Because no one does press tours like Lady Gaga does press tours. No one!
No one, and I mean no one, does a Hollywood press tour quite like Lady Gaga does.
And for the past few months, she hasn’t disappointed, saying weird shit on a daily basis.
The Italian girl from New York has given LGBTs *plenty* to talk about!
From the beginning, we knew her time in Italy was going to be good when she iconically threw flowers at her fans and they ran to them like pigeons.

But things really started ramping up in the fall, when she started promoting the movie.

The first great Gaga press moment came from an interview with British Vogue. When asked what career she would have if she wasn’t an entertainer, Gaga said she would be, of all things, a combat journalist.
“I would have been a combat journalist. That was one of my dreams. When I was at the Capitol, the day before the inauguration, I remember walking around and looking for evidence of the insurrection.”

Not only is that quote wild and low-key batshit, but the reactions were also hilarious:

“I knew I had to say goodbye to her. Large swarms of flies kept following me around, and I truly began to believe that she had sent them. I was ready to let her go,” she said.

Gaga fully lived as her character, Patrizia, speaking in her accent for NINE MONTHS straight. She drove by the spot where Maurizio Gucci was shot and told Variety she had a psychiatric nurse on set. “I had a psychiatric nurse with me towards the end of filming. I sort of felt like I had to. I felt that it was safer for me.”

There was the time Gaga said there was a sexual relationship between her and Salma Hayek’s character.

The time Gaga said she studied house cats for the role, saying “I studied a house cat, a fox, and a panther. I studied the way they seduced, the way they hunted, the way they reproduced, the way they enjoy themselves.”

And my personal favorite, the time Gaga said she feels drunk when she drinks the “prop drinks” and everyone was like, “Wait, what?!?!”
LA Times
Kristen Stewart is like “uhh.”
Kirsten Dunst just laughs.
And Jennifer Hudson just clutches her chest and shakes her head.
So yeah, I’m just happy we’re living through another Gaga press tour.
I can’t wait for awards season!
