Eccentric pop sensation Lady Gaga says her success is all the sweeter because a former flame insisted her dreams of fame were delusional.
The 23-year-old reveals, “I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song and that he hoped I’d fail. I said to him, ‘Someday, when we’re not together, you won’t be able to order a cup of coffee at the f*cking deli without hearing or seeing me.'”
Gaga – whose real name is Stefani Germonatta – adds, “I’ve always been delusionally ambitious to the point where people don’t understand me.”
Meanwhile, it’s rumoured the ‘Poker Face’ singer suffered an “identity crisis” while performing in Liverpool last week. A close source reports, “Gaga loves drama, so instead of hiring bedrooms at one of the city’s five-star hotels, she decided to hire suites at three of Liverpool’s most expensive. She demanded to be driven through the secret back entrance of her hotel away from snooping eyes. Later she sent a fleet of silver oercedes to the hotel entrance and to a nearby restaurant as a decoy to fool fans and paparazzi. Meanwhile, she stayed holed up in her suite enjoying tea and toast.”
A hotel insider adds, “Lady Gaga didn’t want to be seen by anyone as she was having an identity crisis. She said she wasn’t looking or feeling like Gaga.”
