Lady Gaga is unbelievably rich and arguably the biggest pop star of her generation. But believe it or not, the 26-year-old is still quite sad. On Lifetime's "The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet" on Thursday, the singer admitted that she has "begun to cherish my loneliness. I have, sort of, since I was around 20 years old."

In the interview, Gaga reveals that she was very depressed when she was 19. "I would go back to my apartment every day and I would just sit there. It was quiet and it was lonely. It was still. It was just my piano and myself. I had at television and I would leave it on all the time just to feel like somebody was hanging out with me."

She also confesses that she used cocaine to "fill that void," like "the drug was my friend." While she's now drug-free, Gaga is reportedly taking a "break" from her hunky "Vampire Diaries" boyfriend Taylor Kinney, leading us to wonder if she's lonely all over again.

    It's a toss up between Jim and Robin Williams. It seems the sadder the man, the more he makes you laugh.

    Of those listed, definitely Sinead O'Connor. Her sad politics are a dead end.

    Sinead is by far the saddest creature. The shaven head and the spectacle of tearing the pope's picture. She is sad because she does not make as much money as Lady GaGa and she pissed too many people off when she tore up the Pope's picture.

    I must wonder if GaGa is at the top because that's who this question puts forward, or maybe they're using 'sad' in the more slang meaning of the word (though I myself like her). GaGa has been lonely for a very long time, and that beats out mental disorders? I don't think so.

    I have not paid much attention to Gaga's career, so I can only see the obvious as another example of money can't buy happiness. The problem with too many celebrities is that they want the attention that celebrity brings, but then can't handle the reality that the attention can't be turned off at their will when they get tired of it.

    You're not judging her, but you're saying her life is just 'fame and evil things'...like what, believing in equal rights for everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation?...and she'll be happy 'when', not 'if', she 'gets back to Christ'. Yeah, that makes sense...Guess what? Some Christians are unhappy, and some people who are atheist or of other religions are perfectly happy.

    Demi is still young and has not yet learned to cope with her illness properly. Even when one has, one can suffer from relapses. I started cutting myself at 16. I'd learned techniques to short-circuit the need to cut when I became overwhelmed, but I had a relapse last Christmas and ended up with a big scar on my left arm. It is a life-long battle. People who don't live with mental illness are very quick to judge much of the time.

    I guess being dead takes you out of the running for saddest (living) celebrity. They should have put in the living part into the title.

    Theres two reasons.
    1. She's always surrounded by fans, etc, people who work with and for her, worship or despise her. No one exactly real.
    2. She is waiting for that somebody. With all the relationships and marriages. One starts to feel a bit lonely when they have not found someone suitable to date.

    I can't pretend to understand somebody but when I see her pictures. It feels like she's just as lonely as I am. A similar type of loneliness?
