Lady Gaga and the TMZ News Media Culture Can Suck It!

Lady Gaga doing what she does best, look like someone who desperately craves attention.

So I saw this article about Lady Gaga’s weight gain on Huffington Post and I just kind of got rubbed the wrong way and posted this comment to the article. I’m no fan of Gaga, at all actually, though I am a fan of the cult of celebrity less.
My response garnered a good solid handful of favorites so I decided to pass it on.

This whole weight gain TMZ, Perez Hilton obsession crap always fascinates me how mean spirited, stupid and out of touch the whole thing is. She gains 25 pounds and pretty much still looks skinnier then most of the women I see each day and I live in LA mind you.

I actually really can’t stand Lady Gaga. Her music is mindlessly simple and over-produced. It takes no chances, and it’s about 90% gimmick. I hear actually talented people talk about Gaga’s lack of talent all the time in private but everyone’s afraid to burn a bridge so the Empress’s meat dress continues to be called clothing.

Yet I actually sympathize with her when these slimy, talent-less Hollywood parasites try to take people down for something superficial. It’s like attacking a boxer for his hairstyle, because you don’t know enough about boxing to say a damn thing about the sport. Be frank, don’t take people down on fashion, that’s what cowards do.

All I can say is it’s a really bad time for both news and music because neither seems to have anything to do with news or music.
