Lady Gaga, who just broke up with Taylor Kinney, says that when she does decide to get married, it will be for good. Divorce is not an option.
Though she’s been known to shock with her outlandish outfits and raunchy stage shows, the Born This Way singer insists marriage is for life.
On The Conversation With Amanda De Cadenet (so much for that self-imposed media blackout) which aired in the US last week, she said:
“My grandmother… was married to my grandfather for 60 years. My parents are still together, 30 years. Divorce is not an option for me.”
“It’s like, ‘I’m gonna get married and

Lady Gaga is under fire in Korea – and not even from the Northern half.
Christian groups in South Korea called on Friday for the pop star to cancel her concert there, saying it’s “pornographic” and pro-homosexuality.
South Korea’s government has already bowed to public pressure and banned people under 18 from attending, but certain protesters said that was not enough.
“Even adults can’t see her performance which is too homosexual and pornographic,” said Rev. Yoon Jung-hoon, organizer of “Civilians Network against the Lady Gaga Concert.”
“Some people can simply accept this as another

It is on between the Beliebers and the Little Monsters.

Lady Gaga may be cutting herself off from interviews, but in her last sit-down before that self-imposed time out, the star’s giving us plenty to talk about.
Showing her maternal side in a recent chat with Oprah Winfrey (airing tomorrow night on OWN), Gaga says she not only wants kids, but a lot of them.
A “soccer team” full of them, to quote the Mother Monster.
“Yeah, yeah, I do,” a (relatively) conservatively dressed Gaga, 25, told the talk show host, 58, when asked if she was serious about wanting a large family.
“I mean maybe I’m being a bit superfluous [about the soccer team], but I

Are tensions rising between Madonna and Lady Gaga?
In an interview with Newsweek (via the Daily Beast), Madonna commented that Lady Gaga’s 2011 single “Born This Way” was a “redo” of her “Express Yourself.”
“I thought, this is a wonderful way to redo my song [1989's "Express Yourself"],” she says. “I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was… interesting.”
High praise … not. Here’s a side-by-side comparison:
