2009年5月、有力な音楽雑誌『ローリング・ストーン』の毎年恒例となっているHOTリスト号の同誌6月号の表紙をセミ・ヌード姿で飾った[32]。この時ガガは同誌のインタビューの中でバイ・セクシャルであることを告白した[33][34]。
ガガは6つのタトゥーをいれていることが確認されている[51]。
手首にあるピースシンボルのタトゥーはイギリスのミュージシャン、ジョン・レノンに影響を受けたもので、ガガは『ガーディアン』において彼を「英雄」だと語っている[52]。
左腕には詩人のライナー・マリア・リルケの詩が引用されている。またガガはリルケを「一番好きな哲学者」と評している[53]。

わがままお嬢だからこそ、ガガなんだろうな？ お嬢じゃないと、これほど派手で自由なパフォーマンスはムリ！
ガガはイタリア系アメリカ人の父ジョセフと同じくイタリア系のシンシア・ジャーマノッタの最年長の子供としてニューヨーク州ヨンカーズに生まれる。
父はインターネット企業の実業家[9][10][11]。カトリック系の私立学校、Convent of the Sacred Heartに通う[12]。同学校はヒルトン姉妹（パリスとニッキー）も在籍していたお嬢様学校だが[13]、パリスとは6歳年が離れており学年が違う為、学校の廊下で見かけたことしかないという[14]。
4歳で楽譜なしでピアノが演奏できるようになり、13歳で初のピアノ・バラードを作曲した。
14歳からニューヨークのクラブでパフォーマンスを開始し、17歳で世界で20人しか早期入学が許されないニューヨークにあるティッシュ・スクール・オブ・アートに入学する。そこで彼女は音楽を本格的に学び、エッセイと分析的書類を書くことによって作詞作曲技術を改善した。後に音楽活動に集中するために学校から退いた[15]。
パパ拉致娘の手？
ガガは19歳の時、デフ・ジャム・レコーディングスとの間で契約を結んだ。
同じころ、親元を離れストリップクラブで働き出す。このことは特に隠さず、「ストリップクラブで働いていたの。私のようなリッチなイタリア系の家庭の出では珍しいことよね」とストリッパーとして生計を立てていたことを明かしている。ストリッパーとして人気があったようで、ステージでヘアスプレイに火を付けて、狂ったように踊ったという。
家族の助けなしに生活することで自由を実感したと語るが、家族は認めてくれなかった[16]。
その他、ドラァグ・クイーンとゴーゴーダンサーとパフォーマンスを行うためにクラブに出入りしており、このことを知った父は大変なショックを受け、ガガ本人も「あのとき、2、3ヶ月の間父は私を直視することが出来なかった」と認めている[12]。

Lady Gaga's Father Saved Her From Drug Addiction
September 8, 2009 - Lady GaGa

Lady Gaga says her father saved her from drug addiction. The "Poker Face" singer used to spend hours taking cocaine alone in her New York apartment, until her dad Joseph Germanotta ordered her to get clean.
The pop star - real name Stefani Germanotta - toldShockHound: "My father is a really powerful man, a telecom guy. So he looked at me one day and said, 'You're f***ing up, kid.' And I looked at him and thought, 'How does he know that I'm high right now?'"
"And he never said a word about the drugs, not one word. But he said, 'I just wanna tell you that anyone you meet while you're like this, and any friend that you make in the future while you are with this thing, you will lose.' And we never talked about it again."
Gaga began regularly using the illegal substance after she dropped out of a music course at New York University in 2005.
The singer's friends also became worried about her erratic behavior and begged her to leave her apartment and spend time with them.
She added: "My cocaine soundtrack was The Cure. I loved all their music, but I listened to this one song on repeat while I did bags and bags of cocaine."
"I didn't think there was anything wrong with me until my friends came over and said, 'Are you doing this alone?' 'Um, yes. Me and my mirror.'"
"But I was able to stop, because I was panicking more on the drugs than I was sober. So I'm fine now."
The blonde singer still likes to party and confessed her record label often beg her to tone down her outrageous behavior.
She explained: "I can drink, and I'm not going to say that I don't party. But it's not everyday, and it's no longer a tool for my creativity."
"The label gets mad at me for talking about it - they say, 'We don't want people to think that you're not a pop star.' But I am a pop star. I'm a pop star with a story!"

Lady GaGa "Flattered" That Fans Have Tattoos Of Her
July 9, 2009 - Lady GaGa
Lady GaGa Photos (306)
Lady Gaga is "flattered" fans choose to have tattoos of her. The "Poker Face" singer - who is known for her outrageous fashion choices and skimpy outfits - is delighted many of her admirers are prepared to permanently ink their skin to show their devotion to her.
She said: "This fan got this amazing tattoo on his arm, this massive Lady Gaga tattoo that was very intricate and very detailed and in it I was wearing this crystal outfit - but this thing was like an art piece. I was so flattered because tattoos are for life."
Lady GaGa is confident she is one of only a handful of stars whose fans are prepared to put themselves through physical pain.
She explained: "I should imagine that most pop stars don't experience that kind of gesture. I mean, it was a really big tattoo all the way down his arm. Pretty rock 'n' roll!"
The 23-year-old outrageous singer - who recently posed topless for a photo shoot in V Magazine - has also vowed to calm down her party girl lifestyle.
She said: "I'm not a go-out-and-party girl. I'm actually taking every minute I have to myself to write music and be in the studio right now."

Japanese Lady Gaga Fans
Posted on August 9, 2009 in: Tokyo Fashion News|Jump To Comments
Last night was the second night of Summer Sonic 2009 in Tokyo, Japan. There were a lot of great bands, but the act with the biggest hype was not the listed headliners Linkin Park or The Specials – not even close. The real star last night was Lady Gaga, or just “Gaga” as she’s known to her Japanese fans. Gaga’s dedicated fans started pushing their way to the front of the Sonic Stage several bands – and many hours – before Lady Gaga was scheduled to appear.
How could you tell that these girls (and guys too) were Lady Gaga fans and not CSS or Claxons fans up in the very very front row? Let us show you how…

正体不明だな、笑い、おそらく、新人類、ニュータイプ・・・
Dressed in a hot-pink, Swarovski-studded Versace cocktail dress, Lady GaGa is throwing some shapes in the mirror. She has won the battle of the lip gloss (her mouth is a deep red stain, as opposed to the pink preferred by the stylist, which was deemed, in her flat Manhattan drawl, “too Barbie, too pop. I mean, I love pop, but . . .” A neon-orange shade is also rejected as “too 1980s”, while the cabernet red, everybody agrees, is very “chic”). Now the in-yer-face, 22-year-old pop sensation is ready for her close-up.
Having already stormed both the charts and the tabloids this year in her assault on the UK music scene, Lady GaGa has been throwing her fluoro-tanned weight around all afternoon, arguing the toss over every tweak of her hair and make-up. Nobody seems to mind — in fact, it’s quite refreshing to meet a pop star who says things like, “In this time of recession, people love this hair — it’s so nostalgic!” when demanding a James Dean quiff; or, deadpanning, “I don’t get body anxiety — I don’t eat,” as she prances naked around the studio.
Even if you don’t know her current hits — Just Dance and Poker Face (which are, like, beyond catchy) — you know her look. She’s been papped in every airport, nightspot and studio imaginable this year in her trademark panties, vintage shades, shoulder pads and bullet-proof blonde bangs (dyed because, as a brunette, she kept being mistaken for Any Winehouse). You can imagine a million mini GaGas all over clubland come summer.
GaGa’s PA and former room-mate of four years, Jennifer, is surveying the scene closely. According to her, we are looking at “the next Madonna — I’m telling you. The determination, that knowledge of who you are, what you want and what the people want. That’s her”.
Born and raised in New York by an internet entrepreneur and his business-partner wife, Lady GaGa (real name Stefani Joanne Germanotta) had been hustling gigs on the underground club scene for three years before she finally won a place, aged 17, at the city’s esteemed Tisch School of the Arts. By her 20th birthday, she’d scored a record deal and was writing songs for Britney Spears and the Pussycat Dolls — two years later and her second single has reached No 1 in six countries. Now, fresh from her performance at the Brits with Pet Shop Boys, she is about to embark on her own headline tour.
The Lady GaGa show is compelling. A warm, charming, intelligent chatterbox, she is also a ridiculous show-off. There’s a story about the time that little girl GaGa greeted a new babysitter completely starkers, and it’s a trick she’s still pulling now, stripping off to change outfits as if it’s a dance routine. Her body is petite, soft and womanly, without a scrap of cellulite, and the tan so luminous that I have to ask where she gets it done. “In London, I see James at St Tropez,” she says, adding with a flutter of her 3in false lashes, “and yes, he’s seen my vagina.”
She writes and performs her own songs and claims to have “an artistic intuition about what’s coming next”, so the Madonna comparison is obviously one she gets a lot. “I guess there are a couple of things we innately have in common,” she drawls. “We’re both Italian-American women, we both started out in the New York underground scene — and we both became famous when we dyed our hair blonde.” But seriously, because this is one lady who takes her art very seriously, “I think what Madonna and I share is that we’re both fearless, we both have a lot of nerve”. Her influences range from Warhol to Bowie to Versace. “I appreciate any fashion label that is emblematic of a lifestyle. When I see Versace ads, it’s a whole way of living. Karl Lagerfeld? Brilliant.”
Arriving at the studio today in vintage Chanel worn with “future Fifties” hair and a bra, she describes her style as “a commentary on what it means to be a lady”. Her love of fashion came from her mother, who was “always very well kept and beautiful. She wore Ferragamo, Valentino, Paloma Picasso. Her taste is absolutely classic Italian”.
School did little to discourage her — she went to the Convent of the Sacred Heart School, in Manhattan, the same high school as Nicky and Paris Hilton, where the prom was “like a Ralph Lauren runway. There were some quite privileged young ladies in attendance”. It’s unlikely that GaGa was the prettiest or the most popular girl in class. Her oversized features suggest something of an ugly duckling transformation, while her intelligence would have alienated the likes of the Hiltons. Cue the “artsy, musical-theatre, nerdy girl who got good grades”, who learnt the tricks of self-reinvention, and a look that veered between “a bit too sexy and a bit strange. My girlfriends used to tell me that no matter what I was wearing, even zipped up to my neck in a parka, I looked naked”.
For somebody with such a liberal use of the sexual lexicon (she talks about celebrities “masturbating” by changing their image all the time, and describes performing as “like an orgasm”), GaGa is resolutely tight-lipped when it comes to the subject of boys. When quizzed about the men in her life (she was recently photographed out on the town with Mark Ronson, but insists he is just a “dear friend”), she allows a long pause before eventually flipping the question: “Who would you pair me with?”
It’s not as if she has anything to hide (she lets it all hang out in every other area), but GaGa won’t trade in tabloid fodder. I ask about her supposed feud with Christina Aguilera, and she simply states how much she admires Christina as an artist. What she will tell me is that her ex, Dada (together, were they DaGa?), is now one of her chief collaborators in the Haus of GaGa, the hand-picked creative team, including friends from art school, behind her costumes, stage sets and performances. “Dada is quite brilliant and we were crazy lovers, but I stopped it when we discovered what a strong creative connection we had. I didn’t want it just to be about careless love.”
She has said before that she has “decided to marry my art”, and the animal sounds emitted when GaGa sees the results of today’s shoot (“Oh my G-AAA-d!”) suggest that her work gives her all the satisfaction she needs. But when she later jokes that she will “die alone, surrounded by all my stage props and sketches”, there’s an edge to her voice. Perhaps, as Madonna would no doubt testify, this is the price you pay for superstardom.
When I ask how it feels to have become an icon overnight, GaGa scoffs at the suggestion. “People use that word so carelessly. I mean, don’t just freakin’ hand it to me on a plate because I dress cool. Make me earn it!”
Fixing me with a provocative stare from beneath the long lashes, she says: “I’m not going through the motions, you know. I don’t come here to have my hair and make-up done, take a few pictures and ask when my lunch is going to arrive. That’s not who I am.
“Every minute of this,” she continues, gesturing at the creative process unfolding around her, “is a completely brilliant and wonderful moment that I cherish. And it’s like, now you have everybody watching, GaGa, you’d better be f***ing great.”
