Lady GaGa: “I Am Celibate”

Published: Monday 12th Apr 2010 by Sam
Lady GaGa

Despite her regular mentions of ‘disco sticks’ and all-round provocativeness, Pop eccentric Lady GaGa has revealed that she is currently practising celibacy. In the interview, which was conducted by the UK’s Daily Mail, the 24 year old also touched upon the pressure youngsters face to have sex.

Check out what she had to say after the jump…

On celibacy:

I’m single right now and I’ve chosen to be single because I don’t have the time to get to know anybody. So it’s OK not to have sex, it’s OK to get to know people. I’m celibate, celibacy’s fine.

On pressures growing up:

I remember the cool girls when I was growing up. Everyone started to have sex. But it’s not really cool any more to have sex all the time. It’s cooler to be strong and independent.

Definitely a positive message for some of her younger fans. Good stuff.

    Good for her. LOL @ “It’s not cool anymore”

  2. ~Team Weezy~ April 12, 2010

    I don’t believe that ish. I like GaGa but saying it’s a positive message is contradictory to her video which sends a not so positive message.

  3. HUMANA HUMANA April 12, 2010

    And I poop butterflies.

  4. Ben April 12, 2010

    Yeah,……………..ok Gaga.

  5. Lady GAGA April 12, 2010

    She is what I call ‘Classy.”

  6. Joseph McCoy April 12, 2010

    Yet, she’s shaking her ass in every video talking about “Sorry I can not hear you, I’m KINDA busy”..

  7. MassiveShawn April 12, 2010

    Just because she isn’t completely kid friedly doesn’t mean she can’t send out a good message to kids. Lady Gaga is trying to send good messages yet people always gotta go against it SMFH! y’all need a life!!

  8. Kenney April 12, 2010

    stfu u stupid b****! Christina Aguilera’s back and has the spotlight now so get use to it and stop finding ways to stay in the blogs and news! How about this! You’re celibate and I’m straight, there now we’re both even!

  9. QUE April 12, 2010

    @MassiveShawn “Lady Gaga is trying to send good messages…” Have you actually listened to her songs? Her lyricism doesn’t go with her interviews – which is why I just find her annoying now.

  10. Plug April 12, 2010

    So basically, she’s a walking, talking contradiction. Oh well. She’s not the first celebrity to start sticking her foot in her mouth and she surely wont be the last.

  11. hihihihihihi April 12, 2010

    NOW IF RIHANNA SAID IT

    IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD STUFF

    B**** PLESE

  12. Kami April 12, 2010

    @Everyone above me:

    Umm you guys, don’t automatically jump on her for her statements.
    She’s actually a celebrity now and she’s constantly working with touring, doing her interviews and working on her new album and upcoming video. She doesn’t have *time* for an intimate relationship with a man or a woman right now. She even said in an interview that she’d choose her career over love any day at the moment —

    “Your career will always love you.
    It won’t wake up and say that it doesn’t love you anymore.”

    And the videos are provocative..so what? It doesn’t mean that she’s going around screwing people just because of that. I’m glad that Gaga isn’t having s** right now at this point in her life with all of her success. Gaga is basically saying that you can still be s*** without actually having s**.

    Also (QUE) –
    How many songs have you actually heard from her to actually make that statement? A lot of her songs aren’t just blatant messages. A lot of it is actually metaphorical for things. I understand how you wouldn’t be able to read into that. But just saying.

  13. BEYDABESS (DA REAL ONE) April 12, 2010

    GIRL PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. Fred April 12, 2010

    I think Lady Gaga is very talented as far as singing and playing the piano but her gimmicks turn me off, she goes too far. If she wants to send a good message to her fans she should not be making crap like that telephone video. Words are not as powerful as visual messages can be. Telephone is just down right nasty in my opinion and sucks.

    Promoting killing someone in two of her videos
    Promoting being gay and being graphic about it
    Promoting nudity and s**

    whatever

  15. Kami April 12, 2010

    Why is the promotion of being gay such a bad thing?

  16. Kami April 12, 2010

    Also, why should Gaga be limited cinematographically to things in her videos?
    People die all the time in the progression of films in the movie industry.

    music – videos.
    mini movies that are modern musicals.

    whats so bad about that?

  17. X ,Y and Crazeee! April 12, 2010

    haha what positive message… she is a crawling contradiction..

    Who would sleep with that s**** anyway???

  18. DIVAZZ April 12, 2010

    LADY GAGA IS FAKE POINT BLANK!!!!! THAT’S WHY M.I.A CALLED HER OUT ON HER FAKEISH IMAGE .THAT B****!!!! IS NOT UNIQUE AND AS FOR BEING INNOVATIVE AND REVOLUTIONIZING POP MUSIC PLEASE!!!

  19. Anne April 12, 2010

    I think it’s ok to send a positive message but how can her softspoken words during an interview compete with the clear and loud message of her songs and videos that encourage promiscuity. She is encouraging influential fans to lower themselves to a standard to which she now says she does not personally abide by. This is a irresponsible contradiction in my opinion.

  20. matt April 12, 2010

    ^^ Someone’s having a b****-ass hissy fit. Loosen up abit fool and acknowledge that people can be influenced. Heck Madonna acknowledged her and said she loves her style, wouldn’t she ‘Hate’ her if she thought Gaga was jacking her earlier style. Even Michael Jackson wanted to do some work with her just before he died, and that was before she was even noticed in mainstream. Boy George wants to work with her, Elton John has peformed with her at the Grammys. Even Queen Rihanna (LOL) wanted to work with her, and then decided to hate on her product placement, hmm hypocrit much.
    Just goes to show how stupid people are on here, do not open their eyes up to a new star, or cannot handle that she is big and will continue to major supertstardom, get over yourself haters!!

  21. anon April 12, 2010

    to the rihanna stans. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN = sold out

    everywhere else – not even anywhere near sold out, many of the seats still remain. Heck even Nicki pulled out, and the only people that are gonna be there are 10-16 year olds who only appreciate heavy auto-tuned recycled poppy CRAP!!

  22. Kami April 12, 2010

    DIVAZZ –
    And what proof do you have that she’s on drugs?
    She’s obviously only growing thinner because she’s working constantly.

    YOU try working your ass of on a stage for 5 – 8 hours constantly singing and dancing on a constantly extending tour almost every other day and you’ll see the toll it takes on your body. Since when in the hell has Gaga been on drugs to where it influenced her albums?

    You’re silly.
    I’m not going to address you any further.

  23. Fatima April 12, 2010

    Way to be days late with this story.

  24. kenney April 12, 2010

    @ DIVAZZ- I couldn’t had said that better baby u go girl or boy! All her songs are about either s**, drugs, or getting freaky but yet she trying to promote celibacy? This is why her and legendtina are so completey different! Legendtina is 100% real and not a walking hypocrit or contradiction and doesn’t do over the top stupid s*** just 2 get attention and doesn’t need to cut a record every year just to stay relevant! And Gag-Me is a f****** druggie she even admitted that! She herself even said that most of her songs were written when she was high or cooked!

  25. DB April 12, 2010

    shes so annoying … yu talk about s** in all yur big records and then speak against it? makes no sense at all. if yoing people stopped being interested in having s** at an early age no one would be interested on her music. with that said, Lady Gaga is such a hypocrit.

  26. Fatima April 12, 2010

    Legendtina? Do people really think that’s cute? SMH SMH.

  27. MK April 12, 2010

    OMG she is totally the definition of class…

  28. LovinMyBreezy April 12, 2010

    To be honest, it was so cool hearing this from her. Maybe my friends would stop teasing because I’m almost 18 years old, and I haven’t had s** yet. I’m not ready to so I don’t know why they’re pressing me…

  29. Kenney April 12, 2010

    @ Fatima- Hell YES! Legendtina has sold over 43 million in 10 years whereas it’s taken gag-Me 2 years to sell almost 10 million of just one album which is her first. Legendtina won best new artist at the 2000 Grammies, Had 4 straight conscutive #1’s, Legendtina has 4 grammy awards and 1 latin award, Rollingstone named her #53 in their 100 greatest singers of all time as the only young artist under the age of 30 a list where Lady gag-Me is nowhere to be seen on, has a special recognition awrd from glaad media, woman of the year from the glamour women awrds, you get where i’m going with this? The awrds don’t even stop there! There’s too many to list!

  30. PAPARAZZI 4423 April 12, 2010

    I THINK SHE’S LYING BUT GOOD FOR HER

  31. EXPOSED April 12, 2010

    SHE’S A D*** AND T*****. NOT SURPRISED BY THE COMMENTS…

  32. Raychel April 12, 2010

    You people need to sthu
    at least lady gaga isnt like try songz and has s** throughout her WHOLE VIDEO.
    are you serious? grow up, just because she has a type of style that is sexual / povocative dosent mean shes going around having s** and screwing around.

  33. Raychel April 12, 2010

    and all of lady gagas songs dont even DEAL with s**. umm. eh eh nothing else I can say? BAD ROMANCE, oh, speechless, BROWN EYES? oh just to name a few. theres plenty more.
    smh

  34. WilliamsonViola April 12, 2010

    If you are in the corner and have no cash to move out from that point, you would have to take the credit loans. Just because it should aid you unquestionably. I take commercial loan every time I need and feel myself fine just because of that.

  35. bobby from bulgaria April 12, 2010

    I just have this feeling that Gaga’s running out of tricks already…

    Did this and that, shocked some people, bored others… But it’s getting more and more boring every day…

    The problem is… that when you put your whole career counting on playing tricks and trying to shock people then inevitably there comes the time when they get used to that and you have to be more and more shocking just to surprise them… but just like a drug they need a bigger and bigger dose every time and if you can’t provide it then you’re getting old and not very interesting anymore…

    So Lady Gaga’s not that BIG actually… She’s just RELEVANT…

    And RELEVANT is TEMPORARY… Just ’til the tricks are being considered entertaining…

  36. DizzyGuy1985 April 12, 2010

    Lady Gaga talking celibacy is like having Lil Kim and R Kelly do a dual seminar on abstinence at the community college.

    I like her music. But I wouldn’t want my kids to listen to it. Having s** has nothing to do with “being cool”. The last time I checked teenagers are still getting pregnant..and even moreso now. Instead of her trying to impart some wisdom she pretty much said whatever came to her Kermit the frog wearing mind.

    Her music is mostly about s**. But I am an adult and I have the right to listen to it. Its the parents responsibility to keep track of what their kids listen to.

    Lady Gaga and other artists are not role models. She likes to think she is activist for gays but I think she sets us back a few good years with her attire.

  37. matt April 12, 2010

    why are the haters comparing gaga to xtina. why the f*** do you losers feel the need to bring other artists up to bash another. what seems funny is that people are comparing xtina with gaga, a newcomer. just goes to show even the haters love gaga 😉

  38. cool chick April 12, 2010

    i love Gaga<3

  39. here to laugh April 12, 2010

    Yeah sure, okay Gaga. So why do sell so much s** with your imagery, songs, and videos if you’re celibate and want to send a positive message?

  40. amentheking April 12, 2010

  46. YouPutTheLimeInTheCoconut April 12, 2010

    She’s not celibate. She’s ugly. Nobody wants to f*** with this transvestite looking ass b****, that’s why she’s not having s**. And it’s not even like she looks like one of those HOT drag queens either, that’s the sad part about it all.

    Stay celibate b**** because we certainly don’t need the likes of you breeding mini “monsters” into this world.

    NEXT!
