There are a bunch of Lady Gaga updates to address and it’s easier to lump them into one post. Not least because none of this s**t need its own post. First, in a video below, from her YouTube, Gaga addresses the leak of her latest single, Judas. She was basically enjoying a little down time and then received an email to say the song had leaked. Rather than fight the leak by having copies ripped down, most singers’ go-to, she decided to release the song. Because it was ‘dying a slow death’… she felt the song was being ripped ‘limb-from-limb’ and the lesser of two evils was to have her people release it. In the same video, on the heels of her expletive-filled NME interview, she talks more about her process. She likens writing her songs, over ’15 minutes’ to vomit. Creative vomit. Or something. I don’t know. And she urges fans to be ‘loyal to their vomit.’ Okay? Then there’s some crap with Weird Al Yankovic that’s barely worth addressing as it screams of a poorly-staged publicity stunt on his behalf. In a parody he possibly never even ran past her, Yankovic claims his Born This Way parody, entitled Perform This Way was blocked from being released on his album. In a whiny blog post, he bemoaned her disliking the song and blocking it. Gaga’s people went on the offensive and told TMZ.com she never even heard the song and there was a ‘misunderstanding’; the song’s now been cleared for release. It’s also below.

Lady Gaga’s song Judas leaked at the end of last week, four days early. I listened to it a few times, trying to decide whether I liked it. I liked it initially, now I’m on the fence. Most of the song’s production is pretty stellar; I like the introduction, the verses, and interlude, however, the chorus and bridge are weirdly-poppy in a way that almost belong in another track. Anyhow, because the track leaked a lot earlier than planned, Gaga had to release the song ahead of schedule. The below audio is from Gaga’s YouTube, where she’s got a link to the single on iTunes. She also spent the weekend tweeting pictures of artwork for the single and album; the album cover being revealed on normal printer paper, prompting some fans to think it some poorly-staged joke. Above is the Born This Way album cover, in all its Transformers glory. And there’s a Judas single cover.

Lady Gaga says she sleeps in her make-up every night and her hair’s falling out from processing. Speaking to People about her lack of beauty regime, she’s asked how many nights per week she sleeps in the inch-thick make-up she wears on stage and for photo shoots. ‘Seven,’ she replies. ‘That is not good for your skin, but I’m blessed with good genes.’ She’s blessed with being 24-years-old, there’s no way she’s going to be able to get away with that even 10 years from now. That’s kind of gross, as much make-up as she wears some days. I guess she puts further make-up on top of the previous day’s or eventually washes that off and puts on another ‘coat.’ Weirdly, she then claims she’s worried about the state of her skin, carrying around sunblock in her bag. ‘I don’t like to tan my face because it’s bad for wrinkles,’ she explains. She adds that she has the same problem as a couple of celebrities, Britney Spears and Naomi Campbell’s names come to mind, whose hair is falling out. Gaga adds, she misses her dark hair when she has to ‘get a chemical haircut because my blonde hair is falling out.’
