Lady GaGa Stripper Past
Monday Morning Shocker: Pantless wonder Lady GaGa used to be a stripper.
Lady GaGa has revealed that, before she shot to the top of the charts with her funky single “Let’s Dance,” she worked as one of those other ladies of the night, stripping and swinging on poles all over the Tri-State area.
We could hardly believe it either! Who would have thought someone with such a prim and proper stage act would have a background in the sex industry?
“I was working in strip clubs when I was 18,” the singing star dishes in an interview with Fabulous Magazine. “Girls from my background weren’t meant to turn into someone like me,” she adds.
“I come from a wealthy Italian family, went to a good school [she was at the same super-rich Manhattan Catholic girls’ school – Convent Of The Sacred Heart – as Paris Hilton],” GaGa explains. “You’re meant to live with Mom and Dad until they die. I went against all I was brought up to be; I moved out of home, wouldn’t take any help from my parents [her internet entrepreneur dad and his business partner wife] and supported myself with waitressing jobs and stripping.”
It was around this time she began using drugs heavily.
She says, “My act was pretty wild. I’d wear black leather and dance to Black Sabbath, Guns N’ Roses and Faith No More. Very rock ’n’ roll. I don’t like to talk about it too much but there were drugs, serious drugs,” she says. “I wouldn’t want to inspire other people to do the same.”
Nonetheless, Lady GaGa doesn’t regret her past as a stripper.
“I discovered a real personal freedom through it….I was drawing huge crowds, setting hairspray alight on stage and dancing madly…I have a strong sense of my own sexuality. I love the naked human body and I have huge body confidence.”

i think the fact that she was a stripper gave her the experience to make her music as REALISTICALLY hot as they are. it’s not like Britney spears who basically sings about wanting to get naked and screw any man within 10 feet. she makes her music videos hot but she still strong. i’d put her on par with shakira personally

whats so bad about stripping? In Sweeden topless women hold up the speed limit signs. All it is, is dancing naked. Its socially acceptable for men to go as a client, so why is it so bad for a girl to work there?

I agree with ’steve’ (WEUA) – in all her music videos she is a strong woman – you get a vibe that she’s always in control – something most women should aspire to. I guess she’s very lucky to be working in the music business now rather than wasting away her talent and uniqueness on drunks at strip clubs. At least as an artist she can express her identity and fashion and its all classiffied as pop anyway. In the ‘real’ world your looked upon strangely if you where red tights under a bright apple green dress, with a boulder hat – it happened to me! People are used to always seeing what they expect – Lady Gaga pushes those boundaries broadening peoples views and perspectiuves. I for one feel better knowing that there are creative people out there doing what they love. Also just wanted to add that there’s no point in banning her video clips – most of them aren’t really sexual, in fact some of the dance moves she does a pretty old school – nevertheless i still enjoy them.

At the end of the day most guys end up at strip clubs at some point in their lifes and so do a fair few women….so what does it matter. She’s got a nice body, so taking her clothes off for money would have been a good start in life for her.

You people are judgemental idiots. They don’t manipulate unless you let them manipulate you. Don’t say strippers are all dirty whores because of what they do. No reason to lose respect just because of her past; She got much farther than you did. The human body is just a vessel, flaunt it if you got it, cover it if you dont, please.

First of all, I am sick and tired of people badmouthing strippers and dancers. Second I think anyone who peacefully entertains other people weither it be with their body, dancing singing or any combination deserves credit where credit is due. Get it through your thick society twisted heads. There is nothing sick or morally wrong with the human body..We all have one and it is the most pure and natural thing we posses as humans. Sex is the only thing that sustains our existence, without sex the human race dies. It is immoral acts such as robbery and murder that we should be concerned with, The showing of the beauty God has blessed us with is no crime.

Wow i read all these comments and I don’t think I could have felt any more stupid than when I am if i was unconscious. However, I would like to comment on how “entertainment hott” Lady GA GA is. She is one of the hottest female artists ever! She has 4 #1’s from her debut album! I don’t care if any of you idiots like her or not. The woman knows what sells and how to make money in her industry. Stop be envious of her success and go to a junior college and get a FUCKING degree you moronic degenerates! Some of you need to order “hooked on phonics” and learn you damn native language. Oh and the DAD with three girls that has a 6yr old trying fuck the boy next door just means you need to spend more time with your family. Try spanking them when they fuck up…humans respond well when you break them down…JUST ASK OUR ARMY!!!

Dustin and get a life have excellent points… Parents that let their kids watch TV or play on their computers in the middle of the night are Not doing their parental duties, sometimes you do have to give firm guidance to your kids when they refuse to listen. Now, for the others that are homophobic or just plain jealous of people like Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert, as get a life said “Get A Life !!!” Stop complaining about others who worked and got Filthy Rich because dancing, showing skin and homo-sexuality is as old as time itself, and as long as these Stars including Britney Spears, Milley Cirus and the next generation of stars are talked about because they made some waves, they will just keep on making more and more money and I think they deserve it for entertaining millions around the world. Keep on spreading the news, it’s just more publicity for them. While putting down others that made it and will keep on making it no matter what you say about them is really unsophisticated especially when most of you can’t even write or spell properly and complaining aboub the famous will Not make you rich. Hats of to Lady Gaga, she had a dream and went for it, even if she had to dance in some sleazy clubs to make ends meat but she made it and now she’s famous and talk about her all you want until you go Gaga…
