Lady GaGa to Vanity Fair: “I still occasionally do drugs”

Lady GaGa has always been quite honest about her drug past and how heroin almost killed her.

In her new interview with Vanity Fair September 2010 issue, the one that she covers and goes naked in the spread, pop sensation and fashion extravagance GaGa admits to still doing drugs a couple of times a year, though adding she’s “terrified” by heroin and only uses cocaine.

I won’t lie; it’s occasional. And when I say occasional, I mean maybe a couple of times a year,” she confessed. “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.”

WTF???

Continuing with her confession Lady GaGa, 24, also says that in her drug past she was completely “mental” and really hit the rock bottom that almost killed her:

I had just been through so much,” she said about one of the drug overdose episodes. “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.’”

Drugs are bad, Little Monsters! So Lady GaGa only wants you to focus on her art and not her mistakes in life, saying:

My real fans know who I truly am, and they know what I represent and what I mean, and my music and my performance is what really speaks.”

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget her confession and every time I see her pale and exhausted and fragile, guess what reason I’ll see behind it – drugs. There must be someone or something to help her out. But, if ever art can’t do that, what can?

   Off with her head!!!

   After reading this, Lady Gaga lost me as a fan. I’m burning her CDs and not attending her concert at Staples Center.

   That’s very judgmental of you. -to not be a fan anymore because she does drugs. Can you confirm it? Wake up! Many great artists have done drugs or still do. It’s what happens when you’re a part of the fame industry. Fame gets to you whether it be the paparazzi, plastic surgery, or drugs.

   I didnt hear her say what drugs she did occassionally for all you know she smokes some pot to relax once in a while and even tho i dont do drugs at all anymore i dont think that we should judge people who have a sucessful life and admitt to occassionally doing drugs when its her life and she can do what she wants with it.

   from someone who has occassionally done drugs sometimes the only thing that keeps you sane is the escape from reality.

   OK, first off if you’re so disgusted by the idea of a musician doing drugs, throw away every single record you own by the Beatles, Micheal Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Led Zeppelin, Ray Charles, Madonna, James Brown…the list is endless, and includes about 99% of rock’n’rolls greats.
   Secondly, at least she admits it and doesn’t try to hide it away for it to come out as some massive scandal. Honesty goes a long way, and she’s not encouraging it, in fact the opposite, she’s saying the opposite.
   Third point, he exhausted fragile figure? Compared to a lot of the pop worlds ladies, Lady Gaga seems to be pretty in shape and robust. Short of mid/post gig, I don’t think I’ve seen her exhausted, and seriously, if you can put the energy she does, throwing herself around, lugging often heavy ornamental outfits and instruments around and singing at the top of her lungs, and not be exhausted then you are simply not human.
   Final point, a little bit of dabbling in cocaine will never be as damaging as your uninformed criticism.

   Wow. She’s terrified of heroin and only uses cocaine? Like that’s better.

   Not a fan? So what, then! She has millions of fans so she couldn’t care less if you buy her next CD’s or not.

   Being as crazy as Lady GaGa is hard. All those rappers trying to be cool do drugs, you know but deny it. Except Snoop. Haha! What a douche. Kayne is just retarded. I’m still pissed for that stunt he pulled on Taylor Swift.

   Anyway, Lady GaGa shows us how awesome we can be when we become someone different. Also, she pays tribute to her late friend by ”borrowing” her style. Everyone I know hates Lady GaGa and think she’s ugly and crazy and such. I disagree. I, being a guy, argue that she makes the best music for clubs or to remix (being an inspiring DJ). Then they argue how she has a penis. So, Lady GaGa got you talking about that? That’s just one of her many genius plans to get her FAME. (:

   Please, respect Lady GaGa. Don’t hate the player, hate the game (so cheesy). Peace for the deranged, too.
