Lady Gaga Says New Album Will Be ‘Spiritual’

Gaga says Fame follow-up reflects how she feels ‘much more connected to God.’ By James Montgomery Lady Gaga Photo: Jon Furniss/ WireImage In a new interview with The Times of London, Lady Gaga gets deep on a number of topics — life, love, health, wealth and religion, to name just a few — and from the sound of things, all of those are going to be addressed on her new album. “You know when people say, ‘If you could say one sentence about who you are, what your life is,’ it’s that. For the whole album,” Gaga told the paper (link). “Because I recently had this … miracle-like experience, where I feel much more connected to God.” When The Times ‘ Caitlin Moran pressed Gaga to clarify her statement, she made it clear that the new album will not shy away from topics like God and religion, but the scope won’t just be limited to Gaga’s own Christian upbringing. The goal, she explains, is to explore them in an all-encompassing, broader sense. “[It’s] more spiritual,” Gaga says. “I don’t want to say much, because I want it to stay hidden until it comes out — but I will say that religion is very confusing for everyone, and particularly me, because there’s really no religion that doesn’t hate or condemn a certain kind of people, and I totally believe in all love and forgiveness, and excluding no one.” Gaga also says that, despite being in the middle of a seemingly endless world tour, she’s recording music “every day.” In fact, she said she has already completed the majority of the follow-up to her ultra-successful The Fame and The Fame Monster. But she was mum about just when her Little Monsters will be able to hear any of it. “[I] can’t talk about it yet,” she said. “But everyone’s going to f—ing know about it when it comes out.” Related Photos Lady Gaga, Elton John Perform At Rainforest Benefit The Evolution Of: Lady Gaga Lady Gaga Lights Up Germany Related Artists Lady Gaga

PETA Billboard to Mock Tiger Woods’ Sex Life

Never one to shy away from controversy, exhibit good taste or achieve anything of significance for their alleged cause, PETA is planning a new Tiger Woods ad. Unlike most PETA ads, which show celebrities espousing pet adoption, not wearing fur, etc., this one uses the Tiger Woods scandal as a PR-grabbing punchline. The billboard, planned for directly in the embattled golf star’s neighborhood, no less, will ostensibly promote PETA’s mission of spaying and neutering pets. In reality, though, it’s just a cheap shot at Tiger Woods … Needless to say, PETA created this without Tiger Woods’ blessing. “Too Much Sex Can Be a Bad Thing… for little tigers, too. Help keep your cats (and dogs) out of trouble: Always spay or neuter,” the waste of space group says. While THG will never be Woods apologists (unlike this guy ), we are once again struck by how low PETA will go for attention, and what little it accomplishes. According to the Orlando Sentinel , the only hitch is that PETA needs a billboard company who will agree to put up the sign … and that could be a tall order. “It’s a fun, tongue-in-cheek approach. We hope these billboard companies will understand,” Virginia Fort, a campaigner with PETA, told the paper of the ad. Fort also suggested, ridiculously, that Woods would “appreciate” it, since it’s in good fun and
