Lady Gaga On Sex, Fame, Drugs, and Her Fans
Lady Gaga tells Vanity Fair contributing editor Lisa Robinson that she tries to avoid having sex because she is afraid of depleting her creative energy—“I have this weird thing that if I sleep with someone they’re going to take my creativity from me through my vagina.”
She also says that she doesn’t trust anybody and doesn’t know if she ever will. Gaga tells Robinson, “I’m perpetually lonely. I’m lonely when I’m in relationships. It’s my condition as an artist.” Regarding men, she says, “I’m drawn to bad romances. And my song [“Bad Romance”] is about whether I go after those [sort of relationships] or if they find me. I’m quite celibate now; I don’t really get time to meet anyone.”
Gaga talks candidly about her drug use and recalls her ultimate low point: “I was completely mental and had just been through so much.” She had been using drugs, and is quick to tell Robinson that, if she writes about that incident, “I do not want my fans to ever emulate that or be that way. I don’t want my fans to think they have to be that way to be great. It’s in the past. It was a low point, and it led to disaster.”
Instead of rehab, though, when disaster struck, Gaga “went home.” She tells Robinson, “All I will say is I hit rock bottom, and it was enough to send a person over the edge. My mother knew the truth about that day, and she screamed so loud on the other end of the phone, I’ll never forget it. And she said, ‘I’m coming to get you.’” Gaga says they went to her 82-year-old grandmother’s house in West Virginia. “I cried. I told her I thought my life was over and I have no hope and I’ve worked so hard, and I knew I was good. What would I do now? And she said, ‘I’m gonna let you cry for a few more hours. And then after those few hours are up, you’re gonna stop crying, you’re gonna pick yourself up, you’re gonna go back to New York, and you’re gonna kick some ass.’”
Gaga also responds to the brouhaha surrounding her appearance at the Yankees game, and what she wore to her sister’s graduation; shows Robinson the contents of her bag; explains her devotion to her Little Monsters; and more.
The September issue of Vanity Fair will be available on newsstands in New York and L.A. on Wednesday, August 4, and nationally and on the iPad on Tuesday, August 10.

Lady Gaga slams immigration law
Pop superstar Lady Gaga slammed Arizona's controversial new immigration law and urged her fans to protest the measure at two points during her sold-out concert in Phoenix.
She said the law, part of which went into effect on July 29, had created "a state of emergency" in Arizona.
But she told her audience on Saturday, July 31 that she had decided not to boycott the state, as several other national touring acts, including Kanye West, Rage Against the Machine, Sonic Youth and Conor Oberst, have done.
About halfway through her concert at US Airways Center, Lady Gaga told the crowd, "I got a call from some big rappers and big rockers. They said, 'We'd like you to boycott Arizona because of SB 1070 (a law aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration into the state).
"I told them, 'Do you really think that us . . . pop stars are going to shut down the state?"
She added, "We have to be active. We have to actively protest. . . . I will not cancel my show. I will hold you, and we will hold each other, and we will protest this state."
Many of the 14,000-plus fans in attendance applauded loudly during the star's rants, which came during the 100th show of her global Monster Ball Tour.
Later in the concert, Lady Gaga, who came to Arizona two days before her concert for some time off, said, "I met a boy today who is suffering. . . . He told me his house was raided because of a parking ticket or something.
"They took his brother, and now he is in Mexico . . . It's really (unfair), and it's really disgusting. I think it's important that people understand that it's a state of emergency for this place and this state."
The singer, who had "Stop SB 1070" written on her left forearm during the show, then dedicated the song "You and I" to the boy about whom she had spoken.
A judge temporarily has put on hold some of the key aspects of the law, but parts of it have gone into effect.
Lady Gaga also has been an outspoken advocate for gay rights, and she also addressed that issue in her Phoenix concert. She told her fans that she believes, ""Jesus loves everybody," no matter what his or her sexual orientation might be.
