One of the most original superstars of this generation may have a very unoriginal habit: starving herself.
A new biography about the life of the singer, by Pulitzer Prize nominated author Maureen Callahan, “Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga” makes startling revelations about the seemingly confident singer.
In the book, (via Pop Eater) Gaga’s former tour manager, David Ciemny, claims that the Princess of Pop binged on junk food when she wasn’t depriving herself of calories altogether. He alleges that last year alone, the Grammy winning superstar found herself in the hospital six times while dieting to slim down.
Wendy Starland, a woman who helped discover the then unknown Stefani Germanotta (who would become Lady Gaga), confirmed to the author that “The pressure on her to lose weight was very high.”
After a concert in March, Little Monsters worried about their beloved Lady Gaga who nearly collapsed on stage, appearing exhausted. The following month, her rep denied rumors that the record-setting artist was on a bizarre baby food diet.
Lady Gaga has used her provocative image to sell millions of records. While she truly appears to hunger to inspire her fans, perhaps the most inspirational of all would be to stop the actual hunger pains and find a size that is healthy for her.
