Lady Gaga surprises 12-year-old Greyson Chance -- who has gotten more than 2 million YouTube hits with his rendition of "Paparazzi" -- with a phone call on Thursday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
"You're so sweet and so talented. I was so excited that you covered 'Paparazzi,'" Gaga, 24, tells the Oklahoma-based sixth grader, who first performed the song for a church talent show. "Everyone loves you so much."

"Just keep following your dreams and work really hard and stay away from girls and be focused," says the singer, who recently admitted she's celibate.
Gaga also tells Chance -- who sports Justin Bieber's hairdo -- not to be "nervous" about singing "Paparazzi" on the talk show Thursday.
