Well,

Rude: She probably didn't know that she'll have to squeeze with 4 other people on the same bench. This is something which I've only seen in Music Station, where big artists actually have to sit side by side in this manner. Besides, that's what Lady Gaga's image is all about, bizarre costumes that nobody else would wear.

Disrespectful: Same thing, it's the entire image that goes with her costume. If it really was rude, I'm sure her coordinators and interpretors would have let her know about it. And since she's wearing it, it's probably because noone present thought that it might be potentially disrespectful/rude/whatever.

Ignorant: Imagine being in the midst of a group of foreigners, all obviously familiar and on good laughing terms with each other, and all speaking a different language. You don't know what they're saying, or laughing about, and you can't even participate in the conversation even if you wanted to. They may be laughing at you and your clothes for all you knew. Now, won't you feel just a little awkward and defensive?

I'm not a huge Gaga fan, and I think ayu is as close to a goddess as any human can be. But this time, I just don't think it's really fair to put ayu on such a high pedestal and judge Gaga so harshly, when she's obviously out of her element and in surroundings she's not used to.

As far as I can tell, yes, she does. Though I'm not sure if much of it actually gets through... Like the conversation transcript I did below as an example:

T: It's usual then. So what does Hamasaki Ayumi-chan wear to sleep?
A: For me... Erm, what's it? Oh yeah, because I often wear restrictive clothes when performing...
T: Like a cute kid's?
A: Fluttery
T: With lots of frills
A: What's with you?
FH: Tamori-san looks really happy.
A: Tamori-san seems to know this very well...
T: I'm sorry. I let my imagination run away.

The interpretor will probably be like "the host is asking the lady next to you what she wears to bed. she says because she wears restrictive clothes when performing..." Then everyone laughs and the translation probably goes haywire, leaving Gaga more or less clueless I guess. Poor thing, actually, I'd hate to be in that kinda situation...
