Last night Lady Gaga chatted with Jay Leno about the controversy surrounding her new single Born This Way, and its striking similarity to Madonna's Express Yourself. She told the host, “There is really no one who is a more adoring and loving Madonna fan than me. I am the hugest fan, personally and professionally. Well the good news is I got an email from her people sending me their love and support on behalf of the single. And if the queen says it shall be, then it shall be!” But isn't sending love and support via your "people," perhaps... a little passive aggressive?
Gaga also says the worst rumor about her is that she's from Yonkers! She declared: "I love the Bronx but I'm just not from Yonkers. There's all sorts of rumors about me but that's my least favorite. It makes me so angry." (Oh, Gaga, Yonkers borders The Bronx.)

I've never had so much dislike for someone I've never met than I do for that grotesque sloozebucket.

Does that mean you've met Bernie Madoff? Because I would think someone who has bilked people out of billions of dollars is less likeable than a harmless self-promoting singer of pop songs.

We used to go hiking on Sundays...
Guess I should rephrase with "artist" I've never met. Also, she really just kinda makes me wanna vomit everything I've ever eaten on everyone who makes her rich. Madoff is actual subhuman scum, so yes, you'd be correct then,

Ripoff or not, Born This Way is a horrible song. Probably her worst. She must be hanging around too many drag queens…. It seems to have skewed her judgement.

What? She thinks Yonkers is part of NYC and the Bronx!?

Underworked and overpaid - the lot of them.

For someone who claims to be from NYC it is pretty striking that she has no idea that Yonkers and the Bronx are two different areas. She should crawl back into the egg she was last seen exiting.

ha, i was just going to say the same thing.
yonkers ≠ bronx
dumbass.

O, she's just a little rich girl from upstate. Who cares.
masterjarvis

Isn't she from the UES? Strictly private schools, that one.

UWS. She grew up in the Pythian building on 70th.

I wonder what would happen if you put all the celebufreaks and media attention whores in one room.
