Pop phenom and über eccentric Lady Gaga has trashed reports that she's in a relationship with her art director Matthew Williams - insisting she's "single" and "celibate".
Reports surfaced a couple of weeks ago that the lady of perpetual sartorial commotion had re-ignited her love affair with ex-boyfriend Williams. A theory bolstered by the fact the singer was snapped cradling Williams' son 10-month-old youngster, named Cairo, during a recent hook-up.
The News Of The World (NOTW) reported on Sunday that Williams had dumped his partner named Erin Hirsh, the mother of his young son, so he could get his feet back under Gaga's table.
The tabloid claimed the scorned ex was left "devastated" after seeing pictures of Gaga cradling her son, but was determined to "take the moral high ground" and not air her dirty laundry in public.
She told the NOTW: "I am afraid that I have to take the moral high ground for the sake of my son. I don't want to talk about this publicly due to him."
But one of her 'mates' was more than happy to let rip and blab to the tab, saying: "Erin is very upset about what has happened. Losing the father of her child to this woman and seeing pictures of him kissing her was bad enough.
"But then seeing Gaga holding their baby in public has been totally devastating for Erin. There were words between her and Matthew, but he's absolutely not apologised."
Choose celibacy
Speculate all you like, NOTW, Gaga says she's in no frame of mind to be playing doctors and nurses with any fella at the moment. In fact, she's celibate.
Silence over there in the peanut gallery.
Glammed up to the hilt in signature oddball attire at the launch of her new AC Viva Glam lipstick with 80s singer Cyndi Lauper in London, Gaga said there wasn't anyone special in her life at the moment.
"I, for myself, make the choice to be single at this point in my life because I don't have the time to get to know anybody. And you know what? It's OK. Even Lady Gaga can be celibate," she said, decked out in black lace leotard, tights, heels and a giant black floral headpiece.
Gaga - real name Stefani Germanotta - added that she prefers to get to know a guy before jumping into bed with them.
"If you can't get to know somebody, you shouldn't be having sex with them," she said.
"It's OK at this point, in this day and age, we have grown up and we now know that we can't be that free with your love."
No glove, no love...
She also encouraged her fans to practise safe sex and warned of the dangers of playing "Russian roulette" by having unprotected sex.
"I see them every night and they are so beautiful and precious and lovely, but some of them are insecure and very troubled and not confident," she said.
"I meet them and they cry, and they say 'Gaga you make me feel like I belong'.
"And I think to myself about that one girl or those hundreds of thousands of girls who meet that guy at a club who makes them feel like they belong and they don't have that negotiation. We all know that having sex without a condom is ... Russian roulette."
Questioned about whether she had a man in her life, she joked: "I am alone and miserable ... but I like to be alone."
"I have had relationships in the past but because I am on the road and I am so focused on my work it's impossible to keep a relationship," she added.
Meanwhile, Gagaloo's been busy addressing those pesky hermaphrodite rumours again.
Tongue firmly in cheek, she told Ok.co.uk that she plans to "wear a d*** strapped to my vagina".
Enjoy your lunch.
She added: "We all know that one of the biggest talking points of the year was that I have a d***, so why not give them what they want?
"I also carry myself onstage in a masculine way and sing in a low register. This is not of nowhere, right?
"I want to comment on that in a beautiful, artistic way. How I wanna show it. And I want to call this piece 'Lady Gaga Dies Hard'.
"Come on, come see me try to persuade everyone to let me wear a penis."
Whatever floats your boat, babe. Dirk Diggler and Boogie Nights spring to mind.
P.S. Gaga announces more tour dates (not NZ).
