Believe the hype: Wacky warbler Lady Gaga has poured blood, sweat and tears into her upcoming signature perfume.
Reports surfaced a few weeks ago that the chart-topper - who signed a deal with Coty Inc. to release a range of perfumes last September - had specifically requested that her celebrity stink be laced with the distinctive bouquet of bodily fluids.
Put it this way, what she had in mind put that 'beef jerky in the making' get-up she wore at the VMAs in the shade. Gaga wanted her signature scent, due out in 2012, to smell like blood and semen (apologies if you've just lost your lunch).
But while many were sceptical over the reports - "she wouldn't, would she?" - Gaga has since piped up and confirmed there's an element of truth to the gossip. Oh, yes she would.
In an interview with Kyle and Jackie O on Australian radio station 2Day FM, Gaga spilled on her scent.
"Actually the perfume smells like an expensive hooker," she said.
"I wanted to extract the feeling and sense of blood and semen from molecular structures, so that's where that comes from. You get the after feeling of sex from the semen and the blood is primal," she added.
"It was taken out of my own blood sample so it's like the sense of having me on your skin."
Jackie O politely chirped: "Very creative, very different."
During the confab Gaga also shot down reports that she's dating Luc Carl. "No, I'm on my own," she said.
She added: "But I have really strong friendships that I've had my whole life in New York and that's really important to me. I need to stay focused on my fans."
