In reply to fame this and fame that : that's lady reductive.

I concur. She has been kicking at the same dead "sardonically poking at the Faustian concept of selling your soul for power and fame" horse for FOUR years now. She says she knows how to beat fame at its own game, but whether or not she wants to admit it, she has succumbed to her own hype. She had the audacity to say she wrote the "album of the decade" in 2011, only to have Adele dominate her at both the 2012 Grammys and official music charts. When someone recently asked her on Twitter if she still considered 'Born This Way' to be the album of the decade, she snarkily equivocated: "Which decade?" Gaga herself IS the Fame Monster.
