Lady Gaga: I Don't Want a Glamorous Life

Lady Gaga says that she prefers the grime of New York to the glitz and glamor of Los Angeles.

The "Born This Way" hitmaker insists she will always live in the New York neighborhood where she grew up as she was left thoroughly unimpressed after a brief stint on the Hollywood party scene.

She said: “I actually made a choice to keep my life pretty normal.

“Some point about two years ago I said to myself, ‘OK, am I going to put my toe in Hollywood’s pond and figure out if I want to live a glamorous life and assimilate to the glamorous lifestyle’, but I really didn’t want to do it.

“And I don’t like Hollywood and I don’t like the whole scene and I just said, ‘I’m going to go home and figure out how to be the first popstar to live in the same neighborhood for the rest of their life that I grew up in’, and that’s what I do.

“I still live where I always lived, I still hang out and drink whiskey at the same bars. I still go to the same hardware store.”

Tough she uses a stage name, the eccentric star -- real name Stefani Germanotta -- insisted that fans always see her as she really is.

Said Gaga while appearing on the Kyle & Jackie O Show: “I’ve become more and more confident as a woman and a don’t make any distinction between myself as Stefani, my birth name and myself, Gaga.

“It’s just a nickname, I’m the same person through and through physically. Who my fans see that’s really who I am and they have never complained to me about it. If they do I will certainly be listening to it and paying attention as I want them to be happy.”

Lady Gaga Believes She Has '2 Souls'

Lady Gaga's paternal aunt Joanne Germanotta tragically died of lupus at the age of 19, but Gaga believes she's living on through her and inspiring all of her music and art.

Lady Gaga told WWD: “I really believe I have two hearts. I think I actually carry two souls in my body, and that I’m living out the rest of her life and her goodness -- she died a virgin, she died never having experienced all these things that we all get to love and experience in our lives. I think that I work in her image. I work in this life as part pop singer and part humanitarian, and to do great things for people because she was a good person and I don’t think she had enough time to do enough good.”

The 24-year-old singer insists the thing that is driving her career is her desire to help “disenfranchised” people, and she says she wrote her new track "Born This Way" -- which has been described as a pro-gay anthem -- to help her fans.

Lady Gaga, who won three Grammy awards last weekend, explained: “I have so many young fans. I feel not only connected to them, but I feel responsible for them in many ways. They’re very smart. They’re very full of life. And it’s an important thing for me to listen to them. And when they say, ‘I feel disenfranchised,’ I speak for them as much as I can.

“I don’t do this for the money -- I want to make a difference. And I am making a difference with my music, which is why I wrote my new song, ‘Born This Way.’ It’s a song that’s much bigger than me or my understanding of fame. I want to continue to make a difference in every way that I can.”

Lady Gaga's Studio Style: Bra, Beret and See-Through Tights

Lady Gaga's Studio Style: Bra, Beret and See-Through Tights

Always keeping it interesting when it comes to her clothing choices, Lady Gaga showed off another unique ensemble while leaving a Manhattan recording studio on Wednesday (February 16).

The "Bad Romance" hitmaker was clad in a studded beret, black bra, leather jacket, see through tights and high heel cowboy boots as she looked quite focused following the music-making outing.

With a lot going on career-wise these days, Gaga's choreographer Laurieanne Gibson recently spoke with MTV about what fans can expect from the upcoming music video for her new single "Born This Way".
Gibson dished, "I can't tell you, but I will tell you it is a life-changing experience. You can expect the highest level of execution in vocal music art and dance ... but you will be shocked."


Also commenting on the decision by the singer to arrive at the Grammy Awards in her plastic pod, Laurieanne told, "Well, actually it's a vessel. When Lady Gaga played me the record, it took me quite some time to feel the direction and the inspiration, and when she played it for me two weeks later, I was like, 'I think I got it.' I said, 'We have to birth a new race, a race that cannot hate.' And, of course, as genius as she is, she runs with it."

Taking care of some media duties, Lady Gaga was spotted at “Good Morning America” studios this morning (February 17).

The “Born This Way” songstress looked a bit scary as she flashed her monster claw while sporting a massive white hat and peculiar shades.

During her sitdown (see videos below), the chart-topping singer touched on a number of topics including HIV/AIDS awareness, Don't Ask, Don't Tell and the Grammys.

As for the past weekend's musical showcase, Gaga took home three trophies and performed her new single during the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards ceremony.



Of Gaga’s attire at the gig, Justin Bieber said, “I don't know... People say it's artistic or stuff. I'm just like, 'You're an egg!'"

Lady Gaga Can't Remember Post Grammy Parties

Lady Gaga Can't Remember Post Grammy Parties

Celebrating her three Grammy wins, Lady Gaga paid a visit to “The Tonight Show” last night (February 14).

The “Born This Way” songstress wore a see-through black outfit overtop black underwear and a black bra as she chatted with Jay Leno.

Of her post-Grammy celebrations, Lady Gaga shared, “I don’t remember very much. I know it was fun. I do remember being called drunk-y GaGa at one point.”


As for the comparisons between her new single and Madonna’s “Express Yourself,” Lady Gaga explained, "There is no one that is more adoring and a loving Madonna fan than me. I am the hugest fan personally and professionally. The good news is that I got an email from her people and her sending me their love and complete support on behalf of the single. If the queen says it, it shall be."

Lady Gaga Rocks the Grammys

Lady Gaga Rocks the Grammys

Performing her new song “Born This Way” for the first time, Lady Gaga took the stage at the Grammy Awards earlier tonight (February 13).

The “Bad Romance” songstress was wheeled out in a sort of “womb” bubble from which she emerged to join a stageful of backup dancers.

And Lady Gaga was looking fit and fine in her yellow sports-bra-style top teamed with a yellow skirt and matching heels.


Halfway through the performance, she made her way to the massive pipe organ onstage, complete with mannequin heads.

By the time she was done singing,  Lady Gaga had won over the entire Staples Center audience with her sure-to-be hit single.

Lady Gaga Talks Bedroom Behavior

She’s always had a certain shock value, and Lady Gaga didn’t pull any punches while chatting with Anderson Cooper recently.

The “Bad Romance” songstress did an interview for “60 Minutes” in which Cooper asked her if anyone calls her by her given name Stefani.

Lady Gaga replied, “Yeah, some people do. Especially in bed.” Anderson added, “You don’t want somebody yelling out ‘Lady Gaga!’”


The Lady also showed Anderson the lowly East Side apartment where she lived before her massive rise to stardom. Unfortunately, the current resident declined to let them in.

Quote Of The Day: Lady Gaga

 Quote Of The Day: Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga attended a show by a jazz musician friend and surprised diners by getting up onstage and describing herself as a:

“hooker . . . but one that still has to pay taxes”

What an interesting way to describe herself. But it should be noted that Lady Gaga also admitted she was on her fifth martini- LOL.

Are you ready for her new album?

Lady Gaga Is This Year’s Most Charitable Celebrity

 Lady Gaga Is This Year’s Most Charitable Celebrity

When Lady Gaga is not busy shopping without pants, she’s out somewhere doing something good for the world. In a poll by Dosomething.org asking which celebrity had done the most for charity this year, Lady Gaga won.

The Poker Face hitmaker’s outspoken support for gay rights and her tireless efforts in the campaign for the repeal of the U.S. military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy placed her at number one, just ahead of Keys, who led the charge against HIV and AIDS in 2010.

Taylor Swift, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, Matt Damon and Justin Bieber were also in the top 10. But where’s Angelina Jolie?

Are you happy that Lady Gaga won the poll or would you have voted for a different celebrity? I have to say that she grows on me more with every passing day. She works hard at her craft, she appreciates her fans and she gives back. What’s not to like?

Is This Fan Groping Lady Gaga?

 Is This Fan Groping Lady Gaga?

This fan looks like she’s getting a little too friendly with Lady Gaga, judging from some of these pictures.

Of course, it looks like there was a crush of fans, so I’m guessing it was accidental, or even just a misleading camera angle, given that Lady Gaga and the fan end up embracing. It’s nowhere near as bad as stalking or anything.

These types of awkward moments are probably just a day in the life for a celebrity .

Lady Gaga’s New York Wax Figure Unveiled

 Lady Gaga’s New York Wax Figure Unveiled

Madame Tussauds is really going all out for the Lady Gaga wax figure unveilings today. This morning we gave you Germany and London – and now here is New York!

“Adding Lady Gaga to our attraction is a fantastic way to continue Madame Tussauds New York’s 10th Anniversary celebration- the demand to include her figure has been overwhelming,” said Janine DiGioacchino, Divisional Director of Midway Attractions, Merlin USA. “It’s been quite a challenge to keep details of eight figure launches top secret, but the fans certainly seem to have enjoyed the intrigue. We look forward to seeing the other styles at our sister attractions as they go public across the day in Hong Kong, Shanghai, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Las Vegas and Hollywood”.

Which is your favorite so far? They are really doing an amazing job on these – all three so far look just like her, don’t they?

I showed you pictures of one of Lady Gaga’s wax figures for Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum this morning (the one in London). Here are pictures of another one in Germany.

Last month reps for Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum announced that Lady Gaga would be getting eight wax figures, so these are two. The one in these photos looks a lot like Lady Gaga, don’t you think?
