Lady Gaga: Bisexuality & Cocaine

Lady Gaga has hinted at her bisexuality many a time the famously androgynous singer even admitted her hit single "Poker Face" was about thinking about a woman while in bed with a man. In the June issue of Rolling Stone, Gaga (born Stefani Joanne Germanotta) says she's definitely into the ladies - but it's a purely physical thing. And it freaks out her boyfriends:

“The fact that I'm into women; they're all intimidated by it. It makes them uncomfortable. They're like, 'I don't need to have a threesome. I'm happy with just you.”

Gaga is currently in a relationship with a guy, but she considers music her greatest love, for the time being. "My music's not going to wake up tomorrow morning and tell me it doesn't love me anymore. So I'm content with my solitude. I'm okay with being alone. I choose to have someone in my life when I can."
Lady Gaga has recently talked about almost being arrested for some of her seriously skimpy outfits, but back when she was writing many of the tracks for her first album, she had a bigger reason to worry about the cops. Namely, she was doing just a ton of cocaine. Gaga revealed that the creative impetus behind her song "Beautiful Dirty Rich" was staying up for 72 hours on blow and writing songs.

“It’s from my coke years. 2005 was where it began, and I thought I was gonna die. I never really did the drugs for the high — it was more the romanticism of Andy Warhol and Mick Jagger and all the artists that I loved. I wanted to be them, and I wanted to live their life, and I wanted to understand the way that they saw things and how they arrived at their art. And I believed the only way I could do this was to live the lifestyle, and so I did. So it wasn’t about getting high — it was about being an artist. About waking up in the morning at 10:30 and doing a bunch of lines and writing a bunch of music, and staying up for three days on a creative whirlwind and then panic-attacking for a week after. It was one of the most difficult times in my life, but it was important for me to experience, since it unlocked parts of my brain. But I wouldn’t encourage people to do it for that reason — you can arrive at all those things on your own.”
