6.5 Fans' Twitter comments: expressing unhappiness of Golden Globes result for Best Actress

# data[].attributes.body
Lady Gaga failed to win the top prize in the Motion Picture – Drama category for her role in A Star is Born. Her fans were disappointed with results and thought that Gaga deserved the award. In this respect, Gaga is positioned as a talented, prominent actress in the fans' eyes.

Lady Gaga fans who started Sunday evening hoping for an Oscars upset-as in, Gaga winning the Best Actress Oscar instead of frontrunner Glenn Close-will have to find some solace in the steamy "Shallow" performance from earlier in the show. Glenn Close might also want to join this group, as she wasn't named Best Actress either. An upset indeed happened, but that's because Olivia Colman took home the golden statue for her performance in The Favourite.

The best part about Olivia's speech was the very end, when she simply blurted "Lady Gaga" and blew her a kiss:

Naturally, over on Twitter, Little Monsters and A Star Is Born fans alike united to show their support for the talent that brought us "Hair Body Face," all the aahs in " Shallow," and this:

Always remember Gaga this way.

Yes, Gaga won her first-ever Oscar earlier in the evening for Best Original Song, and that "Shallow" performance with B-Coops made us all red in the face, but it just feels wrong to say farewell to Ally's journey this way.

Quick, someone hang this in a museum so Ally and Jackson's story can live forever:
I'll always remember us/you two this way.

The feature outlines the whole life of Lady Gaga, including the difficulties, trials, and tribulations in childhood and career, and her current success in music and acting. The piece is helpful to portray Lady Gaga as a powerful and extraordinary individual while at the same time functioning to inspire the public to work hard for achievements by highlighting Lady Gaga's bitter experiences.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Many of us know Lady Gaga as the larger-than-life, extravagant, multi-talented artist. However, her journey to reach this point in her life was tumultuous and paved with obstacles along the way. Because she wasn't born into a wealthy family with upper-class connections, she had to work so much harder to even just get noticed. Her childhood and upbringing only made this more difficult for her - from confronting vicious bullies at school to surviving a brutal sexual assault and being dropped by her label almost immediately, Lady Gaga, born Stefani Germanotta, has faced numerous trials and tribulations. This only makes her journey to success and stardom that much more valuable, inspiring young, up and coming artists everywhere.

Lady Gaga's story began in Manhattan, New York City, the city of dreams. She was born into a staunch Catholic family, and while they lived on the Upper East Side - a wealthy neighborhood in the boroug*h of Manhattan - she revealed that her parents came from lower-class families and worked hard for everything. At the age of 11, she attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart, a private all-girls Roman Catholic school. Though she was a dedicated, studious, and disciplined student, Gaga always felt left out and insecure as she was constantly mocked for being too provocative or eccentric.

This is where she experienced cruel instances of bullying from her fellow classmates. Not only was she singled out and ostracized for how "odd" she was, but Gaga was often called horrible things like "sl*t" and "d*ke," among other awful labels. In an exclusive interview with Google, she stated, "Bullying really stays with you your whole life. And it really, really never goes away. And I know you're using words like 'superstar' and 'most-Googled' and 'billions of YouTube [views].' But I was never the winner. I was always the loser. And that still stays with me. And do I want to stick it to anybody? No. I just wanna make music."

Music, unsurprisingly, was her escape even at a young age. She began developing her talents as early as four years old when her mother instructed her to learn the piano in order to become "a cultured young woman." Throughout her childhood, Lady Gaga practiced intensely and rarely ever missed a piano lesson. In addition to this, she attended a creative arts camp, learned method acting (going on to play lead roles in Guys and Dolls and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum at a nearby boys' high school), and played at open mic nights as a teenager.

In an interview with MTV, she explained, "I don't know exactly where my affinity for music comes from, but it is the thing that comes easiest to me. When I was like three years old, I may have been even younger, my mom always tells this really embarrassing story of me propping myself up and playing the keys like this because I was too young and short to get all the way up there. Just go like this on the low end of the piano ... I was really, really good at piano, so my first instincts were to work so hard at practicing piano, and I might not have been a natural dancer, but I am a natural musician. That is the thing that I believe I am the greatest at."

After working hard at her passion for years, she was accepted into the Collaborative Arts Project 21, a music school at New York University (NYU)'s Tisch School of the Arts where she studied music and improved her songwriting skills. However, this dream-turned-reality did not last long. During this time, she worked at a diner after school and attended acting classes on the side. Most notably, she was sexually assaulted at 19, which gave her post-traumatic stress disorder. Shortly after, she withdrew from the program in order to focus on healing and advance her career in music.

Three years later, after recording two songs with hip-hop singer Grandmaster Melle Mel for an audiobook, playing all over New York City with SGBand (a band Gaga formed with some friends from NYU), and collaborating for months on end with music producer Rob Fusari, Lady Gaga found herself finally being signed onto record label Def Jam in September 2006. Unfortunately, her time there did not last long as the label dropped her after just three short months. She thus returned to her family home for Christmas and began performing at neo-burlesque shows to both fuel her musical passions and keep afloat.

It was only a year later that Gaga caught her big break. Fusari had continued to develop the songs they had worked on together and had sent some recordings to producer and record executive Vincent Herbert who, in November 2007, signed her to his label Streamline Records (an imprint of Interscope Records). Herbert has been credited with initially discovering Lady Gaga when her music was, by and large, underground. The ' Born This Way' singer then went on to write songs for Britney Spears, New Kids on the Block, Fergie, and The Pussycat Dolls.

This is when artist Akon discovered her. Impressed by her musical talents, he convinced Jimmy Iovine, chairman and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M, to form a joint deal by having Gaga simultaneously sign with his own label KonLive. Then, in the final months of 2007, Lady Gaga met with songwriter and producer RedOne, famous for working with high-profile artists such as Enrique Iglesias, Shakira, Wyclef Jean, and Mariah Carey. By 2008, she had relocated to Los Angeles and started to work extensively with her record label to complete her debut album, The Fame, which was released in August of the same year.

And the rest is history. The Fame went on to reach number one in Austria, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland and the UK, and the top five in Australia and the United States. Since then, she has released four more albums, completed six tours, found herself a passionate fan following that calls themselves 'Little Monsters,' and most recently, starred in Oscar-nominated film A Star is Born. Undoubtedly, Lady Gaga has made an unparalleled impact on the world of music - and something tells us she's only getting started.

Lady Gaga cooperated with Staples to launch a back-to-school campaign. She spent a day being a substitute teacher in Middle School. She even held the first Kindness Summit in Chicago and aimed to highlight the importance of kindness in education. This publicity material is instrumental in building her star image as a kindness advocate.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What do you get when you mix $1 million in classroom project funding with one of the world's biggest pop stars? Another amazing back-to-school campaign from our partners at Staples! For the fourth year in a row, Staples has joined us to make sure teachers have access to the supplies they need to give students the best possible education. Here are a few highlights from this year's campaign.

Your new substitute teacher: Lady Gaga

To introduce the campaign, Lady Gaga surprised a class full of Middle School students to spend the day as their substitute teacher. We'll let the video speak for itself.

A pair of flash fundings kick off the summer

On August 10th, 92 San Francisco teachers woke up to a happy email in their inbox: Every project in the city was flash funded. That meant that Ms. Ramilo's class got to kick off the year with writing materials, and Ms. Beverly's kids could learn at their new math and literacy centers. And the flash-funding fun didn't end there. A week and a half later, 158 Cleveland teachers, such as Ms. Trimble and Ms. Johnson, found their projects flash funded as well. As you might expect, we heard back from some pretty excited teachers:

Thank you for keeping me inspired and motivated to raise the bar for my students every day. Your donations will be making a huge impact on my students both today and in the future!" - Mr. Anderson, a Cleveland HS STEM teacher

I'm so excited to tell our students the great news. I hope to make learning more engaging for them. We can't thank you enough!" - Ms. Ramilo, a San Francisco 2nd grade teacher

The Kindness Summit (and another flash funding)

Working with Staples this year meant that we got a chance to team up with Born This Way Foundation, an amazing organization founded by Lady Gaga and Cynthia Germanotta, her mother and the Foundation's president. This led to a late-August event in Chicago, the first ever Kindness Summit. A teacher and a local young person joined researchers for a panel discussion on the importance of kindness in education. As Germanotta put it, "We know that students do best in schools that are kind, supportive, and empowering."

The panel's teacher, Mr. Kovach, was in for a surprise when the conference wrapped up. His project was one of 890 in Chicago that Staples flash-funded that afternoon, supporting over 600 teachers.

If you want to share your own stories of kindness in the classroom, check out the Staples Kindness Tree website or use the hashtag #GrowKindness on Twitter and Instagram.

And their customers got involved

If you visited Staples during this back-to-school season, you might have noticed our logo as you walked through the store. In August and September, Staples customers had the option to donate at checkout to support even more classroom projects. And all of those donations mean that hundreds more classrooms will access to the supplies they need. Thank you so much to everyone who gave!

Supporting the Hurricane Recovery

Teachers in Texas and Louisiana could use an extra helping of kindness from all of us this year. As they recover from Hurricane Harvey, our community has come together to make sure those teachers get back on their feet. Staples quickly joined the effort, donating over $391,000 to fund supplies for teachers in Hurricane-impacted areas.

It's been a busy back-to-school season, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have Staples with us again, helping bring a little more kindness to the world. With that in mind, let's end with an important question from the Lady herself.

"What supplies do you need to achieve your dream?" - Lady Gaga

Our teachers have 55,000 answers to that question!

The article in a fan site has gathered ten of the most inspiring Lady Gaga quotes on equality and LGBT rights. Her devotion to fighting for the rights of the marginalized groups is well recognized, which helps maintain her identity as equality advocate and "monster" or "rebel" who celebrates difference.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
To mark the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, which is being celebrated across the world today, we have collected ten of the most inspiring Lady Gaga quotes on equality and LGBT rights.

1. It's never wrong to love, but it's always wrong to hate.

When asked about homophobia in hip-hop in a 2009 interview with Fuse TV, Lady Gaga had this to say: "I feel even just in the music industry that there's very public misogynistic and homophobic behavior. When I hear one of the most famous rappers in the world say something homophobic on the radio, I want people to yell at him. I don't have to say who because they know who they are. It's not just hip-hop, it's everywhere. It's wrong. I'm not trying to create and generate more hatred in the world... I just want to generate awareness. It's always wrong to hate but it's never wrong to love."

2. They say this country is equal, but it's not equal if it's sometimes.

In 2010, Lady Gaga took the stage at the National Equality March in Washington, D.C. to demand equal rights for the gay community. "Obama, I know you are listening," Gaga said before screaming, "Are you listening? We will continue to push you and your administration to bring your words of promise to a reality. We need change now. We demand actions now."

3. If we don't stand up for what we believe in, pretty soon we're going to have as much rights as the meat on our bones.

Lady Gaga brought four members of the U.S. Armed Services, who had been discharged because they were openly gay, on the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards red carpet. Later that night, she wore a dress made of raw meat to make a powerful statement on equality. "What I was really trying to say was dead meat is dead meat," she told Anderson Cooper. "And anyone that's willing to take their life and die for their country is the same. You're not gay and dead, straight and dead. You are dead."

4. Equality is the prime rib of America, but because I'm gay, I don't get to enjoy the greatest cut of meat my country has to offer.

5. I'm beautiful in my way, 'cause God makes no mistakes. I'm on the right track baby, I was Born This Way.

In 2011, Lady Gaga released her anthem "Born This Way," which changed the lives of millions of people and started a movement of love, equality, and acceptance.

6. Modern social issues are real, they are serious and the laws that confine them having an overarching effect on humanity.

Standing before St. Peter's Basilica, Lady Gaga spoke in front of thousands of fans at Europride 2011 in Rome. "Let us give birth to a new and international ideology," she urged. "Let us come together and synthesize our histories into today. Let us be revolutionaries of love and use our human powers, our very strong human powers, to save lives and encourage unity around the world."

7. They said, "When you go to Russia, they may arrest you." I said, "Arrest me, Russia!"

In 2012, Lady Gaga brought her Born This Way Ball tour to Russia, where she was threatened with prosecution for supporting gay rights. During the show in Moscow, she said: "I can't even believe that you're all here because when they first called me they were like, 'we want you to go to Russia but we might have some problems because of all the gay propaganda in your show'. Thank you for spreading the message of equality around the world. Thank you for spreading the message of Born This Way."

8. We're not in the same place that we were 25 years ago when it comes to being gay.

During on of the Born This Way Ball shows in New Zealand, Gaga said: "We're not in the same place that we were 25 years ago when it comes to being gay. Why do I have to be gay and be a cunt? Why do I have to be gay and have to slice you to defend myself? Why if I'm gay do I have to ah be shady or bite you because I want to defend and separate myself from humanity. We're not in that place anymore. There's no need to put people down. With Born This Way, a lot of people tried to stop me, and they still will. But the truth is, it's not working. It's not working because it's not relevant anymore to be hateful about equality. It's not relevant anymore to be bitter. It's not relevant anymore to hold on to the past and hold on to the pain of what was, what's relevant now is to leave that all behind and look forward to a future where it doesn't matter what you are because we are all human and we all deserve to be valued and know our value no matter where we are. So that's what my message is.

9. What the Pope thinks of being gay does not matter to the world.

In 2012, to Pope Benedict's comments about same-sex marriage being "defective." She said: "I think that gay marriage is going to happen. It must. We are not actually equal - humanity - if we are not allowed to freely love one another...What the Pope thinks of being gay does not matter to the world. It matters to the people who like the Pope and follow the Pope."

10. If anybody here is uncomfortable with this you should fucking go because you're on the wrong side of history.

Lady Gaga brought an audience member on stage at the artRAVE in Manchester to help him propose to his boyfriend. "I just want to do something special for you," she said. "I'm not sure, but I think that Jay might have something to ask you." After the man got down on one knee, Gaga wished the couple a "beautiful, long and happy marriage" and added: "I'm pretty sure I don't have to say this because this a pretty free-thinking city but I'm going to fucking say it anyway: if you are living in the UK or in Manchester and whether you are young or old or in the middle, if you are gay hold your head up high and be proud. You don't have to hide. You're human. And if anybody here in the audience, I can't imagine there is, but if anybody here is uncomfortable with this you should probably fucking go because you're on the wrong side of history and everybody in here is on the right side."

The article summarized the serious condition Gaga was faced with, especially her changes in music manifest in the albums "Born This Way" and "Artpop". It negatively impact her successful star image.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's already known as ARTFLOP.

On Nov. 6, amid the kind of hype not seen since Michael Jackson floated a statue of himself down the Thames River, Lady Gaga released her third studio album, "ARTPOP."

And not since Jackson has such a globally famous, white-hot pop star had such a rise and precipitous fall: "ARTPOP" is on track to lose $25 million for her label, Interscope, prompting rumors of imminent layoffs.

But it's not just album sales. When Gaga opened this year's MTV Video Music Awards, her performance was eclipsed by the twerking Miley Cyrus. Gaga's work as both host and performer on a recent "Saturday Night Live" was underwhelming, and her recent ABC special, "Lady Gaga & The Muppets' Holiday Spectacular," had a dismal 0.9 rating among viewers ages 18 to 49, with just 3.6 million viewers total.

"That 'Applause' Gaga is hearing these days has been reduced to a polite golf-clap," said The Wrap, referring to the title of her first single from the album.

Just five years ago, Lady Gaga exploded on the scene with her debut album, "The Fame." She had an invented backstory as an art-school freak (in reality, she was a rich private-school graduate from the Upper West Side), a raft of witty, sophisticated pop songs and an ever-changing visual presentation that pulled from the greatest eccentrics of the 20th century, from Schiaparelli to Leigh Bowery - all thanks to a small, tightly knit team of stylists, collaborators and advisers that she called the "Haus of Gaga."

"I don't feel that I look like the other perfect little pop singers," she told Rolling Stone in 2009. "I think I look new." Indeed, Lady Gaga felt like the first pop star since David Bowie to approach every aspect of performance sideways. In a landscape populated by earnest, business-minded, on-brand idols like Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood and Katy Perry, here was this glorious freak show with mass appeal, a kook with genuine talent.

And, as suddenly, it seems the public at large is now exhausted by Lady Gaga. Even she admits it: "People think I'm finished," she told Britain's Guardian newspaper in September.

What's gone so wrong?
The inner circle flees
When Lady Gaga released "The Fame" in August 2008, she insisted the album - full of songs about boys and booze - was much deeper than the average pop record. It was, she said, a meta-commentary on a culture obsessed with celebrity as the ultimate validation, and the masses loved it all: "The Fame" ultimately sold more than 12 million copies.

"I operate from a place of delusion - that's what 'The Fame' [is] all about. I used to walk down the street like I was a f-king star," she told Rolling Stone. "I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be - and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth."

She credited the Haus of Gaga - her version, she said, of Warhol's Factory - with engineering her rise. There was Troy Carter, the brilliant and loyal manager who signed her in 2007; Laurieann Gibson, her choreographer and creative director; and Nicola Formichetti, the visionary stylist who refined her catchall approach to eccentric dressing, turning her into a high-fashion obsession as well as a regular in tabloids, newspapers and gossip blogs. Within months, Gaga was the rare global superstar to toggle high and low.

"I don't want to take any credit for Nicola's work," she told CNN in 2010. "He's really, really an amazing designer; he's an amazing creative."

Formichetti quit this past summer. "I've done two albums with her, it's been like five years, and you know . . . I cannot do it every day," he told WWD. "She changes like five times a day; it's insane."

Formichetti's absence is keenly felt; since he quit, Gaga's looks have become crude, obvious, off-putting. Most recently, she wore a grotesque, disfiguring grill to the YouTube awards, turned her face into a Picasso-inspired funhouse reflection and wrapped herself up like a burn victim.

"She doesn't know how to do this as well as [Formichetti] did," says celebrity stylist Robert Verdi. "People think it's just so stupid and easy to come up with a meat dress - but it's such a unique way to approach branding talent. The synergy between the music and the way she presented herself actually lets people know how hard the styling was. I think she needs to find partners that understand her the way Nicola did. She's falling short now - it's hard to keep up at that level."

In November 2011, Gaga also parted ways with choreographer Gibson. "No judgment, but it just got a little dark for me, creatively," Gibson told "Entertainment Tonight Canada."

The most shocking defection from Gaga's camp came last month: Carter, the veteran manager who guided her ascent, quit less than a week before ARTPOP's release. As Page Six reported, Gaga's label was concerned that the record had no hits and asked her to tweak some of the tracks, or release the record as an EP. She declined, and Carter attempted to intervene, to no avail.

Gaga, according to one source, said she refused to "adulterate my art," and Carter quit.

"I have a lot of experience in this area," says one longtime label executive and producer. "Artists have a lot of help on their first albums, and they're open to a lot of help, and they are very smart collaborators and make great work."

Once that work results in great success, he says, the artist invariably believes they are solely responsible. "Time and again, they feel like they could have done it themselves, and if they had done it their way, it would have been even bigger," he says. "So they jettison the people who helped them get where they are and hire people who are less powerful, who let them do what they want. I think that may be where Lady Gaga is."

And without anyone formidable to guide her, Lady Gaga, for the first time in her career, seems culturally tone-deaf, releasing an album that's ostensibly about modern art - a "reverse Warholian expedition," as Gaga so loftily describes it - to a public that doesn't care.

The release party, dubbed an "artRave," was held at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and included installations by Jeff Koons (who did her album cover), Marina Abramovic and Robert Wilson. Members of Gaga's audience defaced several sculptures by Koons, whose "Balloon Dog (Orange)" just sold at Christie's for $58.4 million.

Once a master at spectacle, her artRave entrance, strapped in a gargantuan hovercraft that lifted her about three feet into the air, fell flat. When she performed, she wept for no discernible reason. She declared the event was no mere record-release party, but about something larger than herself: "the youth of the world." She did not elaborate. She then rambled about her struggles with sobriety and said that by collaborating with her, Koons was "giving a gift to young artists all over the world," her convoluted logic belying self-congratulation.

"Never before," said Pitchfork's Amy Phillips, "have I felt more like I was living a scene from 'Spinal Tap.' "
'In a dangerous place'
Perhaps the best analogy to Lady Gaga's trajectory is the rise and fall of the Showtime series "Homeland."

When it debuted in late 2011, "Homeland" was a wild and unlikely hit, a thriller about a brilliant, bipolar CIA agent who falls in love with the Marine-turned-sleeper terrorist she's tracking. Like Gaga, "Homeland" was a surprise: culturally relevant and super weird, electrifying in its warp-speed approach to burning through story.

But after that first season, it became clear that the writers had no idea where to take their narrative, and the show's once-organic outrageousness curdled into patronizing gimmickry.

With her first record, Lady Gaga, too, burned through story - the outsider artist who crashed through popular culture, the "Mother Monster" to all the world's freaks - and she clearly had no sense where to go next.

She spoke of addiction issues with pot and alcohol, but that narrative never gained traction - perhaps it was too pedestrian, or perhaps no one believed such a dogged careerist would ever lose that much control. Nor did her alleged hip injury, which put her out of commission for months, capture public sympathy or imagination. She didn't even use it to go away - instead, she commissioned a gold wheelchair, and she began to feel like the guest who just wouldn't leave.

"She had this incredible origin story emblematic of underdogs everywhere, but she's no longer that," says the exec. "She hasn't found another thing that she can represent. She has to write another great story about where she is in her life - Eminem is really great at that. But when you come out and your new single is called 'Applause' and it's about how you need it - you have to be about more than that."

The most critical problem, says the exec, is quality control. None of the singles Gaga has released since "The Fame" has reached the same level of critical and commercial success. "I don't think she's made groundbreaking music since her first record," he says. "It's not enough to be a larger-than-life personality and have marketing muscle behind you."

With her second release, 2010's "Born This Way," Gaga - devoid of the humor that made her so refreshing, that rare famous person in on the joke - began sounding as self-serious and delusional as Kanye West. "This album is the greatest of my career," she said, calling herself the "voice of our generation" and predicting that "in 20 years, [this record] will be seen as my iconic moment."

Instead, "Born This Way" was roundly criticized for blatantly ripping off Madonna's "Express Yourself" on the title track, and for songs that were "thin" (Boston Globe), "boring" (Washington Post) and more concerned with "trite sloganeering" (Village Voice) than the witty lyricism she displayed on "The Fame."

Her great friend Elton John, who named Gaga godmother to his two children, went public with his concern in September. "I'd like to be able to talk to her right now, but I can't get through to her," he said. "And there are times when you have to listen. When your persona begins to take over your music and becomes more important . . . [when] you have people around you who don't question you, you're in a dangerous place."

They have since made up, as famous people do, on Gaga's primetime holiday special.

So how does Lady Gaga reclaim her status - if not above, than among - the Taylors and Katys and Mileys? "Lady Gaga has set the bar very, very high for herself," says the exec. "If her goal is to be more outrageous than she was before - I don't know that she can surpass it. What she can do? Write a great song."

It's already known as ARTFLOP. On Nov. 6, amid the kind of hype not seen since Michael Jackson floated a statue of himself down the Thames River, Lady Gaga released her third studio album, "ARTPOP."

The articles shows that Lady Gaga was in dilemma for no other single in the album "Artpop" reach the top three in either America or the UK (except one single "Applause"). It could reflect that Gaga's star image may be hard to be positioned as successful, powerful.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Back in 2008, when Lady Gaga mania began, it often felt like you couldn't avoid her. There were the hit records, of course - Poker Face, Telephone and Bad Romance to name just three. But in the space of a few years there were also the meat dresses, the Grammy performances in giant eggs and an almost regular stream of controversy. You'd be forgiven for thinking that the popstar, born Stefani Germanotta, was constantly thrusting herself into the public eye - but the reality, she says, was quite different.

"I hid in my house," she explains matter-of-factly when I meet her before the opening night of the iTunes festival at the Roundhouse in north London. "I hid a lot ... to preserve my image as a superstar to my fans. I don't mean I am a superstar, I mean that they only ever see me at my best. And it really drove me crazy. So I've really had to make more of an effort to go out more. I mean, can you imagine what it's like not to feel real wind? Honestly, I hadn't felt real wind for years!"

Gaga prides herself on putting her fans first, and in this instance it seems she didn't want her fans to ever see her as a normal human being. "I would be indoors all day and then I'd get in a car in a garage and then drive to another garage and get out and rehearse and then do it again, from country to country, and never walk outside. I remember some of the longest walks I had were from the car to the aeroplane on the tarmac."

During this performance Gaga will perform the title track from her forthcoming album ARTPOP and utter a line that sums up everything her fans love about her and her critics detest: "My art-pop could mean anything," she coos over a lilting electronic throb. To her detractors - of which there seem to be a growing number - she's the perfect example of the dichotomy of the globe-straddling megastar spouting empty signifiers with the meaning crowbarred in afterwards. To her hardcore fans (or "Little Monsters"), she's not only the greatest pop star on the planet, but a sort of cult leader whose mantra of self-love, implemented on her last album Born This Way, acts as their Bible.

Perhaps aware of her Marmite appeal, today Gaga is immediately on the charm offensive, giving me a kiss on arrival and complementing me on my shoes (at one point she bends down to stroke the material). Her PR and manager, both lurking near the door, are instructed to sit down and "stay quiet". Shuffled back on an armchair so that her giant heels swing off the ground, she has the mannerisms of a well-behaved toddler. But there's also an ever-present strain of determination that underlines everything she says. You sense she's aware that while 2011's Born This Way album sold 6m copies worldwide, many saw it as a the end of her imperial phase, with the album's last single Marry the Night becoming her first to miss the US top 10. With only one single released so far - the 80s electropop of Applause - there's a palpable feeling that the ARTPOP campaign is already stalling, with the single yet to reach the top three in either America or the UK.

A few weeks ago, Gaga tweeted a Michael Jackson quote that read: "The bigger the star, the bigger the target". Does she feel persecuted? "Yeah, for sure I do," she replies without hesitation, her skintight jumpsuit parping with her every movement. "Yes! I certainly feel that at this time it's almost as if people are surprised they haven't already destroyed me."

She puts a straw to her mouth and takes a dramatic slurp. "It gives them a sense of pleasure when they believe that they've destroyed me or taken me down. It's almost entertainment for people to poke fun at Lady Gaga, but at the very same time they have no idea the album I've made. They have no idea what I put into this, they have no idea the work that I've put behind my performances and what I do. In fact, people have no idea what it really took for me to get here. So it doesn't bother me, it's just an interesting observation of where we are as a society."

Before being asked about it, she brings up the success or otherwise of Applause: "It's literally not even been two weeks since my first single came out and it's all, 'She's over', or because I'm not No 1 yet, 'She's finished'. People focus less on the music and focus more on how the music's doing; how it's faring from a numbers perspective, from a financial perspective. If you think I give a damn about money then you don't know me as an artist at all." She adds: "I think that once you've had a few No 1s in your career that you've kind of proven yourself and I don't feel the need to prove anything anymore."

For some, Applause's failure to connect in the way her previous singles have done is down to the fact that it appears to be solely about Gaga and for Gaga. Written after she had to cancel her Born This Way Ball Tour at the beginning of the year, the result of a severe hip injury that required an operation and left her in a wheelchair, the song is about the need she has as a pop star to experience adulation from a crowd.

Gaga says she would have tried to keep the hip operation a secret - to shield her fans once more - if she had managed to make it to the end of her tour, but it wasn't possible. "I was wheelchair-bound two weeks before that even happened," she says. "That I did hide from them because I didn't want to stop the show. I know everyone was thinking I was trying to be a bit silly with my gold wheelchair but I was really trying to keep a bit of strength for my fans because it really upset them and scared them."

Gaga disputes the idea that Applause is a song for herself. Rather, she says, it is as universal as any love song. "It's so interesting for people to say that the lyrics are all about me the performer," she says, somewhat disingenuously. "I want you to feel that way about yourself, that's why I wrote the song. I want you to wake up in the morning and say: 'I live for your applause, look at me today, I'm having a great day, I'm going to work and I'm going to have a fantastic lunch with my friends.' But it's not to be taken quite as seriously and as literally as people make it to be, which is why in the verses I'm sort of making fun of what people think about fame."

It is this sense of humour that Gaga's critics tend to forget, or have been more likely to forget since Born This Way's heavy-handed "we are all equal" didacticism. Like Michael Jackson before her, it often felt like the Biggest Pop Star on Earth was creating music not for the everyday pop fan who might buy an album, but for the first 20 rows of dressed up, banner-waving, camped-out-since-4am apostles. When you talk about your fans, who do you mean? "I mean everybody. I mean anyone that's watching."

Gaga concedes that it can be "uncomfortable" to fall in love with a pop star that has more to her under the surface than was bargained for. "Suddenly the pop star takes off her sheep's clothing and you see the kind of dingy, underground, metal-loving girl from New York who wants to talk about equal rights and go on and on and on about loving yourself. I made a choice to show people that," she says. "I made a choice to do that because I wanted them to know that for the rest of my career, underneath every outfit that I have on, that girl is always underneath. With ARTPOP I'm veering in a new direction in terms of my messaging, but Born This Way was all about that particular message."

Did you anticipate that this would lose you fans? "I was comfortable with just speaking to the ones that really needed to hear the message and confident that I had enough great songs on the album that the general public would latch on to," she says. "People can say whatever they want about whether or not I enforced change [in her fans' lives] or if it's all fake, but the truth of it is I travelled the entire length of the world with the tour."

At this point she rattles off audience attendance figures at various venues, checking facts with her manager, before, seemingly apropos of nothing, adding: "I know people said I wasn't selling out in America but that was entirely untrue, we sold out all over the world and every night I looked out into the fans and those front rows that you're talking about, the tears, the honesty, the inability to not be completely overjoyed because they felt accepted. That's sometimes more powerful than making a pop song and it just was at that time."

We talk briefly about the recent MTV VMA awards, which she opened with a dazzling, Botticelli-influenced performance of Applause. Even that, however, was overshadowed by Miley Cyrus and her semi-naked grinding of Robin Thicke's groin area. "For me, my performance was not about taking clothes off, if that makes sense. I wanted it to be strong and beautiful and powerful and full of confidence. It doesn't bother me, though, that there was a lot of attention paid to any other performances, it's not a competition. I do what I do and they do what they do. Isn't it nice that it all happened and that it's all been recorded and we can watch it all - it's not like the good things stay and everything else gets erased."

It's rare for a pop star of Lady Gaga's stature to acknowledge failure and she seems, on the surface at least, happy to concede that some of the novelty of what she does has worn off slightly. In fact, she is open about the fact that things needed to change following Born This Way.

"I had really tried to hide a lot of my pain from my past in the last few years," she says towards the end of the interview, whereas at the Roundhouse a new song, Swine, is introduced with, "My heart, my skin and my pussy felt like trash." It seems to hint at domestic abuse. Does this hint at Gaga's future direction? That she's ready to come out of hiding, to reveal herself?

"For ARTPOP, I, in the most metaphorical explanation, stood in front of a mirror and I took off the wig and I took off the makeup and I unzipped the outfit and I put a black cap on my head and I covered my body in a black catsuit and I looked in the mirror and I said: 'OK, now you need to show them you can be brilliant without that.' And that's what ARTPOP is all about. Because I knew that if I wanted to grow, if I really wanted to innovate from the inside, I had to do something that was almost impossible for me."

Lady Gaga was severely criticized for her song "Born This Way", which challenges her initial talented star image.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
LADY Gaga is facing her first critical backlash since bursting onto the world stage three years ago.

After 55 million albums sold in the last three years, five Grammys and notching up 360 million views for her Bad Romance clip on YouTube, Gaga could be forgiven for thinking her latest unashamedly proud pop offering would be met with the same adulation as her previous hits.

Wrong. Very, very wrong.

The meat-wearing, egg-hatching, cultural pastiche-clutching pop princess' latest track, her emotional anthem Born This Way she says she wrote in "10 f*****g minutes," is facing a critical drubbing.

Numerous accusations that the track is a blatant rip-off of Madonna's Express Yourself surfaced nearly immediately after the song's release recently.
Watch both clips below and tell if you think Gaga is channelling Madge too closely
Even the original Material Girl's brother Christopher Ciccone weighed in, telling Radar Online: "All I can say is ' What the F**K!"

"It sounds just like Express Yourself - I can't believe it to tell you the truth."

Controversy or not, the song has already made history, becoming the fastest selling track online ever after selling more than one million digital copies in five days.
What the critics say:

"Her new single Born This Way has been drenched in a Seaworld-sized orca tankful of Madonna; to be precise - about 10 thousand gallons of Madonna's 1989 hit Express Yourself, to which the new Gaga outing bears an almost note-to-note" - The Daily Beast

"Her new single sounds like it was Frankensteined in a lab from harvested parts of other artists' gay anthems... in 10 minutes. It's overworked, overwrought, noisy, cheesy, and very, very derivative," The Amplifier

"She, too, wanted to inspire a generation to express itself -- bravely, proudly, ready or not. Her intention was good. But she used Madonna's untouchable classic to do so. It's like digging up holy ground to build and consecrate a shopping mall. It's instinctually offensive. Just plain wrong" - The Huffington Post

"Basically it is a reworking of Madonna's Express Yourself with a touch of Madonna's Vogue. Which is a bit too much Madonna for someone who is trying to establish her own identity as the, er, new Madonna," - the UK's Daily Telegraph

"It's an event, a statement, the most anticipatrended song in the history of recorded music" - Rolling Stone

"Born This Way sums up everything gaudy and glorious about Gaga, all her politics and sex and Catholic angst and smeared lipstick, in one admirably compact blast of disco aggression" - Rolling Stone

"She imitates Madonna's deadpan rap from Vogue, ...Gaga offers a clever update on the Benneton ad concept of marketable variety" - LA Times

Lady Gaga can now add Golden Globe winner to her resume.

The worldwide superstar took away the statue for best actress in a limited-series or TV movie for her role as The Countess in " American Horror Story: Hotel."

She was up against Kirsten Dunst ("Fargo"), Sarah Hay ("Flesh & Bone"), Felicity Huffman ("American Crime") and Queen Latifah ("Bessie").

"I feel like Cher in that John Patrick Shanley movie 'Moonstruck,' Gaga said on stage during her acceptance speech. "This is one of the greatest moments of my life."

Appearing to be genuinely surprised and taken aback, the musical phenomenon thanked each and every one of her cast members, plus " American Horror Story " creator Ryan Murphy and her family.

Through tears, Gaga revealed," I wanted to be an actress before I wanted to be a singer - but music worked out first."

Backstage, Gaga told press about her "AHS" character for which she earned her award. "For many people, darkness is just that, they see it as a bleak, empty space. For me darkness is an expression of art, you can create things that are so beautiful out of something sad," she said, adding that working on the show "was exhilarating, liberating. I would leave the set every day in tears, just full of relief. The countess is evil, she's not a goodwilled person, but after 100 years she never gave up, no matter what she went through. You will fail in this business, the true test is whether you can get back up. I love the art of darkness."

The winner of six Grammys, Gaga's acting credits include "Machete Kills," "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" and "Men in Black 3." Her first role was "girl at swimming pool #2" in 2001 in "The Sopranos."

"American Horror Story" was also nominated for best TV movie or limited-series, but lost out to "Wolf Hall."

Cooper spent the last three years working on his directorial debut, and it looks like he's given Warner Bros. a major awards player.

Warner Bros. has finally pulled back the curtain on Bradley Cooper's highly anticipated directorial debut " A Star Is Born," and the first reviews out of the Venice Film Festival are enthusiastically positive. Cooper directs himself and Lady Gaga in the third adaptation of the classic love story, which centers around two musicians navigating stardom and their blossoming relationship.

While film critics are sharing raves for Cooper's grounded direction, which immerses the viewers on stage with his characters, Lady Gaga is by far and away earning breakout acclaim for her film debut. Prior to "A Star Is Born," Gaga had a lead role on FX's television series "American Horror Story: Hotel," for which she won a Golden Globe, and appeared in a cameo role in Robert Rodriguez's "Machete Kills." Even more straightforward reviews single out Gaga as the film's most valuable component.

"The pop star is resplendent as a diamond-in-the-rough singer," IndieWire's Michael Nordine writes of Gaga in his review. "Her magnetism draws you into the world...she instantly makes you believe in her Ally as a no-name talent despite already being one of the most successful singers on the planet."

"Even with everything Gaga's already done, 'A Star Is Born' feels like a coming-out party for her," Nordine continues. "Cooper is a co-lead but, in much the same way that his Jackson Maine takes Ally on tour and facilitates her burgeoning superstardom, it often feels like his onscreen goal is to play second fiddle and help us see that, as both an actress and a singer, his co-star is a singular talent."

Warner Bros./YouTube

The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw writes in his five-star review that "A Star Is Born" is"outrageously watchable" with Gaga as its "mesmerizing" center. "Her ability to be part ordinary person, part extraterrestrial celebrity empress functions at the highest level at all times," he writes.

"Believe the pre-premiere hype: Lady Gaga is nothing short of extraordinary," raves The Film Stage's Leonardo Goi. "'A Star is Born' showcases oodles of Gaga's preternatural musical talent, but also confirms-if there was ever a need to prove it-her magnetic stage presence...The real surprise here is not Cooper, but Gaga. More than a newly born star, hers never stops growing."

More strong notices for Gaga's debut can be found in Variety ("a fetching and accomplished movie-star debut, ebullient and winningly direct"), Entertainment Weekly ("she deserves praise for her restrained, human-scale performance"), Little White Lies ("a captivating performance'), and Telegraph ("Lady Gaga electrifies in a Hollywood musical for the ages").

Warner Bros. will release "A Star Is Born" nationwide October 5.

Gaga offers her views on mental health and the importance of kindness for the world. It seems that her image not includes a kind, reflective element.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Once again, Lady Gaga has proven she is the queen of her own castle, now adding Haus Laboratories, her makeup line, to groundbreaking accomplishments in music and film. In a recent meeting of the first-name-only-required greats, Gaga spoke to Oprah, the original multifaceted female mogul and an early champion of emotional well-being, about her exponential career path and her battles with mental health issues.

The two women consider it a personal quest to lift the stigma and shame that can surround mental illness, and the role that each has played in opening up the global dialogue is undeniable: Oprah teamed up with Prince Harry earlier this year to create a documentary series exploring the issue (out in 2020), and Gaga was invited to meet with Prince William in London to discuss mental health initiatives they could work on together, but was unable to attend as she needed to be with her doctors. Here, Gaga opens up to her hero about her personal growth from both pain and kindness.
Oprah: I first interviewed you almost 10 years ago in 2010 on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and I could see then and feel, energetically, you blossoming into yourself. You were at this moment where you were wide open to your own self-discovery and self-expression. How have you become more of yourself in the past 10 years?
When you look back on the past 10 years, at what moment do you feel that you were most able to express that kindness heals all things?
Lady Gaga: I think as my career has grown and changed and I've done different things, I've become very mindful of my position in the world and my responsibility to humanity and to those who follow me. And I consider myself to be a kindness punk. I look back at everything I've done, and I look at what I'm doing now, and punks, you know, have a sort of reputation for being rebellious, right? So for me, I really view my career, and even what I'm doing now, as a rebellion against all the things in the world that I see to be unkind. Kindness heals the world. Kindness heals people. It's what brings us together-it's what keeps us healthy.
Have you known that since you were at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, and dropped out after a year, and then pretended to be your own manager and hauled your keyboard from gig to gig-you knew it then, right?
I think it really started with my relationship with my fans. Looking out into the audience and seeing so many people who were like me, people who felt different, who didn't feel seen or understood. And then also seeing a lot of kids who felt afraid to be open about who they were, it became sort of an existential experience for me, where I thought about what it means to be an individual-I wanted to fight for those individuals. I actually said this the other day on social media. I said, "I didn't do this for fame, I did it for impact." And that's the truth. I recognized very early on that my impact was to help liberate people through kindness. I mean, I think it's the most powerful thing in the world, particularly in the space of mental illness.
I want to say I think the thing that you have done the most with, and the best, in a way that now the whole world is sort of coming to understand-we see it all through social media-was starting the Born This Way Foundation. You were making a statement to people that however you are is how you're supposed to be. I want to know what advice you have for people who are still afraid to be themselves, who are living a false life.
Well, that was a bit cunning. I don't know that that was completely kind. But I learned from my mom, Oprah. When I would come home from school, if I was bullied, she would always say, "Kill them with kindness." And maybe "kill them" is an aggressive way of saying it, but, you know, she meant it in the kindest of ways. What she meant was, "Don't fight fire with fire; fight fire with water."
That really is kind.
I think I would say that, truthfully, it's not false. If you are not yet out in the open about who you are, I would have compassion for yourself that you're not ready yet, and take steps every day.
Let's talk about this. What made you feel ready to become a beauty entrepreneur?
You know, it's very easy to say to someone, "Be brave," but it's not so easy to practice. I mean, if you feel shame for who you are, and you don't feel supported by people around you, you're afraid. Shame is powerful. But give yourself time. Allow yourself to take little bites every day. That's what I would say: Take little bites of bravery. I wouldn't say it's a false life. I would say that's a reality, and that reality can change. That's actually also why I made Haus Laboratories, truthfully.
So that's the mission of the line, to be inclusive of all gender identities?
I wanted to do it because (a), I had the time-I wanted to put everything into it, which I do with everything that I do. I don't just put a company together, hire a staff, and have them do it. I said this the other night at our launch: "My fingerprints are all over this. It's a crime scene." And (b), I felt that I had the platform and had built the foundation around what I stand for, so that when this company came out, it would be a rebellion in a kind way against the status quo of beauty as it is today, which is in many ways on social media, a competition. It's a beauty pageant in a lot of ways. This company exists in an influential space in culture where we say, "Our Haus. Your Rules." And everyone is welcome-all gender identities.
Aren't you constantly amazed at the power beauty has to uplift people? I just remember being in a hospital where women were getting their fistulas mended in Ethiopia and we were handing out lipsticks, and they were literally trying to crawl out of bed to get to them.
All gender identities, all racial identities, everyone, every age. This is for everyone.
I'm wondering, Do you still feel pressure to constantly outdo yourself? Is it a shackle on you in any way?
It's very powerful, and I felt so just not beautiful when I was young, and when I left college, my parents were not very pleased with me at the time. I said I wanted to be a musician. I worked three jobs, paid my own rent, and went to the drugstore to buy makeup. I experimented with color, and I looked at myself in the mirror, and I literally made myself. I invented Lady Gaga. And it made me feel strong, it made me feel powerful. I've suffered from depression since I was a little girl, but oh my goodness, the superhero that flew out of me, it was like Clark Kent and Superman-it gave me wings to fly. And that's also why I refused to change. As my career progressed, even before I was famous, when people would say, "Oh, the makeup, there's too much makeup. It's over the top, blah, blah, blah," I would be like, "This is my life force. This is what helps me fly."
After the meat dress, did you feel that way: "Where do I go from here?"
Not anymore. I used to, though. Oprah, I've got to level with you 100 percent: I used to try to wrap my brain as heavy as I could around what I could do to.... Instead of being shocking (I used to say "shock art" or "performance art"), I would use the word "bemuse," which is basically putting the audience in a state of confusion where they can't look away. I used to just go, "What am I going to do next to get people's attention?"
I have to ask you one question about Bradley. I was sitting in Bradley's kitchen the other day, and he was taking care of his daughter, and we ordered takeout, and it was just wonderful to see him lean into the dad thing.
Well, the meat dress, quite frankly, I didn't think it was going to be as shocking to everyone as it was. But that's just me. I have a sort of eccentric brain, so for me, I was like, Of course this makes sense. I'm showing up to make a statement about "Don't ask, don't tell." I went to the event with soldiers who were discharged from the army because they were out, or they were found out, and to me, if you're willing to give up your life for your country, does it matter what your sexual orientation is or what your gender identity is? For me, it was like, "Flesh is flesh," so that was the intention of the meat dress. For me, that wasn't shocking; it was shocking to the world. And I have to say, it was quite recently-after doing A Star Is Born, and working with Bradley Cooper, and my experience even with winning an Oscar-I sort of just went to myself, "You have a much greater mission on this earth than to freak the hell out of people. Your mission is to give people a form of love through your art that lifts them up."
Isn't he a beautiful father? He's all the way in. We were talking about all the rumors about you guys last year. He said if they had been true, he never would have been able to look you in the eye sitting at that piano.
He's a beautiful father.
He said his Catholic guilt would have never let him be able to look you in the eye at that piano. How did you feel about all of that at the time? You handled it so well.
Absolutely. Absolutely.
You were orchestrating it as a performance to evoke exactly what it did.
Quite frankly, I think the press is very silly. I mean, we made a love story. For me, as a performer and as an actress, of course we wanted people to believe that we were in love. And we wanted people to feel that love at the Oscars. We wanted it to go right through the lens of that camera and to every television that it was being watched on. And we worked hard on it, we worked for days. We mapped the whole thing out-it was orchestrated as a performance.
So well received. You put so much energy into that film, and then it became one of the biggest movies of the year. What was it like when it was all over? How did you say goodbye to the character of Ally and the whole experience?
It did. In truth, when we talked about it, we went, "Well, I guess we did a good job!"
The pain that you had taken to get there. Because when you're raped, particularly repeatedly and at that age, you would have PTSD for years about that.
Well, actually, the character of Ally stayed with me for a long time. I had to relive a lot of my career doing that role. I don't know how you feel when you've acted, but for me, I don't view it as filming a movie. I film it as living the character, and it's a moment in my life, so I relived it all again, and it took a long time for it to go away. When I won the Oscar for "Shallow," I looked at it, and a reporter asked me, "When you look at that Oscar, what do you see?" And I said, "I see a lot of pain." And I wasn't lying in that moment. I was raped when I was 19 years-old, repeatedly. I have been traumatized in a variety of ways by my career over the years from many different things, but I survived, and I've kept going. And when I looked at that Oscar, I saw pain. I don't know that anyone understood it when I said it in the room, but I understood it.
Which is the greatest gift I think we can give each other. I mean, that's why I think Avatar and James Cameron is one of the wizards of our generation: because of that message, "I see you." There is nothing more powerful than that.
I have PTSD. I have chronic pain. Neuropathic pain trauma response is a weekly part of my life. I'm on medication; I have several doctors. This is how I survive. But you know what, Oprah? I kept going, and that kid out there or even that adult out there who's been through so much, I want them to know that they can keep going, and they can survive, and they can win their Oscar. I would also beckon to anyone to try, when they feel ready, to ask for help. And I would beckon to others that if they see someone suffering, to approach them and say, "Hey, I see you. I see that you're suffering, and I'm here. Tell me your story."
Have you also used DBT therapy?
There really isn't. I've actually not opened up very much about this, but I think it's an important thing for people to know and hear: I was a cutter for a long time, and the only way that I was able to stop cutting and self-harming myself was to realize that what I was doing was trying to show people that I was in pain instead of telling them and asking for help. When I realized that telling someone, "Hey, I am having an urge to hurt myself," that defused it. I then had someone next to me saying, "You don't have to show me. Just tell me: What are you feeling right now?" And then I could just tell my story. I say that with a lot of humility and strength; I'm very grateful that I don't do it anymore, and I wish to not glamorize it. One thing that I would suggest to people who struggle with trauma response or self-harm issues or suicidal ideation is actually ice. If you put your hands in a bowl of ice-cold water, it shocks the nervous system, and it brings you back to reality.
I ask because I've had so many girls at my school [the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa] struggle with this.
I actually have a teacher; I take dialectical behavioral therapy. I think that DBT is a wonderful, wonderful way to deal with mental health issues.
It needs to be a much bigger conversation. I want to know, What did you once believe was insurmountable, and in the end, you realized, the solution was so easy?
It's a really strong way of learning how to live, and it's a guide to understanding your emotions.
Is this suffering from your fibromyalgia?
I once believed that there was no way back from my trauma. I really did. I was in physical, mental, and emotional pain. And medicine works, but you need medicine with the therapy for it to really work, because there's a part that you have to do yourself.
I'm familiar with it. I have hundreds of girls, so there's nothing you can tell me I haven't been through or experienced.
It is. Although there are many different theories about fibromyalgia-for me, my fibromyalgia and my trauma response kind of go hand in hand. The fibro for me is a lighter pain; the trauma response is much heavier and actually feels the way I felt after I was dropped on a street corner after I'd been raped repeatedly for months. It's a recurring feeling. So I had a psychotic break at one point, and it was one of the worst things that's ever happened to me. I was brought to the ER to urgent care and they brought in the doctor, a psychiatrist. So I'm just screaming, and I said, "Could somebody bring me a real doctor?" And I didn't understand what was going on, because my whole body went numb; I fully dissociated. I was screaming, and then he calmed me down and gave me medication for when that happens-olanzapine.
This is my last question: What do you believe life is asking of us?
Yeah, so I take methocarbamol, and olanzapine, which is probably the most important-it helped me that day, and that man and all my friends, they saved my life.

I believe life is asking of us to accept the challenge. Accept the challenge of kindness. It's hard in a world the way that we are; we have a very, very grave history. We're in trouble, and we have been before. But I think life asks us amid these challenges, this hatred, this tragedy, this famine, this war, this cruelty: Can you be kind and can you survive?

The vampire Countess of the Hotel Cortez might have bitten the dust on "American Horror Story" last week, but her legacy will live forever -- in gold.

Lady Gaga, nominated for the first time ever for a Golden Globe, took home the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television at the ceremony tonight (Jan 10).

Gaga had big shoes to fill when she took on the role of the Countess, taking the place of AHS grande dame Jessica Lange (who was nominated herself for this same award four years running, and won in 2011.)

But despite being up against some serious competition, including Felicity Huffman, Queen Latifah, Kirsten Dunst, and Sarah Hay, Gaga proved that she's worthy of Lange's mantle in every way when the envelope was opened and her name was called out.

Despite having achieved stardom on an epic scale already as a musician (needless to say, Gaga is no stranger to taking home awards in honor of her work), this one seemed to have special resonance for her, as her reaction upon hearing her name was to start sobbing immediately.

In a breathlessly emotional speech, the actress called her Globes win "one of the greatest moments of my life," before going on to name Ryan Murphy and the rest of the AHS cast in a round of heartfelt thank yous.

"You're all so talented and because of you I was able to shine, I guess," said the star, struggling to hold back tears.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Fashion Icon and controversial singer Lady Gaga, reveals all in an exclusive interview with Vogue Magazine.
Gaga talks about her relationship with her parents, Joe and Cynthia Germanotta, who live on the Upper West Side of New York City.

Before her dad had a heart attack, he was very involved in her career, which began in the piano bars of New York City. Even when she's on the road, she makes sure to speak with them often.
"I obsess about his health," she said about her father. "I'm very Italian. I call him every day. I ask my mother if he's been smoking. They are in their 50s, and they still live in the same apartment on the Upper West Side. Nothing has changed since I have become a star. I am a real family girl. When it comes to love and loyalty, I am very old-fashioned. And I am quite down-to-earth for such an eccentric person."
Talking with CBS' Anderson Cooper in a "60 Minutes" interview set to air on Sunday, the Grammy-winner said that her parents still call her Stefani. So do a few other people - those in her bedroom. "That would freak me out," she says about being called Lady Gaga during intimate times.

Gaga can be forgiven for being wiped out. She has been on tour for three years without a real break, and on the road with the Monster Ball since February 2009.
â€œLetâ€™s call a spade a spade here,â€ she says. â€œI am really fucking tired. I am at that last mile of the marathon when your fingers and your toes are numb and you canâ€™t feel your body, and I am just going on adrenaline. But in the overarching objective of my life, I am really only at mile two. I try to keep that in mind.â€

It is no secret that Lady Gaga has an especially intense relationship with her fans, whom she refers to as her â€œlittle monsters.â€

She has said more than once, â€œI see myself in them.â€ Why is that? â€œI was this really bad, rebellious misfit of a personâ€"I still amâ€"sneaking out, going to clubs, drugs, alcohol, older men, younger men. You imagine it, I did it. I was just a bad kid. And I look at them, and every show thereâ€™s a little more eyeliner, a little more freedom, and a little more â€˜I donâ€™t give a fuck about the bullies at my school.â€™ For some reason, the fans didnâ€™t become more Top 40. They become even more of this cult following. Itâ€™s very strange and exciting.â€

Lady Gaga will perform at Sunday's Grammy Awards. Her new single, Born This Way, is out on Friday.

Gaga plays an ordinary role, Ally, in the film, who has humble beginnings and can be nervous, emotional, struggle with her appearance(e.g. nose) and life before being a star. Gaga even not wear makeup and provides a more authentic and realist performance. The role, to some degree, fits with the ordinary image she intends to present.

# data[].attributes.body
The piece talks about the relationship between Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Gaga was framed as a normal female actress who cannot get rid of the affairs with other male actors. The article involves her private life and then gives a sense of "real Gaga" behind her public persona.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga made their appearance together in the multiple Oscar award-nominated film, A Star is Born, fans haven't been able to stop commenting on the amount of chemistry that the stars have with each other. Cooper and Gaga have a special bond with each other that started from the first time the actor heard Gaga sing, and ever since, the two have maintained an incredibly close friendship both on and offscreen.

Ahead of their performance of "Shallow"at the 91st Annual Academy Awards, here is a look back at Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's relationship since they met for the first time.

Cooper met Gaga for the first time at a benefit event.

Gaga and Cooper met back in Los Angeles in April 2016 for the first time when she performed at the opening of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy at Sean Parker's house. Two years later at the 2018 Toronto Film Festival, Cooper told the festival's attendees that "she leveled the entire room when she came out. It was insane."

Gaga performed Édith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose" at the benefit concert, and it was the performance that inspired him to cast Gaga for the role of Ally and write the song into the movie. Before Gaga's fateful performance that night, Cooper didn't have much knowledge of who Gaga was as an artist. "I was at a cancer benefit with my mother. I really did not know Lady Gaga's music," he told "They had a surprise musical guest, and Stefani came out with her hair slicked back."

Cooper was so blown away by Gaga's performance that the very next day, he requested to formally meet her to discuss the opportunity of working with each other. "I called her agent the next day and said, 'Can I go to her house and meet her right away?' I drove to Malibu, and we sat on her porch, and the next thing I know, I'm eating spaghetti and meatballs," Cooper told .

Gaga prepared dinner for Cooper at her house.

Cooper went to Gaga's house for the spaghetti and meatball dinner and then learned that they had more in common than he initially thought. The food played a large part in their working relationship because they connected off of their shared backgrounds. "After 10 minutes we were eating homemade food that she cooked-I love to eat-and that was actually a huge bond that we both came from East Coast Italian-American families," he explained at the Venice Film Festival Conference in 2018. "So we had a real synchronicity on that level from our upbringing."

At the same festival, Gaga said that she and Cooper had an instant spark from that first meeting. "From the moment he came to my home and I opened the door and we locked eyes, I felt an instant connection with him." After the pasta dinner, she and Cooper went over to her piano where they sang a duet of Credence Clearwater Revival's "Midnight Special." After hearing how amazing they sounded singing together, Gaga couldn't deny the chemistry she had with Cooper. "I looked at him and said, 'Bradley, your voice is incredible. You have a real voice.' He sings from his soul," she said.

Cooper had to fight for Gaga to play Ally in A Star is Born.

that while Cooper was convinced that Gaga would make a perfect Ally, Warner Bros., who was funding the film, needed to do multiple screen tests to prove that Gaga was good enough for the part.

"She was completely illuminated by the sun. So charismatic," Cooper told the The New York Times Magazine back in October 2018. "I thought inside my head, Oh, gosh. If she is like this on film, if that's the worst case scenario that she's this present on film, the movie will work.'" He also that "No actress can do musically what I needed Stefani to do in 42 days of shooting: I needed plutonium. And the plutonium in A Star Is Born is Stefani's voice."

Gaga, who always wanted to continue developing her acting, admitted to hearing about Cooper's project before she was formally asked. On an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, she revealed that accepting the offer took "no convincing" on her part.

Gaga and Cooper began to hang out with each other while filming.

After it was confirmed that Gaga would star in Cooper's new project, the pair was pictured out and about together riding on Cooper's motorcycle. Gaga looked much more relaxed than her stage persona, with minimal makeup and a simple outfit for their night-time bike ride. This ultimately was in preparation for her role as Ally, who also kept her look relatively low-key.

Gaga and Cooper attended the 75th Annual Venice Film Festival together.

While at the festival, Gaga and Cooper opened up about their experience filming the movie together at a press conference and had nothing but positive things to say about their working relationship.

"For someone who doesn't feel safe all the time, he made me feel so free," Gaga said. "At the same time, he's so laser-focused while he's working. I got to live my dream. There could be 100 people in the room and 99 don't believe in you, just one-and it was him." Gaga felt so strongly about Cooper's faith in her abilities, that she repeated this sentiment multiple times across the movie's press tour, turning it into a viral meme in the process.

"I don't know that I've ever had a closer artistic relationship than I have had with Bradley, a closer exchange," she later said at the Toronto Film Festival conference. "It meant a lot to me, and I think to both of us, that at the beginning of making this film we kind of shook hands literally and he said, 'You are an actress.' I said to him, 'You are a musician.'"

Cooper confessed his love for Gaga as a friend.

"I love her so deeply," he told TIME Magazine in September 2018. "It's because we were at our most vulnerable together."

Gaga and Cooper attended the 2019 SAG Awards, but with separate dates.

Gaga and Cooper both attended the 25th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards with their own dates: Cooper with his mother, Gloria Campano, and Gaga with her then fiancé, Christian Carino. Cooper is currently dating model Irina Shayk, who he shares one child with.

Cooper made a surprise appearance at Gaga's Las Vegas residency.

To close out one of Gaga's ENIGMA residency performances in Las Vegas, Cooper joined the singer for a live-rendition of A Star Is Born's chart-topping hit, "Shallow." The video starts out with the co-stars sharing a loving embrace at the beginning of the song. The chemistry between the two stars was almost tangible-Gaga is seen clasping her hands together and kneeling on the ground when Cooper begins to sing. Cooper locked eyes with Gaga multiple times as she began to sing Ally's part and ended their performance sitting with Gaga on her piano bench with his arm wrapped around her waist.

Gaga got a tattoo inspired by her and Cooper's film.

To celebrate her success from A Star is Born, Gaga got a large contour line drawing tattoo of a rose accompanied by the words "La Vie En Rose," a nod to the song by Édith Piaf that Gaga sings in the movie when she and Cooper's character, Jackson Maine, meet for the first time. Gaga also got a second tattoo of music notes on her arm that spell out G-A-G-A.

Gaga gave a heartfelt thank you to Cooper in her Grammys speech.

Gaga had a very successful night at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards, taking home two awards for "Shallow." When accepting the award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Gaga took a moment to shout out Cooper, who was at the BAFTAs that same night. "I wish Bradley was here with me right now. I know he wants to be here. Bradley, I loved singing this song with you."

Gaga and Cooper will be performing at the Oscars.

Gaga and Cooper will take to the stage of the 91st Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles on February 24 to perform "Shallow." A Star is Born is nominated in eight different categories, with "Shallow" up for Best Original Song. Cooper and Gaga are respectively nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress. The awards ceremony will take place live from the Los Angeles' Dolby Theater and will air at 8 P.M. ET/ 5 P.M. PT.

Gaga's first appearance on the reality TV show was in drag. The act appears to be instrumental in shaping her androgynous identity. In the meanwhile, the dress-up demonstrates that she is a representative of the queer community and continues to express her support to this minority group, which positioned her to be outside the mainstream.

Gaga claimed that she was angry with the military’s anti-LGBT policy, so she wore this famous meat dress to express anger and resistance. This feeds into her image as a rebel who questions the sexual norm and was brave to give voice.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
L ady Gaga's meat dress should not be interpreted as a message against animal rights, the pop star told Ellen DeGeneres Sunday night (Sept. 12) immediately after the MTV VMAs, where she wore the fleshy outfit to accept video of the year.

Gaga explained in the interview, which will air on DeGeneres' daytime show this afternoon, that the meat dress was tied to her protest against the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy and was a statement against the governmental restrictions placed on the rights of gay soldiers.

"It's certainly no disrespect to anyone that's vegan or vegetarian," Gaga told DeGeneres, who herself is vegan, in a post-show interview. "As you know, I'm the most judgment-free human being on the Earth. It has many interpretations, but for me this evening it's [saying], 'If we don't stand up for what we believe in, if we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're going to have as much rights as the meat on our bones.' "

Gaga then held up her recent cover for Vogues Hommes Japan, on which she wears a "meat bikini," and said, "I am not a piece of meat."

DeGeneres ended the segment by presenting Gaga with a two-piece and skirt made out of kale, leafy greens and other vegetables, for "the next time you want to pose in a bikini somewhere."

As they did when Gaga's Vogue Japan cover image leaked, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) released a statement regarding Gaga's meat dress, saying, "Wearing a dress made out cuts of dead cows is offensive enough to bring comment, but someone should whisper in her ear that there are more people who are upset by butchery than who are impressed by it -- and that means a lot of young people will not be buying her records if she keeps this stuff up."

Gaga won a total of eight VMAs Sunday night, including video of the year, best female video and best pop video.

Arguably, Gaga promotes oddness, difference and rebel spirit by wearing monstrous, high-fashion costumes in the public appearance.

1.7 Website article: huge success of the film's soundtrack (2018)

# data[].attributes.body
The piece positively comments that the soundtrack of "A Star Is Born" is a successful release, which passed an important sales milestone. The commentary cemented Gaga's talented, successful image.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This week, the A Star Is Born soundtrack holds at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 , earning yet another frame close to the top of the tally. The popular record was back at No. 1 just a few turns ago, when it returned to the throne on the all-genre albums listing after months away thanks to a surge in popularity after both the Grammys and Oscars. The soundtrack has turned out to be a surprisingly successful release, and it has just passed an important, and somewhat rare, sales milestone.

The Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper-fronted collection of original material has just blown past one million pure sales, which is something very few albums are able to do these days. According to Nielsen Music, A Star Is Born has now sold 1,002,611 copies in the U.S. alone, making it the rare recent release that is able to actually sell over a million copies. Many titles are able to shift at least a million units, and sometimes several million, when including streams, but as sales drop every year, even some of the biggest figures have a difficult time making it to seven digits.

-four times as many actual copies as A Star Is Born is the bestselling album yet again this week, which the title manages frequently, even though it's already been out for months. This time around, it sold just under 16,000 copies this week's No. 1 album, Juice WRLD's Death Race for Love , which is pushed to the top thanks to huge streaming numbers.

Amazingly, A Star Is Born has been able to sell over one million copies in under half a year, which shows how incredibly well it has performed week after week. The title has spent four frames at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and in the months since it first dropped, it hasn't fallen far from the peak position.

A Star Is Born and its singles first enjoyed excellent and noteworthy rides on various charts when the movie was released last fall to commercial and critical success. The intense promotional campaign kept the music on people's minds, and millions either purchased a copy of the album, bought some of the singles, or streamed it repetitively. Just as it looked like the tunes penned specifically for the film might begin to finally drift away, Gaga and Cooper began to win awards for their work, which breathed new life into the entire collection.

First, the two won a Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for duetting on "Shallow," while the songwriters (including Gaga, but not Cooper) also took home Best Song Written for Visual Media in the same evening. A few days later, the pop superstar and her co-writers took home the Academy Award for Best Original Song as well. Those high-profile wins would probably be enough to spur a huge sales bump, but performances of "Shallow" at both the Grammys and the Oscars (with the latter being perhaps the best moment of the entire evening) brought the ballad to the attention of millions who might not otherwise have heard it...and that boosted sales yet again.

With award season in the rearview mirror and Gaga and Cooper moving on to other projects, promotion of the soundtrack has stalled, but that doesn't mean it's about to vanish. It's likely that A Star Is Born will hold on for weeks, if not months, selling well every frame. How much longer will it live inside the top 10? That's tough to tell, but with one million copies already sold, the record must be considered a huge win for all involved by every metric.

It's hard to believe that it has been over a decade since Lady Gaga and "Just Dance" appeared on the scene. For most people, it seemed like the young singer came out of nowhere. From the beginning, Gaga was someone who stood out from the crowd. Her clothes were different, her songs were different, and what she had to say was different.

It's hard to imagine the pop world would be the same today if it weren't for Lady Gaga. Her activism, her voice, and her heart have changed the music world over the past decade. And naturally, Gaga has seen success over this time. She's gained critical success and won a few Grammys along the way.

It wasn't always 'Lady Gaga'

Before she was Gaga, the woman we now know as Lady Gaga was known as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. It was under this name that she started her career. Prior to starting her solo career, Germanotta formed a band with her friends, the Stefani Germanotta Band (SGB). She began taking on the name Gaga after her friends called her by it after she fell in love with the Queen song "Radio Ga Ga."

After dropping out of NYU and starting SGB, Gaga had a short-lived contract with Def Jam Records. Once she left Def Jam, Gaga signed with Sony under a songwriting contract. There she wrote songs for the likes of Britney Spears and The Pussycat Dolls.

After years of hard work, Lady Gaga got the break she was looking for. "Just Dance" became a major hit and was quickly followed up by "Poker Face" and "Paparazzi." Life after "Fame" would never be the same for the 22-year-old New Yorker.

How many Grammys has Lady Gaga won?

Lady Gaga has had a lot of hits, including seven number ones and 12 top ten hits. So it probably comes as no surprise that the singer has won quite a few awards over the course of her career. In all, Lady Gaga has won nine Grammy awards and been nominated 27 times. She has wins for best album, best performance, and best writing.

Gaga won her first Grammy in 2010. That year she won two Grammys, one for "Best Dance Recording," and one for "Best Electronic/Dance Album." Her most recent wins came in 2019 for "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance," "Best Song Written for Visual Media," and "Best Solo Pop Performance." This year the singer is nominated for three more Grammys.

In addition to her Grammys has won several VMAs, a BET award, and a BAFTA. And those are just the awards that she has won for her singing career.

Gaga can act too

Lady Gaga isn't just a top-selling singer, she's also been widely praised for her acting chops as well. In fact, Lady Gaga appeared on The Sopranos before she even released her first album. In 2001, the then 15-year-old had a small part on the show as "Girl at swimming pool #2."

But it wasn't Gaga's role as an unnamed girl that got Hollywood's attention. That role would come nearly two decades later. In 2019, Gaga received a Grammy nomination for her 2018 performance in A Star is Born. The movie received critical and audience praise and showed the world just how talented the singer/actress really is.

On top of her Grammys and Oscar, the singer has also won two Golden Globe awards including one for best actress for her role in American Horror Story.

She's also been nominated for an Emmy award three times. It's safe to say if this singing thing doesn't work out, Gaga has a pretty good shot at making it in the acting world.
