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."

+7It's a toss up between Jim and Robin Williams. It seems the sadder the man, the more he makes you laugh.
Not holding my breath that she will find God and the salvation that she is yearning through Jesus Christ and the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE that God has for her--but one can hope and pray. :)
I think that maybe he's caught up in the moment where he thinks that no one understands him. That's a scary place.
And again, WHY IS THERE NO "none of the above" OPTION? I'M SERIOUSLY F*CKING TIRED OF SH!T LIKE THIS NOT OFFERING SUCH A VITAL OPTION. JUST BECAUSE YOU GIVE US A SLIDE-SHOW WITH INFORMATION ON EACH CHOICE DOESN'T MEAN YOU DON'T NEED TO CATER TO THOSE WHO WON'T GIVE A F*CK ABOUT ANY OF THE CHOICES! DO YOU HEAR ME SODAHEAD? TWATS.
Yes, many times the questions need a more open choice of answers, in this case at hand, absolutely.
Another celebrity was Michael Jackson.....the king of pop! We treated the angel like animals!
Please forgive us Michael!!!!!!
life ins't about money and fame! that is not what makes you happy! dressing skimpy won't get you what you really want or need either
This woman is rich, if she is depressed she should get help from a psychatrist or therapist. She has the option that millions of truly depressed People around the World do not have ~ a means to get treatment. Instead she seeks the Media to air her "troubled life"
Billions of People around this Planet wish they had these "troubles" as opposed to being caught in a hot war, religious genocide, slavery, plague, or starvation.
In fact all of these asses need to get a damn clue.
I cherish Lady Ga Ga's arse.
Sinead O'Connor is the real sad one. She was such a beautiful young lady back in the 1980's. But she couldn't get out of her F'ed up head, sexual identity not withstanding. Look at her now. She's a miserable bull dyke. It's so sad...
I could accept that most artistic people are generally prone to sadness, depression, dark moods, and this is often what fuels them,
however,
I'm well tired of the Lady Gagas of the world contriving fake relationships with their fanbase and somehow always battling eating disorders or knowing what it's like to be bullied.
To be clear: She is from a good family (relatively speaking as good as it gets) and had a highly privileged run from teenager to one of New Yorks hottest stars to massive wealth and praise, running coke-fueled party nights with all the rich and famous. She has ZERO RELATIONS with angsty 'little monster' teen girls. ZERO. She is the very antithesis. She is not 'like you' AT ALL.
*I started laughing thinking of an old Larry Sander premise (which was so much like our real life writers room) where their star comedy writer was ONLY effective if his girlfriend broke up with him. So of course they deliberately manipulated him getting dumped lol
Something bothers me about a rather beautiful young woman with a physically fit curvy body (Lady Gaga) who then puts on an ugly costume (some scary make-up, $1000 designer 'messy' hairstyles) then goes on stage and tells awkward children "heyy.. I'm ugly/fat/unpopular JUST LIKE YOU!".
Kids dump $150 dollars a piece on concert tickets. Ugh.
