When it comes to friends, at least those of the Facebook brand, it seems Lady Gaga has more than any living person -- more than 10 million of them.

The singer who's been charting a new course for pop culture has become the first living person to reach, and apparently quickly exceed, 10 million friends on the social networking website.

That, according to various reports, is about 700,000 more than U.S. President Barack Obama.

Gaga's fame has been sweeping the globe like a sequined tsunami.

The New York born singer/songwriter is also the first currently performing artist to tally one billion YouTube views, and her record sales, like her hair, have gone platinum.

The 24-year-old music and media sensation formerly known as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, is currently in the midst of her enormously successful Monster Ball Tour.
