Lady Gaga Finds Musical Inspiration in Drugs?

Posted by Chase Jackson On August - 27 - 2010

“People who say they need drugs to be creative are full of s**t. I’m not some chick on the road getting high and f***ed up every night.”

Those were the words of the current queen of electro-pop, Lady Gaga, referring to her history of drug use and how it helped her shape her music that millions of people all over the world love to dance and listen to today.

In an interview with Q Magazine, Gaga recalled how she would dig inspiration for her music – or performance art as she would put it – “in dark places”. According to the artist, she wasn’t a recreational user, the drug use and the creative process for her performance pieces go together and were inseparable.  “Using drugs, I really figured out the art I wanted to make and was inspired…But I never got so far into it that I overdosed or anything”, Gaga explains.

Today, she’s sober and clean, or maybe that’s just for now, “once you open those doors they’re open forever”, a clear indication that the “Bad Romance” singer does not rule out the possibility of dipping onto the habit again in the future, but only on occasion.  “I won’t lie, it’s occasional. And when I say occasional, I mean maybe a couple of times a year”, the singer adds.

Lady Gaga Becomes Immortalized in Wax

After Emmy Award winner Jane Lynch and reality TV star Kim Kardashian recently unveiled their wax persona at the Madame Tussauds’ Wax Museum in New York City, chart-topper and award winning electro-pop singer Lady Gaga will be the next icon to be forever cherished in wax by the famous museum.

Lady Gaga’s wax statue is expected to draw huge attention especially that the artist is known for her outrageously avant-garde costumes like the bubble attire, the Kermits, the spandex she sported in her “Bad Romance” and “Poker Face” videos which by the way is less outrageous, or the intricate ensembles coupled with mile high stilettos and head dresses she was photographed in while attending various parties or awards ceremonies.

With a wide array of trademark costumes, museum execs are asking the help of Gaga fans to pick the look they would like their waxed music hero to be clad in.  “We’re open to hearing from fans about which looks they want,” museum reps told MTV News.

Gaga wax statues will be displayed in other Madame Tussauds’ museums in the country but it is not known yet if all the waxed Gagas will be sporting the exact same outfit as with the NYC figure or if it will be donning a different Gaga-trademark costume.

Lady Gaga Shows Masculine Side on Cover of Japanese Vogue

Posted by Chase Jackson On August - 25 - 2010

In the latest and fifth issue of the Japanese Vogue Hommes magazine, the cover features a skinny, black haired man in a greasy shirt and what seem to be black pants.

That’s mechanic Jo Calderone, a blue-collar worker of Italian descent.  But what is so special about him that he deserved a spot on the cover of a high fashion magazine that has a cover story title that reads, “Too Cool to Care”?  Simple, his alleged relationship with flamboyant avant-garde singer Lady Gaga.

“I met her at a shoot Nick Knight (photographer) was doing. She’s f***in’ beautiful, and funny, and interesting”, says Calderone of his lady love.  The nervous mechanic even recalls Gaga calming him during the photo shoot by saying, “don’t be baby, you were born this way”.

Check out the complete story about what really transpired between the poor mechanic and the famous musician in this new issue of Vogue Hommes in Japan.

Oh and by the way, that really is Lady Gaga on the cover – in drag – and the story is courtesy of Lady Gaga’s androgynous mind and words.  For someone who is in character, she is a good story teller, or story inventor, at that.

Posted by Chase Jackson On August - 23 - 2010

Britney Spears has gone down to twe-feat.  Lady Gaga over the weekend dethroned Spears and now has the most Twitter followers of any celebrity.

On Friday the 28 year old Spears had a small lead.  However, according to FameCount, a social media tracker, the 24 year old Lady Gage officially is in first place with a total follower count of 5,720,931 at the time while Spears had 5,699,039.

Tween Gaga, backstage at her show in Tacoma, WA on Saturday while wearing a crown that had a blue T emblem on it, posted a video message to Twitter to show her gratitude.  She thanked her “beautiful little monsters” that were following her.  Thank you for the start of my Twitter queen reign, Gaga said as she waved a scepter.  While tweeting, may you have soft cuticles always and never develop carpal tunnel.

Gaga took the vow to never engage in online celebrity shenanigans, but to tweet and tweet always.  She then told her followers to remember that she loved them.  Love yourself little monsters, she added, that’s how you were born baby.  Twitter, I love you.

Lady Gaga Doesn’t Boycott Her Arizona Show

Posted by Chase Jackson On August - 3 - 2010

Lady Gaga turned down pleas for her to cancel her “US Monster Ball Tour” date in Arizona. However from the stage she did denounce Arizona’s new immigration laws.

Gaga had received a lot of pressure to cancel the show in protest.  One group which has strongly opposed Arizona’s new laws has been the band Rage Against The Machine.  They have persuaded a number of different performers to boycott playing shows in Arizona, including Kayne West and Maroon 5.

Lady Gaga, speaking on stage, attacked the Arizona immigration laws as well as boycott plans.  She said, do you seriously think pop stars can shut the state down?  Do you think dumb pop stars like us will collapse Arizona’s economy?  What we need to do in terms of SB 1070 is be active and actively protest.

She added, I am not canceling my show.  What I will do is hold you, we will hold onto each other.  We are going to protest this state.  We can’t be afraid.  Without all the immigrants the country would have nothing.  I really mean that.  I mean that deep in my soul.

Lady Gaga Opens Up to Vanity Fair about Sex, Drugs and Baseball

Posted by Chase Jackson On August - 2 - 2010

Lady Gaga hasn’t ever been shy when it comes to expressing herself.  The singer is now revealing even more through a new candid interview where she discusses past hard times, drug use and her sex life.

In an interview with Vanity Fair that will be published in the magazine’s September Style issue, she said yes I have sex, however I’m not promiscuous.

Lady Gaga, twenty four year old singer who was born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, reportedly is back with Luc Carl, her ex musician and bartender boyfriend.

Although it may appear that Lady Gaga right now is on top of the world, the singer revealed a troubled past that is fairly recent.

Speaking of an unspecified past incident, Lady Gaga revealed that she hit rock bottom.  It was enough for sending someone over the edge.  When my mother head about the truth that day she screamed loudly on the phone.  It’s something I will never forget.  She said, I will come and get you.

Lady Gaga, instead of going into rehab, chose the support and care from her grandmother.

Recalling the time spent with her grandmother in West Virginia Gaga said, I cried.  I told my grandmother I thought I had no hope and my life was completely over.  I worked very hard.  I know I am good.  What should I do now.  She told me, I will let you cry a couple more hours.  When those hours are up, you will stop crying, pick yourself up and head back to New York where you will kick some ass.
