Lady Gaga would give away "every dollar" she has if she could.

The ‘Edge of Glory’ hitmaker – who is estimated to be worth $112.8 million – explained being wealthy and gaining worldwide recognition was never something she aspired to, and she would be happy to give it all up.

Speaking in Sydney as part of her ‘Monster’s Ball’ tour, she said: “Money and recognition were never a driving factor for me. I was driven by recognition by showbiz.

“What does come along with showbiz is recognition, but the money goes right back into the show. If I had to give it all away, every dollar that I’ve earned, I would.”

However, the 25-year-old singer might not have so much cash to splash in the future, as she recently claimed her tour had “bankrupted” her.

She said: “I put everything in the show, and I actually went bankrupt after the first extension of the ‘Monster Ball’. And it was funny because I didn’t know!

“And I remember I called everybody and said, ‘Why is everyone saying I have no money? This is ridiculous, I have five number one singles’ – and they said, ‘Well, you’re $3 million in debt.’ “

The 26-year-old star was forced to leave the Dolce and Gabbana showroom, where she was having a dress fitting, after being “accosted” by fans who thought she was the eccentric pop star.

She revealed on her twitter account: “Just had a fitting at Dolce & Gabbana and they have to be the nicest press office ever thank you so much ladies! See you Thursday!

“I had to leave this place everyone thought I was @ladygaga and accosted me. I truly mean no disrespect I love @ladygaga but it’s to much for me to handle I have a hole new respect!!!!! (sic)”

Kelly has had an eventful week in the UK capital so far.

The TV star caught two boys trying to steal a parked car on Monday night , and the hoodlums ran off when Kelly shouted at them.

She revealed on her twitter account: “Just stopped 2 boys robbing a car all I said was ‘oi’ and they ran like the wind. I did not realise I was that scary!”

Later the same evening the blonde beauty encountered two more boys trying to push an electric G-Wiz car on its side.

She added in other tweets: “WTF is going on tonight just stopped 2 boys with lacrosse sticks trying to push Gee-Wizz car on it’s side what’s wrong with London police?

“I’m in one of the poshest parts of London and it’s like f*****g crime watch! (sic)”

Lady Gaga Wants To Make Dad Proud

Posted on by

Lady Gaga wants her dad to be proud of her music more than she wants worldwide adulation.

The ‘Edge of Glory’ singer – whose latest album ‘Born This Way’ has gone to number one in over 20 countries – insists one of the biggest motivations for her music is her father Joseph Germanotta and it is his support which drives her on to succeed.

Gaga said: “As much as I want the world to be happy, at the end of the day I just want my dad to be proud of me.”

The pop superstar also spoke of her family’s reaction to her rise to fame and various eccentric fashion choices – which have included a dress made out of meat and a Kermit the frog coat.

In an interview on Japanese TV talk show Tetsuko no Heya, she said: “They were sometimes worried, sometimes confused. But with all things, with all adversity it takes time. I was very patient with them and they were very patient with me.

“Now the most wonderful thing about my family is that we are rock solid.”

The 25-year-old singer – who appeared on the programme clad in a circular dress and sky-high heels – is also inspired by her millions of fans.

She explained: “As an artist I’m always trying to project to my fans and the world that the public does not define you who you are. You define you.”

Lady Gaga confused by personas

Lady Gaga no longer knows the difference between her real self and on stage persona.

The ‘Born This Way’ hitmaker – whose real name is Stefani Germanotta – admits she throws herself so completely into her outlandish costumes and performances, her outfits have become as much a part of her as her vital organs.

She said: “The lines for myself have become so blurred now, I know not the difference between a moment of performance and a moment of honesty. If you were to ask me to remove my Philip Treacy hat at a party, in truth it is the emotional and physical equivalent of requesting I remove my liver.

“I know not the difference between the hair that grows from my head and the teal wigs that grow from my imagination. They are the same. They are both honest, and always have been. So maybe I know nothing of ‘the art of escapism.’ I was just Born This Way. I revere the dream to be real. I am always, and shall forever be, private in public.”

The eccentric singer insists the way she presents herself is her “destiny” and she is always part of a show that celebrates her own “uniqueness”.

She wrote in her column for V magazine: “Art is a lie. And every day I kill to make it true. It is my destiny to exist halfway between reality and fantasy at all times. They call me ‘theatrical,’ but I posit profusely that I am theatre, and that theatre is me. I am a show with no intermission.

“It is this thing that summons me from the depths of reality and reminds me that the power of transformation is endless. That I (we) possess something magical and transformative inside- a uniqueness and specialness waiting to be exiled from the depths of our identity. ”

Lady Gaga is hooked on 'Antiques Roadshow'.

Posted on by

The 25-year-old singer – who is well known for her eccentric tastes – is obsessed with the British TV show where people bring in their valuables to find out their value, and friends have now bought her a DVD box set of classic episodes so she can watch them on the road.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Lady Gaga is really into her antiques so British pals thought she might be interested in the programme.

“It went down a storm and Gaga hasn’t stopped watching the DVDs. She loves how the old people think their antique is a bit of old tat but ends up costing thousands. It’s right up her street.”

The ‘Judas’ hitmaker herself has some expensive items in her closet – she was given the red shoes worn by Judy Garland in 1939 movie ‘The Wizard of Oz’ as a present from her management earlier this year.

It is not the first time Lady Gaga has been linked to a love of television – she has previously confessed she adores watching cookery shows when she has some down time.

She said: “When I get time off, I like to watch cooking shows, I’m really obsessed with them. I’m a really good cook now, just from watching those shows. My specialty is Italian.”

Lady Gaga is to guest judge ‘So You Think You Can Dance’.

The ‘Edge Of Glory’ hitmaker – who is currently in Singapore as part of her ‘Monster’s Ball’ tour – will join permanent judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy on the panel of the Fox dance competition.

Show boss Nigel – also at the helm of ‘American Idol’ said: “Lady Gaga will give great advice on how to handle yourself, how to be creative with what you do, and how to be a fabulous performer.

“Her help is going to be invaluable.”

This isn’t the first time the 25-year-old singer has appeared on a US reality show.

In May, Lady Gaga acted as a guest mentor on ‘American Idol’ and instructed the four finalists – including eventual winner Scotty McCreery – on how to prepare for the live shows, telling the hopefuls to embrace their “sexy” sides and give the judges “a little drama”.

She said at the time: “I just want to give them senses of inspiration and confidence. And to help them bring out what’s really special about them.”

Lady Gaga Aplogises For Slur

Lady Gaga and Hundreds of Others Apologise for Slur

During an interview with the British music magazine NME, American pop icon Lady Gaga called recent accusations of plagiarism “retarded.”

Ms. Gaga, an outspoken advocate for the LGBT community, has since apologized, acknowledging that her use of the word undermines the social causes with which she frequently associates.

“I consider it part of my life’s work and music to push the boundaries of love and acceptance,” said Gaga in a statement released through celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. “To anyone that was hurt, please know that it was furiously unintentional.”

She continued: “Whether life’s disabilities left you outcast, bullied or teased, rejoice and love yourself today.”

Gaga’s flippant use of “retard” is indicative of how casually the word exists in the English language. To measure how frequently it’s used would be nearly impossible, but TheSocialChallenge.org has been using one particular platform to track its use: Twitter.

Visitors to the site can see the live stream of tweets containing the word, and can send messages asking the tweeters to reconsider their choice of words in the future.

TheSocialChallenge.org has demonstrated that when engaged, like Lady Gaga, users of the word “retard” are likely to apologize.

“It’s really unfortunate when someone with as much influence as Lady Gaga uses that word,” said Holly Roos, an advocate for TheSocialChallenge.org, and a mother of two children with Fragile-X syndrome.

“But through The Social Challenge, in just over a month, we’ve actually had hundreds of people tweet back with apologies, pledging not to use the word in the future. It’s a great opportunity to make a difference, and I’m really glad to see that Lady Gaga thought better of her words, too.”

This month Gaga was an attendee at an event in Paris for the Best Buddies Association, an international nonprofit advocacy group for people with developmental disabilities.

TheSocialChallenge.org is a project that believes all people deserve the same rights and freedoms; that all individuals with developmental disabilities can be best served in the community with the right supports and services; and that advocacy can change lives.
