Courtney Love on Lady Gaga: "Weird, sexless Barbie doll"
Quote:
Do you think there’s a connection between drug use and creativity?
Definitely. Look at the most brilliant artists of the past two centuries. Proust. Tennessee Williams. Scott Fitzgerald. Jim Morrison. Kurt. They all were ****ed up on something or other. It goes with the territory. Artists are more sensitive than other people. Maybe we need something to dull the pain. My world was turned upside down by a very bitter, very ugly woman named Lynn Hirschberg, who published a hatchet job about Kurt and me in Vanity Fair. She’s more responsible for my husband’s death than anyone.
You know, I’ve been through a lot of trauma, I’ve witnessed a lot of death. I’ve looked the devil in the eye. According to the London Times, I’ve had $900 million stolen from me. I’ve had my daughter metaphorically and literally kidnapped. My husband’s money is supporting a squad of corrupt lawyers who ****ed me over. It hasn’t been easy. I can be eccentric, egotistic and temperamental. I can be a real bitch. But I also know that I'm a really good artist. So do you really expect me to be well-adjusted all the time? Look at all these little stars—Britney and Lindsay and all the others. Being famous is a dangerous profession these days.
Lady Gaga seems to be doing okay.
She may be doing fine at the moment, but I’m worried about her future. She’s very young, and she’s very talented, but she doesn’t seem to have any female friends. Or any straight guy friends for that matter. Instead, she surrounds herself with this coterie of gay stylists and advisors who’ve turned her into this weird, sexless Barbie doll. I was raised by gay guys myself, and I turned out all right in the end. But you know, you can only pull off this meat-dress act for so long. If she doesn’t watch out she’ll turn into a lonely drag queen. Straight guys just aren’t in to that kind of thing.
As if anyone cares about this has been's (or never was?) opinion on the biggest pop star on the planet . And the comment comes off as a bit homophobic.
Gui, is this what we're reduced to? Always posting unflattering threads about Gaga? You can't complain about the monsters if this is your tactic for dealing with them.

I Agree with Her though. In this industry you cant trust anyone. But Gaga is from Italian blood, from what i know Italian are really strong people. And Italian Family are really united. As long as she stay true to her family she will be fine. Just look at Madonna she has been going trought all kind of madness a Superstar can going trough. She still stronger than ever.
