Lady Gaga Credits Wild Side to Dad
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Parties,
Like father, like daughter: Lady Gaga inherited her wild streak from her father. The "Edge of Glory" hitmaker - who famously dressed in a gown made of meat and once hatched out of an egg live on stage - explained her dad Joe hired a stripper to teach her the piano and used to enjoy al fresco romps with random women.
"He was having sex with girls under the boardwalk in New Jersey before he went to see Bruce Springsteen. He saw a lot of himself in me. My first piano teacher was a stripper. My dad told me later. I used to say to her, 'Why do you have such long nails?' She just said, 'Someday you'll understand why.'"
However, the 25-year-old singer credits her father with "kicking her ass" and helping her to stop using cocaine. "I was for sure addicted to coke. I got off it because my father called me out and kicked my ass. I didn't do it with people, I did it alone. But I regret every line I did," she said.

And to think that nothing could quite top Nicole Kidman's makeup mishap at last year's Nine premiere!
Performing an impromptu show in New York City last night, Lady Gaga showed up looking a little less than her usual fabulous self. Putting the dominatrix outfit aside (I wouldn't even know where to begin!), Gaga's eyebrows seem to have ran off while her tanning product ran amok across her face.
Perhaps someone should have bought her a mirror for Christmas? Hopefully she learns that she can always count on technology to be there for her surprise appearances!

They wanted to show that they are committed to each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together. They are still planning to marry, but that will come later when she has the time to plan a big Italian-style wedding," a source said.

Lady Gaga is Boring in Real Life
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Style,
Lady Gaga is known as "Lady DullDull" among her tour crew. The "Alejandro" singer is well-known for her outlandish stage outfits, but is said to prefer a more comfortable look when she is off-duty, opting for baseball caps and sweat pants.
"She gets all comfy in sweats and a baseball, then becomes the easygoing gal we jokingly call 'our den mom'. Another nickname we have for her is 'Lady DullDull', because she looks just like any one of us. And Stefani's sweet as a Jewish mom, always mediating and offering advice on the crew's dating problems, family issues, or whatever. She not only listens to everyone's problems, she gives really great advice on how to fix them," said a source.
In the past, the kooky star has revealed she thinks it's important to maintain her public persona at all times. "If I were to ever, God forbid, get hurt onstage and my fans were screaming outside of the hospital, waiting for me to come out, I'd come out as Gaga. I don't even drink water onstage in front of anybody, because I want them to focus on the fantasy of the music."
