Real deal: Pop star Lady Gaga won a day-long High Court case


Lady Gaga has won a court battle against the release of a single by a cartoon character called Lady Goo Goo.



The U.S. star's lawyers said fans would assume there was an official link between the Paparazzi singer and the nappy-wearing baby.

Lady Goo Goo is one of the 52  characters on Moshi Monsters - a website that allows children to adopt and name creatures.

The singing infant became a YouTube sensation with tunes including one called 'Peppy-razzi'.

But Lady Gaga was backed in the High Court when she won an injunction banning the release of the character's new song called the Moshi Dance.

Justice Vos came down against Moshi creators Mind Candy in a day-long court hearing, ruling they must not distribute any more Lady Goo Goo tunes.

Moshi Monsters website has 50 million users worldwide and is a hugely successful UK company valued at £125 million. It has been dubbed 'Facebook for Kids'.
