Althouse: "It hurts when I know how much authenticity and how much genuine blood is in my spirit."

"It hurts when I know how much authenticity and how much genuine blood is in my spirit."

Lady Gaga goes on a crying jag. Not for herself but for... everyone.

reader_iam said...: These days, the choice to shoot footage in black and white is *always* deliberate on account of the fact that black-and-white film is *never* the default these days and hasn't been with regard to both still and moving pix for a really really--really!--long time now. These days, it's only and always *by choice* that a particular medium is selected.; 4/25/11, 11:25 PM

Her interview at Google Corp. was fantastic.

The bitch isn't stupid.; 4/25/11, 11:41 PM
reader_iam said...: WTF? Is this gonna be one of those "old-home-week" threads? Oh, my.

Also, while I'm here--and I really don't mean to offend, but perhaps what next I'm going to ask will, who the hell knows, these days--I am curious as to the answer to the following question:

traditionalguy: Did you mean "trooper"? As opposed to "trouper"?

Just so you don't think my point is to catch you out, I'll state that I think she *is* a trouper, regardless of whatever she started out to be and whatever else she's come to be. And may or may not intend to be/do, including a whole trooper role.; 4/25/11, 11:55 PM

OMG where is that air sickness bag...

offering her dreamdolls at less than extortionate prices,

and as the notes and coins are taken out

I'm taken in, to the factory floor.

I give up. "Lamb Lies Down" lyrics are apropos of what, exactly?; 4/26/11, 9:20 AM

Hasn't fake blood always been the issue?; 4/26/11, 10:07 AM
Dustin said...: I'm afraid I'd actually consider that she was genuinely this artistic if she would produce some music or a video that wasn't a very thin little knock off. Yes, I know, it's a meta point. But it's also boring and a copy.

It's not like I care. By all means, let her get rich and cry and get kids to cry for her. If she wasn't doing it, someone else would. The music industry just picks these people and sets them up. I just note that her attempts to be authentic are not sincere, any more than any other plagiarist.; 4/26/11, 12:26 PM
Renee said...: So much for being worth over 100 million dollars... I guess money and success doesn't bring happiness. I do find her references her fans as her kingdom and her being a queen, creepy though. She's an entertainers, she profits off her fans, she doesn't perform as a public service.; 4/26/11, 12:57 PM

jr565 said...: Do gay hair dressers/make up artists ever get tired of listening to women go through their hormonal changes while having their hair done.
Whoever that guy is listening to Gaga's doo doo and not slapping her or vomiting in the corner, deserves a raise.; 4/27/11, 10:46 AM
