holes, scum bags and j**k offs.'

While his words could have been taken as an apparent attempt at self-deprecation, it was Taylor who centred on West's own admissions that his ego has often got in his own way.

'Thirty-two and still growing up now; who you are is not what you did,' she sang softly, adding: 'You're still an innocent.'
