A lengthy article in New York
magazine called “Growing Up
Gaga” hit newsstands this week,
perfectly timed with Ms.
Germanotta ’s 24th birthday.
While some have seized on
certain disappointing revelations
of “un-Gaga” behavior (including
the fact that she lost weight by
consuming “diet pills and one
real meal a day”), but there’s
plenty of other interesting
factoids buried in writer Vanessa
Grigoriadis ’ the in-depth look at
Gaga’ origins.
For now, let’s focus on what lies
ahead for Gaga in her 24th year
— an upcoming arena tour in the
U.S., and a third album due later
this year. She previously called
the follow up to The Fame
Monster her “best work to date,”
but provided even more info—
maybe even a song?—on her
fans’ message boards.
Here’s what Gaga had to say
about her forthcoming album in
the Gaga Daily chat box Sunday
night (and yep, it was really her):
“The greatest music of my
career”? “The anthem for our
generation”? Who knew Gaga
would be the one to hype up her
tunes more than anyone else
ever could?
