Lady Gaga bares more than her heart on the cover of Rolling Stone

The latest issue of Rolling Stone features Lady Gaga on the cover sporting a gun bra and little to nothing else. Lady Gaga opens up to Rolling stone about being a diva and her public image.

As of late, Lady Gaga has been showing some diva like behavior. Showing up to Citi Field in her bra and underwear, 'flipping the bird' to photographers, and allegedly crashing the Yankees' clubhouse is her latest stunt, yet Gaga insists, “I’m not a diva, in any sense of the word.”

Rejecting the diva title, Gaga gives a simple reason for the public spectacle that is Lady Gaga. “This is showbiz for me,” she tells Rollingstone [via the New York Daily News]. I don't want people to see that I'm a human being."

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, better known as Lady Gaga, credits Michael Jackson for the inspiration to always stay in character for her fans.

"Michael got burned, and he lifted that glittered glove so damn high so his fans could see him, because he was in the art of show business. That's what we do.”

Contrary to her flashy public image, Lady Gaga admits she has insecurities, but quickly reminds her self, ”Bitch, you're Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today."

Katy Perry has a line?! And it was crossed?! I bet Lady Gaga had something to do with that.

Yesterday after the premiere of Lady Gaga's video "Alejandro," Katy Perry, the ex-christian singer turned "I Kissed A Girl" pop icon, blasted on her twitter page, "Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke." Most people took that as an indirect jab at Lady Gaga.

It is understandable that Katy Perry would be offended, like Gaga, Katy Perry has a religious past. Both her parents are pastors and she was raised evangelical. The out-of-character use of religious symbols, should agitate the average christian, but is Katy Perry the right person to take on this fight?

Katy Perry is known for her quirky and unconventional style and songs, most of which she would not be able to wear or perform in her own church. I'm sure the christian community was not blasting "I Kissed a Girl" at church functions, so Katy needs to watch throwing those rocks in that glass house of hers.

Lady Gaga's Ale-Ale-jandro video!

Lady Gaga’s highly anticipated follow up to the hugely popular “Telephone” video has been released! Directed by fashion photographer Steven Klein, “Alejandro”, true to Lady Gaga style, is a fusion of fashion, dance routines, and an abundance of jaw-dropping O-M-G moments.

A far cry from the colorful and satirical “Telephone” video, the nearly nine-minute somber cinematic short takes on a blatant religious and political angle. From the Madonna-esque machine gun bra, the latex nun outfit, and the Lady Gaga described, “homo erotic military” dancers, Gaga has not only pushed the envelope again, but also indefinitely will stir up some controversy.



The blatant sexuality of “Alejandro” and the images of Lady Gaga swallowing a crucifix in a red latex nun outfit are some of the things that will be deemed controversial, and will more than likely not be well received by the religious masses.
As of now, the full meaning of the “Alejandro” video is yet to be revealed, but Lady Gaga has said on Larry King, “It’s a celebration of [her] love and appreciation of the gay community.” Gaga will most likely go into deeper explanation in the upcoming days.

People may not agree with Gaga's views, or how she goes about communicating them, but no one can deny that she is an artist in every sense of the word, a black sheep in a flock of vapid and conforming pop stars. I personally loved it! I understand that many people will be offended or call the video blasphemous, but i realize that it is art and its interpretation will vary from person to person.
