Lady Gaga: single and celibate
 
By Sophie Eager and Tina Sims
Mar 2, 2010


Lady GaGa, the beautiful pop star and performance artist known to shock with her revealing costumes says she is currently single and celibate, according to an MSNBC report. In fact, Lady Gaga has said she is a traditional person and considers herself "quite the lady". The 23-year-old star, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, posed topless for a new interview and photoshoot with UK magazine Q.

She said: "Well, I believe in certain institutions: cooking, serving dinner, taking care of my family. So I consider myself quite the lady." The singer later broke down in tears and cut the interview short after admitting that she has struggled with her image and her record label over the years.

She said: "The last thing a young woman needs is another picture of a sexy pop star writhing in sand, covered in grease, touching herself. My image was an issue at my record label. I fought for months and cried at meetings.

"I got criticized for being arrogant because if you're sure of yourself as a woman they say you're a b***h, whereas if you're a man and you're strong-willed it's normal."

Gaga said this to be "shocking." She's always trying to be outrageous and sexy, and to hear her say she's 'celibate' is just a publicity ploy. Witchy Stevie saying she's single isn't a revelation at all. Witches are always solitary... except when they're putting small children into ovens! :laugh:

Unless you think I'm talking about the "arrogant" comment. The way she drones on and on about herself and her "visionary" fashion and lifestyle is proof she's arrogant. :p I don't know if she can decry sexism in the music biz either. Women rule the music scene. They routinely outsell the boys in concert tours, album sales, and grammy awards. If somebody in the industry called her arrogant or a bitch, she's probably just that.

Don't get me started. Not only is she unattractive. Her music is about as exciting as watching paint dry. I tried her album....I fell asleep. That's the first time that's happened to me while listening to an album. So poo-poo on Gaga.

Image stuff aside at least she writes most of her own **** and can carry a tune. That's more than can be said for a lot of "pop stars" out there today. And to a certain point you do have to sacrifice some of your integrity and give into the label's demands. It's just the price you pay for being uber-famous in this business. Even Stevie would agree with that. No one as famous as Lady Ga Ga has 100% control over their image.

Is that why she posed topless? She's a walking contradiction.

People think she's this amazing and brave new thing but I have 2 words for her and her fans.

David. Bowie.

Isn't it possible that the record label wants her to have a sexy image even if she's not that crazy about the idea? Also, you can pose topless and have it be done with some class. Have you seen the photos?

And the inevitable upcoming backlash?

To me, LG reminds me SO much of Dale Bozzio from Missing Persons. The crazy hair, outfits, Dale did it all before Gaga.
