Lady Gagais one of few superstars to admit to dabbling in drugs. Last year, the pop avant gardist raised eyebrows when she divulged an occasional cocaine habit toVanity Fair, saying, "I won't lie; It's occasional. And when I say occasional, I mean maybe a couple of times a year." But in an interview withHoward Sternon Monday, Gaga seemed to have changed her tune about narcotics—at least she's wary of any of her fans thinking her admission was an endorsement, anyway. When discussing her days waiting tables in New York,Gaga admittedto finding comfort in drugs, but warned, "To any little sweethearts that are listening ... don't touch [cocaine], it's the devil." She added, "I think that I was lonely and there was something about the drug that made me feel like I had a friend. And I regret every line that I ever did." Gaga eventually curtailed Stern's foray into sex and drugs talk, saying, "I've got a lot of young fans and I love you and I respect your show and I know you want to talk about sex and cocaine—but honestly you should wait as long as you possibly can to have sex... I really think that kids have sex way too young."
Lady Gagalikes to put it all out there on the table, and by "table" we mean "Twitter." The singer has no problem spilling her deepest emotions for all 11 million followers. In fact, she's told her fans she's in tears 16 different times in the last 6 months!Gaga's sob sessions have stemmed from hearing her latest single on the radio to laughing so hard she cried while working with Justin Timberlake on Saturday Night Live.At this point, we hope she carries Kleenex with her at all times. Okay, we know what you're thinking: It's super easy to write about crying on Twitter without actually having to produce the waterworks. But, there's video proof of her teary outbursts! There's a number of videos of her sobbing onstage at concerts, and she even gets choked up backstage in her HBO documentary. The woman's a faucet. Read and watch for yourself: Behold!

It seems likeLady Gagahas been on tour for about as long as she's been famous — and she apparently prefers it that way, as sherecently toldRolling Stone,"I don't feel alive unless I'm performing, and that's just the way I was born." So it's no big surprise that Gaga is already planning her return to the road, having just wrapped up her extensive international Monster Ball Tour. When asked about her return to the stage, Gaga toldMTV UK,"I do have plans, it will be at the top of next year but I have to begin rehearsing by the end of this year. That's what I do. It's time for another marathon." She explained that there's no time for a break, saying, "If you're running a marathon, and you're about to cross the finish line, you don't stop and say, 'Oh, once I cross it, it's over.' You run as fast as you can to get there as quickly as you can." "So I guess, for me, it's about how many marathons I can run? how many dreams can I make true? Now, not for me, but for my fans." Unfortunately, it doesn't seem likely that Gaga will be joined on future tours with herBorn This WaycollaboratorClarence Clemons, the legendary saxophonist for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. This week, it was confirmed that he'd suffered a stroke at home in Florida on Sunday. On Monday, Gagatweeted to her fans,"Little monsters, my very close friend +musician on The Edge of Glory, Clarence Clemons is very sick. Can we all make some get well videos?"
Lady Gaga has confessed that she is obsessed with cooking shows and that she had acquired her cooking skills by just by watching those shows. "When I get time off, I like to watch cooking shows, I'm really obsessed with them. I'm a really good cook now, just from watching those shows. My specialty is Italian," Contactmusic quoted the singer telling the 'Heat' magazine: And despite her busy lifestyle, the 'Judas' singer also revealed that she loves to catch up with her childhood friends over good food and wine. "I went to an all-girls' school, so the few of my friends that I've kept since high school, we'll all just get together and cook and drink six or seven bottles of red wine and just talk about life and chill out," Gaga added.
If you haven't gone red yet, you're clearly missing out on Hollywood's hottest—and reddest—trend.Lady Gagais the latest in a slew of celebrities to go to the red side. Although, unlike the others, this one was semi-permanent, fleeting even. For the latest cover ofRolling Stone, the superstar dyed her locks a pale crimson and brought back her famous hair bow. Of course, she's scantily clad in a lace bra, but compared to her past few covers, it's downright normal! We're digging the look and wouldn't mind it sticking around for a while. Hands up if you feel the same!
Lady GagaandBeyonce's 10-minute "Telephone" music video made huge headlines back in 2010, but Gaga can't even bring herself to watch it anymore. That was SO last year. She said: "I can't even watch the 'Telephone' video, I hate it so much. Beyonce and I are great together. But there are so many f***ing idea in that video and all I see in that video is my brain throbbing with ideas and I wish I had edited it myself a little bit more." Gaga's now loving the "Alejandro" video, even though she knows it's not a fan favorite. She told Britain'sTime Outmagazine: "It's funny because I know a lot of kids didn't like the 'Alejandro' video, but that was my favorite of all my videos. 'Alejandro' isn't a busy video. But maybe that's my own monster. People love the chaos in my brain, but I'm terrified of it."
Leave it toLady Gagato hit No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 without really trying. A few weeks ago, Gaga released the anthemic number "The Edge of Glory" as a promotional single to pump fans up over the release ofBorn This Way, her second full-length studio album. But the track proved so popular the powers that be released it as the third official single from the album—and it subsequently debuted in the top 3. Because Gaga's got it like that. So what is it about this track that people love so much? Well, "Edge of Glory" epitomizes the Springsteen-esque power balladry that pops up all overBorn This Way, with a familiar belt-it-out chorus that'll find favor with anyone who loved listening to the radio late '80s. It even features a saxophone solo by Clarence Clemons of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. It's also one of Gaga's personal favorites on the album. In an interview with Google, she explained, "[My] grandpa died about five months ago, and my dad and I were going to say goodbye to him at the hospital, and I got out a big thing of agave tequila and my dad sat next to me at the piano and we started doing shots back and forth, and I wrote 'Edge of Glory' on the piano and my dad and I cried. The song's about your last moment on Earth, the moment of truth, the edge of glory is that moment right before you leave earth."
