"Did Mama monster eat one of her little monsters?"
For once it wasn't Lady Gaga's outré costume that dropped everyone's jaws when she appeared in a concert.
In September last year, Lady Gaga put on about 30 pounds to be nearly twice the size she used to be. She received criticism from various quarters of late for gaining weight. Yet she insisted that she "really doesn't feel bad about it."
She attributed her fuller figure to her Dad's NYC eatery, Joanne Trattoria. "It's so freaking delicious, but I gain 5 pounds every time I go," the pop star lamented. "I love eating pasta and pizza."
A personal history doesn't help. She has battled anorexia and bulimia in the past, and weight issues run in her family. Usually, her gruelling performances offset any high-calorie intake, but Gaga took a 5 week break from her Born This Way tour sometime during July and August. She also went on a vacation with her boyfriend, so it was said that she didn't have a chance to stick to her usual diet.
In response to the uproar over her weight gain, the diva started the 'Body Revolution' movement on her social networking site (www.LittleMonsters.com) to "inspire bravery", "celebrate perceived flaws" and "breed some compassion".
Don't you just love Lady Gaga for being a role model on body image issues?
