I was reading through all the Lady Gaga coverage out there today when I saw this piece about an interview the singer recently did with Anderson Cooper. In it Gaga reveals that she thinks that deep down all the public wants is to see her not just fail, but to die of a drug overdose.
From the Telegraph:
Lady Gaga, whose new single Born This Way was released today online, said: “That’s what everyone wants to know, right? What’s she gonna look like when she dies? What’s she gonna look like when she’s overdosed on whatever they think I’m overdosing on? Everybody wants to see the decay of the superstar.”
When asked by interviewer Anderson Cooper: “Do you think people wanna see your decay?” the singer replies: “What? Of course they do. They wanna see me fail, they wanna see me fall on stage, they wanna see me vomiting out of a nightclub. I mean, isn’t that the age that we live in? That we wanna see — people who have it all lose it all? I mean, it’s — it’s dramatic. And it’s…”
“And then climb their way back,” Cooper interjected.
“Right. It’s a movie,” Gaga responded. “And — and yet I just am not like that on — on my own time. … I’m not a vomit in the club kind of girl.”
Normally I think that Lady Gaga is pretty intelligent sounding, but this is just fucking ridiculous. Who does she think she is? Britney Spears in 2008? I’m pretty sure that no one out there thinks she’s going to have a River Phoenix-style death. If anything, one of those massive sparkly things she’s always wearing on her head might snap her neck, but a drug overdose?
Sounds like her own paranoia over some secret habits is poking it’s ugly little head out and giving itself away.
Molls, let’s meet at Gaga’s meat ditch for carpaccio.
I think she’s right.
What is the appeal of this chick? She’s pretty ugly and has flapjack tits.
LOLz @ flapjack tits! it’s funny ’cause it’s true
Two fried eggs nailed to a wall
I don’t think she’s being paranoid at all. The sheep like nothing more than to see someone eat it, the more gruesome, the more titillated they are.
i think y’all are both right. society would love to see her crash aaaaand her cokeheadiness is definitely poking through. like a chub.
Nooo! Lady Gaga, I never want to see you die or fall off stage! Your music has saved my life and you are such an inspiration to so many; I don’t understand why anyone would want to see you get hurt :(
Looks like Gaga is having pancakes with her beef.
