"It all began in school. It was probaly when I was about 6, maybe less, and still not sure what I wanted to do with my life, but I loved to sing and one day I was singing along with my hairbrush in my hand dressed in my mother's clothes and high heels, with her lipstick and whipped cream all over my face when she came home from church unexpectedly, so I was "

Vampire Diaries star Taylor splashed out on a puppy for Lady Gaga for her 26th birthday.
She returned the favour by handing him a cat, so he will keep her in mind while she is off on her 110-date world tour.
Taylor also was spotted shopping for a promise ring for the singer.
"The promise ring is the biggest sign yet that they are thinking of getting married. It signifies that they are in a completely monogamous relationship," a source said.
The source added, "They are both absolutely smitten with one another. He thinks it's brilliant the way she hangs out with him and his pals, playing darts, at the bar, at the shooting range. She could soon be calling herself Mrs. Gaga."
The couple had intimate double-date dinner parties with their actor friend Emmy Rossum and her boyfriend Tyler Jacob Moore, who plays Tony Markovich in the Showtime hit Shameless.

Gaga's boyfriend not keen on Gaga
The pop superstar has been dating Taylor Kinney for six months and the hunky actor has reportedly told his world famous lover she doesn't need to dress up in wacky outfits or act bizarre when the pair are together.
A source told In Touch Weekly magazine: "Gaga started living and breathing her character 24/7 because she felt her fans wanted that."
Gaga - real name Stefani Germanotta - is seemingly willing to go along with 'The Vampire Diaries' star's request and has told him she is ready to be "more human" because he has assured her he loves her for who she is on the inside.
The source added: "Taylor has convinced her that he loves the real Stefani."
A desmodromic valve is a reciprocating engine valve that is positively closed by a cam and leverage system, rather than by a more conventional spring. The term desmodromic derives from two Greek roots, desmos (controlled, linked) and dromos (course, track).
The valves in question are those in a typical four-stroke engine that allow the air/fuel mixture into the cylinder at the beginning of the cycle and exhaust gases to be expelled at the end of the cycle. In a conventional four-stroke engine valves are opened by a cam and closed by return spring, desmodromic valves have two cams and two actuators each for positive opening and closing without any return spring.
In 1956, Fabio Taglioni, a Ducati engineer, developed a desmodromic valve system for the Ducati 125 Grand Prix, creating the Ducati 125 Desmo.
He was quoted to say:
The specific purpose of the desmodromic system is to force the valves to comply with the timing diagram as consistently as possible. In this way, any lost energy is negligible, the performance curves are more uniform and dependability is better.
The engineers that came after him continued that development, and Ducati holds a number of patents relating to desmodromics. Desmodromic valve actuation has been applied to top-of-the-range production Ducati motorcycles since 1968, with the introduction of the "widecase" Mark 3 single cylinders.
In 1959, the Maserati brothers introduced one of their final designs: a desmodromic four-cylinder, 2000cc engine for their last O.S.C.A. Barchetta.

Just heard your first song since Easter, HE txt me. What was it, I ask HIM? Edge of Glory, HE tell me. You sound like you six years old, HE say. I think I saw you at the gas station tonight. I was going to meet you there, but it was raining, and your Dad put you in the car, and drove off before we could talk. You're joking aren't you I asked? Am I I asked? You know if you were there or not, I don't. I'm 26, I told him, not 6. And you are yourself the whole time are you, he asked, and nobody else ever stands in for you, because I thought I sometimes did that for you, for no financial reward. Isn't that the same as me being your slave? Is that the relationship you want? Let's face it, you don't know me, or know who I am.
Is the Pentagon into your organisation? Do they have knowledge of an illegal drug habit you have? An speed habit? Illegal sex tapes? What? The NATO Admiral is in New Zealand. I had to speak to him, Do you know what his budget is, or what I get? $165 per week to live on. I'm not going to get a job when I own SUN JavaScript. My uniform is much more impressive than his. I control 30 navies, he has only half of the royal navy. The government privatised their commercial radio network some time ago, and now it is one big international radio network run on commercial lines from the USA, meaning Pentagon. The Pentagon steals aircraft designs and pays no royalties. They pay me nothing for JavaScript, which the RAF used first and they should pay me £100 per machine per month. We had electronic banking at Lloyd's bank when I was in London in 1976. There is no longer a clear line between private enterprise and government.
Believe me, he said, I have been giving
this message to the British Royal family for 30 years, but they just
don't get it. Now that Camilla is aware of what I did and how, the silence from her has been deafening, making me wonder if she plans to do anything to assist me getting paid, or she will be just like the Queen. The queen herself is close to the Bush family. No hope
that she will see the light before she dies. She could be Laura Bush, she is so close. You have to believe that my family goes
back to Jerusalem at the time of Jesus. Not just my parents and my sister, but my aunt, and her family. They were there. They didn't survive, but some of
the family relationships are still there: my sister, her daughter. And
she believes that, I ask? No, she thinks I'm crazy. She says she has none of the memories I have, but I think she is just frightened. What is there to be frightened of? I don't blame her, I
said. No, you only get to spend Christmas with me on one condition, he
said.
You should do the women's business thing. Make a market for your
music in the third world, by making it possible for kids to earn money,
possibly online. You can sell anything online, and you can also find
people jobs. Work with other artists, magazines, film and docco makers.
You need a couple of staffers working full time on this, and you need a
key group to have a weekly meeting with to set targets for the following
week. You can't just be rehearsing a show all the time, and dealing with
those people. They are only a fifth or less of what you are doing, so
you need five or six in your executive core. Sponsorships have to be
dealt with. who is in cahrge of that? You or your record company? I have
a big online music operation, but you haven't spoken to me once about
it. There is a dispute between Apple records and Apple computers about use of the name Apple. I think Apple records owns it. I've left you enough messages, but all you want to talk about is
love, and "if you don't love me on my terms, I'll find someone who does
what I want". It was bad enough submitting myself to my parent's authority, it is character building, but my sister still thinks I'm her two year old helpless brother. That sounds like you, I told him. You don't know me.
Don't
think you are out of the woods yet, he say. And don't tell me to get
fucked, he say, just before I tell him, because you are probably tired, excited,
drunk and not thinking straight. Say that to me, or act it out, and you
will be joining Adolph Hitler and Herman Goering in an intergalactic
lecture tour to advise civilisations on the pitfalls of living life as
an amoral human being and advocate of rape, murder cannibalism and
genocide. There is no hope of ever being out of such a club. God may not
care, but I do, and that is why God cares about me, apparently a lot
more than you do.
That song, where you "Dance, dance dance, with our
hands above our heads"? You sound as though you were there. I'd
forgotten that I taught them that dance, but do you know what it is
about? Surrender? I don't think you do. You can't do the Jesus thing without coming
out and saying you love Jesus. Try Adam and Eve. Nobody knows that
story. Original sin. Paradise. Animals. It has a lot of potential. West
side story, Romeo and Juliet, starcrossed lovers, waring gangs? Really,
you want that? I have lots of really really good new ideas for you if
you want to talk about them.
What you want from me I ask him? You want $3 million? No I know you don't have $3 million cash to give away, he say, but your legitimate business expenses are tax deductable. so are donations to the church. You could give me $50,000 and that would more than cover my living expenses for a year, or two years, or you could put me on the payroll. I'm sure you have a lot of permanent staff, but the industry will try to control you, make you borrow, get you in debt. You need me. You need the £300,000,000 a month my operation can pay you when it gets what it is owed. It is not an illusion, it is a cerainty, but I need your help, immediately, to get the pump primed, not when you feel like it, or get around to it. Many people are depending on me. You can call your 30 pieces of silver, a debt of $30,000 if you like, and it will be clear when you pay me in cash.
I'm waiting to see what this Born This Way Ball show is all about. I hope it isn't just a message about gay pride. In a way, since this year is the end of the 5,126 year Mayan calendar, it would have been good to somethiing with a theme along those lines, but I realize you have to write about the things which are going on in the life of a mega star who spends a lot of time on the road and in buses.Unfortunately bebe, he is telling me, this is where You and I part company.
Lady Gaga's ex-boyfriend Luc Carl has opened up about his bad romance with the pop superstar in a new memoir.
In
"The Drunk Diet: How I Lost 40 Pounds... Wasted: A Memoir," Carl admits
his former love was right to dump him before her career took off - and
he admits he struggled as she became a phenomenon.
He writes,
"The break-up with my girlfriend was my rock bottom. It took me about a
week to realize she was right. I was f**king miserable, and it wasn't
her fault. It was my fault for being a drunk a**hole. I would have left
me, too."
And when she became a pop sensation, he adds, "I was
happy for her, of course, but I didn't really need my ex shoved down my
throat."
According to Life & Style magazine editors, who
obtained the excerpt from the book, Carl and Gaga started dating in
2005. They split for good three years later.
I'm working on a plan to clean up this website www.ww.com, he said. It is in JavaScript, and I wrote it and own it but somebody else controls it, and I don't like what they are using it for.
You're a big gambler, babe, he told me. In what way, do you figure that one out genius, I asked him? You could have had everything I have, but you decided, no, you want something better, well fine, but I'm moving on.
You could have helped me these last two years, but no, you have your own agenda. You still don't know who I am. You don't know that it is me who created you, and you owe me for the work I have put in on your behalf, but no, you are too blind to see it.
The way I see it, you need me a lot more than I need you, he say. In fact, without me you have nothing, but without you, my life will be very little different from what it is now. You are betting everything, that I'll show up to your show, and it may not even be possible for me to do it.
You don't know how desperate my situation is, how I was forced to take a cleaning job, which a dozen other people would have killed to get, yet they don't have my computer skills, and they certainly don't have my martial arts training, or my ownership of SUN and Dragon. Those are mine exclusively.
Why don't you use those things to gain the income from them then, I asked him. Why do you want my money? Because you have money, and I thought you wanted to share everything you have with me, he said? Isn't that what love is? But you don't want that, you want to share everything you have with somebody else. Isn't that the correct answer?
If I do get there, you are betting, I'll see you after the show, in your dressing room, or if I don't go there, or don't get in, that we'll meet at the Sky Tower, if you decide to go there, and if I pass their dress code, with my jeans, or if I change, or if not, that we'll meet in the dark on Mt Eden at midnight, or if I'm late, or don't get arrested for drunk driving, that we have a final chance on One Tree Hill at One am. It is a big gamble, your career, on that? There's nothing we can achieve that we can't achieve here, on the net.
That's one way of looking at it, I say. What have you for me that I don't already have? You have no idea what you have or don't have, he say. God knows you, and will determine what you do or do not do, I'm just going to wait and see.
