Report: Lady Gaga Is 'Sick and Obsessed with her Weight'

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted Jul 7th 2011 09:30AM

Forget the 'Edge of Glory,' according to a report from Star magazine (via Radar Online), Lady Gaga is on a dangerous edge when it comes to her health. From her eating habits to her extreme self-scrutinizing, apparently it is just a matter of time before Gaga's unhealthy lifestyle catches up with her.

"Those who have worked with her on tour reported to me that Gaga barely ate for weeks at a time to fit into her costume," investigative journalist, Ian Halperin told Star. "She is sick and obsessed with her weight. One friend told me, Gaga will stare at herself in the mirror for hours on end, analyzing and critiquing her body. It's an unhealthy obsession."

But fitting into her outrageous and often barely there get-ups isn't the only reason Gaga is so concerned with her body -- according to Halperin, she uses her outlandish wigs and perfectly toned body to distract from the side affects of her Lupus -- a disease she has publicly admitted to battling. The disease has reportedly caused the mother monster to lose hair and break out in red blotches all over her body.

But Halperin who has been investigating Gaga for the past 12 months explains that her disease and her weight problems are not her only demons.

"Her drug use started young," he explained. "From heroin to cocaine and ecstasy, her friends say that she has done every drug conceivable. You name it she has done it. She's morphed into this caricature called Lady Gaga, who isn't even a real person. The girl known as Stefi to her friends and family has all but disappeared."

Although we imagine that it's only human to be somewhat self-scrutinizing when you're performing in front of millions, we hope that Gaga can take her own 'Born This Way' advice.

Well, she certainly looks sick to me....but it's not necessarily because of her weight.

I'd love to see what all you critical people look like. I think I ate something bad this morning- could use the help getting it out of me.

She's trying to reinvent her image, since her novelty has gotten threadbare.
She was on a talk show, and her stereotypical suburban mom was in the audience voicing her support. All of a sudden she's a tortured soul burdened with eating disorders and drug addiction, estranged from her family? Bull!
She probably has some plastic surgery planned, and needs the "rehab" excuse to disapear for a few months while the swelling goes down, but still maintaining her tabloid popularity.

I wouldn't wish Lupus on anybody. But as far as the way she looks (djk2), Liberace said it best: When asked if it bothered him when someone made fun of the way he looked, he said, "I cry about it ... all the way to the bank!"

She is going to be the next young celebrity tragedy.

By themeeker

She'd easily lose 20 lbs if she ripped those ugly chiclets out of her mouth. She looks like a horse, and not in the good way.

Big middle finger to ya' gagme.

Nasty. People like you are the problem.

By lancelegstrong

In reality she's just jealous of all the attention Leann Rimes and her visible internal anatomy look have been getting.

RAAAALPH Upchuck is a name more fitting for this beast.

There's something fishy about this story. If it came from Star Magazine, it's not true. None of their stories are true at all.

Wow...That's very...sad yo. wow. That's just sad man.

Ian Halperin is a known whacko not a real journalist. He started saying Brad and Angelina would be divorced soon, 3 years ago. He reported Courtney Love had Kurt murdered. He reported Michael Jackson dressed as a tranny and had sex with construction workers in roach motels.
