Lady Gaga Tweets 'Pop Stars Don't Eat': Inappropriate or Honest?

Lady Gaga has kept a relatively low profile lately, but a recent tweet has her Little Monsters biting back. On Tuesday, the 26-year-old recording artist tweeted, "Just killed back to back spin classes. Eating a salad and dreaming of a cheeseburger." Harmless enough, but it was the hashtags she added at the end that had critics wincing: #PopSingersDontEat, ironically followed by #IWasBornThisWay.

Now the Twitterverse is attacking Gaga for using the hashtag, accusing her of "endorsing anorexia." One user wrote, "Lady Gaga's #PopSingersDontEat tweet is just wrong & makes her sound like a hypocrite. Lost some respect now." However, others say it's being blown out of proportion. Another user wrote, "#PopSingersDontEat = Not eating whatever the heck you want. Didn't anyone teach you not to take everything literally?" Do you think Gaga's latest tweet was inappropriate -- or was she just trying to keep it real?

    Truthfully, the most "full" life they have is probably in front of the camera. They eat fame and starve to look "good". It's ugly, but its probably very true. I wish she had said they eat "pop tarts". But, maybe that is more something someone like Marilyn Manson would say..... *ponders*

    I think she told the truth. It comes out as no secret to us that many Pop singers have to go on strict diets or even eat very little everyday in order to remain a slim body. Otherwise the media will come up with some headlines " Is she getting fatter?" or something of the kind.

    Does she not know how many young girls actually LISTEN to the garbage flowing from her mouth? Our culture is SO messed up on body image and our relationship with food in general.....some eat to much and hate themselves ...others are a healthy weight and think they are cows so they starve themselves into skin and bones.
    I wish people could see the pop stars and hollywood types as they really are....self involved, egatisical, blow hards....most of them. They should just live their life the way they wish and keep their BS to themselves so it does not invade little girls. I mean really think about that old fashion guy making comments on Adel's weight ....girls see that and then look to themselves and think Wow I don't want people to think that about me...I will stop eating because I want thighs that don't touch or a concave belly.....Insane.

    BOTH: HONEST & INAPPROPRIATE!

    HONEST: GAGA WANTS TO EAT ALL FOOD SHE CRAVED FOR

    but she won't EAT for the sake of her body, look, waist size, et al.

    ABOVE ALL, FOR HER FAME, and FAME brings MONEY $$$

    FOR THESE FEATURES ARE HER MONEY-MAKER!!!

    INAPPROPRIATE: GAGA SHOULD NOT TWEET ANYONE

    "EATING a SALAD and DREAMING of a CHEESEBURGER."

    I don't EAT one thing and DREAM OF another;

    IT MAKES LIFE SO MISERABLE!!!

    LIFE IS TOO HORRIBLY SHORT!

    I DREAM WHAT I WILL EAT

    and I WILL EAT WHAT I DREAMED.

    I'M HAPPY LIKE A LARK

    FOR I LOVE WHAT I HAVE!!!

    (I weight one-hundred & five pounds.)

    I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you angry. I understand that you weigh 105 and eat what you want- I applaud you for that and I'm glad that you're happy with yourself. I'm not trying to accuse you of looking like anyone else either. I was simply making a lighthearted comparison of weights.
    Also, I'm terribly sorry about your story. I wouldn't be able to understand what it would be like. I'm glad everything is working out for you though. Good job!

    In 1981, I met and remarried to a wonderful man. We had another boy. In 1985, I

    quit working for an industry to own my little business.

    I AM legally BLIND and CRIPPLED but I AM VERY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE while 4

    of my family died in 2011 in VIETNAM, and MILLIONS of VIETNAMESE HAVE

    KILLED by AGENT ORANGE DIOXIN SINCE 1975. I went CRAZY. I WILL BE

    NEXT and what about my SONS? My youngest has AOD on his body, I HAD

    PASSED THE POISON TO HIM. BUT I AM STILL ALIVE! SO I try to be HAPPY

    and GRATEFUL EVERYDAY I HAVE ANOTHER DAY TO BE WITH MY LOVED-

    ONES. NOTHING ELSE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT!

    Of the many things I have loved and admired about Lady Gaga is her honesty and candor. Interestingly, this has made her impervious to criticism. She has figured out that those who celebrities who attempt to conceal their sexual promiscuity or recreational drug usage are always discovered. By keeping everything open and above board, she is free to live life on her own terms without having to worry about meeting the expectations of either her fans or her critics.

    By the way, Lady Gaga did not say it was proper to refrain from eating.

    I have no idea how some people can find their own meaning in the simple utterences of others. I also have no idea how "inappropriate" could even be an answer option on this question: That's moronic.



    She's watching her diet: End of story. I also have a salad and wonder how good a cheeseburger would taste instead, but I can't have the cheesburger because of health concerns.



    Sheesh.

    I don't think she ment anything by her comments. The press here's something and takes it completely out of context. I do know that pop stars seem to be more popular if they are thin rather than full figured most of the time, that is probably what she ment.

    "...ironically followed by #IWasBornThisWay."? Seriously? Why is that ironic?
    Lady Gaga has been open and honest about her struggles with bulimia. Why can't "born this way" include accepting yourself, even if you have disordered eating patterns?
    Or, why can't it be as simple as just not eating whatever you want? We're awful quick to defend over-eating and support over-eaters, but awful quick to scream at those who suffer from anorexia or bulima, or even those who care about their figure.

    More like.. sarcastic, I've heard a enough about Lady Gaga to figure that she tends to say a lot of sarcastic things that she doesn't mean. But in the same time it is very true, in order to have a body that is that skinny and be female, you pretty much have to stick to salads and water mostly, of course you can occasionally eat something unhealthy too.

    In one interview she told the interviewer that all she looks for in a partner is a "big dick" and of course she was being sarcastic, yet a bunch of people took that literally, and the interviewer didn't seem to get it either.

    She admitted that she doesn't keep her self so frail by eating cheeseburgers. Most women couldn't do so either. Would her pretending that it comes naturally to her be somehow less promotional of eating disorders? Pretending that the models and actresses that we see everyday are all naturally that way is a lie, as much so as saying that with a little diet and exercise ANYONE can look like that. Looking anywhere close to that way for the overwhelming majority of women is a huge amount of work, if possible at all.



    If she did eat cheeseburgers and gained weight, how many of these same people would be criticizing her for setting an unhealthy example for being 'fat'?

    also; she's talking in a way that suggests she may have and eating disorder and people start talking about how she shouldn't talk about it at and keep pretending it comes naturally rather then that maybe she needs help and support is terribly sad in and of itself.

    It is probably an honest remark, not meant as "never eat any food at all"; although, Ladt Gaga does seem to prefer the type of publicity that this comment will bring. The debate will bring her a lot of attention.
