"Lady Gaga is egging us on, switching her Twitter avatar to the service's default egg image. The 27-year-old global pop star also updated her Twitter bio, causing fans to panic. The new bio reads: \"This interface has been shut down temporarily. Please check back for updates.\"\nThe changes have drawn comparisons to her 2011 Grammy Awards appearance, where she arrived inside an egg and later emerged from it during a performance. The stunt is rumored to be for her fourth studio album ARTPOP, which is slated to be released this year. \nSEE ALSO: Bold Music Video Explores Small-Town Gay Romance\n\nMashable's Jeremy Cabalona highlighted the similarities in this Twitter photo:\n\nLady Gaga's Twitter avatar is an egg. She's using the same imagery to launch ARTPOP as she used for Born This Way: pic.twitter.com/cRkmtJvTGn\n\u2014 Jeremy Cabalona (@jeremycabo) July 5, 2013\n\nLady Gaga, who has nearly 39 million Twitter followers, announced ARTPOP in a tweet in August, 2012. A month later, she revealed on her Little Monsters social network that ARTPOP will be an app-based multimedia experience for iPhone, iPad, mobile and desktop. It will be \"completely interactive with chats, films for every song, extra music, content, gaga-inspired games, fashion updates, magazines, and more still in the works,\" she said. \n\nOn the Little Monsters site, Lady Gaga also changed her profile photo to what appears to be a blank canvas. Some fans are theorizing that it's a similar canvas to the one on which she plopped lyrics on when she announced ARTPOP (see above image). Fans have been changing their profile photos to the canvas in hopes she'll see and return swiftly in response. \nThough Lady Gaga is on a break from tweeting, her male alter-ego \u2014 Jo Calderone \u2014 tweeted for the first time since August, 2011. Lady Gaga famously performed as Jo Calderone during the MTV Video Music Awards in 2011.\n\nEverybody needs somebody. I'm somebody.
