Lady Gaga Bares Everything, Talks About That 'Stupid Love' Leak & Her 'Artpop' Shade!

Lady Gaga is baring everything on the cover of Paper magazine’s newest issue!

The imagery was created through 3D scanning and CGI renderings in collaboration with Belgian artist Frederik Heyman, creative director Nicola Formichetti and Paper’s editorial team.

Here’s what the 33-year-old entertainer had to share with the mag…

On “Stupid Love” leaking early: “There was a minute where me and my manager, Bobby, were talking, ‘Do we change the single?’ We’d just spent months and months developing this video and choreography. And I said, ‘Nope!’ You know why? Because the song, when it’s mixed, mastered and finished with the visuals, and everything I have to say about it — when all those things come together at once, that will be the art piece I’m making. Not a leak.”

On how she really feels about ARTPOP and her famous “I don’t remember ARTPOP” tweet: “I think it’s funny that I’m not allowed to have a sense of humor. The internet is essentially a big joke, but if I tell one everyone freaks out. I don’t regret my art, and I wouldn’t suggest anyone do.”

On the challenge of being happy: “[Happiness] is not that simple. I have clinical depression. There’s something going on in my brain where the dopamine and serotonin are not firing the same way, and I can’t get there. If someone says, ‘Come on, just be happy,’ I’m like, ‘You f*cking be happy.’”
