Around the time of the single release for "Paparazzi", Lady Gaga was spotted multiple times walking around New York City with a Purple and Gold China Teacup and Saucer. The teacup has also made appearances in some talk shows Gaga has made guest appearances on. It may be seen in the April 16, 2009 interview with Jonathan Ross while she explains the meaning behind "Poker Face". She later mentioned to the UK Sun the story behind the cup and saucer.
