Lady Gaga Tested for Lupus; Tells Fans Not To Worry

Lady Gaga is back in the headlines after admitting to the
London Times that she has been tested for lupus. However, the 'Bad Romance' singer wouldn't reveal the results of the tests, saying only, "I don't want anyone to be worried."
"I'm very connected to my aunt, Joanne, who died of lupus," she continues. "It's a very personal thing." The star made news in March when she
collapsed on stage during her 'Monster Ball' tour and had to
cancel several shows earlier this year due to exhaustion, and many are concluding that the singer may suffer from the condition, which causes heart palpitations, shortness of breath, joint pain, anemia and extreme fatigue.
The singer admitted to having heart palpitations, saying, "But it's okay. It's just from fatigue and other things."
Gaga tells the Times she recently had to call for emergency personnel while touring in Japan. "I was having trouble breathing. I had a little oxygen, then I went on stage," she says. "I was OK. But like I say, I don't want anyone to worry."
Gaga's increasing fascination with death has been a constant theme for her since the release of her second album, 'The Fame Monster.' Despite her apparent health problems, the star has made several on-stage
declarations that she can "sleep when I'm dead" and "[I] would rather not die on vacation, I'd rather die onstage with all my fans."
A candid moment in the bathroom of a Berlin nightclub with the Times reporter appears to settle another rumor that has plagued the star -- that she is a hermaphrodite. The Times journalist "uniquely" confirms that Lady Gaga does not have a penis after sharing a bathroom with the popstar, who was too intoxicated to bother removing her fishnet stockings.
"I'm just going to pee through my fishnets!" Gaga exclaimed. And that's precisely what she did.

If Lady Gaga has lupus, I also have lupus. It is a terrible disease. I have been drinking Kangen Water for my diabetics, thyroid and lupus. It has helped tremondsly. Hope she is drinking the right kind of water that is what her body needs.

Lupus can kill you.
Umm...yeah, I know what lupus is. I think you totally missed my point, Sleepyhead. Perhaps you should wake up your head before you write.
It's not lupus!

I was tested for Lupus when my hair kept falling out. Turned out to be my thyroid gland.

Lady Gaga may be talented but she is a PIG and a lousy role model for women. We need more ladylike women in show business instead of filth!!
Um, Lady Gaga has said she is celibate, meaning no sex for I guess whenever.
