[artist id="3061469"]Lady Gaga[/artist] said she raised more than $500,000 for Haiti relief on Sunday night at her show in New York. On her final U.S. tour date on the first leg of the Monster Ball Tour, the singer announced Tuesday that her "Gaga for Haiti" day on Sunday netted half a million dollars for relief efforts in Haiti.

"On 'Gaga for Haiti' day, in just 24 hours, with very minimal marketing and planning, all the little monsters all over the world made over half a million dollars for Haiti relief," she said in the middle of the song "Speechless" during a show on Tuesday night at Purdue University. The gig was a makeup date for a show she canceled earlier this month due to exhaustion. "I know [merchandise firm] Bravado fell off their chair. ... They couldn't believe it. So let's sing along for Haiti right now so that they can hear us."

Gaga's label could not confirm the figures as of press time, and it wasn't clear if the figure she quoted from stage also included sales of her special limited-edition Haiti T-shirt.

Gaga pledged to donate all proceeds from her final show at New York's Radio City Music Hall on Sunday to Haiti relief, as well as all merchandise sales that day. The singer was in good company, as Radiohead also played a Haiti benefit show on Sunday night in Los Angeles, raising $573,000 for Oxfam International's Haitian relief efforts.

Gaga also announced during the show that's she's in the midst of rehearsing for the video shoot for her next single "Telephone" (featuring Beyoncé) as well as her Grammy performance on Sunday night.

The Gaga and Radiohead figures come on top of the more than $61 million raised on Friday night during the "Hope for Haiti Now" event, which set new records for donations made by the general public to a disaster-relief telethon. In addition, the Hope for Haiti Now album made history Wednesday (January 27) when it became the first digital-only LP to debut at #1 on the Billboard albums chart.

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.

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.”

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."

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.

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'

Lady Gaga | John Lamparski/Getty Images

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.

# data[].attributes.body
The piece positively comments that the soundtrack "A Star Is Born" is a successful release, which passed an important sales milestone. The critical commentary confirms 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.

Gaga talks about mental health and the importance of kindness for her and for the world. She still stands by the side of kindness.

# 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?

Gaga dedicated to philanthropy helps her build a kind, considerate, and generous image. The image is also coherent and reinforced by different forms of media representations.

In this case, the credible  persona might claim an 'authenticity'. The reason is that being a celebrity owns a moral justification in international, humanitarian sense (*wk5.2). Therefore, the persona may not be seen as an artificial performance and give a sense of "real person" instead(*wk2).

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.

Joanne(2016) is a unique record because it highly relates to Gaga's personal life, which could mark the beginning of Gaga’s inclination to showcase who she really is and what she really looks like.

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.

Since 2016, it has been found that Lady Gaga seems to present a more real persona as an ordinary person. She changed the look (albeit temporarily) and was devoted to engaging audience to her private sphere, which is totally different from the star image in the past. The ordinary image could be the most authentic part in her star identity.

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.

Gaga is obsessed with performing Yüyi, a fictional mermaid, such as in the performance "Yoü and I" in Sydney, Australia as a part of the Gaga Live at Sydney Monster Hall.

The role of Yüyi was less fully developed and more like an extension of the Gaga persona(*1.6.3). There is a social request for knowing the real gender in service of knowing the real self (*1.6.3). Therefore, the character can be seen as a response to the public confusion caused by Gaga's gender representation. It is difficult to identify Yüyi's physical sex for she has mermaid's tail, so it also seems hard to identify Gaga's gender. In this regard, Gaga manages to maintain an identity as "part man" and "part woman”.
