I really don't get this argument that if Gaga was truly talented she wouldn't need to pose naked or show her butt in videos. Has nobody thought of the possibility that she's talented AND likes showing her body off - that's just her style - like say I'm an actress, does my acting ability depend on how many of my clothes I keep on in the movie? - the two things just aint got nothing to do with each other. Re the drugs - yes she's still on them now and then - mostly E though rather than coke - and just occasional use - she's probably got quite an addictive personality - but as far as I can tell all the touring, writing etc etc have taken the place drugs used to have in her life + lets not get hypocritcal here - who here doesn't take something or other occasionally - I'll openly admit I smoke the odd joint.
